About Me

I'll try to keep it short. I'm Marisol and was born and raised in the City of Angeles. A lot of people also know me as Grace. You can call me either. I answer to both.
I'm a shy, but rather open person. However that is not to say that I it does take me a while to get used to people for me to open up to them... well sometimes. I suppose that it depends on the situation.(drinks do help me loosen up)
I'm still trying to figure out what type of career I want to pursue. At the moment I'm thinking that I may go into teaching or something along those lines, but we'll see how that plan turns out.
There is still a lot that I'm learning about myself in this life of mine. I have a long way to go before I truly know myself as well as I would like. But that is all a process. That's life. So be it.
::UPDATE::
I recently got married to my wonderful boyfriend of 4 years. It was perfect ceremony like we wanted (short and sweet), and a reception at our local bar. What more could a girl as for?!
He got a new position with his company that relocated us to Toledo, OH. So far I like it here, everyone has been really nice and the city is beautiful.
I do miss my people in Califas, but I will see then again soon. This is a time for growth and life experience. I'm growin' up!

Heroes:

No heroes in particular... but I do quotes:

"Don't buy into society's idea of the perfect sexual body, and do allow your own sexuality and sensuality to thrive inside the body you have."

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
Darwin, On the Origin of Species (first edition, 1859)
