About Me

I am me, and no one else... I like shopping in thrift stores and I'm not fussed about labels. I like travelling, or dreaming about it. Movies amaze me. My husband David amazes me. I am fluent in Spanish. I like coffee and cigarettes. I don't drink alcohol but I like beer and whiskey kisses. Drunk people are fun! I have two of the coolest cats on this planet, their names are Indiana Jones and Starla Sweetwater . I adore my family, my mom is my bestfriend. Music changes my mood like a drug. I wish I could ride a horse to work. I think airports are the coolest places on Earth because of the sheer possibilities they offer. I have a phobia of frogs (except Kermit, he's alright). I like to write but I hate re-reading it. I am open-minded and willing to give things a try at least once. I hate mayonnaise, it's gross. I like big bodies of water, especially the Pacific Ocean.

Books:

'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

George Orwell's '1984'

Stephen King's 'The Stand'

'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury

My favorite book of all time (so far) is 'The Stand' by Stephen King. I also like poetry from Edgar Allan Poe and Jim Morrison. I really enjoy Alex Garland, Dr. Seuss, Ray Bradbury (and other sci-fi styled books) and how can I forget the classic bedtime stories? Especially the Grimm Brothers tales, those still manage to make me slip into alternate realities.
