About Me
this is me in a figurative nutshell. i study linguistics, chinese, and german at the university of maryland, and i work in the produce section of the nearby, super-groovy takoma food co-op. my education is my absolute priority. i try to find harmony within my mind, body, and soul, and so refrain from using any mind or mood altering substances. i revere all life and truly believe in the aphorism "live and let live." if i was asked to label my current self these words would come to mind: daoist, environmentalist, feminist, runner, student, vegan. i love art, books, languages, nature, people, and philosophy. Janis Joplin is my favorite singer. my favorite poets are T.S. Eliot, John Keats and Taras Shevchenko. i especially love "Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot.
