Things that make me unusually happy: bubble wrap, fireworks, nightly concerts at Café Populart on c/ Huertas in Madrid, simple clean designs, diet cokes, navigating, people who laugh [a lot], the Spanish words pantufla and bicicleta, yo-yo ma, dancing salsa, professors Kent and Jottar, bottles of red wine, clean ears, watered down orange juice, caipirinas, The Shadow of the Wind, secrets. I like cloudy days with low humidity & sleeping in. I’m a world cup fanatic and a politics junkie.

I don't like anything banana flavored and I hate cilantro. I often assume the ambitions of the person with whom I have most recently interacted. I despise the manipulation of certain issues for political gain. In my future lives I hope to be a movie producer, a photographer, a travel magazine editor, and a professional tourist.

I hail from: Palo Alto, Cambridge, Jamaica Plain, Gallup, El Paso, Williamstown, Madrid, Washington DC, Oaxaca, Barcelona & NYC (currently).

I just saw Felicity (Keri Russell) at the Greene Grape in Fort Greene. Are we neighbors? AWESOME!!- lovepuppy:

My first ever celebrity sighting was Keri Russell. I had a layover at O’Hare on my way home from visiting Williams College for admitted students weekend. As I entered the bathroom and peeked around the corner to see how long the line was, she was walking right toward me. I —being a HUGE Felicity fan— was speechless and ran after her. Instantly my maturity level dropped to that of a 5th grader. I remember saying something like, “Hi! OMG you’re Keri Russell. Oh my god, I am the BIGGEST Felicity fan… What happens next season? [someone had been shot? or something] Can I have your autograph?” Then I kind of/may have touched her arm….awkward!!!!!!!

She was really nice and beautiful. While she rejected my request for an autograph, I remember being proud of myself for talking to her. hahaha. About ten minutes later, I was really embarrassed.

I also decided to go to Williams.
