GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER
What are 10 things you do every day?
1. My normal morning routine: shower, dress, eat.
2. Attempt to write something worthwhile, whether its poetry or a short story.
3. Talk to one of my siblings and see how they are doing. I also like to check up on their kids.
4. I see my boyfriend everyday, and we still haven’t tired of each other. =]
5. Turn on my computer the first thing in the morning to check my email. My boy is also known to send me messages to make me smile.

7. Read.
8. Play Cooking Mama on my DS, usually before I go to bed.
9. Go to either school or work.
10. Listen to music
What is the most important thing in your life? At this moment, my family because it keeps growing. I have a huge family. Both of my parents are remarried and their spouses already had children. I am the youngest of eight [two sisters, two step-sisters, two step-brothers, and one brother]. I also have three nieces and three nephews.
Who do you live with? My dad and step-mom.
What would you change about yourself? I want to be in better shape but I have little ambition too. So I don’t exercise as often as I should.
What are some of your pet peeves? I absolutely hate it when people leave the kitchen cupboards open and crack their knuckles.
What is one obsession you have? I love watching anime and reading manga. I’m crazy about the Japanese culture.
RANDOM PERSONALITY QUESTIONS
What is something you are good at? I have been told that I write well and, most of the time, I agree.
Have you ever had a broken heart (tell us about it if you have)? Yes, I have. Earlier this year I came out of a verbally abusive relationship. We had been dating for at least eighteen months and at first it was great. However, I didn’t realize that he had started treating me badly. I think it was because he gave me a promise ring and I wanted it to work out. I thought I was in love with this boy, but I came to realize that he wasn’t who I thought he was.
What is one experience you went through that was very tough? A few years ago, my brother was in a serious A.T.V. accident. He was in critical condition for some time and there was thought that he wasn’t going to make it. It was the worst time of my life because my brother is one of my best friends.
What are your friends like? I don’t have many close friends but the ones I have are great. There is a pilot, mother-to-be, an anime freak, a high school student, and my siblings.
Show us something you‘ve created:
Nightmare
Deep inside the sacred mind,
Demons and spirits you will find,
Deep in dreams, ever so clear,
Searching through boxes to find a fear.
Locked inside hidden walls,
From the ceiling they soon will fall.
Watching blind through broken glass,
Shaking the handle make of brass.
You are the one that sheds a tear,
While they are the ones that I fear.
OPINIONS
What do you think about the FCC regulating the media? I have mixed feelings about this because I don’t like censoring, but I think it is necessary. Because of young children watching more television, I don’t think that swear words or adult content should be shown. However, if they are going to show those things, they should be later at night and with warning before hand.
What is something you feel strongly about? I said earlier that my brother was in a serious accident, but what I didn’t say was his helmet saved his life. I am a firm believer is wearing helmets, especially on any type of motor vehicles. If there are seatbelt laws, there should be helmet laws because they also save your life.
What do you think about uniforms in schools? I never had to wear a uniform and I am glad because I could wear whatever I wanted. However, I am not against them because uniforms prevent bullies making fun of others’ clothing.
