We're all a little weird and life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we can join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness colled love. That's my scenario (not easy for someone like me, but... I don't care. Nobody said it would be easy...)

I like hot latin dances, linguistic research, kids, wine, intellectual conversation, men and city life. (High buildings make you look up, and then you see the sky. Sky is lovely.)

I want to look nice in the eyes of someone special. I want to be attractive and attracted.

I think profoundly and analytically, I like to see big pictures and details the same time. I like to understand my fellow human beings, what they are doing and why, and also myself. I'm quite good in understanding... :) I have lots of empathy towards everything, I don't judge, because I understand. I'm very sensitive and sensual and practical. I know well, what I'm doing and why. I also know why I'm thinking the way I am. That makes me sometimes a little... bored... with people who are just wondering why everything is the way they are. No one hardly can ever say to me something I haven't heard or thought of. If someone will, I will be very delighted.

I also get bored with people who feel superior to others because they read more books, because they don't watch much tv, because they do more sports or because they deny themselves some forms of pleasure.

I get fascinated by people who are highly intellectual and emotional but not arrogant. Who are sensitive and do what they like, not controlled but enlightened. Who know how to think. I mean really think, not just have opinions and arguments.

Thinking, studying, teaching, thinking again, talking, listening, thinking and thinking more. Sitting and listening to music. Drinking coffee and watching people pass by. Thinking some more. Discussing. Dancing every moment I have someone to dance with.

NOT keeping up with the joneses.

Thinking. Understanding. Being with kids.

My pleasant smile :)

People's thoughts, people's ideologies, emotions, relationships, communication.

Growing, learning, teaching, living. People's attitudes. What life is about.

My research topic.

What to wear at the next dancing party.

Dancing at a club or hanging at home with my child.

I don't admit anything. I didn't do it.

you can tell me, how you became the person you are...
