.. now iconLet's see: I'm Tanya. Soy Paraguaya. I'm Jewish. Yes, the Latina Jew. I have a Bachelors Degree in English and Global Cultures, with a minor in Socio-Cultural Anthropology. I finished my Senior Thesis in 3 days. I graduated Cum Laude with English Honors :) I learned how to drive in one month and got my license Cinco de Mayo. I love Tequila; anyone that knows me knows how I do with my PATRON. I love to dance. I'm ONE/third of the FABULOUS crew. I love CourtTV. BEWARE: I have a brain and I'm not afraid to use it; I have a mouth and I'm very smart about when I use it. I'm socio-politically-and-culturally inclined. I value intellectual exchanges between like- and unlike-minded individuals. I try to learn from my surroundings and I'm blessed to come into contact with people much smarter than me. I yearn to make a difference and affect at least one person in my lifetime; affect them enough to analyze their lives and to question the world around them, to make at least one woman find her true value, or one man understand the world a woman truly faces. I'd love to figure out the the role each of us plays in the amazing game of chess life is and pass on my knowledge to those who are hungry for knowledge as well. I want to be "an expert" in something. I'd like to believe that I'm FABULOUS.

My Interests

Dancing, Writing, Listening to music... During the summers, I used to work in Virgin Megastore. I like making things - crafts give me silence and time for my brain to be quiet. I love reading The New York Times Magazine (especially "The Ethicist), Hanging out with my friends like everyone else... Quite in love with my SIMS2 game, wish I actually had a PS2 to play it on...

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people that went to York Prep in NYC, TASIS in Switzerland, ASL in London, UNIS in NYC... People who go to Binghamton University... Myspace is REUNION-Space!! hahaha...PLEASE, Psychos need NOT apply.... if you're looking for someone to preach to, don't send me a message, I think I'm pretty balanced and don't need "converting" of any kind.I hate answering the "status" question. People who know me know. If you're looking for the love of your life, your one and only, your everything, YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR ME. And if you're looking for a one night stand, you're not looking for me either. I'm not looking for a partner. That position is taken care of.De La Vega is absolute GENIUS. Quiero sentarme y conversar con el un dia para poder absorber aunque sea un 2% de su intelecto. Sus palabras brillan con poder propio. Su sabiduria es algo que no deja de sorprenderme. Sus dibujos son tan simples que me complican y me empujan a observar, questionar, y demandar respuestas de mi misma. I've actually stood in his store downtown and been moved to tears by a number of his works. I have yet to understand what it is that moves me so. He's so inspiring it's just praise-worthy. He'll never know how much his work truly touches me, but it's good enough that I know. . ..
