2. "sueño (dream: eve before adam)" by alfredo arreguin. click on the links below the painting to see the amazing details.
3. anything mocha-flavored
4. my cousins
5. good mexican food. i mean, GOOD mexican food. i don't like peas or carrots in my spanish rice, i prefer black beans over pinto, i like my corn tortillas capable of rolling without cracking, my horchata super cinnamony, and my tres leches oozing. y toda la comida picante, por supuesto.
6. good chinese food. chinatown style, no forks allowed. pan fried noodles, mmm.
7. good indian food. seekh kabob, chicken biryani, spinach pakora, aloo pouri, meatballs, piping hot naan, and kheer with the perfect consistency so as to not drip off your spoon.
8. kissing. i think too many guys go overboard with the tongue thing, "harpoon-style" as a friend said not too long ago. otherwise... slow, frantic, eyes open or closed, in the dark or in broad daylight, alone or in a crowd, on the mouth or elsewhere, expected or not, kissing is grrrreat.
9. eye makeup, nail polish & lip gloss. my girly guilty pleasures. i don't blow dry my hair or own a lot of perfume, but i do indulge in a wide assortment of the aforementioned accoutrements.
10. alliteration =P
11. orchids. otherwise flowers bore me.
12. my kitties, they make living alone bearable
13. music. no details necessary.
14. the floral designs found in mughal art & architecture
