Where to begin? Well I'm at the moment a 25 year old latina chick figuring out where I'm plodding along and making sure I'm in the right direction. I come from a a loving if a bit nutty mexican catholic family. A good mix of old school and open-mindedness. I am very much about taking it easy and taking time to smell the roses. I love Tolstoy and Borges, going to museums and plays, eating tamales and sushi, the Indiana Jones trilogy and Monty Python. Just looking for someone to plod along with.

Trying to finish off my degree once and for all. Getting into better shape. Traveling a bit more. Spending more times with friends. All in all in a good place.

Well depends on who you ask. I'm good at reading fo' sho. The delicate art of drunken karaoke. Being a goof when needed. Debating the social issues that may or may not tear apart the fabric of our society.

The Glasses. I take my eyewear rather seriously. A geek needs that right pair of bifocals.

The Girls. I have at times an untamed urge to show them off in a low cut blouse or button up shirt. Sometime I dangle various objects on strings or chains to bring attention to them.

My wit. I have my moments where my sense of humor and intellect come together in a harmonious one liner. It comes and goes.

The silliness. I'm a pretty big goof. I don't take very many things rather seriously.

This is just abbreviated look at what I like.

Books, books oh so many books. I suppose I'll just put the all-time favorites on here. Anna Karina, War and Peace, Pale Fire, Labyrinths, 100 Years of Solitude, The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankenwieler, Rain of Gold, Merchant of Venice, A Midsummers Nights Dream, Inferno, The Brothers Kazmorov, Group Portrait with Lady, In Cold Blood, A Confedrancy Of Dunces, All The Kings Men. There's more but that's all I can come up with at the moment.

Movies, well the ones I love include: Amelie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, This is Spinal Tap, The Motorcycle Diaries, Amores Perros, The Indiana Jones Series, The Royal Tennenbaums, Traffic, Fargo, Clueless, Pan's Labyrinth, Reservoir Dogs, Snatch, The Producers, Grave of the Fireflies, The Seven Samurai, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, Shaun of the Dead. That's off the top of my head.

Music-well I'm open to a lot of things but I sure as hell don't like everything. Justice, Daft Punk, Madonna, Shakira, The Pillows, Johnny Cash, Julieta Venegas, Manu Chau, Yoko Kanno, Elton John, Rancid, Mana, Belanova, Los Tres, Mariachi, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Perez Prado, Queen, Foo Fighters, Rage Against the Machine, The Ramones, The Beatles, The Beastie Boys, David Bowie, Paulina Rubio, Ace Of Base, The Hives. That's a short selection.

Food. All-time favorite: Tamales. I also enjoy Japanese cuisine, pastrami rubens, meatloaf, mint chocolate chip ice cream, peaches, cherrios in ice cold milk, coke out of a glass bottle, hash browns, and a lot of other things.

1. As cheesy as it sounds its true, my family.

2. My books. If I could love something material, that would be it.

3. My Glasses. I'm physically and emotionally dependent on them.

4. My monopoly game. Many a good time had during a monopoly game and a couple of fights too.

5. A comfy pair of shoes. Something that one should never do without.

6. My intellect. It is one of the things I value most about myself.

Varies. I day-dream a lot.

I don't know I don't have a typical Friday night it changes. I'm very laissez- faire with my plans.

That I'm on okcupid.

If you dig what I wrote.
