About Me


Get your own glitter and more at BlingyBlob.com
I have plenty to say, but often don't know where to begin. I'll start with the fact that it seems I have become a perpetual student. I would give almost anything to get it over with once and for all.I've been living continuously in Florida since 1999 and it's been interesting to say the least. Nothing ever compares to Panama, but it's the next best thing.I have had this MySpace account for almost a year, but it wasn't until very recently that I realized how valuable it could be to reconnect with people I haven't seen or heard from in years. I'm proud to say that I am personally acquainted with everyone on my friends list. :) I truly hope to find a lot of familiar faces here and get a chance to catch up with everyone I find.Big Hugs and Warmest Regards to Everyone!

What Classic Movie Are You?

My Interests



I love traveling, cooking, reading, laughing and my friends. Oh yeah, and coffee. Love the stuff.
However, something I love, which nobody knows about me (until now) because I'm too embarassed to admit it is singing. I'm a fantastic shower / traffic jam singer... at least I think so. :) I enjoy opportunities for performances, theatrics, and public speaking. I also love to write. I love getting a brand new notebook and trying to figure out what I will fill the pages with.
I want to learn to tango, belly dance and flamenco. I'd like to speak Italian and Portuguese in addition to the other 3 languages I speak. I used to play the organ, but the piano is what really gets me going. I want to learn to play the piano and would love to learn to play guitar as an added bonus. My life's dream would be to represent this country as an ambassador and share America with the world because it truly is a great place to be.
So as you can all see, I don't aspire to anything too ambitious... :)

I'd like to meet:


Myspace Layouts

Music:

I like all kinds of stuff. I'll listen to just about anything, probably with the exception of country.. I'm not a big fan. Like many people, I like music that's easy to dance to and has a catchy tune, but what I like most is music with lyrics that tell stories or have a powerful message. Those are the songs that I'll listen to over and over again.

Movies:

There are movies that although I've seen them 12 times, I still can't move away from the tv if they're played... for me some examples are: Dirty Dancing, Goonies, You've Got Mail, Forrest Gump, Ground Hog Day, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Back to the Future, Silence of the Lambs, The Matrix, Bridget Jones' Diary... and so many more

Television:

The Apprentice, My Name is Earl, House, The Travel Channel (when they're not showing poker)

Books:

Conversations With God 1,2,&3; The DaVinci Code; The Four Agreements; The Power of Now; Rich Dad Poor Dad

Heroes:

People who do whatever it takes to make a positive difference for others. Whether they raised funds for the humane society, volunteer at their local schools, or donate oodles of cash to international organizations... you're all amazing.Save The World - One Click At A Time!
