Don't be down when my demeanor tends to disappoint

About Me

Gosh, I hate "describing" myself because I'm so many things at the same time that I go crazy, LOL. Ok, let me see... I think the first thing I should say about me is that I'm a rock chick. I dig that lifestyle, although I don't practise it that much. I'm just a music fan and particulary a fan of rock n' roll, but I like a lot of other genres too. I also love everything regarding the topic: from the music itself to musicians, singers, performers, albums, record labels, concerts, press, lights, the madness, etc- etc-. If I had to represent what I adore in rock music I'd pick a movie: Velvet Goldmine. So since "a picture is worth more than a thousand words", here's Ewan McGregor playing Curt Wild.
Watching him like that gives chills to my bones, I don't know why... I also have a lot of respect and admiration for women in rock. From Janis to Alanis (it rhymes!, lol) there have been a bunch of ass-kicking female musicians. Rock on, girls!!
Well, back to me, I'm working as a journalist in a magazine for young people. Been doing that for 2 years so far. Fortunately, I always get to write about artists, trends and music-related stuff.
Another thing I'm very fond of are computers and technology. I love playing around with Photoshop, making some digital art here and there.
So, umm... I guess that's pretty much who I am. Of course there's much more to me than music and puters but I'm too complicated to explain here and I'd just make a boring mess no one wants to read, hehehe. In case you did read up to here, thank you, have a great day and keep coming back. xD
