Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours

Happy Sunday to all!

Since I'm relatively new to the blogging world, and you as readers may be relatively new to me, how bout I do y'all a favor and tell you a little about myself. Fifteen little thiings you should know about me -

1. I simply cannot stress enough - I freaking love living in Southern California. There's nothing better than getting to school and smelling salt water in the air as you drive across the Coronado Bridge overlooking Downtown SD. Born and raised California girl.

2. I wish I was alive during the 1960's. I'm a complete hippie at heart - plus the music of that time is my favorite. Beatles, Byrds, Beach Boys, oh my! <3

3. I am Mexican-American-Iranian. Kind of a strange combination, but the advantages are delicious food and being trilingual :)

4. It's a dream of mine to live in New York City for at least a year when I'm older. I love that city.

5. My dream job is to write for The New York Times. (It helps that I wouldnt mind moving there at all.) If I don't make it, I can settle with writing for Rolling Stone, The New Yorker or Vogue. I just want to be in journalism.

6. I'm a Leo. Fierce, passionate, creative, sometimes bossy, sometimes vain, but über social, funny and energetic.

7. Ironically, I' m deathly allergic to cats. And basil.

8. For my 16th birthday, I don't want an Audi or a Benz. I want a VW Bus. Grooviest cars on the planet. A Prius will also do - can you tell I'm a liberal yet? ;)

9. This may sound terrible, but I never want to have more than one child. I break the stereotype that all women have a nurturing instinct - my genes must not have gotten the memo. I would like to be a mother, but one is the most I can handle.

10. I paint a lot. I doodle a lot. I laugh a lot. I daydream a lot. I write a lot, and I read a lot. I think it's important to dance often, and to sing in the shower.

11. I force myself to watch the news - and listen to everyone's opinion. Including those of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, the funniest mnen in their field.

12. My dream school would be UC Berkeley - you guessed it. They have a brilliant school of journalism. And I love San Francisco.

13. I got a guitar last Christmas - and I'm trying reallyreallyreallyreally hard not to give up on it yet. I have learned a few songs....just a few....

14. Five favorite things : steak, the beach, my watercolor paints and paper, my iPod touch, and movie nights with friends.

15. I'm pretty confident in myself that whatever it is I end up doing, I'll be happy. They say if you choose a job you love to do, you'll never work a day in your life.

You may say that Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one - John Lennon, my idol and inspiration.

joyous end of week to all, enjoy it while you can!
love, nat
