Sara Parks Ricker is one of Stephen Gilbert's Wikipedia minions. She sincerely hopes that her lack of computer skills will not accidentally cause Wikipedia to explode and disappear.
She spent 2 1/2 years teaching ESL in Daejeon, South Korea to pay off the debts incurred while obtaining her financially useless yet personally satisfying degrees in English Literature and Biblical Studies and her diploma in Fine Arts.
She is currently residing in Montreal, Canada, doing a Masters of Arts in Religious Studies at McGill University. Her major is Biblical Studies, and her favourite classes are in apocryphal/pseudepigraphal texts. Her friends are proud of her accomplishments. (Stephen, did you write that line???)
She is a "Maritime" Canadian, which means she wears a "toque" in Winter, talks to people while standing in line at the grocery store, says "sorry" when other people bump into her, eats vinegar on her fries, and drinks Keith's (sometimes for breakfast).
Her ideals include: non-violence, veganism, inter-religious dialogue, anti-corporate-globalization, conservative spelling and grammar (keep "whom!" Keep "whom!"), memorizing useless tidbits about James Bond, ...oh, and a good cup of coffee that doesn't oppress the growers for ONCE.
Sara's a sporadic Wikipedia minion, because of lots of other "homework," but will have lots to contribute once her Master's research is complete, from the Maccabean Revolt to Lesbianism in Greco-Roman Judaisms.
Sara solemnly promises not to let her hippie biases seep into her writing.
