Likes: I like exotic food (and to learn how to make it in the original language). I love to make friends from all over the world and to study their culture (and language). I am from a different country myself.

"I went to a summer graduate workshop at Yale University just for fun. I got straight As on all 5 courses. I went to Law school in my country after changing majors several times (after philosophy then engineering then social sciences). I found a flaw on the LSAT test I was studying just for the hell of it. In my opinion true geeks don't need Mensa credentials but we want it anyway.

I'm currently taking a Forensic Anthropology course at a local college just for intellectual stimulation. At work (Data Analyst) people call me wiz. I have 3 computers at home and I'm getting a 4th one soon. I look at google earth. I am an avid Orkut member with more than 400 communities. I'm self-taught in everything from home improvement to biophysics. I learned flash way before everybody else did.

I got a real estate license on my first try without studying for it. I was working for another deparment when suddenly I receive a phone call from my old manager begging for help with something I created 5 months earlier and noboby else could understand how it worked...(it was something very simple trust me but the butt heads didn't get it).

I hacked into my ex-husband's online bank account just to make sure he wasn't lying about not having money."
