About Me

i love to read but don't do it enough. (i had to drop out of dane's book club-shamefully, though luis recruited me for a new one) i love to write, but it seems to go the way of the reading thing. i would like to stay in school forever, and i teach to support my habit and get my education fix. i like to argue, in a good way i hope. i definitely have my opinions. i coach field hockey. i like realness, like in a good song or cup of coffee with a friend kind of way. i have too much stuff on my walls. i have dreams of a bright funky house, but for now i am working on a bright funky apartment. i buy too many bags. i collect good quotes. i'm a people watcher. i am ridiculously nostalgic. i speak spanish in my head but am too much of a puss to actually use it. i am a crier--sad movies, live music, nice words from good friends. i finally went somewhere--paris to visit dane. (i want to keep traveling and i want you to come with me!) i feel naked if my toenails aren't painted.

My Interests

live music, low key bars, reading, writing, window shopping, going to salvage shops and the flea market, making stuff

I'd like to meet:

you

Music:

ANYTHING LIVE, any cover song, U2, ozomatli... too many to list for now

Movies:

the part of taxi driver i have seen, buena vista social club, moulin rouge, billy madison, y tu mama tambien, el crimen del padre amaro, old school, bamboozled, the color of fear, again anything that gets me angry and wanting to argue. i'll watch anything you want to show me

Television:

i am a jeopardy fiend, law and order, trading spaces, project greenlight, will and grace, inside the actors studio, the west wing, surprise by design, while you were out, i love the 80s, sex and the city, i cry at extreme makeover: home addition, okay okay i watch the OC, and laguna beach, but that's it, i swear--although i should point out i can't remember when any of these damn shows are on so i watch them sporadically

Books:

the unbearable lightness of being (actually anything by milan kundera), the prophet, rod mckuen, the old man and the sea, lies and the lying liars who tell them, DA VINCI CODE, savage inequalities, amazing grace, mike davis, omi and winant, anything that gets me fired up, the sound of translated words
