Hola...My name is Marcela. I'm the one who likes to stand in the corner watching and listening to the world go round. When I decide to join the dance though, I'm quick to laugh and fast on the comeback. I can be shy, but when I start talking...well, I can go on for days. What sparks the conversation:MOVIES! FILM! CINEMA! (Summer 2008. So far - classic. Long live Tony Stark, Mr. Big, Po, Wall-E and the Dark Knight!)SPORTS! (Euro 2008 - catch it. The Truth - deserves it. Barry Zito - lost it. Tiger Woods - owns it. Go on United. Forza Roma. Vamos Argentina. And let's go Oak-land!)TELEVISION! (Well, I don't watch TV per se, but I am hooked on Channel 9, ESPN, TCM and the Travel Channel - as far as I can tell, the best thing about TV is that you can hook up a PS2 and a DVD player to it.)FLYING! (I hate it. Scared of it. But I will do it to reach my destination of choice. Lately dreams of Dublin, Paris, London and Lucca have been on the mind...)COOKING! (I love to cook for folks. The Food Network is my friend - except Rachel Ray. Don't like her. And books on chefs, how to be a chef, and the trials of wannabe chefs are my favorite. Give me a recipe book and I am a happy girl! I heart Anthony Bourdain. Mario Batali is fresh. And Thomas Keller is uber-cool. Play on Little Chefs.)FRENCH! ITALIAN! SPANISH! (I love learning and speaking new languages. I could use some practice, though. Oui...)MPH! (I go no less than 88, 'tis the magic number. I can get anywhere in 30 minutes or less or so. And in another 13 months I'll be free to get another ticket!!...Did I say that out loud?)BEER! (I love green bottles and pints and a perfectly poured Guinness. Brilliant!)ROULETTE! (Black, odd, corners, 23,16 and the cool double zeroes - very dangerous but tons of fun)HELLA! (use of this word in as many forms as possible as many times as necessary is a requirement)JAMESON - NEAT, PLEASE (Distilled not once, not twice, but thrice. Why? To be sure, to be sure, to be sure. Savvy!Sine metu.And if it's not available...Walk on with Johnny. Black, please.)TOTO'S (if you don't know - you should)MUSIC! (any band, singer, beat, label, era - chances are I'll tend to like it. I'm talking to you Bono and Frankie.)See, so many possibilities.
