Be careful what you wish for, 'cause you just might get it all.

About Me

Well guys, believe it or not, I finally started nursing school. It only took me 5 years to get started! But hey, persistence is the key. (See following quote.) "I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards." -Abe Lincoln I'll graduate in Aug. of this year. Then I'll sit for the NCLEX, which is the FL state board exam you have to take to get your RN ("rn"= "registered nurse") license to practice. I REALLY want to go back to Costa Rica someday, maybe even live there for a couple of years. But that's too far away to think about. My friend Cecilia is in Japan right now (April 2007-?). So hopefully I will make it there before she leaves. I've been trying to do some scrapbooking lately, but I find that it just becomes another item on my list of things to do. Anyway, I love hanging out with my friends (although Roofus doesn't!), so if you wanna hang out, I might be able to pencil you in! ;o)

My Interests


Create yours at BlingyBlob.com!
Nursing...I'll prolly end up in pediatrics or VA ("veterans affairs" not "Virginia" silly), the Spanish language, writing letters to soldiers in Iraq, scrapbooking, dogs, English grammar (although it's hard as crap and I don't think I'll ever fully understand it!), politics, African-American history, and modern US History (nothing prior to circa 1850 please!).
You Should Travel to Japan
From freak sightings in Harajuku to awesome sashimi, you'll love Japan.
And who knows? You might end up on Japanese TV! What Asian Country Should You Visit?
You Have A Type B+ Personality
You're a pro at going with the flow. You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer. A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.
While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity. Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done. You're passionate - just selective about your passions Do You Have a Type A Personality?I'll use this spot type the address to my Yahoo! photo album. My user name is awest732001 if that's any easier.

You Communicate Like a Man
When you communicate, you like to get to the point.
You're not afraid to say what's on your mind - and leave it at that.
Talking about your emotions drains you. You rather keep them to yourself.
You prefer solving problems to wallowing in your sorrows. Do You Communicate Like a Man or a Woman?

Music:

Just about anything except country. Then again, I like a few of Tim McGraw and Lonestar's songs and Martina McBride's "This One's For the Girls." If you look in my iPod, it has anything-Missy Elliot, Michael Jackson, Backstreet Boys (yes, you read that right), B2K, Journey, Tupac, The Whispers, Ludacris, Eddie Money, Korn, Willa Ford, Nas, Alanis Morissette (one of the hardest names ever to spell!), The Game, Bobby Brown, John Mayer, Kanye West, Limp Bizkit, Peter Gabriel, Matchbox 20...I mean, the list is endless!I don't like beer, but I thought this was funny!

An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly.
You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view.

Movies:

All of the Shreks! Nothing makes me laugh like Donkey. :) Finding Nemo, Man On Fire, Good Will Hunting, Bad Santa, Land Before Time, and many others.Sign the Million for marriage petition now at

Television:

"Scrubs" should be on the air for forever! I also like The Simpsons, Days of Our Lives (What are we going to do if Stefano ever actually dies!?), and 2 shows on Court TV:Forensic Files and Psychic Detectives (Thanks Meg for the addiction!). Other than that, I don't watch other TV, it's boring as Hell.

Books:

"To Kill A Mockingbird" (Harper Lee)...the only book I read in all 4 years of high school!, "Night" (Elie Wiesel), "Kindred" (Octavia E. Bulter...you HAVE to read it. It's where I got Roofus's name- just not the spelling.) "Up From Slavery" (Booker T. Washington), "Marley and Me" (John Grogan). Anything about African American history toots my horn. I hate fiction for the most part, and like for things to be written in first person (hence, autobiographies being a favorite too).

Heroes:

Roofus! As for humans, my sister, parents, paternal grandmother, Fernando Vale, Selim Benbadis, my teachers from kindergarten until now (except my 3rd and 4th semester nursing clinical instructor). Basically everyone that loves me despite my many flaws! And, of course, past, present, and future members of the Armed Forces for protecting the country that I love but could/would never fight for!
