Witty profiles are not my forte, I'm too direct a person for that, but I enjoy others' witty profiles more than those like mine. I'm a gypsy at heart, which could mean I am either extremely enthusiastic about new places and people or I lack direction. I'm not quite sure. Appreciation of all things in life is a big motivator for me. The two phrases I say most are "I'm up for anything" and "sure, why not?" I'm not the type of person to make plans. Call me when you have the plans and I'll be über excited about going. Ask me what I want to do and I'll probably say "I dunno, I'm up for whatever," albeit in a very enthusiastic manner. I don't look down on other people, and I always find something I appreciate about everyone I meet. That is more difficult with some people, but I have yet to meet a person that doesn't have at least one purely awesome quality. There is good in everything and everyone, sometimes you just have to look hard. I love travel by any means to anywhere. Other interests include: animals, camping, reading, foreign films, studying religion as an anthropological exercise, new experiences, music, movies, history (especially byzantine), thinking, agricultural policy, change, eccentricity, linguistics, useless trivia, bilingual education, volunteering, rainbows in the dark, people, and unpredictability. I am a kind and giving person who helps anyone and everyone. For the most part I am positive and I get along with everyone no matter our differences. I like people who are seekers by nature, searching for knowledge, truth, and experiences. Life's a garden, dig it.

I was a Spanish teacher for 4 years. I loved it, but I need a break before I burn out. At this point in my life I am trying to de-stress, de-clutter, and d(i)e-scover. I'm also about to go to law school as working for an immigration attorney has really got me psyched for law again.

I'm REALLY good at talking a lot, getting distracted, anything involving school (despite the whole getting distracted easily thing), sounding like I know what I'm talking about, and listening (despite my propensity to talk a lot).

Physically - my hair and glasses.
Personality-wise - people say they feel comfortable around me.

Books: Anything by Graham Greene, Chuck Palahniuk, Douglas Adams, and Jack Kerouac.
Poem: Charge of the Light Brigade.
Movies: Ones that give you that odd, isolated, awkward feeling. Ex: Wes Anderson and David Lynch films. I like movies that make you feel strange and new emotions that you don't feel in everyday life. But I also enjoy good, off-the-wall comedies. Favorite movies include Empire of the Sun, Amelie, AmoresPerros, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Southland Tales, The Big Lebowski, MASH, I <3 Huckabee's, LOTR Trilogy, Monty Python's (insert movie title here), Brain Candy, The Secret of Nimh, Shaun of the Dead, Bubba HoTep, Donnie Darko, City of God, Moulin Rouge, Garden State, La Puta y la Ballena, and No Country for Old Men.
TV: My So-Called Life, House, Heroes, Bones, Weeds, True Blood, Scrubs, MASH, MacGyver, Califorication, Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Buffy, Pete & Pete, and Ren & Stimpy.
Music: Mellow semi-indie stuff, 90's alternative rock, classic rock, and anything with string/orchestral accompaniment. My current and historically favorite artists include: The Twilight Singers, LCD Soundsystem, MGMT, Flogging Molly, Postal Service, Social Distortion, Nirvana, The Pixies, Swans, TI, The Killers, Afghan Whigs, Faith No More, Smashing Pumpkins, Alkaline Trio, Pearl Jam, Gutter Twins, and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Food: Mediterranean, Ethiopian, Caribbean, and Italian. I am a vegetarian, but I don't care what you eat, as long as you don't try to preach to me about how animals were put here for our consumption.

In no particular order: family & friends (they are the same to me), intelligent conversation, climate control, music, travel, and books.

Anything and everything. My brain never sleeps. Mostly I think about how things are connected and what patterns exist in life, the universe, and even in the mundane. I enjoy thinking about how the world could be better and what I could do to make that happen. I do have an annoying habit of letting everyone else know what questions pop into my head as I see things. For example, as I walk by the beer isle I often think to myself (and often say aloud) "I wonder who first thought of drinking rotten grain?" I'm not necessarily looking for an answer, though if someone has one, I am stoked.

Going to a concert, looking for something to do, reading a book at a coffee shop, watching movies with friends, driving around for fun, or doing anything else my friends want to do.

I am a dabbler. I have a wide range of general interests, but I'm not so adept at following those interests to fan status. I find something I love, get obsessed for a month or so, learn everything I can about it, and then I find something else I love, rinse, and repeat.

I would be a career student if it paid at all.

I get restless being in one place for more than 2 years. I rearrange my house every 6 months so I feel like I moved.

I was raised a Trekkie.

I love video games, but I am super picky about which ones (anything with Final Fantasy in the title).

Clothes shopping is my least favorite activity.

I am a messy organization freak. My house looks all cluttered, but there really is a system.

I love wearing pin-stripes with polka dots, and I do not see how they clash.

I wear high heels 80-90% of the time because they make my back not hurt.

When I was 18 I decided to get a tattoo. I found this butterfly that I thought was really pretty. Then I decided to get it tattooed on my lower back! It took a few months for me to realize that I had gotten a "tramp stamp". I've decided not to get rid of it or tattoo over it because I like it being there as a symbol of stupidity for when I take myself too seriously. That and I still think it's pretty.

I think I don't understand the definition of the word "most."

I'm here to take quizzes with hetsar and Chenin and to see if my friends and I are compatible, so I'm not really looking for messages.
