I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I love to dance: tango, salsa (and bachata, and merengue), and swing -those are the dances I can do in order from most to least experience. And belly dance...I intend to die a polyglot, and I am not "a hobby linguist" (as a friend called me that). Maybe I want a career in linguistics, anthropology and/or sociology/psychology. But I am studying for some kind of health profession right now, so I can have healthcare....and be part of a practical force.If that doesn't work, I need a plan so exotic that it will blow my mind instead of yours. I learning Arabic, and I want to learn Farsi, and Spanish, and Portuguese and Tirgrinya and German, and Italian, and Latin and...... I believe in funding education, healthcare, libraries, parks, and the such, and I also believe in the separation of church and state, and money and lobbying and opinion and law to the greatest possible extent. If a person is not harming someone else by doing something, the government should leave them alone.I love honesty, and I love to learn. I recognize logical fallacies, and I gag when I hear stereotypes. If yu see some stomach acid, that is just my humanity puking out against the ignorance. Oh the ignorance...
