I am effervescent, resilient, and a bit dry-humored.
My Self-Summary
I was born in the Azorean islands but have lived in the US for most
of my life. I enjoy spending time outdoors and find the beauty in
nature mesmerizing. I enjoy taking pictures of nature, although I
am far from professional. I hope to have a garden where I can plant
herbs I can later use to create tasty dishes.
Watching independent and foreigns films is a favorite pastime. I
enjoy reading but often find myself listening to audio books or
listening to public radio, especially when I travel to visit
friends.
I'm not very conventional, nor am I materialistic. I have
experienced enough to know that a life of simplicity is the goal
for the future.
I also look forward to meeting someone to could continue to explore
this wondrous world.
What I’m doing with my life
Living it to the best of my ability. Continuously trying to
understand why people do what they do, and that includes me.
I’m really good at
1. boiling water
2. matching socks
3. sleeping for 8 hours or more
4. snuggling
5. and so much more
The first things people usually notice about me
Not sure. Have never asked.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
My taste in these areas is a bit eclectic.
Books: recent reads include, The Road, The Life of Pi, Middlesex,
The Geography of Bliss, and Tongue Fu.
Movies:old classics like, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Dr. Zhivago, to
name a few. Lots of international films like, Cinema Paradiso, It's
a Beautiful Life, Il Postino, and many more. I also enjoy some
romantic comedies, dramas, biographies, documentaries and
independent films.
Music: various artists like, Caetano Veloso, Louis Armstrong, Ella
Fitzgerald, Dredge, The Postal Service, and just about anything
from the Putamayo World Music Series. Not particularly fond of
country or rap.
Food: again here my tastes are varied. I love Mexican, Thai,
Indian, Portuguese, and Italian. I enjoy eating healthy dishes and
was even a vegetarian for a couple of years.
The six things I could never do without
I'm quite adaptable and therefore not sure how to answer this one.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
This wacky world we live in and how to reduce my carbon
footprint.
Human behavior and how to improve my interpersonal communication
skills.
Movies and how their messages impact my psyche.
On a typical Friday night I am
Wishing it were not typical. :)
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I am somewhat nerdy and really OK with it.
You should message me if
I have peeked an interest.
