I enjoy swimming and yoga. I love reading and writing. Literature fascinates me. My favorite color is green and my favorite food is chocolate. I have lived in 8 different houses in my life, in a total of 3 different states plus Washington D.C. I hope to one day cure cancer. Last summer I found I had a benign tumor in my big toe and I had it removed. And when I am married, I will travel the world.
