The ATX REBEL in Independent Filmmaking!!!

About Me

Let's see . . . I think I'm a simple girl who likes to hang around real people. Film is my passion and it's a part of me. I love to smile, laugh, and be around positive people.
Your Birthdate: January 10
Independent and dominant, you tend to be the alpha dog in most situations.
You're very confident, and hardly anything ever shakes you.
Mundane tasks tend to drain you - you prefer to be making great plans.
You are quite original. When people don't "get" you, it bothers you a lot.
Your strength: Your ability to gain respect
Your weakness: Caring too much what others think
Your power color: Orange-red
Your power symbol: Letter X
Your power month: October What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
