Don't take life so serious, son. It ain't no-how permanent.
-Pogo, by Walt Kelly

We're all different people every day. I am deeply affected by people and places around me - one of the reasons I love to travel!

Most consistently:
I'm vegetarian, but otherwise up for any food experience.
I don't smoke (anything), but I don't care or mind if you do.
I love to play games and to debate.
I WILL spend hours with your pets.
I'm up for a loud, late night and down for a quiet, soulful discussion.
I love trees and walking barefoot.
I tend to overthink, but try not to let it hinder me or others.

I believe in honesty and compassion above most anything else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently, because I'm about to wander through Europe with one of my best friends (and current roommate) Anisa - https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/anisa-hosseinnezhad

Generally, because I think it's a wonderful idea and a fantastic community! I look forward to hosting people in Boston when I get back.

Interests

I'm surprisingly into webcomics - currently following 17, with 37 either finished or on the back burner.

I am committed to feminism and social justice.

I love to critically analyze film and television series.

The NYT crossword puzzle!

I'm reallllllllly into my cat, Loki.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I live for smaller joys.
I've done some pretty cool stuff, but I'm hard-pressed to find one most-amazing thing . . . perhaps because I associate the word "amazing" with this perfect loveliness:

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any–lifted from the no
of all nothing–human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

-E. E. Cummings (http://faculty.gvsu.edu/websterm/cummings/caps.htm)
