About Me

I'm now 23 years old and there are days when I feel 90 and 12 in the same afternoon! I am TALL 5'9 1/2 exactly. My virgin hair is dirty blonde. Over a year ago I made the big move to Toronto from my hometown on Windsor, Ontario!!!
Soooo what else can I tell you??I am a very silly kind-of girl, friendly, honest, sarcastic, SENSITIVE to criticism and imaginative. I love to play beach volleyball....and recently kicking butt at tennis matches! I love to read....magazines...and sadly I am addicted to celebrity dirt. (I can't help it, it must be a media thing! I love writing poetry & reading quotes, lyrics...I love to draw & paint...but lost this somehow growing up.
I love all kinds of music....U2, Coldplay, Gwen Stefani, Jessica Simpson, James Blunt, Dixie Chicks (Cowboy Take Me Away!- Dedicated to Miss Crixy Stina!), Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkston, Madonna (old school), Stachursky, Anita Lipnicka (Polish singer), YES I am Polish. I was born in Canada but I love that country and miss my family every single day. I love to travel and explore...I've been to Europe several times...Poland, Italy, France, Germany, Austria...I hope to make it to Greece to visit a longtime best friend! The Cities I love: Amalfi, Italy (you gotta go!), Montreal Canada (what happens in Montreal is because of my well...dress!), St. Petersburg, FL, Detriot MI.
I LOVEEEEE shopping- more than the average girl. so much in fact that I want to open my own store eventually if this advertising industry wears me down! visit www.forever21.com to check out what I dress like ;) I want to design my own clothes- I'll call it Phoenix after my lower side back tattoo. My name means "born again" so put those two together will ya. I love change and excitement, and spontaneous moments. Career wise I'm in the advertising industry & I work in Media. I'm on the broadcast buying side.
I took advertising for 3 years in Windsor-and had no clue what I wanted to do up until Internship in this big sexy city of Toronto! Toronto is where I call home now (strangely enough) I love my condo, and I really want a puppy dammit! (off track lol)I am a godmother- to the cutest boy in the world Michalek! I am a non-practicing roman catholic, but you may spot me in church with my mommie once in a while... I love my parents, they help build me to the person I am today. My Mom mom put up with a lot of my $hit while I was trying to figure out who I was. I have grown up a lot in the past 5 years. I do not regret anything. Life is meant to be lived and valued, not reprimanded.Here are some words I live by at the moment: I think in life you must learn to trust youself more than you do others. You can't get mad at what people do, that's just who they are- Just realize you can keep them in your life or yo can let them go. Some people you automatically feel comfortable around and others make you feel uneasy- this is for a reason. Be true to who you are and you will never feel lost.I could go on forever. But most of all I love my hubby Toe Knee!So now tell me about you.

I don't think I care to meet a celebrity. Maybe Jessica Simpson because she cracks me up because she is so blunt like me :)
Other than that family is always first. You'll realize this when all yours are 10million miles away.
