I love my tea and a quiet kitchen in the morning and the orange-honey-colored light of late afternoon.

I love music and dancing. I don’t play any instruments myself, but I’ve put ‘learn to play the harmonica’, on my list of things to do before I die.

Why Arn't We Screaming Drunks?
....
Why isn't everyone a screaming drunk?

Hafiz's guess is this:

Any thought that you are better or less
Than another man

Quickly
Breaks the wine
Glass.

Ah, the million-dollar question.
Currently, I am in my second year of a masters program at UC Davis in the Land, Air, Water Resources department, studying and doing research in the Soil and Biogeochemistry graduate group.
I'm interested in wastewater reuse and I'd like to work in agricultural industry and change the way we farm in America (and maybe even the world =) ).

Food - I love everything about it, growing it, cooking it, especially eating it =)
(but I hate grocery shopping)

Teeth, at least six of them.

How I can know myself better/ What I want to do after grad school/ What to buy at the grocery store or farmers market (too many choices, not enough information)!/ Why music moves people the way it does/ Community/ Sibling dynamics/ why my family is so awesome/ How did I come to love running?

Hm - dancing it up in SF or maybe seeing a band play at Sophia's.

I hate it when people chew with their mouth open

You actually read my profile =) - or at least glanced it over!
