I am introspective, impressionable, and loving.
My Self-Summary
I'm a native to Denver, CO. I enjoy reading fiction (Andre Dubus,
A.M. Homes, Mark Doty, etc.) writing
fiction and
non-fiction pieces in my spare
time. This summer I was lucky enough to take a fiction writing
course at Metropolitan State College of Denver. I enjoy
foreign
languages, specifically
Spanish. I have very few friends, but
the friends I have remain close to me and in my heart. I would like
to spend a year in
Mexico after graduation, before heading
to graduate school (hopefully Iowa's creative writing program).
Family is important to me, I am closer to my father, but feel more
open to speak my mind to my mother. I have two lovely cats I live
with, I am thankful every day for being in such cute company.
Estaré triste cuando tengo que dejar mis gatos, amigos, y mi
familia. Pero volveré a casa en nueve meses, mi español será mejor
y seré capaz de encontrar un mejor trabajo.
I'm very lucky to be where I am right now in my life.
What I’m doing with my life
I just returned from a semester abroad in Guadalajara, Mexico. I
loved every minute of it, the entire experience was simply too
incredible to describe. I learned much, and will always have a
special place in my heart for such an amazing country. This fall I
will be in Madrid, Spain. I received a grant to be a teacher's
assistant for the 2009/2010 school year. I am very excited and
nervous for this endeavor, but I know whenever I am scared to
confront my fears, it usually turns out to be the best moments of
my life.
Más tengo miedo de algo, más tengo que hacerlo.
I’m really good at
Listening to people when they need someone to talk to. I am a very
empathetic listener, it's important for me to be there for those
people, especially when it only takes the time to sit down and
talk.
Si usted necesita alguien para te hablar, estaré allí.
The first things people usually notice about me
My eyes. My septum piercing.
La gente dice muchas cosas agradables sobre mis ojos, y el resto
habla de mi piercing.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Music: the Pains of being pure at heart, Stars, yeah yeah yeahs,
placebo, Madonna, St. Vincent, Hello! Seahorse, etc.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
The future, especially my future abroad and aftermath of the

El futuro.
On a typical Friday night I am
At home having a drink and writing.
En mi casa, usualmente en mi casa bebiendo vino y tentativa de
pensar en una nueva historia para escribir.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I'm more lonely in Denver than anywhere else.
Soy más solo en Denver que en otra parte.
