es lo que reclamo yo, que todos somos iguales

About Me

i live in small-town california. more conservative than you could imagine, but fairly pleasant. i'm surrounded by grape vineyards, cotton fields, and nut trees. i wake up to the sound of crop dusting planes, a rooster, and semi-trucks. my bed is one of my favorite places to be. i think about a lot of things in spanish and make salsa about once a week or every two weeks. i find books to be addicted to then read them non-stop for days. i can only listen to the news about twice a week because the cruelty and pain weighs me down too much. that might sound cheesy, but it's true.

My Interests

books, riding bikes, kris, talking to suzanne and kari on the phone, my brothers, camping, thinking, puppies.

I'd like to meet:

i'm still, still afraid of new people.

Music:

latin pop, lately.

Movies:

valentin, ghost busters

Television:

don't really watch it

Books:

so many. we have more books now than ever before. zorro is good, by isabel allende. east of eden by steinbeck. the book of mormon?
