25 random things about me

1) I love my family above all. I am still a "mama's boy" and will be lost if she "goes" first. Although I know the other way around would be unbearable to her.
2) My siblings and I actually DO get along. We are friends.
3) I have 3 adoptive families (who consider me like their son/brother). 1 in Guadeloupe, 1 in France, and 1 in the US.
4) My best friends are listed under "Family" in my address book.
5) I have lived in 11 cities in 3 countries (Guadeloupe, France, USA) in 41 years.
6) I have lived in 5 cities in the US (Highwood and Chicago in IL-San Francisco, San Mateo and San Diego in CA).
7) I have been a Flight Attendant for 14 years and still love it even though our working conditions have been deteriorating since 9/11.
8) I have traveled quite a bit (for work and for pleasure). I love discovering new places, cultures, foods, etc...
9) Most memorable trip: Egypt. I will go back because there is so much I did NOT get to see. Ancient Egyptian history has always fascinated me.
10) Most beautiful city in the world: Paris, France. The "City of lights" still holds the number 1 spot for me. You have to stroll down its streets and enjoy the surrounding beauty and history to understand.
11) Favorite lay-over: Sydney, Australia. This city is just the perfect mix of ancient and modern architecture complimenting one another. The harbor is beautiful. The people are also extremely nice.
12) I speak 3 languages fluently (French, Creole, English) and I can get by in Spanish. I want to learn Portuguese, Italian and Japanese but am too lazy.
13) I don't have a favorite book or a favorite movie, but I love books and movies. I wish I could read more.
14) My favorite song of all times is "Sailing" by Christopher Cross. (Please do not laugh!) I don't know why but hearing just the intro gives me goose bumps. No other song does this to me. Another song that helps me relax and calm down is "Lucia Di Lammermoor" performed by Inva Mulla Tchako (on "The Fifth Element" soundtrack).
15) I always have been artistic. They say that is a characteristic of Pisces.
16) My first passion was dancing (from 10 to 17yo; I thought I was pretty good)
17) I have always loved to sing as well (I never thought I was good). Ironic that I joined the Chorus.
18) I know how to sew, knit, crochet, do embroideries (thanks to mom).
19) I wish I knew how to draw, paint, sculpt, play an instrument...I admire people who do.
20) I love being on stage with the Chorus and I love producing shows for the Chorus.
21) My favorite colors are olive green and burgundy.
22) My favorite foods are (in that order) Mexican food, Caribbean food, French food.
23) I have been single for almost 5 years. My boyfriends tend to leave town!!!
24) I think I'm Cinderella and my Prince will come on a white horse.
25) I need to be the Prince.
