About Me

I'm half Persian (I speak, read & write Farsi, I'm the real deal!), so naturally I have a few flying carpets & magic lamps lying around...the other half is of mixed European descent...but predominantly American-Irish (no Leprechauns unfortunately, my genie scared them all away)

I'm talkative, pretty curious/inquisitive (I'll ask all sortsa random q's), depending on who I'm around I'm kind of a goofball, I'm somewhat naive about some things but that's not necessarily a bad thing (it's part of my charm...j/k). I LOVE to travel, so it's no surprise to my friends when they find me trying to get a group together for a random weekend trip. I also like going out dancing...and while I've been known to make my way into the VIP sections of NYC clubs when I put my mind to it, I'm perfectly content staying in and watching TV or a movie instead.

Oh & I'm a dj & a rapper...I'm the next Eminem, only better, you can call me Skittlez. Look for my album "Taste The Rainbow, Biaaatch" I'd like to make a shout out to my manager Cas...Candy Store Records, represent! What, don't I look like a rapper?? lol

Likes: animals, meeting new people, dancing, hearing interesting stories from people's lives, making mock profiles on MySpace to mess with my friends, Sudoku (I'm addicted), Friday's Jack Daniel's Burgers, those Geico commercials with the lil lizard, The Twilight Zone episodes (the old Rod Serling ones from the 60's, not the crap new ones they're making), the British pronunciation of the word "Brilliant," and Niederegger Lubeck marzipan (so yum!).

Dislikes: people who flake on plans, spicy foods, when someone says "aks" instead of "ask", and PeOPle WhO LiKE to tYpe LiKE ThIS...honestly, don't you find that obnoxious too?!?

My Interests

TRAVELING!! -- rode horses on the beaches of Bermuda, rode a camel thru the Negev Desert in Israel, took classes at a castle in England that may as well have been Hogwarts lol, partied it up in Mexico, had a run in with the Canadian Mounty, relaxed on a private Island off the coast of Colombia, drank bottles of "Presidente" down in the sunny Dominican Republic -- basically experiencing everything the world has to offer one country at a time.

Talking...sometimes too much for my own good, people watching, meeting new people, dancing, riding horses (although I haven't done that on a regular basis for a few years now), playing pool, exploring places (abandoned houses in Jer-Z, castles in England, & all things in between). I'm pretty much up for anything as long as it's with fun people.

I'd like to meet:

No one in particular really. Just finally decided to jump on the MySpace bandwagon (Note to Cas & Daria: so I switched it up on my profile here, it's not like my Friendster anymore, u happy now??)

Actually, scratch that, I wanna meet Benjamin Bailey so I can get on Cash Cab & make a lil extra $$ on the side. haha

Music:

The Game, Devil's Advocate, Ocean's 11 & some others

My tastes vary these days, from History's Lost and Found to Grey's Anatomy, Flip This House to Cash Cab, How It's Made to Scrubs...you get the idea.

Books:

I've been on a bit of a real estate kick lately so I've been reading all sorts of "how to" books having to do with that.
