Hi,
My name is Ana Letícia Melo Viana and I`m 13 years old.
I`m short and have a medium build. My hair is curly and used to be light brown, but I dyed it to red. However, because of my swimming classes it changed colors, and now it is a composition of light brown, red and blond. But I don´t think it looks bad, I think it looks cool.
I don´t have a favorite band. Actually I like song that I can dance. I don´t know if you have that kinds of music there, but I love to dance forró and axé. The only kind of music that I don´t lilke is rock, mostly because I don´t understand what the singers are singing.
I like cartoons, filmes, some soap operas and series.
I like to hang out with friends, sleep, eat, talk with friends on msn or orkut, shop, go to movie theaters and do funny things. I don´t like to do my homework, to wake up early, to be hungry and I don´t like when I dodn´t sleep enough.
I have a mother and a father, evidently, plus a brother and a sister. I´m the oldest.
I live in Brasilia, D.F., in an area called Park Way. I like to live here.
Although we don´t have beaches here, we have many shoppings, many places to hang out and I have many friends here. The last one is the best part.
So, what do you think about me? And what could you tell me about you? Is it nice to live in Argentina? Do you have orkut, msn or something like this?
Kisses and cookies,
Ana Letícia
