About Me

Ok well i am doing this once and for all: I am Colombian -yes, it is spelled ColOmbian-. No, that is not a state of Mexico, it's a whole country. I was born in Bogota and I miss the cold weather all year long -Bogota is cold every single day of the year, in case you didn't get that from what I said before- I love Colombia. I love the US as well, especially San Francisco and New Orleans, New York is pretty cool too -Half Florida is the exception- I moved to Las Vegas, NV in March 2006. I want to be a writer. I have a computer science degree, I didn't really like it -Ok I'm lying i liked a couple classes but that's it-. I have a literature diploma too - this I really enjoyed doing. I like black: black shoes, black purses, black shirts, black jeans, black wallets, I like black. I don't like pink, no pink shoes, no pink makeup, no pink purses, no pink lip gloss, maybe pink shirts. My least favorite color is gold. I really don't like pets. I don't like spicy food. No, Colombian food is not spicy. Music is very important to me. I love going to the movies. I like dancing and I miss dancing salsa -Yes, I can dance salsa-. Queen and The Cure are my favorite bands. I like everything that comes with the cucumber melon scent from bath and body works. I like sports, I am not good at them but I like them a lot. I love the Steelers. I don't like watching baseball, going to games is fun though. I like batman, he's awesome. Japanese food is my favorite, Italian is good too. I don't like Mexican food that much, some is good. I like reading very very much. I cry a lot and very easily. I am spoiled. I like guys that open the door for you just because they were raised to do so. I don't like when people walk in front of me, next to me is better. I say Ma'am, sir, thank you and please and I expect for people to do the same I am not stupid, I just have an accent, it's quite different. My favorite book from the Bible is Ephesians. I pray Ephesians 3:14-20 everyday over me and my loved ones. Zara, Diesel and Urban Outfitters are some of my favorite stores. My favorite Shakespeare character is Iago; my favorite characters in general are Jean-Baptiste Grenouille and Adrian Leverkühn. I don't like reggaeton -I don't even know how to spell it-. I like to take pictures -a lot of pictures-. Yes I am short, yes you'll make fun of me, yes I will get over it pretty fast. I could eat sushi every day. I hate when people serve me small amounts of food because I am skinny. I eat a lot, just not very often. I don't like Wichita, KS. I think left handed people are awesome.
