About Me


I SWEAR ON MY GRANDMOTHER'S GRAVE Disclaimers:
I'm engaged to the only guy I want, so if you're looking for anything more than friendship, you're sh^t outta' luck.
And even if I wasn't, just because I'm bi doesn't mean I'll do anything.
And I DON'T like fake boobs.

Now let's see...in really no particular order whatsoever:
I have 1 tattoo (that's meaningful to me) that I got the day I turned 18, and 4 piercings (ears that are pretty much closed-up...2 in the right and 1 in the left, and navel).
I was adopted from Colombia when I was 3months (so I only know the Spanish I've learned in school).
I'm home for summer vaca.
I'm not religious at all. I was brought-up Catholic or Christian or w/e the hell it was, but I haven't believed in "God" since probably the 8th grade. That religion only kept me fascinated w/the stories and everything when I was in, like, the 3rd grade. I still find Wicca fascinating tho', and have since probably the 8th grade, and I find the old Greek belief in the different gods (Apollo, etc.) to be interesting too. Please don't preach to me about being a better Catholic or Christian or w/e just because I don't believe in "God". I have my beliefs, you have yours, let's just leave it at that.
Umm...for fun, I like (in really no particular order) spending time w/Mike and/or my friends (watching tv, relaxing, reading, going into Boston, going to the movies, mall sometimes, to concerts, to an amusement park or carnival, etc.); doing all that stuff I just listed; watching movies; writing; driving around aimlessly while blasting (and usually singing to) my music; spending time w/my family; going down the Cape (my family and I have a summer cottage down there); going to the beach; listening to music; (usually) meeting new people; staying up all night w/fun people; visiting my HS @ sunrise and swinging on the swings; walkin' through my woods; makin' it to breakfast; being random; missing my stop on the red line; being weird; being hyper; being a player-hater; etc.
Uh...I'm an insomniac. I can go on 4hrs. of sleep, and it's actually fun cuz I'm wicked hyper and in a good mood when I do that. :P Insomnia can be frustrating at times tho'.
I have four awesome best friends, the wife, Casey, Meg, and Mandie (woo, shoutouts, lol) who are always there for me and love me for who I am and don't judge me and all that great stuff. :)
I can play the violin. I don't as much now, but I took lessons for it until the 10th grade I think. I'd like to start taking lessons again. I'd like to learn more about playing the guitar too.
My favorite band is Incubus, and I've seen them ::thinks::...8 times (I feel like I'm wrong, and it's 10). I should've seen them 9 (11, if I'm wrong), but when they came around the second time in 2004, to NH, the Red Sox had the final game of the World Series.
Sooo...I'm a huge Red Sox fan. Derek Lowe used to live in the same condominium complex as my aunt. My fav. player is Tek, although I loved Cabrera in the 2004 season cuz he was from Colombia, and an awesome SS.
I played softball from the time I was introduced to t-ball in Kindergarten 'til the beginning of the season in the 8th grade. My favorite positions were SS and pitcher, although I did outfield too. I wish I had played in HS, but ah well. I'd play now if there were some kind of non-college intramural-type team around. I played soccer from, like, the 4th or 5th grade I think 'til it ended in the 8th grade. I loved being right wing, but right middle was fine too. I kinda' wish I had played that in HS too, but I was still down the Cape when the pre-season practices began, lol. I'd play that now if there were some sorta' intramural-like team around too.
I'm not a virgin, but I'm not a slut either. I can be a nympho when in a relationship tho', and I have an insane record relating to uh...yea...getting off, lol. :P
My favorite show ever is Punky Brewster. I was/still am a bit obsessed w/it. I was Punky for Halloween, like, 5 times or something. I also have both box sets that are out so far...and Punky-related buttons. My main SNs, e-mail addresses, and LJ account all have Punky-related names too. :P
Places I love to travel to are the Cape, NYC, Disney World, Ireland, and Hawaii. I've been to all of those places at least once.
Before I die, I want to go back to Colombia and take Mike to Disney World.
I have asthma = any kind of smoking bad, bad, BAD!
I don't drink that often or too an extreme usually, but if I'm out at dinner (in tha' 'ham, at least), I'll usually have a drink. At concerts w/bars, I'll usually have a shot of SoCo before heading into the pit.
I love Conan O'Brien, and I've seen him live several times in NYC.
I hate people who are fake.
I hate people who flake out on me, and try not to be that way myself.
I try to practice the belief of treating people as I'd like to be treated.
I hated HS. I wanted the place to burn while I was there...I still pretty much do, lol.
My favorite movie is V for Vendetta.
