I am here for Friends

About Me

Still in London, hanging out in the library for the most part, occasionally doing something culturally enriching. Like having chinese food in honor of the lunar new year. It's the year of the pig people--and that means me--I really hope this year has big plans for me. I really need a manicure but I am too cheap to buy one, I also need to start getting out of bed before noon on the weekends because someday i think that might be frowned upon...oh well in the interim i will sleep, dreaming about the joy that are the coconut cupcakes from barefoot contessa. and human rights, of course.....

My Interests

Music, reading, travelling, eating chocolate, choclo con queso, coffee, SUDOKU (my one true love), my cat, really good mexican food and all things political
