Wanna know more about me?

         ~                    ~          



You stopped by here for a reason, am I right?







Yes, the first thing you saw was me. It's my Portfolio, I can put up anything I want, maybe even your picture.
But, if you stopped by to get to know me better.. read some more and enjoy your stay.


"The long Journey"  This would be the short version of my life up until now. Check it out!


Age:

Actually it's rude to ask a lady her age, but here it is anyway 28. Oh, how the years go by.


Gender:

Female (a tomboy at heart)


Birthday:

November 10th, Scorpio; and proud of it


Looks:

Not too shabby! I have my moments


Hair color:

Originally, brown. Right now, grayish-blonde. It didn't turn out the way I thought it would


Eyes:

Dakr brown (didn't dare to change that)


Hight:

5'5 or 5'4 the people who gave me my drivers licence keep making me shorter


Weight:

This is a question no one should ever ask


Favorite color:

Blue, most of the time


Languages spoken:

Bosnian (Serbo-Croatian), German and English (these days mostly English only). I'd like to learn many more but I'm too lazy for it


Occupation:

I'm not the kind of person who'll change jobs easily, unless I'm really not satisfied. So after six years of Dental Assisting, I quit. The job itself was great as well as the people I worked with. So you're wondering why I quit then? Simple, I had to quit smoking and I didn't agree with him, so instead I quit the job. So, after about four months of just hanging aroudn the house, I went to Germany for two months. Realizing that, even though I used to live there, my life had changed, I came back and applied for a job as a Flight Attendant. For the longest time I looked at it as a dream job, because, it simply didn't seem something one could aquire easily. however, I landed the job and I've been a Flight Attendant for the past two years. I love the job, the people I work with and most places we go to. Hey, it's not every day one can say "I just had lunch in Florida and I'll have dinner in Maine". Sadly, my company doesn't leave the US but at least I get the option to travel. Some don't have that luxury.

As for the writing, it was something I always liked to do. Perhaps I'm not a steady writer, but I'm hoping one day I'll write something worth publishing.Even thought I have some poems published and am proud of it, it'd be nice to publish a novel.


Bad habbits:

I like to put my right leg under my rear end and sit on it. Sounds interesting, doesn't it? I'm not a morning person and I don't like going to bed early. However, with my new occupation, there are instances where I don't sleep at all during the night; whenever I have an early morning show that is. I can be messy, lazy and very moody sometimes. You just got to love me for it because I'll probably never change that.


Good habits:

I'm a very responsible person. I care a lot about other people; sometimes it's not such a good thing, but I can't help it.


Favorite foods:

I'm up for anything, as long as no one pushes the matter with food. Spending a lot of time at the airports doesn't give you a chance to really eat healthy, but I try whenever I have the chance.


Food I don't like:

Green beans, anchovies, olives. Mexican and Chinese are on my 'Don't like' list, but I still had Mexican and it wasn't too bad.


Favorite time of year:

Depends on the country. I'm starting to love the hot, humid summers in Missouri. Winters are the best in Germany. Lots of snow. I would still pick autumn over other seasons.


Favorite City/Cities:

With all my traveling, it's hard to decide. Each city has something different, even though most big cities seem so much alike. I love Burlington, Vermont, and Portland, Maine in the summers. They are nothing alike though. Burlington reminds me a lot of Europe. It even smells like it; the air is clean, fresh, with trees and woods everywhere around. It's a quiet city where people preserve everything and anything they can. Church Street is a great place to do some shopping and walking around and you'll get the feel you're in Europe because the street is closed up for cars. It's a very enviroment-friendly city with a beautiful scenery.

Portland on the other hand, has the smell of sall in the air mixed with a hint of fresh fish by the harbor. The old Port, which is the old downtown of Portland, has plenty to offer. shops of all sorts, restaurants that offer more than just seafood, the fish market, faries which will take you to the islands, local bars; all kinds of quirks. It's a friendly place to visit. Athough, if you don't like the cold, avoid both these places in winter time. It can get brutal.

San Francisco is a place we don't travel to but I had the chance to spend a few days there on vacation and I have to say that that city is all that it's cracked up to be. The reason why I wanted to visit that particular city was igrnited by reading too many Daniele Steel books. I could always picture the place but never in the world have I imagined it to be so beautiful. The weather isn't your picture perfect summer time. The wind is chilly and it rarely gets over 80 degrees but the view of the city on a clear day is amazing. I have to admit I fell in love with it at first sight. I stayed for four days and I still didn't manage to see it all so I'm hoping to go back again, sometime.

Chicago is also a place one really should visit. The Sears Towers who are apparently about to change the name, are amazing and the view is a little bit different than I'd thought, but I'll let you decide for yourself when you go there. There are plenty of places to see once you get to Downtown and one day isn't going to be enough.

There are many more places I'd recommend, like San Antonio, the Riverwalk, Denver, Norfolk, Virginia, Jacksonville, Florida as well as some other but it'd be too much to write it all here.


Sports I like:

Car racing (Formula 1 or Nascar), Basketball, Soccer once in a great while, figure scating, hockey, Tennis.. I'm just not a huge fan of anyone.


Sport I hate:

American Football (sorry!), dislike Boxing - never saw the point of that sport, and I'm getting tired of the Cards. That's right!


Sports I was involved in:

Tennis, Karate, Folklore (dancing), running

Gave up on it because: Bad knees


Activities I still do:

Tennis was always a big passion so I do it whenever I get the chance. Bike riding, Skating, Rollerblading


Other hobbies: Reading will always be the biggest passion of all. I have over thousands of books in my house and I love the fact that I can just pick one out and read it whenever I feel like it. I hate libraries. My problem is returning the books I love. So, instead of going to library, I buy my own and keep them. There's nothng better than the smell of a book and no matter how many gadgets people come up with to read a book through a computer, I'll never buy it. It simply isn't the same.

I'm a collector you could say. I have numerous key chains from different places, as well as snowglobes and shot glasses. I learned to slow down though. It can get expensive. Love to work with beads and make friendship bracelets as well. Scrapbooking is a lot of fun, too, as long as I have the time. Making those can be very time consuming and I'd hate to make it just to make it.


Things I like to do when I have a minute of free time:

As you can see I have plenty of things to keep me busy. Still, there's always time to find other things to preoccupy a person. I discovered that I enjoy cooking. Living at home, yes, even at this age, I don't really get a chance to do much of it, but I do it whenever mom can't. I've also realized that I don't go by the cook book. I think of something and simply add the ingridience that seem to work with it. So far, no one has complained about my cooking. Guess you could say I like to experiment. Thankfully, it turns out good every time.


Books I like:

Romance would be my #1 choice when it comes to books. I am a big dreamer after all and historical romance is something one doesn't really get to experience. Books that contain anything out of the ordinary such as magic, non-existent, vampires, I enjoy reading it. Stephen King has managed to creep into my collection and I have to say, I love the way he writes.


Movies:

Anything! No docu/drama. Favorite movie I'd say 'Only you' with Robert Downey Jr. and Marissa Tomey, just because it's a fairy tail in modern life. There are better movies, action movies included.


Favorite actor:

The one and only Johnny Depp There are many great actors, I just chose this one, because I've had a crush on him for the longest time ever.


Favorite actress:

Tough one. Jodie Foster and Kathrine Zeta-Jones possibly.


Things I like or enjoy:

I have a very playful personality. I'm also the 'go with the flow' kind of gal. I enjoy anything romantic, fun, exciting. I'm not much of a dare devil, but I like to try things out that seem out of my league. Life itself is something one should enjoy. I love presents that don't require a special occasion. Little things in life make me happy.


Things I hate:

you don't really have to know that


Animals I like:

cats, dogs, dolphins, tigers, coala bears


Animals I'm affraid of:

no way am I telling you this! You might want to scare me!

Conclusion:

Full of life! If you can sweep my off my feet, I'll follow you to the end of the world. The simple moments are the most precious ones in my life. Enjoying life to the fullest for as long as I can.


A note from the Author:

You can comment, judge, whatever makes you happy.

I can be very difficult at times, but more than not, I'm a fun person to be around. You don't have to share my view on anything, but that's what makes us special and individual.
