My main interests are art (in all its forms), language, and neuroscience. I am in a constant state of keepin' it real.

I work in San Diego as a linguist developing natural language processing software. I also paint when I have time and inspiration (never), read a ton, and cross-stitch subversively. Other than that I spend a lot of time with family and friends having a good time. :)

Hmmm, being humble?

That I'm laughing, smiling, and swearing at the same time.

1.) Loved ones

2.) Art (painting, film, literature, music, etc....)

3.) Internet

4.) iPod

5.) The word f*ck

6.) Patience

Shit, everything. I don't even know where to begin.

Doing something fun and chill with friends. Dinner? Some drinks? A movie? Something like that.

My sources of shame:

1.) Sometimes I litter out of my car window.

2.) I use bit torrents to pirate media.

I have no personal boundaries, just ask.

You feel like it :)
