About Me

I'm in London now, working on my Master's Degree in Directing Theatre! I like the following things: PIZZA, SHOES, KISSING, POETRY, DRIVING, HUMMUS, TRAVELING, and BOOKS.
You Are Lisa Simpson
A total child prodigy and super genius, you have the mind for world domination.
But you prefer world peace, Buddhism, and tofu dogs.
You will be remembered for: all your academic accomplishments
Your life philosophy: "I refuse to believe that everybody refuses to believe the truth" The Simpsons Personality Test I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Your Hidden Talent
You are both very knowledgeable and creative.
You tend to be full of new ideas and potential - big potential.
Ideas like yours could change the world, if you build them.
As long as you don't stop working on your dreams, you'll get there. What's Your Hidden Talent?
You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.
You Are From Mercury
You are talkative, clever, and knowledgeable - and it shows.
You probably never leave home without your cell phone!
You're witty, expressive, and aware of everything going on around you.
You love learning, playing, and taking in all of what life has to offer.
Be careful not to talk your friends' ears off, and temper your need to know everything. What Planet Are You From?
