About Me

About me, lets see. My name is Dulcinea Roxanne Rocha. Some people call me Dulcie or Dulce and a few of my family members just call me D. I love my name, I always have. I was named after a character from the play Man of LaMancha. The only thing I don't like about my name is having to pronounce it to people all the time. It can get old. I had a teacher in junior high and high school who still after 5 years of attending school couldn't say my name correctly. But I just laugh to myself and I still love it!! I'm glad my mom was creative with naming me and my sister. I'm 26 years old and currently I am living in Galesburg IL with my fiance Adrian. I'm from St Louis originally. My family moved to Avon, IL in May of 1993 after moving too many times to count. I was finally able to go to a school for longer then a year! I graduated from Avon High School in 1998. I've moved around since then, including living out East for a couple of years but moved back to IL in the fall of 2004 so I could go back to school. After a couple of years of not having all my school things in order, I'm finally going back!! I'm super excited. I have decided to attend Sandburg for awhile to get back in the "swing of things". Adrian and I have been together for over 2 years now.. I can't believe it!!! The time has flown by and it has been great. I love him so much and I can't imagine my life without him. He is so supportive and caring. I'm just amazed sometimes. We've decided that we are going to get married but we don't have any definite plans about that right now. We both have a lot going on and weddings are expensive, so it might be awhile, but thats okay because being with him is just so great! We also just added to our family with the birth of our first child, a daughter, Carys Makenna. She was born on August 29th and she is just perfect!! I can't believe that I'm actually a mom!! Its so surreal sometimes!! She is amazing and I love her so much!!! My best friend is my sister. She is 2 years younger then me and we've always been close. She has 2 beautiful little girls, Jordan who is 5 and Kaelynn who is 2. I love them to death and I'm so lucky that I'm their aunt! My sister lives down by St Louis now so I do miss seeing them more often, but it was a good move for them. And since Adrian and I won't be in Galesburg for the rest of our lives, its not such a bad thing that they don't live here anymore. My other close friends are friends that I've had since the 8th grade. Melissa and Pam. Melissa and I talk a lot during the week and we haven't really lost contact with each other since graduation. Pam and I just re-connected a couple of years ago and it is nice catching up and being friends again. Friends are important. I am kind of quiet, some people think that I'm a snob, but I'm not. I just don't talk a lot, especially around people that I don't know. But when I'm comfortable with someone I can be just as loud and just as goofy as the next person. I love to read. I have a lot of books and whenever I get the chance I read. I also love movies. Adrian and I have a lot of DVDs and we are constantly adding to the collection. I don't really have one favorite movie because I like so many. I also love Coca-Cola stuff, lotion (I have way too many bottles!), teddy bears (my sororities mascot), shoes, and I love clothes but I don't shop a lot because I hate dealing with trying things on and them not fitting! But that part is getting better since I'm starting to lose some weight!! Hooray for me there! I love things to be neat and organized. Since I'm so busy I don't always have the time, but when I do I'm at home cleaning and organizing. Example: all of our DVDs and CDs are alphabetized and I kind of freak out if they aren't. I think I might have a little case of OCD! Adrian and I have 3 cats and 1 dog and our apartment is almost always filled with the sounds of the cats running around and Hayley, our dog, chasing after them. I have 5 tattoos and will probably get more and I have a lot of piercings in my ears as well as my tongue. I'm sure I could go on for some more, but I will just quit for now! girls layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotCommentshref="http://www.myspace.com/okgo"OK Go - "Here It Goes Again" Buy OK Go - Oh No at iTunes.

My Interests


Make your own Banner Here!
I like to read. I love to travel. I've been to a lot of places actually, but the only place outside of the states I've been to is Canada (Vancouver to be exact-a beautiful city). My favorite place is NYC!!! I love that city. It is amazing and I used to live right outside of it. I don't know why I moved back to Illinois!!! I love movies and music. I love going to Best Buy and Circuit City and buying tons of DVDs even though I really shouldn't. I collect Coca Cola things. My apartment's kitchen and dining room are full of the stuff!! I love spending time with my 2 nieces and my sister. She is my best friend. I also like spending time with my other friends when our schedules allow it.

I'd like to meet:

Whoever! New people or old friends from high school. Its been really cool to "run into" some people from high school and catch up on everyones lives. I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe. Such a beauty with so much mystery about her. I also would love to meet Jewel and I would love to meet Angelina Jolie. Hey, someones gotta be on her side!
Which celebrity is your soulmate?

Brad Pitt
You go for all american good looks, a big heart, and an even bigger wallet. You love kids, sexiness, and fighting for good causes. You and Brad are a match made in heaven. Watch out, Angelina!!
How do you compare?

Music:

All kinds, mostly rock. But my all time favorite is Jewel. I think she is amazing. I have all of her CD's. I love her voice and I think she is a wonderful writer. She makes me want to become a singer. Too bad I'm so stricken with stagefright!A few others are Staind, The Killers, Aqualung, Lifehouse, 30 Seconds to Mars, Flyleaf, and so many more! I was introduced to a lot of new music over the last couple of years, some from bands that I had never even heard of. I try to keep an open mind about music because you never know what you will end up liking. Though, I will never like country!

Movies:

I love love love movies. So many great ones, it is hard to pick just a few favorites. Movies are a great way to explore new things. I'm a huge movie buff and I especially enjoy old movies and 80's Brat Pack movies. One of my all time favorites is When Harry Met Sally. I could watch that movie over and over again. Another favorite that never gets old is National Lampoon's Animal House. John Belushi is so funny in that movie and one of my favorites scenes is the mashed potato zit scene in the cafeteria. I laugh everytime I see it.I also love West Side Story, Gone with the Wind, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, just to name a few. Movies that make the viewer think, laugh, cry, and just feel something are great movies. The ones that make you feel and leave you talking about it for days later are the movies that are true greatness.

Television:

I miss Friends! I loved that show so much! I have all the seasons on DVD and a couple of weeks ago I sat down and started watching them again. Got through them pretty quickly and was so sad when I watched the series finale again! I love ER, Rescue Me, and Nip/Tuck. I am a big fan of HBO shows as well, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, Oz, and The Sopranos. Thank goodness for tv shows on DVD though because a few of those are cancelled. Adrian and I also started watching Big Love this past season, the newest HBO show, and we LOVE it!! It is SOOO good. Thank God for OnDemand though or we would miss it every Sunday because of work or some other thing.

Books:

I love to read. I love reading mystery, drama, novels, and I love John Grisham and Anne Rice. Like movies, I like books that make me feel and think. No matter what type of life you live, each time you read a book, you are blessed with a great knowledge!

Heroes:

My hero is my sister.

She is 24 years old and a wonderful mother. She is going to college and is my best friend. Anytime I think my life is tough I remember what she goes through on a daily basis. I love her and feel so blessed that God decided to make her my sister.
