About Me

Cynical. Curious. Happy. A bit naive. Eurobrat. Accused of acting princess-y, but secretly a huge geek. Can speak three languages. Bit of a tomboy - very blokey when it comes to food, football, and relationships. Very girlie otherwise. My life is one part Pride and Prejudice, other part bad American sitcom. I like to sing in the shower. I dance to really sad and crap europop in my PJs. VIVA MX y Espana! J'adore la France aussi - j'etais un etudiant a Angers, et je voudre vivre la. Loved learning English in UK as well, even if ended up with accent nobody in Texas can understand. Was Arsenal supporter but cannot believe that they let Viera go. Now I lean towards Liverpool, since it is practically a Spanish team.

sexgod advert for a good cause.

I'd like to meet:

People that use "your" and "you're" correctly. Mr. Darcy. Vince Vaughn because he is hilarious. Robbie and Cristiano Ronaldo based on sexgod hotness. Thierry Henry based on Frenchie style. Zidane based on talent and Spanish speaking prowess. And you - Hi, there! Do you play football? Where are you from? Classic Paulina chat up linesTM

Who I DON'T want to meet: Emotionally unavailable fuckwits. Boys with dodgy facial hair. Bush voting pick-up truck drivers. Moody and depressed Emo muppets who still think The Cure is relevant, and are into cutting themselves and bad Hot Topic mall fashion. Annoying drunk girls that talk too LOUDLY! in awful TX accents. Annoying drunk fratboys that talk too LOUDLY! in awful TX accents. Attention starved insecure girls. Saddo pervs that want pictures of my feet. People with no sense of sarcasm or humour. Eskimos.

"Handsome Man"Arrogant much? You give the appearance of being a narcistic jackass to most people. And there is something about you that draws people to you like flies. But your need for everyone to love you is brought upon by major self-esteem issues. You think you need all these people to hold you up. The truth is - you don't.
