I am spunky, smart, and hard-working.
My Self-Summary
I'm a graduate student in the humanities -- so I like to read, of
course. My favorite activities include: karaoke, talking to friends
over a glass of wine/beer/sake, traveling, watching a million
episodes of my favorite tv shows on DVD one after the other,
dancing, rock band, seeing live bands, eating chocolate.
Oh and I heart lemons because they are bitter. Apparently the part
of my tongue that is supposed to tell me that I don't like bitter
things didn't develop correctly when I was in the womb (not a
scientific certainty). Hence, I enjoy eating the lemon garnishes
off my cocktails. And subsequently throwing the rinds at performers
I think are lacking in tonal intelligence.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm getting a graduate degree in a field that puts a lot of stock
in pretty things. Some of those pretty things can be called "art."
Therefore, I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at pictures
and thinking about them.
I’m really good at
spelling, organization, cooking/baking, reading body language
The first things people usually notice about me
I look Eastern European (I'm of Czechoslovakian heritage). Next it
is my smile, if you can coax it out of me.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
um.
Black holes. I swear they hold the answers to all of our questions
about the universe. Trouble is, once you get sucked in...
On a typical Friday night I am
talking to my plants to help them grow. No really, I promise you
that at least one of my plants is thriving.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
a lady never reveals her secrets.
You should message me if
you like intellectual conversation with a side dish of silliness,
dark-haired-dark-eyed girls, long walks on the beach in the
freezing rain while naked, and artsy things.
