N/A

I am a 29 year-old white American of Celto-Slavic origin (my father was Scottish-Irish; my mother is Polish-German). My boyfriend Ayush is Indian. My interests include cultural anthropology, foreign languages, and race relations. If you have a problem with homosexuality or multi-culturalism, perhaps you should move on. Racism, heterocentrism, and all social injustice infuriate me.

I define myself in terms of my passions, a mix of barely-controlled chaos. Even when I appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. My perspective tends to be characteristically unique: I see the black-and-white picture in white-and-black.

I have the conviction that although life may throw adversity in your direction, you are defined by how you choose to react. Your destiny lies before you. Choose wisely.

*Anyone who reads this profile. I assume there is something interesting about you with which I may connect. (Otherwise, why would you be looking at my profile?)

*Anyone who speaks Spanish, Hindi/Urdu, ASL (American Sign Language), Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Latin, and Greek.

*Anyone from my past. (Except some ex-boyfriends and ex-roommates.)

Eligibility: You must treat me and those whom I love respectfully -- this is the only criterion by which I judge others. Treat me without respect, and I will not even give you a show of civility; I will not be fake.

BONUS! My boyfriend Ayush is very cute, smarter than me -- I admit it -- just as passionate, and sometimes just as annoying. We work well together, so I am looking only for friends. But if you want to have a three-way, that's another story . . . LOL!
