A peek into me: I love love love the beach. I love it in winter, summer, day, night, everything in between, and any combination thereof. I love talking on the phone! Critical and often dangerous obsessions include: ispiring quotes, white computer paper, Post-It notes, talking on the phone, my pillow. Paris, Amsterdam, Sweden, NYC, Claifornia, St. Johns (and for that matter anything that involves traveling), good manners, the #3, imagination, dreaming, and wishing. Cookie dough, vanilla fudge ice cream, Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream, my grandmother's chocolate moose, cheese, and “surullitos de maiz” and “arañitas.” The smell coming from the kitchen when my grandmother cooks, the smell of clean clothing, the smell of cookies in the oven, the smell of the beach, the smell of plastic umbrellas (jaja). Charisma, inside jokes, laughing till u start to cry, dancing to all types of music, and singing along even though u know ur not exactly in tune. Distinct memories attached to songs, long talks about nothing, good conversations and good debates about something. Gentlemen, gum, accents, daydreams, the irony of Puerto Rican politics, massages, Paul Mitchell shampoo, shoes! Speeding in Boston whalers, the little smoke that breathing makes when it's cold. Smiles, dancing late @ night with all my heart, macadamia nut cookies, hot chocolate in cold weather, tan lines, clean boats. I love the rush in my heart when your about to jump into a pool in a competition. I love multiple choice questionnaires, unexpected complements, and while we're in the subject right about any complement especially from certain people. I love having long conversations with people you thought you never would. I love hanging out with my friends and partying all night. I hate bad breaths, anyone who tells me I can't do something! I hate boredom, loneliness, stress, humidity, babies crying, McDonalds, rats, bees, snakes, and Chiwawas. I hate it when windshield wipers are going too fast when the intensity of the rain is less, inefficiency, incompetence, arrogance, superiority, plane food. While we are at it, I also hate waking up too late and feeling bla for the rest of the day.
