About Me

I like water. I like mud. I'm not high maintenance. I like to go outside and get dirty. I like art...created on purpose or by mistakes. Concerts are my favorite. I study marine/environmental science, Spanish and politics. I like new places and foreign places and traveling to them all...planned, unplanned, by road, by air, by sea...whatever, just get me there. I spent three years as editor-in-chief of my university newspaper so if all else fails, I'll be a journalist. I appreciate creativity and people who think for themselves, and when I get bored I like to try something new. I love good books that bring you to their world, open spaces, *non*corporate coffee shops (Third Place @ home), sunny days, and October. In June I spent two weeks working with leatherback sea turtles at the Pacuare Nature Reserve in Costa Rica...I think it is destined to become my new home...eventually Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

I'd like to meet:

I want to chill with Salvador Dalí, Ansel Adams, Jane Goodall, Picasso, Hemingway, Miguel de Cervantes, and the spirit of Don Quixote. Yeah, most of them are dead, guess I'm SOL.But for the real answer, I like to meet all kinds of people... width="425" height="350" ..
