My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I wear many hats figuratively and many more scarves literally. I would rather be mediocre at many things than incredible at a few things (although this often comes back to bite me in my insecure butt). I'd like to think I'm open-minded, and I try to be nice. The world is a beautiful place full of beautiful things and even more beautiful people; any country/city is an opportunity to learn and enjoy things you never thought you would before.

Also, British TV is the best. And if you don't like Tex-Mex food or Indian music (of any variety), I suggest you turn away now.

Happy hunting!
What I’m doing with my life
I'm a graduate student in Anthropology/Political Science. Five days out of the week, I teach (read: make students nervous)/do belly dance and flamenco.
I’m really good at
Learning and singing songs in other languages. Not even learning other languages. Just the songs. And I know what they mean when I sing them.

Also, calling out people who are racist or sexist. Keep this in mind, okc.
The first things people usually notice about me
I’m an empty essay… fill me out!
To quote the Madeline intro song: "She may be very tiny, diminutive, petite, but that has never stopped her from [trying to be] pretty neat!"

After that though, many have commented that I am a lot less girly than they thought I would be. Willingness to default to heteronormative judgments aside, they're probably startled by me talking about poop and making "That's what she said" jokes. Pussies.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Books: Non-fiction (history or social sciences, generally) and comedy. Favorite book ever is "Fierce Pajamas," an anthology of comedy writing from the New Yorker.

Movies/Shows: Make me laugh.

All three of the above can be summed up with the followings: Steve Martin and Woody Allen.

BUT, other favorite comics include: Russell Peters (because duh), Eugene Mirman, Flight of the Conchords, Maria Bamford, Stella, and David Mitchell

Music: I hate the term "World Music." Just because it's the rest of the world to us doesn't mean they don't have genres and styles of their own. That said, I've studied Indian, Javanese, and Middle Eastern music Also, anything with heavy bass makes me super happy. Currently in a wicked Die Antwoord phase that isn't going to go away anytime soon.

Food: All of it. Junk/Expensive. If it's tasty, I like it. Current guiltiest pleasure: Double-fried pork belly from a local Chinese place. But I normally order it with eggplant/broccoli on the side to not hate myself for getting it.
The six things I could never do without
1. Music
2. Dance
3. Car
4. Books (on everything, particularly the social sciences. And anything by James Thurber, S.J. Perelman, Dorothy Parker, or Gerald Durrell)
5. Other cultures (Not quite sure how to phrase this, but I love studying other cultures and people. So...that's now a thing)
6. Winter
I spend a lot of time thinking about
what makes me happy and how I'm going to find it. Right now, that means figuring out how to use my interests to help people.
On a typical Friday night I am
partying it up with friends or going to a sweet live music show. Or, if I didn't plan ahead (which is mostly the case), finding a friend/friends to eat a bunch of crappy food with while we watch Youtube videos and drink something absurdly classy. And so I don't seem too anti-social, there are like a solid seven friends I could do this with pretty regularly.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I’m an empty essay… fill me out!
I'm a rape survivor.

Also, I'm allergic to chickpeas and cats. The hippie dream of being a vegan cat lady is, alas, unachievable. Related: I fill the ensuing voids in my life with dance and bacon.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
a) you don't plan on making some asinine reference to my Indian-ness to try and get me to talk to you. My race is not the only defining feature of my identity, so don't assume it is.

b) (related) you sympathize with my frustration when I wonder why, for the love of god, people say "Namaste" to me in reality or in okcupid messages.

c) you enjoy geeking out about your chosen field of study/work as much as you enjoy a crazy dance party for one: a lot

d) you can spend two weeks traveling around/falling in love with a third-world country without modern amenities/complaining about "cultural shortfalls."

e) also, you are not a creep or a jerk. If you just want to have sex with me, go away.
