Hi, I'm Applejuicefool, a 38-year old high school teacher living in Big Spring, Texas. Here are some more facts about me:
- I teach science, though my degree is a B.A. in English. I am certified by the State of Texas to teach both English and Physical Science in grades 8-12.
- Before becoming a teacher, I had a career as a newspaper reporter. I started at the Port Arthur News and worked there 2.5 years. My next reporting gig was at the Weslaco bureau of the Valley Morning Star (Harlingen) and The Monitor (McAllen). I worked there for six months before moving to West Texas, where I worked two years for the Big Spring Herald.
- After leaving the Port Arthur News, I moved to College Station and had a brief, unsuccessful stint with Steve Jackson Games. My job was to transfer some of their old roleplaying adventures into downloadable PDF format. Due to a combination of factors, my work for SJG was unsatisfactory to the management of that company, and I was let go after 2 months.
- I was born in Baltimore, Maryland, but grew up in Port Arthur, Texas. I attended Thomas Jefferson High School in Port Arthur. In 2002, TJHS was merged with Port Arthur's other high schools (Abraham Lincoln High School and Stephen F. Austin High School) to form Memorial High School. Memorial is physically located at the old Jefferson campus.
- My reason for moving to West Texas was that I met my wife, a Colorado City native whom I met through Yahoo! Personals. She is 11 years my senior, and has grown children and grandchildren living in the area, so naturally was loathe to move elsewhere.
- I enjoy:
- Games of all types - Board, Card, CCG, Roleplaying, Tabletop/Miniature, Computer, Arcade, etc. etc. Until recently, I played the MMORPGs World of Warcraft and Guild Wars, but I found that I didn't have time to keep up when school started this fall.
- I will soon be playing Conan: The Roleplaying Game by Mongoose Publishing. It's a d20 system; looks cool.
- Reading, especially science fiction, fantasy, and (lately) magical realism. Right now I'm reading The Keep of Fire by Mark Anthony.
- Movies. The last one my wife and I saw in the theater was The Prestige with Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. Interesting, albeit somewhat predictable twist.
