I am calm, cool, and collected.
My Self-Summary
some tidbits about myself:
thus far, i've managed to live in many places:
Buenos Aires (where I was
born),
Los
Angeles,
Petropolis,
Rio de Janeiro,
Ann Arbor,
Boston,
San Francisco, and counting
(maybe).
although i’ve
traveled, i still have the
wanderlust bad.
i have a good sense of
humor about myself and the world; and
enjoy intellectual challenges as much as spontaneous
adventures,
silliness, and
whimsy.
i am a combination of
caustic wit,
sarcasm,
intelligence, and inappropriate
(usually loud and funny) outbursts tempered with
thoughtfulness,
kindness, and genuine
interest.
i am fiercely loyal to the people i love.
What I’m doing with my life
spending too much time in front of this here
computer.
after a long hiatus, I am getting back into
yoga.
riding my new old bright yellow
bike with the temperamental gears.
making space to get back to making
art and exploring
writing again.
I’m really good at
A little of this, a little of that:
*making
coffee
*making my friends
laugh
*eating yummy
food
(often
cooked by
people i loved)
*making a
mess
*taking a call at 3 am from friends because they need to
talk something out
*
road
trips
*really enjoying being in
nature despite my being a consummate
city
dweller
*
listening
*picking out the right
cheese and
wine at the market
*making paper boats, origami square balloons, and tinfoil
ballerinas
The first things people usually notice about me
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
recently loved
Interpreter of Maladies
and
Middlesex
(way after the masses have finished with it). just picked up
Francisco Goldman's
The Ordinary Seaman
again--maybe I'll finish it this time.
after a great conversation with a friend, i got the hankering to
see "seven" again (have yet to do that). recently saw the
beautifully devastating
Waltz with Bashir. and i think
i want to grow up to be
Ponyo, except that i don't eat ham.
i listen to practically everything:
hip hop, almost anything from
Latin America, most
rock,
jazz,
indie and
alternative]]
anything, [electronica,
r&b,
soul, the list goes on. No muzak, i'm
afraid.
i'm a
pescatarian, so i love good, fresh
food, provided it only breaths under water and/or sprang from the
soil.
The six things I could never do without
my
bed
coffee
my cell
phone
(although i hate to admit it)
a good
book: both
printed and blank
all the people i love:
friends and
family
adventure (and
the time to devote to it)
not in any particular order.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
culture in all its
forms, how much I hate this economy (especially its impact on
culture and education), how pretty shiny things tend to be,
narrative, how great old hard-cover books smell, and where I'd like
to travel to next...yeah, there's that wanderlust again.
Editors
On a typical Friday night I am
out and about
with
friends
staying home
dancing
eating good
food
avoiding huge crowds
in the middle of the masses
reading a
book
engaged in meaningful
conversations
having superficial
exchanges
cooking
dinner
drinking
scratching my
head
at the
park
taking
photos
going to
movies
critiquing
films
getting out of
town
walking about
aimlessly
going to a
show
finding
trouble
(well, trouble finds me)
drawing
at friends' houses
laughing
uncontrollably
thinking
being
surprised
by people, things, and/or situations
etc...
You know, not all at the same time, but some permutation thereof...
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
i was born without
wisdom teeth.
some say this means that i have no wisdom.
i like to think that this makes me more evolved.
really, it just means that i didn't have to go through the hassle
of getting them removed.
You should message me if
if you are so inclined...
