It;s pretty satisfying isn't it? I have so many canvas's in my house, I'm running out of room for them!
Okay...here goes... How much should I reveal???1. I am a Muslim. Converted to Islam about 20 years. Best decision of my life.
2. Have four kids...two older step daughters and two teenagers of my own...I was a terrible mother when they were young..but now, I'm much better. I realized...I cannot relate to kids younger than 10. The lack of logic makes me crazy.
3. Further related to teenagers...I teach middle school and love it...it is like riding on a hormone roller coaster...and you never know what's around the next bend...keeps life exciting
4. I've been a vampire addict since I was young..I loved Dark Shadows..had the comic books. Watched The Lost Boys a gazillion times..even used a quote from it for my yearbook quote..and loved Interview with a Vampire...until Tom Cruise, though..:(
5. I live in New York...the state, not the city. Born and raised here...and never get to go anywhere! Once traveled to London, after dying to go there since childhood...it was 7 days of bliss.. :) Not that I don't love Upstate New York...of course..

1. I just found out that I have two years to learn a third language fluently because they just changed the requirements for the master-degree I want to start after finishing my bachelor and Latin unfortunately doesn't count as third language2. Although I hate knitwear I love knitting and crocheting which is kind of annoying cause I won't wear any of the things I made...
3. Since I moved out at my parent's I've become quite the coffee and tea addict although before I couldn't stand the taste of either
4. After I moved in with my girlfriend we banned all book-, cd- and dvd-shelves and piles from our bed- and living-rooms because we both tend to just put all our stuff all over the place and that would mean endless chaos. Now there's only chaos in our studies ^^
5. I attended a catholic girls-school. I chose the school because my mother didn't want me to and it was the only time I severely regretted doing something just to annoy my mother

3. I love being crafty and doing DIY things.
4. I could eat pizza every day if I'd let myself.
5. I'm an only child
5 things about me:1.I'm 21 years old
