About Me

A friend once said that I was like a Picasso, I was a jumble of Ideas and emotions that does not seem to make sense at first, but if you look at it as a whole, it all comes together and it makes perfect sense. I guess, I agree with him. I am a little bit of everything rolled into one. I am a woman, a friend, a sister, a teacher, a thespian, an artist, a coach, a daughter, and Maria all into one. ( Believe me, the hardest one is being Maria). I am complicated- many people say, smart, I would like to believe that I have a good head on my shoulders. I am vain - ( oh my favorite sin) I am a hopeless romantic. I am a student of Japanese Culture and Language as well as Arts. I adore tea and . I like quiet times, and good conversations. I also I am, well... a simply complicated me.
I am a spazzy,talkative,chocoholic who loves friends, intellectual and creative stimulation, good debates, feeding my muses, and daydreaming.
I am very opinionated, fashion forward, and blunt to the point where sometimes people think I am a bitch but I am far from it. I care a lot about people and I love people! A LOT! My problem always has been the inability to say NO.
I am a evil to people I hate, I am a sweetheart to those who want me to be. I am who you want to be. I am half an angel. I am truly a master of one thing - being myself and there is nothing else in the world who I would rather be.
Half the world looks at me with Envy-- the other half? WHO CARES?!

When friends say I like you...

Last night, a good friend of mine told me he liked me. It was pretty obvious I guess, but I didn't want to believe him at first until he actually said it out loud. Why? I think because I value h...
