BUT MY GREATEST INFLUENCES AND INSPIRATIONS OF ALL, ARE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TOUCHED MY LIFE... MY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND LOVED ONES...

Enya, Enigma, Sara McLachlan, Lisa Gerrard, Dead Can Dance, Tori Amos, The Third and the Mortal, The Gathering, Rain Fell Within, Dawn Desiree, Dawn Desiree', Kate Bush, etc.
Music, etc: Previous lead vocalist for Rain Fell Within. Currently a solo singer/songwriter about to begin recording my next solo album with the assistance of John Battema - AKA Musical Genius. No, Musical Genius is not his official name or anything, I just like to call him that. I'm also an actress and have been in a few musicals, and also played some roles for independent movie director, Matt Aldridge. I do some modeling, but ONLY for fun; a few of my good friends are photographers, but I am not comfortable enough in front of the camera to ever consider doing it professionally. I'm also into creative writing. I wrote a screenplay, but need to spend some time editing it, and am currently working on a science fiction novel. In the past, I took 6 years of photography classes - & I'd like to get back into it if I find the time somewhere.
About me: Lets see, I love MOVIES. My DVD collection is outgrowing my condo. Some of my favorites: The Illusionist, The Prestige, The Island, The Big Lebowski, Kung Fu Hustle (& anything by Stephen Chow), Pulp Fiction (& anything by Quentin Tarantino), Office Space, Clerks (& anything by Kevin Smith) etc. And of course chic flics, I AM a CHIC (last time I checked) after all... Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility and the soap opera Winter Sonata. And now to offset the chic flics, I must admit to being a serious horror movie fan. The Evil Dead series is my favorite but George Romero movies take a close second. Anything involving zombies will keep me entertained for hours.
I also love VIDEO GAMES my favorites are Final Fantasy, (8 and 10 are my favorites, but Ive been playing Final Fantasy since the first Nintendo), Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Devil May Cry, Katamari, Shadowhearts, etc. One evening I was playing Resident Evil 4 and there is this boulder you have to avoid getting squashed by and I kept pulling the remote control out of the playstation II so I immediately went out to Best Buy and bought myself a wireless remote. Best purchase ever.
I love nature & if the weather is warm, I would rather walk then drive. Hiking is nice but not if I can fall off the mountain and die. I may go out to the occasional bar or club, but mostly just like to spend time with my friends & if I'm not with them, I am at home writing music or stories or playing fetch with one of my cats. Yes, he plays fetch.
Oh, and I'm also a goofball. I love to laugh, and love to make people laugh.
Salutes from Puerto Rico Dawn. Thanks for accepting the request. Loved you're voice since forever. I'm glad to have you on this side. Have an excellent weekend... Carpe Diem
