About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living and loving each moment intensely!

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly person, get along with many different types of people well. I love to learn new things, go new places, and meet new people. What!? shocking

I have attention issues, I get distracted, at the same time I can multi-task like a champion so it is not a huge problem.

I am a great debater but I don't enjoy nasty conflicts, violence, verbal or otherwise is not the answer.

Don't discriminate in fact I criminate all the time, especially bike thieves if I see you stealing bikes I'm calling the police, ROOOXanne, ever tried that drinking game, it will kill you. I don't really play drinking games anymore, preferring to drink my beer nice and slow in the sweet shade of a tree watching the setting sun. I try not judge people harshly, cause people are weird and different, and that is good and proper and one of the most wonderful things in life.

I am a good judge of character, it's my superpower, along with teleportation (oh I would rob so many banks)

PHILOSOPHY

We are here to learn how to live forever one small mortal moment at a time. The infinite must be experienced in small doses in order to be understood and loved.

I am in South America right now! I have just travelled here (Colombia) from Guatemala. Getting from Panama to Colombia is the longest border crossing I have ever experienced, it basically took five days. It is my first trip away from North America and I am so excited. I am especially interested in improving my spanish. Espero es mejorando todo el tiempo.
