Everything interests me. I like to learn. Philosophy, Physics, whatever... I CANNOT stand country music. (An oxymoron, in my opinion.) I'm oddly obsessed with socks. I have over 80 pairs. I do love a good round of Texas Hold'em but not more than a game of Chess. A good book is a girl's best friend. I love cooking. Travel of any sort is welcome. I'm a shutter bug who is still in love with the magic of film. Check out some of my scans here: Fotki
Right now I'm writing a novel so that is something I am enjoying. I just wish my brain would turn off when I want to sleep instead of coming up with new scenes while I lay in bed until 5 am.

Stasis is Death
ex nihilo nihil fit
Deus caritas est
And shepards we shall be
For Thee my Lord, for Thee
Power hath descended forth from Thine hand
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be
In Nomine Patris

Art is my passion in every sense of the word. Creating and making the world a more beautiful, fun place is what life should be all about. I try to do my part by designing original clothing and supporting local live events. The Peg has amazing talent! The long, brutally cold winters force us all inside to practice our instraments. At different times in my life I've played piano, guitar and violin. Clay sculpture and watercolour are also hobbies I enjoy. In a more passive way I love theatre of any kind and spending time in galleries and museums. As soon as I get my designs to pay me enough I plan to do all these things around the world. Ah, travel... I am very drawn to Italy. And Japan, Thailand, Brazil, Spain, Burkina Faso... (I can't spell. Deal with it.)

Food is another thing I can't get enough of! Vietnamese is my ultimate favorite with Thai and Sushi very close behind! I could live on salad rolls, red coconut curry soup and saba nigiri! Of course we must mention East Indian, Greek, Italian and Mexican... Namely Palak Paneer, Moussaka, spinich/ricotta canalloni and anything with avacado. Mmm... Avacado...

About the schools section...
Isn't is weird that you can't add colleges or universities? I found my elementary school of less than 150 students but the friggin U of M isn't listed! So here is the rest of my educational history...
Providence College
Otterburn, MB
1999 - 2000
Major: Social Science
University of Manitoba
Winnipeg, MB
2004 - 2006
Certificate: Apparel Design I & II
I think that's it. Oh, and before 1991 (grade 4) I was home-schooled by my mom. That's why I can't spell. I have foriegn parents. They both grew up in Mexico, German being thier first language, Dutch thier second, Spanish thier third and English a distant forth learned only once they were adults. If you think my spelling is bad, check out my brother's page... :P (James in my top friends)
Who I'd like to meet: I very much enjoy meeting all sorts of new people. I can't imagine picking just one or a dozen people. Everyone has an interesting story and everyone you meet can change your life. I particularly enjoy conversing with intelligent, optimistic, humorous people. And bass players. I like bass players. :P (Or is it base?) And Craig Ferguson. He was a drummer. I also like creative, artsy people. And movie/book lovers. See? I like everyone! :P
I had been a MySpace Whore when I first signed up, but now I'm more of a MySpace Snob. So if you want to be added as a friend, send me an e-mail along with a request so I know you're a real person. Muchos Gracias!
You know how that when you read your fortune cookie slips you're supposed to add "in bed" to the end to make it funnier? Well here are some actual cookie fortunes. Please e-mail me more if you get good ones...
Your hard work will soon pay off.
You are admired for your accomplishments.
This is probably my favorite spot of all time.
I love these boys...
I want to know about the horrible food at the Rock and Roll restaurant. You've peaked my interest. Sounds like you had fun. Welcome back! We should hang out soon. You busy girl?
Sorry I missed you on Sunday. I spent most of that day helping to build a couple of teepees for Festival. Hopefully next time I'll be able to make it. Talk to you soon :)
Happy holidays Bonnie! I would love to hang out if and when you have the time. I recently gave my two weeks at work so I will have plenty of free time coming up soon.
