        upper right leg, tribal blue, mischievous-looking sun (devious like me).  I have three earrings in each ear.  I did have my
        nose pierced with a tiny diamond stud in it (looked Hella sweet), but it fell out one night while I was sleeping and closed
        up, and it hurt too bad when I tried to reinsert it!  Oh...and more tattoos to come, one day, as money permits!!!

       mayonnaise, chile, lemon juice, butter, and Mexican cheese), and barbecoa (stewed beef).

Q:    Who are the people in your life that you could have fun, just sitting and talking with all night?
A:    I have to say three people for this one.  For a girl, I have to say Sharon.  We have such a history together, and we always
        have fun whenever we talk and goof off.  Plus we both have an equally sick and distorted sense of humor and outlook on
        life.  We also share a lot of past experiences and current ones, in common, so it helps us to relate to one another.  I truly
        feel blessed to have someone like her in my life, who understands everything about me.  For a guy, I have to say Tony.  I
        have known him, only online, and only for a short period of time, but we have this connection.  I feel comfortable saying
        anything to him, and he understands me, no matter how incoherently I ramble on and on, LOL.  He is also a super
        pervert like me, so that helps, LOL!  In a bit of a different sense, I have to say Kelley as my third.  For those of you that
        don't know him, he's my 15 year old "son" I adopted on Everquest, LOL!  I have known Kel, as I call him, for almost a
        year now.  he was one of the first people I met in my old guild, and one of the first to really help me out in the game.
        Plus, we can read each other's minds...and I mean that!  You have no clue how many times, out of nowhere, we can type
        exactly the same thought, and sometimes worded exactly the same, too!  Freaky!!!

Q:    What are your favorite chips?
A:    Okay my all-time favorite are these chips you can get in places with a large Hispanic population, called Sabrositas.  (That
        literally means "little tasties".)  They are made by Frito-Lay, and they are essentially the corn chips, but seasoned with
        lime and chile - YUMMY!!!  Chips that I can buy locally, I have to say Cool Ranch Doritos, even though they give you
        God-awful breath after eating them, LOL!

Q:    What is your dream in life?
A:    Number one and priority - for the very best life possible for my children.  My dream has always been to be involved in the
        natural health field somehow, and eventually own my own herb shop/clinic.  I will make that dream happen, it will
        just take some time.  Another dream of mine was to become a martial artist.  I am living that dream now - and I'm
        unstoppable!!!  I also dream of one day going to Mexico, or any other Central/South American country and either study
        briefly under a curandero(a) (medicine man/woman) and/or also volunteering in some sort of relief project.

Q:    What are your favorite drinks?
A:    Alcoholic - Colorado Bulldog.  Pop - orange pop is my once a month indulgence, as I don't drink pop much.  Other -
        WATER!!!  I drink water non-stop! (It's the only good habit I can say I have, LOL!)  I also love limonada, Mexican
        lemonade.  And yes, Mexican lemonade is different than lemonade here, LOL!

Q:    Who came up with these questions, so far?
A:    I DID, you doofus!  Plus I borrowed a bunch of them from my sweetheart Tracee and her  webpage  - check it out!
