I run enough mileage to dust any mundane event with sparkly endorphins -- that's why I'm usually jovial and upbeat. Health food stores and open-air fresh produce markets are like candy shoppes to me. Running, swimming or some other form of cardio is usually the highlight of my day. I am a 23 year old athlete (aspiring triathlete!) and a vegan. I often daydream about living in artistic eras (art nouveau! Renaissance!) or great music albums (Rubbersoul!) or movies and books, like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Lick-able wallpaper!) or Anne of Green Gables -- wouldn't everyone's life be grand in a book like that? I spend my days surrounded by children and stacks of books at the New York Public Library and my nights at the pool. I am always thinking about and conjuring up whimsical, unlikely, and preposterous interpretations/versions of reality, and my fanciful imagination is constantly being threatened by boring society. Also, I adore almost any variety of tea and was a founding member of my college's Tea Enthusiasts' Association. I am partial to China green tips and jasmine, though.
Favorite animal: capybara. Favorite food: noodles. Favorite colors: turquoise and green. Favorite combination of colors: green with pink and bright orange with blue. Also, I collect those little evil rubber duckies (the red ones with horns and malicious expressions on their faces) and similar plastic bath toys that squeek.
