I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a crazy Latina, those of you who know me will attest to this. I think I'm a good person, but I guess that is subject to opinion. I'll admit that I'm a bit eccentric and like to shake things up a bit, but hey, who likes things to be the same all the time! True I am not known for my meek nature, and I've been told that I have a way of letting people know that I'm in the room, but that's just me. I've been called an "old soul" by a couple of people which I like. I live by the philosophy that life is what you make it, so just embrace it! Embrace and love those around you, laugh and cry with those around you, and trust that God will take care of the rest.MySpace Layouts - myspace layouts div.topbanner { top: 0; left: 49%; margin-left: -200px; width: 100%; height: px; position: absolute; }

My Interests

First and foremost,I love spending time with my family. Especially my father, he's my heart and we have dinner and/or lunch at least twice a week. Other than that I enjoy shopping (like any other woman), listening to music -preferably live, "trying" to dance salsa, merenge, dancing at South Beach, bar hopping in Montrose, reading a good book, going to museums, going to the gym, and running on beautiful day at Memorial Park.

I'd like to meet:

There are alot of people I'd like to meet. Anthony Hopkins is one of them. He is an incredible actor and is one of the main reasons I got into acting. Jody Foster is another...she's a pretty little lesbian. I'd also love to meet Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angelina Jolie....they are beautiful, talented, graceful, and strong....everything I strive to be.

Music:

I love all kinds of music: Country, jazz, Motown classic hits, latin jazz, pop, classical, opera, & alternative. And being like any other Latina - I love Latin Music!! I might not know what they are saying 100% of the time, but if the beat is there I'm going to be shaking it on the dance floor!

Movies:

Favorite movie, hands down "The Silence of the Lambs". After that Chicago, Hannibal, Lost In Translation, Howards End, Remains of the Day, Pulp Fiction, Alien, Capote.....and okay okay, I'll admit Jackass II and Borat were hilarious! I also love the cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"...Tim Curry in drag w/ fish nets, ooh la la!

Television:

Favorite shows: Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, House, Boston Legal, and last but certainly not least, RENO 911!!!(it's f-ing hilarious you have to agree!) Oh and I LOVE watching old episodes of Dynasty...it's so sinfully over the top, the drama, the bad make-up, the shoulder pads..it's not just drama, it's DYNASTY!

Books:

In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote - finished it, excellent! currently reading "The Complete Stories of Truman Capote", enjoying it very much!

Heroes:

My hero is and will always be my dad. He's delightfully difficult, stubborn, strong willed, strong minded, hard working, passionate, loving and in every way the man I look up to. There is no way that I could ever get married, because I seriously doubt that any other man can live up the standards my dad has set, every man I have dated has fallen short and thats the truth. He's my heart, the one person I know that no matter what, he'll never judge me and always love me. My dad is more than my parent, he's my best friend, the person I confide in, the only other opinion that I will consider besides my own...he's my everything and I love him very very much. I thank GOD every night for giving me such a wonderful man for a father. For that I can't really ask for much else.Another one of my heroes is my 12th grade English teacher, Mr. Richard Settles. He was very influential and showed me just how incredibly deep and powerful literature can be.
