Music, running, the ocean, writing, sneezing, photography, astronomy, unusual behavior in the subway, social experiments, romantic gestures, foggy nights,
the night, serendipity, perusing bookstores, contagious laughter, iced caramel macchiatos, white chocolate mochas,
tea, ErSar, weird humor, writing on money, drunk dials, candlelit bubble baths,
transcribing weird guitar tunings, books, coffee, random acts of kindness, egg and cheese,
the wee hours of the morning, mehndi, the Blues, my secret nook in Café World,
independent films, sleeping in, rising early, philosophy, my windowsill, defying stereotypes, spirituality,
being the opposite of what people expect, rock climbing, mountain climbing,
staying in a grass-roof hut in the middle of nowhere, "roughin' it", thunderstorms, lightning storms,
rollerblading (also known as kick-ass blading), running,
kissing in the rain, inner radiance, magnetism, karmic astrology,
hot wax on my skin, finding money in old clothes, nag champa incense, travelling alone, dream yoga, knitting, wearing sunglasses on the subway (the kind where you can't see my eyes) so that people can't tell if I'm staring at them or sleeping, snowboarding, discovering new streets in neighborhoods I think I know well, basil mozzarella & tomato drizzled with oil & vinegar, jogging while wearing 80's gear, making my own juice, running in the rain, not using umbrellas, the ErLena Express, singing along to music while jogging, riding my bike in the rain while listening to the Eternal Sunshine soundtrack, motorcycle rides, stretching, taking steaming hot baths in the winter with the window open, crunchy peanut butter, elephants, communication theory, unlearning the bullshit history we learned in school and relearning what really went down, attempting to be culturally aware, belly laughs, espresso & bailey's, cozy nooks, mah evertreash, googly eyes, googly eye-ing, the flood of direct afternoon sunlight in my room, earl grey tea with lemon, the shadows the trees create on my walls at night, having my back walked on, the feeling of seawater leaking out of your ear while hopping on one foot at the beach, Quinoa, musicians who make funny faces while playing, hot toddies, dancing in the dark, ginger baths, longboarding, documentaries - but not at all in that order.
I'd like to meet:
Good eye contact. Home-made juice enthusiasts. Longboarding buddies. Someone to listen to Miles Davis with on rainy days.
