ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Jane. I LOVE TO EAT. Other than that, which consumes most of my thought and energy, I enjoy reading books/news/labels/blogs/magazines/disclaimers, watching Danish and Argentinian movies, cooking up Korean chiggaes or Spanish tapas, and dancing dancing dancing to any kind of music. I have a serious case of wanderlust. Traveling allows me to do some of my favorite things- taking film pictures on my lomo lca, meeting people from all walks of life, tasting new treats, sniffing new smells, and seeing the world from a swirling new perspective. I'm an Arabic and International Studies major about to graduate this spring. Currently I'm very involved with the non-profit Our American Generation, UW Model United Nations, and the Svoboda Diary Project. After graduation, I hope to adventure around the Middle East and possibly settle down with a pet camel... or run off to grad school in Denmark.

PHILOSOPHY

“This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.”

Walt Whitman, he's the man.
