I'm here from January and in time you have known something about me and I have known something about you (about some of you ^_^).

May be funny if I tell you 5 things about me that I've never wrote here before. Sure, five curious, funny or simply nice (or creepy??? Maybe!) things about me and my life that you've never read before. ^_^

Let's start!

1) The men and the beauty.

Maybe I have a strange or distorted ideal of beauty, but when I was young I like so much John Malcovich! Yes, it's true! He has very little eyes and very few hair, but I thoughts he was really beutiful, more than Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. Now, the actor that (for me) represent the ideal of beauty is Sean Bean, important nose and many wrinkles, but so fascinating! ^_^

2) Movies.

After dinner, I love to watch something good on the tv while I'm in relax on the sofa, but I have to say that my favorite movies are the horror movies. An excellent horror movie (my favorite is always Shining!) make me feel good and in peace with myself more than every other movies. I have a special "love" for the movies about ghost and hunted house! Just good movie, not B-movie, please! ^_^

3) Horror movies and love.

Yes, maybe you think it was strange, but the horror movies was a part af courting ritual between me and my hubby! We both loved (and love) horror movie and for aour first date he asked me to go to the cine to watch an horror movie! Sweety!

4) Books.

Before to start my path in the fantastic world of art, I was a great reader, always with a book of my hands! Now I'm a good reader, but less than before because I have always brushes in my hands ^_^

When I want to read something to relax my mind I read a noir book (my favorite writer is James Ellroy) or horror book (sure, Stephen King, but also Dean Koontz, E.A. Poe, from gotic to contemporary!). H.P. Lovecraft said "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.".

Yes, fear is one of the oldest and strongest emotion and it's a part of everyone of us. Fear can save us from bad situation, like an alert for our mind that thanks to fear pay attention to the situation that can hurt us. If we think about fear as an ally, we can use it to take care of ourselves. In the past, fear was inside me for many days and many nights. Not an irrational fear, but the fear of something real. Time teached me that the fear was not one of my enemies, but an ally. Thanks to fear, all my senses were set off and I was always ready to take care of my self and my daughter. So, every times I read an horror book, I exercise my senses to set off (even if now I'm not endangered ^_^)

5) I studies in 3 different fields at the University:

I was a young mom, so I started the University after than usual. I started studying Law (it was not for me, more walls and little imagination in the Italian Laws ^_^), after, I changed faculty and I studied Psychology. I love to study everything in that field, from biology to the different approaches in the clinic treatment, but after more than half of the study (I worked too in the office for 8 hours/day) , the manager of the office where I worked as employed offered me an important career advancement. More money, but no more time to study. I said yes to the career (even if after 10 years I decided to leave that job, but this is anothe story! ^_^). After 2 years, I tried to start again at the University choosing Business School. Yes, it's the story of my life, after some exams I stopped again. Even if I don't get a degree, I'm happy of my paths because thanks to them I learned many different things in many different fields and maybe when I will old (very old,more than now) I'll try again a new path at the University, at now I'm too busy with my art ^_^

See ya soon
