besides the fact that I am in love with vampires..... i have 2 tattoes and I draw....charcoal, an watercolors...i am an emotional artist and usually sadness or depression bring out my best work.....i know, so depressing.

6) do you decorate a christmas tree? what colors?

I am all about Christmas! My favorite holiday. I love silver and gold with a touch or red and green. I usually decorate my trees with off the wall type ornaments. I am not very traditional. I always have a Christmas party and ask everyone to bring in an ornament that represents them the most. I add these to my tree so most of my ornaments are from friends and fam and they all remind me of their original owner.

7) do you read? what genre? Yes. I love non-fiction love stories....I am reading Twilight (vampire love story), what can be better right?! I am addicted. I am a hopeless strar crossed lover fanantic. So I like love stories where to couple are completely encapulated with one another, yet they end horrendously although still romantic....ie Romeo an Juliet, Titanic, Twilight....

8) magazines you read but DO NOT have a subscription to (so we dont send a magazine that you already have) Us Weekly, Latina (have subscr) otherwise I am not much of a mag reader. otherwise I'm an interior desiger and love HGTV, so I love DIY mags or design mags and books.

9) What would you like to have?

besides peace of mind...hmmm...I would like to have a warm and romantic Christmas with my husband. You know, Leading Men of Christmas cd playing, candles lit in the fireplace, the smell of cinnamon apples in the kitchen, and little cute romantic movie in the DVD, and then we exchange ornaments.

10) Do you have an mp3 player?

yes a very old I-pod shuffle.

11) Do you wear jewelry?

Yes, silver and white gold

12) Do you listen to music? If yes, what kind?

Yes, I like gospel, neo-soul, jah cure, sizzla, roots reggae, lovers rock style. I like dancehall too. Dont know most artists names, but just some of the real dancey stuff..no slackness.

13) Do you cook?

All the time....I love to cook. I just experiment alot and make up dishes on the fly.Most often they come out great. Evan likes my cooking, so thats one plus to my randomness.

14.) Are your ears pierced?Yes 4 holes in each ear.
