Things that are underrated and thoroughly enjoyable:
- toast
- making out
- awkwardness
- pickled tomatoes
- eating berry preserves by the spoonful
- hanging your own art up in your bedroom
- squealing like a schoolgirl when you're excited
- hoodies
- staring at clouds
- doing homework because you love it
- ...which leads me to - being a nerd
- cheese sticks
- the smell of humus (mature compost)
- cactus gardens
...and the list goes on! This is just a taste ;)

Gratitude Writing
Today's five:
1. Lunch, then nap in the sun on the lawn outside the gym building.
2. Meeting Costica, my new freshman Albanian friend, at the picnic table outside the student center.
3. Buying some incredible-looking, antibiotic- and hormone-free steak tips at the local butcher.
4. Hummus on celery, mmm!
5. Meeting Debbie...my new sounding board.

Requisitos - Requirements
A friend and I were chatting over email tonight and he joked that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. For him, the way to his heart is through love, sex and food. I thought, "How wonderful and simple...and easy!"
Of course, I am not that simple. So here are some of the things that come to mind when I think about finding my life partner. There are probably a few more things that I've momentarily forgotten, but they might not be as important as these. Enjoy!
When it comes to finding a partner, I have a lot of requirements, because I am NOT an idle person. He must be intelligent, willing to have academic discussions/debates (and a good science background helps b/c I am a TOTAL BIO NERD). He should love the outdoors, love camping/hiking/rock climbing/running/water sports/SPONTANEITY, etc. or at least be gung-ho to try them, and do them well...I don't do well with wimps. Rhythm is important for many reasons - I'd like someone who can dance, because it is a big part of my life...though if he's not the best dancer and isn't afraid to get down, SOBER, then I will love him even more! With that, comes love of music, art and culture...all important things. Sexy is good, hairy chest, nice pecs, I prefer darker features (hence my obsession with Latino culture), though there are many good looking blondies and reds out there. Oh, and I love a good butt :) Last but not least, HE MUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIS FAMILY AND HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. Family is #1 in my book, because without them, I am nothing.
Okay, enough for now...you already know too much!
......I was just reminded that I forgot to mention "witty and a good cook" (thanks Bill!)...and of course willing to share chores, keep a garden, have house pets, make babies, blah blah blah. Again, you know too much! :)
