The essential "Random facts about me" page

The I, I, I, ME, ME, ME page. Every Blog needs one, right? Here are some facts that you might or might not care to know about me:

I am 3/4 Italian and 1/4 Irish.

I have medium length, naturally curly hair that I absolutely loathed until about five years ago when I finally learned how to control it.

My hair is a great asset and I get compliments on it all the time.

I have hazel eyes.

I am 5'6" tall with a medium athletic build.

I am happy with my body. I like to keep somewhat active to keep up that little bit of muscle tone, even though I'm not that keen on exercising. Oh well, gotta do what I gotta do.

I am the youngest of three kids. I have two older brothers, one 7 years older, one 9 years older.
My parents are still married (39 years) and are actually happy. A rare thing. They are retired. I hope to build a similiar life.

I grew up in a normal, middle class household (2.5 kids and a dog!)

My childhood was pretty happy. I really knew how to entertain myself in imaginative ways.

I love my family.

My favorite toy was My Little Pony. I still have my herd.
I still reside in the city where I grew up, in Southern California. Although it's a pretty decent town, I'm sick to death of it and hope to one day move...not sure where yet.

It would be hard to leave here though, because the weather is great and it's not too far from the beach.

I LOVE the beach and swimming in the ocean. I love swimming period. I was on the swim team all through highschool and junior college.

I love nature.

I love animals (duh). I love my pets, Pickles and Punkin' the lovebirds, Toby the parrotlet, Stanley kitty, Rosie the tarantula (she's a sweet natured Chilean Rose tarantula) and a freshwater aquarium.

Aquariums and fish have always fascinated me. I want a reef tank in my livingroom someday. Preferably in the wall between two rooms. Ooooooohhhh....

I LOVE music and am somewhat musically inclined. I have a good ear. I have to listen to music almost every day. I especially love to sing, but only when I'm by myself! I want to take voice lessons some day. I also want to learn to play an instrument.

I am in LOVE. I am getting married for the first time on April 21, 2007 to my Ronnie poop.

Ron is a wonderful, sweet, kind, respectful and intelligent man. He artistic and loves music and animals. He is also the typical male stubborn mule. But he's SUCH a man.

I am an office manager at a small wholesale company that sells goods that are imported from Poland.

I like my job and have been here for 3 years.

My boss is a very cool, understanding guy.

I am also an artist. My favorite medium is pencil and ink. I'm pretty damn good, if I do say so myself!

I am a "true artist" in that I don't give a shit if I ever make money at it. I'd rather do it for myself.
However, I have illustrated my first children's book with a partner. It is in the works, looking to be picked up by a publisher (crossing fingers).

I am not a career person and I hate school. It all just makes me too nervous!

I am a nervous/anxious person.

I take life one day at a time. NO, I've never been to AA....

I live in a cute little backhouse with Ron. I used to love it, but that was when I was alone there. Now it's getting way too small. I can't wait to get more room!

In highschool I was completely OBSESSED with Pearl Jam. My first boyfriend was Eddie Vedder...HAHA! I have a shitload of scrapbooks with his face plastered all over 'em. Oh Eddie...the times we had....

Some of my other favorite bands are Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Incubus, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Beatles, Zepplin...oh, WAY too many to list!

I like to smoke and drink, but not excessively, although I do have an addictive personality.

I love cheese noodles and hotdogs with ketchup...all in a bowl with lots of pepper!

I love Spaghetti-Os.

I love artichokes.

I love brownies (regular and pot :D)

I had a miserable first year of highschool, but got the hang of it by sophomore year. It wasn't so bad, I had a great time on swim team and in art class. I'm actually glad I never had a boyfriend in highschool.

I don't like to travel very much. I am SUCH a homebody. I left the country for the first time last year when I went to China. I would like to go to Europe (Italy) one day, but if I don't, I really don't care.

I really want to go to Hawii or Cancun or just SOMEPLACE where the water is a beautiful torquiose blue. I will be doing that soon for my HONEYMOON!

I can't STAND ignorance.

I am losing faith in humanity.

I am trying to control my growing anger toward all the ignorance and just plain rotten people in the world. I have a good heart, I just get SO PISSED OFF sometimes. I know it's bad.

There is nothing I can do about it. Why stress over things I can't control? I tell myself that A-FUCKING-LOT.

I have two best friends that I've known since preschool.

I am not a very social person. I like close relationships with few people. I'm happy just hanging with small groups...2 or 3 people.

I've never thrown a huge party.

That is all for now. This will change over time.
