I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I am living in my own one bedroom apartment in Midtown, overlooking the rows of trees shading the streets here in Sacramento. I am almost finished with my Master's degree, and hope to be done in the Spring of 2008. I hope to teach Philosophy and Humanities classes at Junior College when I am finished with school.
While I'm in school I'm also working at the Tower Cafe.
When I have time to myself I like being outside.
Especially by the ocean.
I also like going out dancing, and the Persian poet Hafiz.
He said:

One regret, dear world,
That I am determined not to have
When I am lying on my deathbed
Is that
I did not kiss you enough.


I couldn't agree more.

My Interests

Dancing, being outside, shows, hiking, poetry, learning, vintage, cooking, riding my bike, acccoustic guitar, coffee shops, bookstores, music, my fish Falcore, Mysticism, motown, farsi, The 80's, people who speak up for themselves, drives, walks at night, good questions, frisbee in the park, sunset on the beach, time alone, time with friends

And this girl...

When
two dreamers
get together,
Watch out:
Anything is possible.

I'd like to meet:



Fighters. Lovers.
