failure is succeeding at something that doesn't matter

About Me

i’m a nerd. my room is an organized mess. i don't tan, i burn. i'm picky about quality. i look just like my dad. i love foreign films. i've never broken a bone. i love redheads. i hate metal. i have two last names.
i tend to forget my own phone number. i think portuguese is the sexiest language ever. i don't believe labels fit anyone. i think baby feet are the absolute most precious thing on this earth. i have no upper-body strength whatsoever. i'm extremely passionate about the things i love. i make a mean ceasar salad from scratch. i don't own a single piece of underwear that isn't victoria's secret. i need about 8 hours of sleep to function properly. i love learning myself through conversation. i'm a self-taught web designer. i don't think you can solve violence with violence. i would love to visit new zealand someday. i'm not a big drinker. i know a great deal of useless information. i'm a number four on the kinsey scale. i've met a lot of my favorite artists and entertainers. i believe in karma. i hate vegetables. i can be really quiet. i named both of my sisters. i love to travel. i'm addicted to pepsi. i have a teeth fetish. i love broadway musicals. i have one tattoo. i want to raise a family someday. i have a couple of really annoying ticks. i'm writing a screenplay. i miss new orleans. i was a baby model. i'm puerto rican. my first language is spanish. i grew up next door to a baseball MVP. i hate salt water. i was a catholic school girl until my freshmen year in high school. my grandparents are professional bowlers. i love my family.
music heals my everything. dimples make me melt. my favorite color is sky blue. i daydream a lot. intelligence turns me on. i want to learn how to play the drums before i die. i never learned how to drive. death scares me. i don't like the dark. failure is my biggest fear. i think too much. i'm truly blessed. i love god.
i recognize my faults, but i'm reluctant to admit them. i have faith in myself, but can be really insecure sometimes. i'm a workaholic when it comes to the things i love, but extremely lazy when it comes to the things i don't. i was a member of the san juan's choir of children, but couldn’t sing if my life depended on it. i love reading, but rarely find the time to. i love my friends, but feel really anti-social at times. i love new york, but i hate cold weather. i like to have faith in people, but i don't trust most. i avoid confrontation, but i pick on the people i like. i love vampire movies, but the sight of real blood makes me lightheaded. i'm not a morning person, but i'd take a sunrise over a sunset any day.
i'm a huge dork. i've attended two comic book conventions. i can only sing along to the tiny toons and fresh prince of bel-air theme songs if they're in spanish. i know the choreography to micheal jackson’s thriller. i’ve stood in line for hours to watch a star wars movie. i co-hosted a christian TV show when i was sixteen. i've seen RENT on broadway so many times that a cast member knows me by name. i developed stage fright late in life. i was an embarrassingly huge tiffani-amber thiessen fan growing up. i've auditioned for three MTV reality shows. i was on the drill team in high school. i'd go straight for mos def, justin timberlake, or jake gyllenhaal. my accent comes out when i drink.
if i can steal 5 minutes of your time, check out my latest student film!
