5 THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME -

WHY THE CITY LIFE?

A new beginning to a new end and all of that jazz. Montana's the best, really, love the folk, but sometimes you want to try something new. So, I packed up and moved. My parents were all for it, a little hesitant at first, but I promised holiday visits and they let off it. I figured I'd try my luck in the city of angels, you know? See how life treats me.

DESCRIBE THE PEOPLE/FEEL OF YOUR BUILDING/NEIGHBORHOOD.

I mean it's not Paris Hilton's house, but it's home. I live around a lot of Hispanics, which works fine for me since I am one. It's a pretty rough neighborhood, but the people in my building love me and look out for me. They say I remind them of someone in their family and always invite me for dinner and parties and the lot. I mean they're not all Hispanic, but even those that aren't tolerate me. Plus, no one wants to piss Bo off. He's pretty intimidating and he's already bit some crazy dude that started yelling at me one time because of some bullshit I don't even remember. So, there's that.

WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE IN THE PAST 5 YEARS?

I've stopped most of the bad habits I had, but some are too hard to kick. There's still a 60% chance of me becoming a jail statistic in the near future, but I"m more aware than I was then. I try to keep my nose out of anything out of my pay-grade, if you get my drift. I don't have the time nor money to spare for stupid mistakes and I can't be bothered to deal with most of the things that come with it. I've also stopped doing most of the illegal things I've gotten in trouble before, but we'll leave those on a need-to-know basis. .

HOW CAN SOMEONE TELL IF YOU'RE LYING OR GUILTY?

I've been told that when it really comes down to it, I"m a horrible liar. I can't lie to save my life, really. I chew on my lip when I'm lying, avert my gaze, the whole nine. I have this habit of still trying to attempt it, but everyone that knows me calls my bluff almost instantly. I'm an open book.

DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL MORALS:

I tend to go by the 'if you don't like it, don't do it to someone else' motto. I mean, I'm not the best at following it, but I try to be sensitive to other people's personality quirks and sensitivity. I don't sleep with anyone I wouldn't date and I don't help anyone that I don't like. It's simple like that and you'll know if I don't like you or not, so it's not that dreary of a reading. Oh and I sometimes decide I want to help old ladies across the street. Do I get a girl scout badge?

HOW MIGHT SOMEONE ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION?

I've got a bad habit of falling for guys that land me in trouble even though I'm trying to turn over a new leaf. I can't help it. The whole 'dark and mistaken' thing is just too much for my loins to deny.

ONE LOVES OR MANY LOVES? WHY?

It depends on the time, you know? Sometimes I"m infatuated with one and sometimes a few people catch my eye. Trial and error.

A FAVORITE KIND OF KISS?

The unexpected kind, always.

WOULD YOU RATHER RELIVE YOUR GREATEST MOMENT OR REDO YOUR WORST MISTAKE? EXPLAIN.

I wouldn't do either, to be honest, because they both remind me of memories that I have tried my hardest to cast out and make a new mold for myself. You dwell on the past enough, good or bad, and you forget why it's the past.

" I have one of those weirdly tight knit families. The leisurely parents that are like kids themselves, we laugh and eat dinner at the table, and we work together. We rarely argued and it was usually my brother and I arguing anyway. I mean, I have a good life and a good family. They're supportive, sweet, and I'd do anything to make them happy. We all get along pretty well, but my mother's ridiculous with her prom queen issues and need to be the prettiest woman in Monatana. She drives me wild sometimes when she obsesses over my clothes or my hair or me not smiling and all of that, but I get over it pretty quickly. That's what mom's do and it's better than what I could have grown up around. "

I was born in Panama, but I don't remember any of that. Story is I was an abuse case, rotten father and an irresponsible mother landed me in the adoption agency. I was three when I was adopted by the De Mata's and I hadn't spoken a word since I was first brought into the agency. I don't remember much, but it wasn't a place a kid should be in. The people didn't care about us and we didn't know any better but to hope these people loved us because our parents didn't. Our sense of self-worth was tested each day we were in there and, traumatized, I didn't speak for three years even after being adopted by my new family. Why the De Mata's decide to adopt me from Panama, I don't know, but I'm happy they did. My father owned a ranch about ten minutes from town and he bred show horses and racers as well as cattle and other livestock. My mother was a pageant queen and her father a wealthy oil tycoon, but apparently she never cared for that. She just tried to get me to do pageants for three years. The amount of hairspray they use in those things is against moral code. My dad got me on the back of a horse whenever my mom wasn't trying to put me in dresses telling her, 'Selma, leave the girl alone. She obviously doesn't want to play dress up in those ridiculous dresses.' and she'd turn red and huff and walk away. I started Rodeo when I was eleven in small, kiddie groups and moved on to a seven year gold medal holding until my horse got spooked one evening as I was training and I broke my arm in several placed. I quit soon after because I felt like I couldn't catch up to what I had missed in that time span. If no one asks, I won't bring it up and if people say they recognize me, I pretend they have me mistaken because that's a part of my life I just can't touch anymore, you know? I moved to California two years ago for school, dropped out, and now I work at a local medicinal shop and as a side gig I secretly train horses for barrels. Guess you can't knock all your old habits. I don't know what I want to do with my life now, but I figured a move would kind of help me figure that out. Hasn't worked yet.
