My name is Phoebe and I'm 25 years old. I'm about 5"1' (which I've been told I look taller than I really am, but then people tell me I really am just short.  I am NOT purposely that tiny, i just have high metabollism.

Beliefs: I'm catholic - ish - but I don't press religion and I will NEVER press my religion or my beliefs onto anyone else. I don't normally have this problem but i hate when people try to push their beliefs or themselves on me. I DO NOT like pushy people and i'm not a pushy person myself. So DON'T F'ING push me.

I believe in the golden rule and if i don't like people i usually try to be as civil as i possibly can be to them.

My Heritage: I am portuguese (50%) and german, english, dutch, celt, native american, and... a whole bunch of other ones. To be honest. I am just myself though.

To be honest, I consider myself more "latina" because i'm too "white" to be hispanic, but i'm too "ethnic looking" to be white. I often get asked if I am Arabic, Italian, or Jewish. (BTW WHY!? Why jewish!? I DON'T understand.) I usually just laugh at those people and tell them "No, and BY the way, to be jewish is a RELIGION, NOT an ethnicity."

Important things to me:

My family is very important to me. I try to keep them as one of my top priorities, although, as you get older, that gets difficult to do.

My S.O. / Boyfriend / Best Friend  - Patrick actually happens to be both my boyfriend and best friend. I know that we can share everything together and it took me some time to find him and while we have had some really rough times, he is the only person I would ever want to be with and share my life with, Who knew, right!?

My FOREVER GOOD FRIENDS ( I will have a hub page about this actually) I had an experience this year where I actually found out who my REAL true  GOOD friends WERE. These people are my FOREVER friends, and I know that I can trust them with my life and with EVERYTHING I might have to say. I can't say that for many people but my boyfriend - who is also my best friend, and my family.


New Friends: I am friends with EVERYONE, but I have very few close friends. That doesn't mean I don't have close relationships with new friends after a while, but my forever friends, bestfriend/boyfriend, family are going to trump it all!

FOOD: Oh my god, I think this is probably my MOST FAVORITE topic in the world. That and music.

LOOK, I am a foody! I LOVE food. Food is probably my FAVORITE subject. I love all facets of food. ALL of them. I try EVERYTHING at LEAST 3 times, JUST to make sure I can make an educated descision.
I am not vegetarian, but I love vegetables and salads, and I will indulged in vegetarian cuisin.e alot!
I love to cook, and I love to eat food - even though most people scorn me because I don't look like it
I eat alot of pasta, rice, fish, pork or poultry. I love veal and lamb as well, but i eat very little beef - mostly because I am not a huge fan of beef but i DO love a good steak! 

What I like to do to stay fit:  I like doing yoga, body sculpting, hiking, rock climbing, running on tread mills, taking long walks, fencing, and actually alot of things.


My Goals: I have WAYY too many goals.  Traveling the world: ALL OF IT. Feeding the hungry in MY country as well as the rest of the world. I am going to change the world - some how! Whether it's protesting peacefully and encouraging we change our current administrations in our OWN country to be more state-run and state based, raising awareness in the population of healthy eating by posting and trying new recipes for deliscious and affordable food, or discussing patterns or learning new things and picking up another few hobbies or something that help inspire, enrich, motivate, and move people.  I want to make a difference in the world.
