1. When I was a kid I used to change my name a lot. I would introduce myself with a different name every time I met someone - I even wrote different names in tests at school. My first grade teacher thought I had a personality disorder and asked my mom to take me to a psychologist. Turns out I just didn't liked my name because it was too difficult for other kids to pronounce it correctly.
2. The first play I ever wrote was in 4th grade. It was made for a school special for grand parents. I forgot its name but it was about how God selects the right grandparent for every kid. I found parts of the copy on my grandparents files while cleaning one day and every time I read it I remember my folks.
3. I have lots and lots of cousins but both my parents are only child. We consider ourselves cousins just because we are related in some long lost degree and love each other dearly.
4. My mom is an English teacher and there are around 13 members of my family that work in something related to teaching, but I owe my English to cable TV.
5. I don't know what it's like to not have back pains. I think I got used to them and sometimes I just forget it's hurting. I do not pity myself because of that or remind myself that I have 2 metal rods on my back. Actually, I amuse myself with wild stories to those TSA employees at airports when the metal detector goes crazy at checkpoints.
6. For one night I was in no country at all. My plane from Ecuador to Panamá broke down and I had already checked out from the country in customs. I was stuck at the gate until the next day that I took the next plane to Panama.
7. There's a ghost in my house named Margarita. After some researching, my mom found out she was the house's original owner and one day she just disappeared. We think she died in my old room since most of her sightings are about her sitting in my old bed. We think she's a good ghost and I've only seen her once but some of my friends don't even visit me because of her.
8. My political views are as different as day and night. I can either be a republican wanting Puerto Rico to be a State STAT, or a patriotic demanding our freedom from the US - both sides, but never the middle. For some weird reason I don't like the middle party about keeping things the way they are as a commonwealth.
9. I am known for treating people nicely and for trying to always find a happy medium. But intolerance is my middle name when it comes to people trying to get away with murder.
10. When I was a kid when people asked me what I wanted be to when I grew up, my answer was that I wanted to be happy.
11. I used to be super intolerant with kids. I didn't even liked them much. But I attract them like bees to the honey. Kids like me too much and I honestly don't know why. I like them now and love it when they look for me to go out and play :o)
12. I've been misunderstood and back-stabbed way too many times. But that doesn't make me angry with the world - it just makes me wiser and stronger
13. I still believe in finding Mr. Right and being a mom someday
14. My mess is an organized disorder. Everything has it's place and purpose - it's like an OCD on messiness.
15. I have severe IBS. My most embarrassing stories have to do with my IBS
16. If I call my mom and she doesn't answer right away the first thing I think is that she died. It's been years now of living in constant fear about losing my mom. She's only 54 and pretty healthy so there shouldn't be an expectation of losing her any time soon, but the fear is there. This is the first time in my life I even mention it to someone.
17. I've had very cool jobs in my life. One of my favorites was at a tourism magazine. I had to travel and do "familiarization trips" to different destinations in order to write about it to travel agents.
18. Before I die I want to visit the following places (in no specific order) Machu Pichu, The Iguazú waterfalls, Stonehenge, Ibiza, do a safari in Africa, Jerusalem, Spain, Italy and the Greek Islands. Before I die I want to go back and visit Cuba and stay longer than the last time.
19. If someone hurted me in any way (see #12) I don't forget and before I forgive, my mind runs like crazy looking for ideas on what to do to that person. I have the hability to say horrible things without a single insult. I am not proud of this, but my mind keeps running like crazy looking for words to humiliate, seek vengeance, and I put all my energy on it. Normally I just drop the idea after a few months and I end up doing nothing but I drain myself during the process. I believe in Karma so I just sit back and let life take its course and see him/her fall.
20. I don't believe in most Puertorican puppy schools. $150.00 for a month of clases YOU give to your dog isn't the best way to train your dog with a CHOKER! You just need patience, treats and love.
21. I love working on creative things but I don't consider myself to be a creative person.
22. Most of my close friends ever are online friends I've never met in person (yet)
23. I LOVE rainy days and cleaning my house during the night
24. I started my novel when I was 20 and still haven't finished it
25. I really - honestly - definitely don't like pizza!!!
