About Me

i'm an optimistic realist. i'm a simple girl (..please pay no mind to the oxymoron.)

THE BEST FIVE SECONDS OF VIDEO EVER!!!:

One of my favorite commercials:

Your Famous Last Words Will Be:

"So, you're a cannibal."
What Will Your Famous Last Words Be?

My Interests



I love life. It's what you make it, so make it great! I believe in living your life to the fullest, but this "live like you'll die tomorrow?" Be careful with that.
You might end up living for eighty more years.. and that would really suck living all burnt up, because you "enjoyed" your young life playing carelessly with fire. But don't get me wrong - by all means, play with fire, it makes life exciting and worthwhile! Just be careful about it.
Don't just survive, live- but be smart about being stupid, if that makes any sense.

Oh yes, and I'm into art, just about any and every kind, from the art of painting to the art of flamenco and the art of cooking and the art of driving and the art of traveling.
I love to love, those dearest to me, those who I know may not always be there physically by my side but who are going to try their best and do all in their power to be. Those who will always be in my heart, and have me in theirs, no matter the distance in between.

..I should probably put that last section in my "About Me", huh..

ah well....

I'd like to meet:
