About Me


I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!I'm a "Hi!-smile-&-walk fast" sort of person. (If ya don't get it, it's okay!...At least it makes perfect sense to me!) Oh well... Lots of my friends say they thought I was kind of shy at first! That's funny. Guess I can appear somewhat reserved initially, but it's usually because: 1. I'm thinking. 2. Was I supposed to say something?!. 3. You don't know me (wooo-ah-haha). Also, "the more we hear the more we learn," (riiiight...wish I were oh, so wise...!).
Neeways, I was raised on "foreign shores," so I'm a weird mixture of Latin/North American culture, I guess. Portuguese (Brazilian) & English are both my "native" language...and I speak a bit of Spanish too. I was involved in missions for MANY years, and that experience gave me a love & respect for humanity & its diverse cultures. I have also been a home-schooler mom, an ESL (English as a 2nd Language) teacher/private tutor, & have worked a few yrs. as an active performer/vocalist in a band (thus the pics of the band I had in Brazil). Now I'm a music-major student 'cuz I'd like to work in the (commercial/country) music/performance industry. Connecing with an audience through music makes me happy, & I believe that's how God wants me to be (you too, BTW!)!
PS: IF you're sending a friend request, please ALSO include a brief note. Since this is my personal profile (unlike my music profile), I'd like think that you've at least read this much before requesting to add me, and are courteous enough to introduce yourself, etc. - If you haven't, then you're probably not worth the trouble anyhow, Ha!

My Interests

I'm interested in just about anything interesting...! I like: being outdoors, hiking, swimming in waterfalls, horse riding, bike riding, having a barbacue with cold beer or caipirinha on a hot day, laying in the sun in my bikini 'till my skin feels warm & happy, travelling, singing songs like the one that's playin' now at the top of my lungs when I'm driving, performing country music w/ a band, movies that make me cry or laugh 'till I cry, the smell of fresh rain on the ground, doing new things (as long as I don't have to break the law or go against my morals), kissing, sleeping under cozy blankets when it's cold, the sound of waves on the beach, soft sandy beaches as long as i don't get sunburned, the water is warm & clean w/out jellyfish, & it's not too windy. I like hanging out with friends..."The best things in life can't be bought, and are even better when shared." ...Oh, and I like popcorn with hot-sauce.

I'd like to meet:

Simon COW-WELL!!! (And it's NOT because of the "cow" in his name...! I am fascinated by his excellent combination of brutal honesty & plain ol' common sense, his sharp witty/dry sense of humor...and, yeah...his English accent...! )
ALSO, I'd like to meet friends: old & new!!!- Most of all, happy and positive people; people who stand for something.
I'd like to also network and meet people in the music industry, especially country music. Please DO visit my music profile, www.myspace.com/edencarmel , listen to the songs, and "show me sum luv" by adding my music profile to your friends! VALEU!!!(I'll let you figure out what the means...:)

Other syles are great too, it just depends on the moment (for example, I love dancing to latin music,...and any other music that involves dancing in pairs...hehe!). BUT: I absolutely can't stand music sung by ppl who seem to be burning up in flames.
