About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn how to play "Love is no big truth" on Dr. Grrrr the Ukulele (my ukulele, obvs)

ABOUT ME

Being a student (yet again!!!) in a foreign country has reinforced my beliefs that people are just people no matter where they live. That right there was a valuable piece of info. Use it wisely. :)
I love meeting new people and talking about whatever. The downside of this is that if I feel we can have conversations I'll probably make weird or nonsensical "jokes". I say "jokes" because most likely they'll only make me laugh. But they're funny, they really are.

PHILOSOPHY

If you're the one that has to live with yourself 24/7, stop caring that much about other people's opinions.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Latinamerican authors (Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Oliverio Girondo, Neruda...) ARE AWESOME. My favorite being Julio Cortázar. That guy is crazy!
Movies: depends on the mood, if I don't fall asleep through the first run. (But really, if the mood is right Memento could be my favorite movie. Or Pineapple express. It all depends on the mood.)
Music: Radiohead is my favorite group. But as I love melodies and lyrics I'll tend to like any type of interesting music.

Teach, Learn, Share

The correct way to refer to magical activities:
"It's not a trick, Michael. It's an illusion. Tricks are something whores do for money....or candy..."
