About Me

I am an introvert when I want to be and an extrovert when I want to be. I am a lover of antique and old things. I have an obsession with going to history, art and old museums where I can relive the past and imagine how everyone lived before all of the phones, television, electricity and wifi that we have the luxuries of today. I am very into writing and getting my feelings out as well as sharing experiences and stories with others. I am an open book and love to experience the differences in both mind and letter.

Favorite Music

I grew up playing the piano and learned a little guitar. When it comes to music I am a fan of classical music (orchestra beethoven), country music (from 1950s to 2000s), california trap/hip hop (YES I am from great old California!) and pop music. I am not as big of a fan or rock and metal as I am hip hop and country but have no problem listening to it out in public. I personally admire those who can play guitar for a crowd and not mess up.

Favorite Movies

I love watching movies but I am horrible at remembering names, characters and actors. I love watching horror, comedy, dramas and any type of crime/investigation type show.

Favorite Television

I am not as much of a cable television person as much as I am of an online Youtube/Netflix/Hulu subscriber. I love watching Desperate Housewives and That 70s show reruns.

Favorite Crafts

I wish I could say I am a bigger crafter, but I am currently working on building up my supplies. I am in the works of saving up for a Cricut Explore Air and a good ink printer so that i can cut and print some photos/stickers/vinyl shirts. I would love to be able to make them and market them out to everyone, especially those who get to see my letters and designs via penpal mail. I love colors and drawing and sketching out my artwork. I am also an avid thriftshopper who loves crafting together pieces of antique furniture/toys and reselling them to others who may not have access of have found the items otherwise.

USA Traveler

One day I hope to change my title to World Traveler. I have only been to the Philippines other than travel inside the United States. Hopefully Mexico and Canada will be crossed off my list soon. I have been to almost every state in the US and have visited many tourist attractions. I would say visiting Yosemite and the Grand Canyon were both amazing places to visit and see in person. I have also been to Disneyworld, Hershey Chocolate Park, visited the Statue of Liberty in New York and have been up and down California hundreds of times. The Bay Area is my home, but southern california gives me a lot of energy since I was born there.

Lucille Ball

My favorite actress/person I admire would be Lucille Ball. From her outfits, to her talent to her looks I would always admire how she went through so much in her lifetime yet still lived a happy and memorable life. That is the type of life I want to be able to provide and inflict on others.

Favorite Books

I do not have many newer books that I have been reading since I have been studying for my state tests and work. I have been working on reading and listening to audio and ebooks. In which I usually listen to reruns of books I read in high school and as a young adult. I love thriller, romance novels, vampires, history books and general fun reads. My favorite type of reading is when history and biographies are around as I love reading about the past.

Favorite Colors!

Yes I have multiple colors! I love black (yes its a shade I'm fine with that), red and pink the most. Those are my 3 favorite colors. When it comes to style I love rosegold anything and collect anything rosegold possible.

What Book are You Reading Hey there, I've got a couple on the go right now. I'm currently reading Year One by Nora Roberts as well as As You Wish by Jude Deveraux. Both are good so far so I have high hopes :) -- Tammy

Hi! This is for the swap: What Book are you reading?

I am reading Dirty Girls by Lily white. I read a lot of dark romance and this author writes a lot of those books.

Have a nice day.
