CURRENT MISSION

I don't want to be just satisfied! My goal in life is to grow as much as possible as a person and die with a smile and no regrets. (they don't work, as Robbie says)

ABOUT ME

Outgoing, always smiling and creative. Like to explore cultures and to learn languages. Very easygoing and love to have fun, but also need quiet alonetime every now and then to function. I hug often and I love to be around posetive people.

Mantras like:
"It could be worse"
"See the problem, solve the problem"
and "Everything feels easier if you smile".

PHILOSOPHY

Honestly, it could always be worse. If I sometime forget myself in pathetic selfpity I think of those less fortune ones than me, and smack myself back on track and get on with it.

You are never to old to learn, and if you think you know everything you are just stupid. I live for learning (nahh... not the thick books and the historic lessons, I suck at that... but about life)

I have no fright of getting older as I think it truely makes us wiser. I learn things about myself everyday and I would not trade the person I am today for the one I was when I was sixteen. (although, I was a great sixteen year old, thank you very much... Ha ha...) I can today live more freely than I could then, (but still, some of the energy I had then I miss... Ha ha...) and I make better choices today. (or at least I think so... Ask me again when I'm forty... ha ha...)

Interests

Music. Singing, listening, playing, dancing, and above all feeling it... Without music for a while I tend to get very cranky, and I always sing and dance (even in the street if the moment's right! Ha ha). But I also know when to be quiet and still (well, most of the times at least... Ehrm...) There is always a song for each situation, and good lyrics and great rythm make me loose myself.

I love to meet new people and when I'm at home my favourite thing to do is to hang out with my awsome friends and family. We cook together, take salsalessons, chat over tea or coffee or a tasteful bottle of wine, discuss EVERYTHING, go for walks and always laugh a lot.

I have a big interest of cultures, learning languages and the whole science about how and what people do. People intrigues me!

I love to travel (of course) and I'm working on living today. I had in august -08 a mindblowing trip to Portugal that really made me see a new prespective of life. So a tattoo was made after that- Viver o Agora. Just a reminder to myself if I ever loose track.

Music, Movies, and Books

All the books I've read so far by Paulo Coelho I've loved. He is a great writer that have made me think a lot. But sometimes I hate him... (the truth about oneself hurts sometimes... ha ha...)
I like true stories and often the ones that upsets me in one way or another. It has to leave me with something.

When it comes to music there's really almost anything I don't like. I have a hard time however with trance and with the swedish "dansband". I am addicted to Ben Harper and if it weren't for that wife and that cute kid, and the whole happy family thing, I would marry him in a second! ;0)

Movies then? Well, I'm such a baby. I love Disney and Dreamwork. The best thing with being an aunt and godmother, cause I get to see them! Yeey! :0)
