my roots will one day bring me back east, but for now, i'm going to enjoy what the west has to offer... hiking, biking, roadtrip adventures, beach walks, wine tastings... the possibilities are pretty much endless. here's a few other random tidbits too: i love buying books, but i often have trouble finishing them. i thoroughly enjoy movies with subtitles. i have a pet snake. the steps of the philadelphia museum of art are one of my favorite places in the country. love van gogh, dali & gaudi. i want to go to africa, badly. there's nothing that warms my heart more than the laughing, smiling faces of african children. i've been researching post-grad programs in the UK... definitely something in conservation/sustainable development. i'm often a stickler when it comes to spelling and grammar (m-w.com is one of my most used websites), but i'm too lazy to capitalize in informal correspondence. i miss taking east coast road trips. i love making lists. i laugh a lot, usually at myself. pedicures are awesome. someday i'll go on a cattle drive. wow, i should probably quit now. haha. if you need any more, you know what to do.
