Writing is one of my interests. Currently, I am trying to adapt a screenplay idea I had into a novel. I love to travel. I did quite a bit of traveling during the 4 years I worked in the travel industry. I went to Bora Bora a few years back... haven't really left. I try my hand at culinary arts every now and then and I enjoy hiking and photography. I love the outdoors, especially the beach (when no one else is there :)
MOVIES
I have a Bachelor degree in film, so I have too many favorites to mention and all for various reasons.
MUSIC
My music taste is broad. I like most genres. I have gone through various international music phases - Flamenco/Spanish guitar being one of my favorites for relaxing or cooking to.
BOOKS
New Evidence That Demands a Verdict, The Sacred Romance, Wild at Heart
The sarcastic comment, "Shhh, you're talking too much", or any variation of it. It's usually made in jest by some well meaning person trying to break my silence. I, however, have grown tired of hearing it.
ABOUT ME
My quietness is often misunderstood, and thus, I am often mis-characterized. I only recently started recognizing my issues as social anxiety. Looking back, I think around 6th grade is when it started to take over. I had a couple of close girl friends in high school, but at 16 I lost touch with them due to a family move and haven't had any since. Serious relationships have never been a problem, because I do well with one close person in my life. Up until now I have preferred my isolation, but I suddenly realized I am now 30 and have not been living my life to the fullest. I have joined this site in hopes of making some much needed friends who can understand my perspective.

Hey Shan, so have you been keeping busy? I haven't done much this week, but my aunt had us over on Saturday for some crabs and shrimp. Did you watch any of "America's Got Talent"? I just watched the finale tonight, the final five were pretty good! "Dancing with the Stars" is back too, I'm so happy! Have you heard about the fourth judge being added to "American Idol"? I'm not sure what I think of it, I'll guess we'll see how it goes. I hope you're doing well, take care.
