About Me



dance is my passion , my heart and soul music is a closesecond, although they go together when you think about it. i useart, whether visual or aural, as a means of escaping reality. iprocrastinate too much. i have freckles. my hair should be darkbrown and curly, if i left it alone. i love to travel. i am inlove with the idea of being in love. my drink of choice is greygoose on the rocks with a twist. when you see me, do get me one! :o) i am a graf artist. the firstthing i notice about a guy are his eyes. i ♥ fashion. my[true] friends and my family mean the world to me and i will doanything for them. i forgive but i never forget. i believe in art being done for art's sake [and nothing more]. i'm not a mushy person but if i love you, you'll just know it i'm as blunt as it gets. i hate the cold weather. i love pooh bear. it takes a lot for me to get mad. but don't abuse it. i love to gamble. black eyeliner ismy security blanket. i live to eat instead of eatingto live, but that's gotta change soon. stupid people [mostly girls] frustrate me. i loathe chinese food. i love french manicures, buthate french pedicures. i really do not like metrosexuals (too girlyfor me), but i believe that men still need to care about themselves.i love cotton candy. the only flavor of jelly belly jellybeans i caneat is island punch. sleep is not a priority to me, life is. i dig philosophy. i believe in karma. i loathepickles, cucumbers, ginger and bell peppers. i'd pick red wine over white.i hate roses, but i absolutely love calla lilies. i never expect anythingfrom anyone. uncertainty bothers me -- i'd pick security over excitement any day (typical taurus, ey? lol). i am constantly seeking forthings that will not only move me but also have the strength and theability to change me, and i wish to do just that for others. my mindnever sleeps. cooking is a pastime. i miss the 90s. i don'twaste my time or others' by playing games so what you see and get iswhat it is. i joke around a lot. i am easily amused. i am fascinated by pin-up girls from the 40's and 50's --- absolutely love the look!! i cannot sit and watch a movie on tv without switching the channel halfway through, yet i can watch the same movie in its entirety if it were on dvd. oddities. i needcoffee. i love the combination of pink with brown or grey. i tend to start my sentences with "so i + [insert a verb in past tensehere]..." i'm eclectic - you'll never quiteknow what to expect from me. i collect shoes and sneakers i am compulsively late but i hate waiting. i just realized that i have a tendency to just leave the pc on -- all programs running -- even if i've been away for hours or even days. i dance like everybody is watching i cannot tolerate video hoes -- you know, the chicks who are purely "decorational" and have no dancing ability whatsoever. my god, it is the moving equivalent of posing in something ghetto like king magazine. come to think of it, i don't like music videos at all. i think they're just unnecessary and don't do justice to good music. commercial trash needs it, i guess.
i ♥ hip hop, and all its 4 elements
i am who i am, nothing more, nothing less.

::new addiction::

alize rose.
it's the perfect shade of pink i wish my life was.

I'd like to meet:

james franco adrian grenier (for those who don't know, vincent chase on "entourage") johnny depp angelina jolie hef lisa bonet michael jackson pharrell janice dickinson justin timberlake ali g vince vaughn TI the geico gecko flava flav victoria beckham armand van helden amanda lepore !!!
now let's see who else i can run into cross out on this list...
But seriously speaking... i don't wish to meet none of the three F's..

you ask, "what are these three F's?"

let me break it down for y'all...
1) F air weather friends (honestly, these aren't true friends since they won't be there for you in both good times and in bad, like true friends should)


2) F ake people .. i'd much rather that you curse me out than act shady..
3) last but not least, my biggest pet peeve.. F lakes
Now, if you fall under any of these three categories, save me and yourself the trouble and time and don't bother me. i really don't need to deal with anyone who isn't real with me and if you still choose to waste my time...
kick rocks.
oh, and, above all things, i want to meet my male counterpart -- my reflection, the better half to my whole, Like lyrics to the beat, the mate for my soul -- as narcissistic as that may sound. heh. i think i met him but then again, these days, you never know.

made it a little easier for ya'll... type your comment in the box below.

miss martel, you rock my socks! i love you more than life! :o)

i blocked all event invites since nothing worthwhile ever came into my inbox (mostly just the same sh*t i get on the bulletin board everyfuckinday -- enough already, seriously. i obviously never showed up), so yeah, don't bother. thankyouverymuch.
and just another note for all of you, i'm a very agreeable person but there are a few things you must know (or avoid) to stay on my good side (which is pretty much where you want to live).. do not rush me (only a paying job can get me to rush because i rush for NOONE), do not nag me(it will not make a difference -- i will still do as i please and i will only like you less), do not flake out on me last minute without saying a damn thing (and for this expect me not to say a damn thing to you ever) and last but not least, do not whine. "if you don't like something, change it. if you can't change it, change your attitude. don't complain." keep it real, but i didn't have to tell you that.

peace.
