Ok, so I totally have a story to tell you. I was in the pub watching Barcelona play Real Madrid with my cousin. I was rooting for Real, yes, because of Ronaldo and because it seemed everyone else was a Barca fan. Ok, I know back to the story. So there we were sitting at our table and a giant spider runs across the table, my cousin is such a wimp; he can barely lift his own arms, let alone save me from a giant spider. I jumped up, took my cousin’s half-full beer (no use in wasting my beer) and smashed the spider. All while screaming.

I am a fun, adventurous and smart girl who will try anything twice. The 1st time I went skiing, way back in High School, I tore all the ligaments in my knee. The next year I got lessons, and now, while I am not the best or fastest skier I do love it. Then there was the time I saved my sister and her friend from a king snake while hiking.

I have an involved but fun family- think my big fat Greek wedding, only Persian.
