Hola,
I'm a university senior with a dual-major in
Philosophy and
Classics, of all things. Academically,
I'm interested in
archaeology,
Daoism,
Buddhism,
epistemology,
religion,
language,
ethics,
anthropology,
sociology.
Academia aside, I'm very into visual
arts,
photography,
tattooing, and
piercing. Huge
UFC fan,
football fan - but really, if it's a
sport, I'll watch
it. Much love for
reading,
cooking,
beer,
camping, and
videogames,
travel. Huge
nerd.
Chipping away at the final year of my undergraduate degree. Next
year, working on a second degree in
African Studies. Ideally, I want
to be working in Humanitarian aid, if I ever finish school.
Writing OKCupid profiles. Poetry in motion, comrades!
I tend to get "eyes" a lot. Beyond that, your mileage may vary.
Books: Perennial favorites include
The Catcher in the Rye,
Dune,
Lolita,
Memoirs of a Geisha,
Ishmael,
Foundation series by
Isaac Asimov,
Ender's Game and the rest of the
Ender series by Orson Scott Card. Currently working on the
Wheel of
Time,
Song of Ice and Fire and
Otherland
series. My guilty pleasures are the
Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey,
Anita Blake
series by Laurell K. Hamilton. I'm not proud of myself. Nope.
Movies:
Braveheart,
Gladiator,
The Prestige - historical epics are
glorious.
The
Godfather I & II.
Dawn of the Dead,
Shaun of the
Dead,
28
Days Later. Honestly, if it's schlocky horror, post-apocalypse,
or involves vampires or zombies, I'm all over it.
Music: I can appreciate most genres to one degree or the next. Huge
fan of
hip
hop/
rap,
reggae,
reggaeton,
soul,
soca and
dancehall.

Food: Caribbean, Latin American, Japanese, and Cajun are primo.
Honorable mention goes to Diet Coke, which - while not technically
a food - I drink like water.
TV: Top Chef, Dexter, The Office, Kenny vs. Spenny, True Blood,
Rome, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Real Housewives, Star Trek TNG.
iPod with DJ headphones, Boyshort panties, an internet connection,
eyeliner,

I am a brunette by choice, not birth. Viva la Brunette.
You'd like to kill a little time when you should be doing something
more productive. Shame. Shame on you.
