ADDING MORE STORIES TO TELL...

About Me

Back home. Wow... back home. I've had the chance to live in France for 3 years and 2 in Okinawa, Japan. I just returned from Okinawa, and let me say, Okinawa will stay in my heart forever. 29 countries traveled. I have officially turned 30, so I missed my deadline for 30 countries before 30. I am trying to pursue a Master's in Humanitarian Action. I give myself 1 year before I head out again.I love Sleater-Kinney, photography, music, singing in the shower, Dead Can Dance, brown is the ultimate best color! I Love shoes, massages,onsens, aggressive driving, skipping. I would also like to thank the little men in green aprons for having Starbucks in India! girls layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments

My Interests

TRAVELING!!! Look at all those white spots that are left to be traveled to. One day.Goodtimes! My family and Guido. Traveling, can you tell? Languages, Music, Photography, Reading, finding my evil twin. Harry Potter, Kite Runner, my computer! I love Science but hate the numbers. I pretend to play the piano and guitar. I Love chocolate chip ice cream, but hate plain vanilla, "Tide" is better than "A-L-L," I prefer VHS over DVD's, cassettes over CD's (but still have tons of them!)I Love Rock, Goth, Industrial, Traze, Dance, World but hate Rap and some Hip Hop. I love going to concerts, goth clubs where I can wear any corsette and red lipstick!I am also very interested in History and Gothic CathedralsThese are some images of some of my favorite all time places. They are all serene, mysterious and beautiful!

I'd like to meet:

No one special.

Music:

Sleater-Kinney, Ani Difranco, The Cure, Joy Division, World, indie, KROQ, 93.1, everything but rap and hip hop. Corrin Tucker has the best vibrato voice from Sleater-Kinney! Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails is just hot! I listen to NIN when I have to drive, to get me aggressive enought to start passing the slow drivers! The Sisters Of Mercy, are by far the best Goth band ever! My first concert ever was this band, and the rocked it down! VNV Nation are just awesome!!! The biggest music collection that I have is Depeche Mode. Robert Smith from The Cure. I started to listen to them since the 6th grade. By far, they are my favorite.

Movies:

Dead Poet's Society, Monsoon Wedding, Bend It Like Beckham, Mansfield Park, anything from Jane Austin, period pieces, war movies, I am not too picky, as long as the camera doesn't move too much.

Television:

Hmmm, at the moment: Top Chef, Army Wives, and House.

Books:

Hmmmm does Lonely Planet count? Seriously, Harry Potter, Kite Runner, Tale of Two Cities, The Zahir, The Time Travelers Wife, Tuesdays with Morrie,The Da Vinci Code, This Is My Life, any autobiographies, dramas and early 20th century medical investigations.

Heroes:

Yo, Yo, Yo my parents'!!!!!! It's that easy and simple!! Here's a picture of when they visited Okinawa. I had the pleasure of taking them to Taiwan and Singapore!
