About Me

************************************************************ *************Go to http://www.babycrowd.com/jr/online/baby_velasquez/ for updates on the person growing inside me!!************************************************hmm...wh at can I say about myself?? I find myself thinking too hard about this kind of stuff. I want to come off really cool and witty and shit, but I usually end up sounding really rehearsed. Umm..ok...here goes...I'm a 20-something year old woman. I love my boyfriend and my dog. I'm originally from a small town in North Dakota. I fell a little behind in life and I'm currently trying to catch up. I'm a feminist. Yes that's right folks, I said it, a feminist. One of my biggest dreams is to start a non-profit organization to help empower young women to become what I call "positively powerful". When I grow up I want to be a cool old lady, with lots of cool stories that my grandchildren want to hear over and over again. I have an overwhelming urge to be a mother and a helper. I am my happiest when I've lost myself dancing on a crowded dancefloor. I'm at my saddest when I'm left alone to think for too long. I miss my friends and family back home so much. I really, really want to meet Oprah Winfrey and Anderson Cooper. People who give and truly care about people inspire me. Self-centered and materialistic people make me sad. I'm just me...like it or look away. Thanks ;)

My Interests

Ohh...music is a huge interest!! I don't know what I'd do without it. I also like trying new things. I have a huge interest in my boyfriend as well.

I'd like to meet:

People from back home, people who can support me in my sobriety, new people to hang out with here. If you wanna talk, just talk. I'll listen!!!

Music:

My favorite song is Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. My favorite band is Bad Religion. My favorite type of music would have to be female singer/songwriters. (Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos, Jewel etc) I also think there is no better love song than a country/western love song. I love to listen to the drums of a metal band. I also love anything I can dance to. Techno, poppy dance music, R&B and Rap. I'm a "Music Mutt"!

Movies:

May seem silly, but my two all time favorite movies are Look Who's Talking and Look Who's Talking Too! I have a weakness for babies! Too cute!!!

Television:

I love Real World, Road Rules and (you guessed it) the Real World, Road Rules challenges! I also love the show Starting Over. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I watch Days of our Lives and Passions, but I do. I'm also a Dr. Phil addict! I never used to watch this much TV, but now I only have ONE job.

Books:

I really like non-fiction books. I really don't get into fiction at all. I like anything that may apply to me or that I can relate to. I also like to read personal memoirs. I'm a geek I know...but it's ok.

Heroes:

Oprah Winfrey and Iyanla Vanzant amaze me. Their strength, love and courage inspire me in all that I do. I am very inspired by people who overcome odds that are against them. People who emerge from really hard times, a better stronger person.
