The Basics

I might be late for this, but here it goes!

What’s your name?
Uuuummm I’ll just say I hate it, so I go by my last name, which is Luna.

How old are you? When is your birthday?
I’m 19. I was born on May 6th.

Where are you from?
Mexico. I was born in Guadalajara, but I’ve lived in Monterrey since I was like… one or two.

Do you know a second language? How did you learn it?
Yes. English is my second language. I’ve been in English courses ever since I can remember, but when I was around 14 it really started to interest me. I knew the basics already and I could understand it, but I couldn’t speak it very well, so I started reading books in English, and eventually I started to write. Honestly, I find it the best way to learn. (Hopefully someday I get to pronounce it properly, though lol).

I can also understand a bit of Portuguese, if that counts.

Are you a writer or a reader?
Um, both. I think I read more than I write lately, because I read whenever I can but I keep my writing a secret, so I can only write sometimes.

Are you on any social networking/blogging sites? Which one is your favorite?
Just facebook, but I rarely log in. I don't go online lately because of school and because my computer is really slow, but when I do I just log into Mibba, if anything.

How many siblings do you have? What are they like?
One. He’s a total pain. Sometimes I think he hates me, but he’s really overprotective and caring at the same time. Sometimes he hugs me randomly, but he’s also told me things like, “Remember: I hate you in public.” AND HE FUCKING MEANS IT. He can be my best friend or my worst enemy, no joke.

Do you have any pets? What are their names?
Yes. Two cats, Hardy and Pumpkin.

What's your dream career?
I could probably say musician right now, but I really like what I’m studying so far, which is architecture.

How tall are you?
1.61 meters, which is like 5’2”.

What color is your hair? Your eyes?
Dark brown eyes, dark brown hair.

Do you have any tattoos or body piercings? Would you like to get one?
No, actually I don’t even have both ears pierced (just one). But I would like to get an industrial piercing and maybe a tattoo someday.

Do you have good handwriting?
You’d think by studying architecture and having tons of teachers after you saying “YOU DON’T JUST WRITE. YOU DRAW LETTERS,” I’d have good handwriting, but it’s actually pretty fugly.

If you chose your own name, would would you have chosen?
Julia, Olivia, María, or Liliana. My parents were going to name me Ileana, and I really wish they had.

Do you believe in ghosts (or anything else supernatural)?
Uuuummm I don’t believe in ghosts--like, souls that never got to find peace or something. I believe more in demons toying with people. I do believe in extraterrestrials, though.

If you had to read one book over and over again until the end of time, what would it be?
Still Midnight by Denise Mina. I’m reading it for the second time right now, actually, totally adore it.
