The Picto-Personality Test

You are a person who lives in the moment and is passionate about whatever and whoever you love.

When alone, you appreciate being able to do nothing if you want to, and setting your own pace for things.

You are adventurous, always up to do the most extreme things. You have a certain recklessness that makes people very attracted to you.

In the future you will have a good family life and lots of friends.

I'd like to meet:

anyone that makes life interesting and worth knowing

Music:

I have a very eclectic selection. You will catch me listening to just about anything; indie, folk rock, acoustic, NOLA jazz, 80's punk and new wave, ambient/gothic/ethereal, classic rock... I always have music playing. But definitely no country for me [I'm allergic ;-)]. I like exploring new music, one of the perks of traveling is experiencing the different music styles and genres out there.

Television:

I flipped through the news channels, my feeble attempt to get a "balanced" news report. I do not like commercials so I tape a few shows and watch them commercial free ;-)

Books:

Saturday-Ian McEwan, Atonement-Ian McEwan, Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates-Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All-Tom Robbins, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins...The Crimson Petal and the White-Michael Faber, Infections and Inequalities-Paul Farmer, A Fine Balance-Rohinton Mistry, Anna Karenina-Leo Tosltoy, Iliad-Homer, Odyssey-Homer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez-Love inthe Time of Cholera, John Kennedy Toole-Confederacy of Dunces, Paulo Coelho-The Alchemist..... and so much more to mention. I love to read

Heroes:

My mom, she is the best.

There is this romance between the open road and writing. It seems that I always find my pen and inspiration everytime I travel, specially when I am on my own. I can not help but philisophi...
