about me
my apartment is filling up with guitars, which i play:
a mellow little gibson from the 60s (acoustic), a
fender stratocaster (electric), and a new buttery
smooth takamine (acoustic-electric).
i study computer science, a path i started while laid
up with a ski injury three years ago. right now i'm
working toward a certificate in software engineering.
a group of us
who've taken some classes together call ourselves the
javagrrls (even though we don't all take java now,
and the group is mixed). i value this community,
especially among others who are figuring out how to
weave their ambitions in and out of very full days.
i love to cook. i think that care in the preparation
of your meals adds to the nourishment you receive from
them. it is like giving yourself the present of
something that was made by hand just for you. special.
the colors and aromas of fresh ingredients are a
soothing retreat, and sometimes while cooking i
forget about everything else.
oh and i swim. early in the morning. i wake up at
six and head to the pool. this is my favorite way to
start the day, especially since my friend becca meets
me there and we encourage each other, swim hard, and
talk about life. then after a long warm shower i
start the day feeling fresh and strong.
i am in love with a wondeful being named
matt, who
makes it much easier to concentrate on the good and
positive things and to let go of the rest.
my best qualities are that i am smart, goodhearted,
and resilient. my worst qualities are that i am
feisty and clumsy. though sometimes clumsy ends up
being charming.
i look forward to life's upcoming adventures.
