ABOUT ME

Me huh? well I am the dependable one. I am the one who make sure everyone at the party gets home all right. I love books!!! and Movies!!! the art of telling stories. books are my buget weakness. All kinds of book, fiction, non-fiction, fanstasy, textbooks, history, guidebooks, classics, cookbooks, craft-books, poetry, esoteric, religion, myth, mystery, I think you get the pictue. I have been dreaming since I was 7 that I would go to England and meet my family there. My grandmother was sent to Canada durring WWII so she would be safe and when the war was over her father raised her and her mother stayed in england and had another family of whom I will be the thrird person to visit them(the other two being my grand parents). With this comes a once in a life time chance to travel Europe for three months. This trip is also a great excuse to read more! A dream coming true because I never gave up and I sacrificed a lot to get here.
I am a very oppinionated introvert, shy, stubborn as a mule, and am very to the point. I am Loyal to the point of a fault. Very go with the flow, only leading when I have to. Quietly determind. Honor is a priority. Lying is avioded at all cost.

PHILOSOPHY

The Truth. If I tell someone they don't want to know Please trust me because I will tell or show you if you continue to ask. Most people are only dumb enough to doubt me once. So save us both the trouble do not ask again. I do not know if that is a philosophy but it's good advice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music but it's not very high on the priority list so it usually falls off the bottem of the list. Books are my life blood wihout them I'd go insane so to pick favourites is impossible! Recent include "the Promise of Rain" by Donna Milner, Roughguide Europe, Let's Go Europe 2010, Britain by BritRail 2010, Europe by Eurail, Rick Steve's Best of Europe, "The Boy with The Stripped pajamas" by John Boyne, "The Boy Who Dared" by Susan Canpbell-Bartoletti, "Hana's Suitcase" by Karen Levine, "How To Change Anyone" & "Make Peace With Anyone" by David J. Lieberman , The Darwin Awards Book 1 through 5 by Wendy Northcutt and that's just the last two months!

Teach, Learn, Share

As a kid in the middle of a rain forest one of the thing we all learn was suvival. I mean we all know how to survive in this area and many other how to stay alive and get rescued if lost. I can make a fire with only my knife. but to save time and valuable energy when "lost" I carry a lighter with me at all times.
