Me? I am *the* quintessential Aquarian woman: a dreamer with colorful ideas and a passion for exploration. I'm unapologetically geeky about music and I adore all things related to medicine, sex, health, and women. Might I point out: I don't at all identify as "bisexual" or even "gay", rather, I fully support the idea that sexuality is fluid. That being said, I'm very open to anyone who is open enough to know me.

As for the more technical stuff: I'm a Berkeley graduate with a degree in Ethnic Studies and a concentration in Women and Gender Studies. I'm at the beginning of pursuing the long path toward becoming a physician, and while I'm incredibly anxious about it, nothing fills me with more excitement and joy. You want to know more? Feel free to read on.

Aside from the typical work grind and gearing up for medical school, I am deeply invested in living, loving, and exploring new ideas, foods, places, people, and experiences as fully as possible. What's life, if you're unable to appreciate the texture, rhythm, and the taste of everything the world has to offer? I have a strong appetite for new things. Got something fresh and interesting for me that you're passionate about? Bring it.

...a lot of things. I find that I:
- have an especially sharp ear (and memory) for music
- can maintain a great conversational flow
- can write fairly well in a number of styles
- have a knack for making people feel comfortable
- can recall *random* facts/stories/song and literary lines at will &
- can keep you guessing until you find out for yourself. :)

Who knows? Depends on who you ask, I suppose. Some would say my hair, others might say my eyes or my hands.

And now, for the Pandora's box question (I'll try to keep it short):

Authors:
Audre Lorde, Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chodron, bell hooks, Alice Walker, Gloria Anzaldua, Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Alan Watts, Paulo Coelho, Aldous Huxley, Ntozake Shange, Michel Foucault, Junot Diaz, Lao Tzu, Rumi, Hafiz (the list goes on).

Music: Soul (Classic and New), Electronica, Folk, Funk, Jazz, Trip-Hop, Hip-Hop, House-Soul, Bossa Nova, Samba, New Wave (80's), Mashups, Modern-Classical, International (the list really goes on).

Movies: Anything with rich colors/hues (i.e: Kama Sutra, Frida, Volver), off-beat humor (Amelie, The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy), or mentally stimulating (Adaptation, The Botany of Desire) is a winner in my book. I'm also a sucker for documentaries.

Food: What can I say? It's wonderful. I love international cuisine, such as Indian, Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Spanish, but I also get down with other kinds of cooking. I'll admit to having a weakness for sweet things, especially.

- music
- colorful, passionate people
- fresh air (does anyone know where they bottle this in DC? lol)
- personal space
- laughter
- a thirst for living

Random randomness. Everything. Anything you think about OR are even *thinking* about thinking about, I've already thought about it. Twice. I think.

...usually planning my evening after work. I enjoy winding down with good music, delicious wine, and great company.

Nope. If I admitted it, it wouldn't be private anymore. :-p

Whoever you are, let's connect.
