I am an opera singer in training, and I'm on the edge of not being in training anymore. It's getting time to start the career. That occupies a lot of my thoughts these days. I'm also an avid reader, and I like to skip around in all kinds of subject areas. I just added physics to the list, which is something that I've had a secret fascination with for years. A book has come across my path that said, "Buy me!" So I did. It's been really cool thus far except for the fact that he totally misquoted Shakespeare with one of the most famous quotes ever. Just for the record, Romeo does NOT say "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Juliet says that. I also just happen to be directing a scene from the opera "Romeo et Juliette" this semester. Lovely little coincidence. The book, by the way is "The Lightness of Being" by Frank Wilczek. Brilliant physicist, but limited in his knowledge of Shakespeare.
I also enjoy Argentine Tango, and I miss being in a place where I can go dancing. I'm constantly making new friends, it seems. I enjoy connecting with people and I love stimulating conversation. I'm definitely someone who has no qualms about discussing politics and religion. In fact, I welcome it. Small talk is not my forte. Philosophers and deep thinkers are always welcome at my table, and anyone who can make me laugh (which isn't very hard to do).
