About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Hi. I just moved back to Boston after 7 years of traveling, which is fantastic. It's time to settle down a bit. FAST FACTS: (1) My deepest appreciation in life is to laugh (2) I know a great deal of useless facts and trivia (3) I drink with my pinkie up (4) I support independent and local artists (5) When I was a kid I was always teased about my Dad being Spiderman... You see, my Dad's name is Peter and I have a Great Aunt Mae... So there you have it... I'm Spiderman's daughter (6) I believe in ghosts (7) I really want to fence but it's impossible to find courses (8) I have several goals in life and I intend on completing them all (9) I grew up with a wonderful Colombian family. (10) I get away from everything when I start skip stones in the water and search for 4-leaf clovers (11) My Abuelita went to hear Ernesto "Che" Guevara speak in Colombia (12) I'm a sucker for good manners (13) I believe that magical things can happen
