About Me

Myspace Graphics
Myspace LayoutsIn a nutshell: I was born in Viana Do Castelo , Portugal. Came to the States when I was 8. Been in Elizabeth NJ since.In more than a nutshell: I'm outgoing, a little goofy, luv to learn new things & adventurous. What I consider funny is: humans losing control..ie falling/tripping..etc. I'll care but give me some time to laugh. I make coffee just so my studio smells like coffee. I hate when people drive slow on the left lane...Regarless of how fast it is, if i pull up behind you, it's SLOW so move! I love sour cream & onion chips. I can chomp down an entire bag in minutes. I also won't pass up a comfy pair of sweats or jeans and sneakers. I think too much..all the time i'm thinking about something or other. I can't go to a business/restaurant and enjoy it for what it is. I analyze how much the owner must be making/ if I'd go into the business/ the pros and cons and if the staff is under/overpaid. But mistake me not, I can have fun too! give me good friends..or good strangers... and i'm social when I wanna be esp since I love to dance! (that doesn't mean i like clubbing but dancing & clubbing usually come hand-in-hand) I prefer day-time activities from snowboarding (which I should do more of), to going to the beach, to house-hunting. Oh and I am a true true sucker for gadgets. If it's new and electronic, I want it !...............................................I'm an organizational freak! I go out for groceries and come back w/ files and boxes.lol I like photography and art but don't act on it as much as I should. I write poetry, opinions, stories and even though i'm 26, i still keep a journal/write by other means. It helps me stop worrying since it's down on paper. I luv the beach. I really love the beach. Maybe it's the aquarius in me that loves anything water: waterfalls, lakes, rivers..etc. Between reading and buying journals, i can spend an entire day @ Barnes&Nobles. Likes: coffee (i think i'm addicted), sushi (which i recently discovered), a clean apartment, friends i'm comfortable with, relaxing music, my ferret, long drives, beaches, water, airplanes,reading, learning, The Discovery Channel, red and some more things I cant remember right now. Dislikes: People who don't tip the waitor, ultra high gas prices, cold. Things I cant live without: communication, information, my writings, reading. My worst character trait: I lose my temper/patience. Short term goal: Travel. Long term goal: Change my Associates to a Bachelor's degree, open my own busines..again, own much real estate. If I could choose, I’d travel all the time.. and last but not least, Starbucks.lol wanna know more? Just ask :)BUDWEISER FERRET POSES NUDE:

Television:

mmm.... i'll catch what's on when i'm being lazy but i don't really "follow" tv shows. Will & Grace, Everybody luvs Raymond... and Friends reruns are my fave to catch though. Lately added Gray's anatomy to my list. Also, anything that says "World's _____ Videos"... anything on the food network and my new fave 'MIND OF MENCIA'. Also luv to kill an hour or so on comedy once in a while.

Books:

The Lovely Bones, Rich Dad Poor Dad, The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, Advice to a young wife from an old mistress,Little Children,The Lost Continent,Living History: Hillary Rodham Clinton. Currently reading 2 books: 1) "Sex,Lies & Handwritting" & 2)"Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy. PS. If you've read 'anna karenina' let me know because i'd love your input.

Heroes:

My parents are my heroes... (as unlikely as my friends might find that b/c of how much I used to argue w/ them). Things change after you move out. I've actually had lengthy conversations w/ my parents since I moved out and I luv it! My biggest hero however: myself.

"mia culpa" It's all my fault. I'm guilty for the way my life turned out. I'm guilty for what will happen in the future. I'm guilty for the ones I've hurt and I'm guilty for those who have hurt me. S...

Attention all men !!!

Regardless of where us women are going, even if just for 24 hours, we will pack an entire bag of shoes. We want to be prepared for any possible situation. Stop mentioning it. It won't change anythin...

What you do, doesn't define you..and then it does.

Giving birth, doesn't make you a mother. Getting a woman pregnant, doesn't make you a father. Getting a diploma, doesn't make you intelligent. Having sex with many women, doesn't make you a man. Havin...

Apparently, I touched a nerve re: Customer Service !!

I put out a blog that simply stated: "When did "customer service" go out of fashion I'd love to know!!!" and got a bunch of responses... !! Apparently, I'm not the only one that feels this way... .....
