I'm down-to-earth, purposeful and fun-loving. I enjoy volleyball, bike rides, running and CrossFit. I am getting my masters and when I'm not doing school-related activities I spend time with friends, family and my dog. I enjoy cooking, reading, being outdoors, eating tasty vegan meals, staying active, listening to music, couch surfing... whatever feels good and right at the time. I'm loving life and enjoy sharing it with others.

I'm back in school and fully enjoying the student lifestyle after a few years in an industry I just wasn't connecting with. I'm (hopefully) setting myself up for happiness and success and having a great time in the process.

Staying humble.

My height. Apparently the average US woman is 5'3", that means I have almost 10" on those bitches! (Not to mention almost 3" on the average dude.)
My ethnic ambiguity. I love to hear people guess what they think I am.

I have a tendency to start a lot of books and not finish them, but some great recent reads and all time faves are Reflections on the Art of Living, The Rum Diary, The Little Prince, The Stranger, A Game of Thrones, Pillars of the Earth, Love in the Time of Cholera...

As with books, there are too many great movies to even come close to listing most, so just a few are The Big Lebowski, Tommy Boy, Shawshank Redemption, Babe, Spirited Away, Pulp Fiction, 12 Angry Men, American History X, Up, Gran Torino, Stand By Me, Casino...

Same story with music, here's some: Zep, Clapton, Stones, Dylan, SRV, Lynrd Skynrd, Etta, Billie, Louis, Otis, Al, Sam, Marvin, Brother Ali, The Roots, Murs, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Madvillain, G Love & Special Sauce, Jack Johnson, Brett Dennen, D. Frankenreiter, B. Harper...

I love almost any vegan food.

coffee
tofu
exercise
bra
chapstick
self respect

There is no "typical" Friday night for me. Cooking at home, maybe with friends, resting for a weekend volleyball tournament, studying/doing homework, chillen with my dog... whatever.

You would like to chat. My life is fairly fulfilled and complete, but it would be nice to meet someone who could complement (not complete) me and add that certain je ne sais quoi.
I am open to most things, but if you are into hunting, drama, clubbing, daily fast food, hating on cops, not saying "thank you" to people who hold the door open for you, one-night-stands or being rude to waiters/waitresses (just to name a few) it probably wouldn't go anywhere. However, if you are into (or are open to) farmers markets, hiking/volleyball/running/crossfit, snowboarding, vegan food, being kind, family, dive bars, low-key evenings, terrible karaoke, animals, after-dinner walks, self-deprecating humor, always rooting for the underdog and independent thought (among other things), hit me up!
