About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Blue starburst - Image Hosting

I was born and raised in Chicago. Been here all my life and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. I quit my law firm job in September 2006 to work in my church and in my neighborhood, (La Villita) doing community development, volunteer and mentorship programs and in a after school program called La Semilla.So about me, I HATE summer, can't stand hot humid days, it gives me migraines. I LOVE winter, wearing scarfs and hats, drinking hot chocolate, rainy cloudy days (as long as I'm inside and not waiting for the bus!). I LOVE to read. I can spend hours and hours reading. I love the Lord of the Ring movies. I've seen all 3 back to back, more then 3 times (and will probably watch them again back to back this year).

My Interests

Learning different languages (I WILL learn Korean). I want to travel and do short term mission trips.

Movies:

Lord of the Rings, I, II and III, Back to the Future I and II, Matrix Trilogy, Gladiator, Braveheart, any Will Ferrell movie, Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon, The Last Samurai and any movies with battle scenes, especially with swords or people flying around with swords.
