About Me

IF I WERE A CARTOON CHARACTER...lol Heres my mini bio:I was born in Brooklyn NYC and live on Staten Island. I am Sicilian from my mothers side & I am Norwegian, Swedish, British, and Irish from my dad's side I work full time at New York Community Bank and I go to graduate school (eternally!) for my master's degree in History at the College of Staten Island. I play guitar and sing as a hobby (but ill probably be trying out for American Idol next August lol)As a child, I was picked on and made fun of for being an oddball and all sorts of things, all the time but I still had lots of friends...At 26, very little has changed . I have more friends than I could ever ask for (or have time for!) and Im still the oddball!. I always try and treat any and everyone as best as I can and how I would like to be treated. As for my personality: I am always hopeful but discontent. Im never really balanced in the middle. I should warn you that I go from 1 side to the other without staying on either side very long. Im all over the place...Im happy, Im sad, up, down, in, out, up in the sky, and down in the depths of the earth. Some word associations I am: ' Pure of heart, Thoughtful, amiable, musical, Often passive, overly analytical, moody, always sympathetic, overly sensitive(im a big baby), conscientious, introspective, idealistic, prone to panic depression and self deprication, often indecisive, philosophical, Democratic, quiet but witty(especially when alcohol is involved), perfectionist, low-key, patient, supportive, detail conscious, orderly, organized, peace-seeking!'I have the imagination and naievete of a 7 year old. I am like a big child lol I eat sleep and drink music-- Any free time I have I try to listen to any of my 1500 cds or go to a show. I love Early rock n roll/rockabilly/early country music, Britpop,Glam Rock, Punk/Alternative , & especially I cant live without 50s and 60s Soul/Stax/Motown!!---Being a History major, I like everything just a little out of date-I guess--i love old-cars, music, books,movies,sports figures-you name it-- I guess You cant escape history, it's all around you AND I just havent quite caught up with it yet.------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------
