ABOUT ME

I love reading,writing,photography,walking around Berkeley when it is frat-free,beer,used book stores,drinking chai,Cafe Milan... Overall, I am pretty much up for anything...except eating meat as I am 100% vegetarian :) Also, Russian literature is one of my greatest loves---Dostoevsky is a genius!

PHILOSOPHY

I'll have to think of someone inspiring and super cheesy to quote here-- Until then, I want to see as much of the world as possible :D and enjoy the less exciting bits in between, maintaining a Blakean world view rather than a Hardy worldview... With a little less crazy perhaps
