I studied international relations--specifically, war and security, Latin American politics, and gender in international politics. I like archaeology and math. I am fascinated by inter-species relations. Religions, especially the evolution of the world's major religions; the theories presented by my man, Charles Darwin; sexual politics and the biology that underlies them.
Anyone who looks like Matt Leinart. I really want to meet more vegans. Nice people. Smart, nice people. I already met Jeremy Piven's mom, so I can cross her off the list.

I like watching sports. Not motor sports though. And shows about the natural world. Iron Chef. Family Guy and The Simpsons.
Lord of the Flies. Throw in a few more from the canon (The Great Gatsby, The Scarlet Letter, Huck Finn, Oedipus Rex); I also read crappy adventure novels of the Crichton/Cussler/Brown variety. Oh, Entre Amigas is really, really good for anyone who speaks Spanish. Black Like Me--amazing investigative journalism. I like the poetry of Robert Lowell, feminist prose, and Kurt Vonnegut. Gulliver's Travels is a great satirical work. Julius Caesar is my favorite play by Shakespeare. Beware the Ides of March!!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
