About Me

I owe Anne(liese) Frank for the only fitting description of myself Iâ€™ve ever foundâ€”â€œlittle bundle of contradictionsâ€. I'm a hopeless idealist yet often quite a bitter cynic. I believe honesty is both my best and worst quality. I can remember random facts from 15 years ago, yet might very well forget your name two minutes after I've learned it. I won't give you my word unless I intend to keep it. I'm glad people are surprised that I was a cheerleader for seven years. I don't know as much music as you think I do. I analyze things to death and I worry way too much. I'm a shamefully picky eater, and probably the only Mexican ever to not like beans. I write longer e-mails than anyone I know and have more "penpals" than I can keep up with. I've been a writer my whole life, but have no idea if I'll ever be an author. Philosophical discussions turn me on. I prefer men with big... vocabularies. I've been known as the Grammar Nazi, and I'd most likely beat you in a spelling bee. At any given time, there are at least 25 books I'd like to read and about 50 bands I'd like to check out but will probably never get around to. Punk rock means a lot to me, but it means nothing to most of my closest friends--and I'm okay with that. My heart is split evenly between Los Angeles, Madrid, London, and Oxford. I think that someone could and should write a fascinating dissertation on the socio-cultural significance of MySpace. Maybe then I could figure out why it's so goddamn addictive.

My Interests

"Somewhere in my soul...there's always rock and roll." --J.S.

I'd like to meet:

People with stories to tell and knowledge to share. People who defy categorization. People who don't think 15 minutes constitutes a long walk. People to make the most of all SoCal has to offer with me, and to help me forget about the fact that I'm not going to have the money to travel again for at least a few more years.

Music:

If the punk police knew how much radio I listen to, they would surely confiscate my studded belt.

Movies:

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard an astonished, "You've never seen [movie title]?!", I'd be a millionaire... But now I've finally seen _Blood In, Blood Out_, so give me a little credit!

Television:

...is highly overrated. Though that's not to say I don't occasionally indulge.

Books:

Reading never got nobody nowhere.

Heroes:

Each and every one of the touchingly earnest young ladies whose life's ambition it is to be the next Pussycat Doll.
