  • Interests: I love to be around people who enjoy me for me. I love to go to bed late, get up late, and still see the sunrise (maybe in heaven).

  • Best meal ever: I got back from working at my uncle's house one day. I was staining his fence and had spent the past day, morning and evening, sucking up paint fumes. I was dehydrated, exhausted, a minor headache, almost delirious. I go back to my Grandma's and she makes me dinner... all it is is steaming rice, and garden grown tomatos and cucumbers with a little soy sauce on top. At that moment I believed it would be possible for me to be a vegetarian.
