Zahra

We are all a part of one race-the human race.

About Me

I really like sitting in front of the heater...or a fire place; it makes me fall fast asleep. Partying doesn't interest me, although I do love socializing. My favorite thing to listen to is Cocteau Twins. I don't like it when people talk during movies, and I dislike televison. I enjoy my solitude. I drink tea after every meal. I like driving through giant puddles in golf carts. Also, more than anything, I loooove laughing...
