About Me


Samples of YUM and BEAUTY from around the world :D



The most simple and rewarding things in life are free.
It's all about those special times that cannot be described with words.
Always keep an open mind, and try to see beauty where it's least expected.
Appreciate every day that you are given, and live life to its fullest... always.

About me:
I am Nettles.
Carniverous, but loves all types of food!
Sushi lover. Sweet tooth? Yes, definitely.
An ice cream can brighten my day. My week actually.
I love hibernating at home when it's raining, motorcycles, yes..
dirt biking yes.. anything exciting and new.. yes.
This is how I roll when I kick ass.
Like it.
Love it.
Need it.
Straight from Venezia.
Life without passion is a slow death.
You were destined to have a Red Lightsaber.
Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is
associated with energy, war, danger, strength,
power, and determination as well as passion and
desire. You have seen the Strength and Power of
the Dark Side of the Force and have you thirst
for more of it.
You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect.
You are not really the stereotypical hero, but you do fight for good.
Just in your own way. For you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil person, if it is for justice and peace. You also don't belive in mourning all the time and think that once you've hit a bad stage in life you just have to get up again. It's pointless to concentrate on emotional pain and better to just get on with everything. You also are a down to earth type of person and think before you act. Impulsive people may annoy you somewhat.
Main weapon: Sword
Quote: "Always do the right thing.
This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" - Mark Twain
Facial expression: Small smile
Congratulations. you are the "you smell like butt" bunny.
you're brutally honest and always say whats on your mind.
You Are The Emperor
You are an authority figure, and other people look to you for what to do. You are strong and powerful. Crossing you is not a good idea. You have worked hard to get to your position, and you're not about to give it up to anyone. Though you have a warrior heart, you are gentle to those who treat you well.
Your Seduction Style: The Natural
Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people. You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious
- a hard combo to find! People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast.
Your True Sign Is Sagittarius
Funny
Confident
Easily Bored
Philosophical
World Traveler
Spontaneous and Wild
Carefree
Blunt to the Point of Tactless
Mmm. Ice cream.
Sushi? ...YUM :P
Angry Moo.
Roar!
Leo Heart!
Leo Baby!
Leo Kitty!
