About Me:
I'm a pretty open and eclectic person, I've traveled most of Europe and the US and am pretty independent. I'm very close with my family so I'm lucky in that respsect. I don't like bullshit or useless protocol. I'm small and Italian-American! I speak Italian and French, understand a good amount of Spanish, and am picking up Korean here and there. I'm a sweet and loving person with a good sense of humor even though I can't tell jokes, but others seem to enjoy that. I love meeting new people and am always looking forward to new experiences. I'm pretty laid back most of the time and like to socialize, although I can also be a loner - I like my alone time too. As a creative person, I need that time to regenerate. I go places by myself and I like to observe life. I am sincere and generous, passionate and don't forget feisty (I am a Sicilian-Scorpio, after all...). I love to laugh. I love blood moons, tornadic weather, and eating saltine crackers in the snow. They're better that way. For more info check out my myspace profile, I've got a little blog-thingy goin' there:

Who I Want to Meet:
Anyone who is similar to me or the opposite, as long as you are kind and intelligent and have a good sense of humor. Sincerity and tenderness combined with sarcasm and wit is a winning combination in my eyes. I'm crappy at telling jokes (actually, I only have one, it is about a panda bear who kills a waiter- trust me, it sucks), so I leave the 'being funny' to other people. I'm funny unintentionally, I've been told... I don't like people who are pretentious or take themselves or anything too seriously. Be honest and yourself and we'll probably get along.

is that he didn't mean to sound lustful.
Anyway, what the EF am I doing writing a
testimonial for Serena during finals!? Just that
she's gorgeous, charming and multi-talented.
This one time, she lost a cherished earring,
only to find it again a day later at the
restaurant she dined at the night before. Her
art stirs my soul. Capishe?
