I'm a cuban american princess (and for my mother I will give a shout out to the fact that I'm second generation Mexican-American on my mother's side...love you mom!) who lives in orange county and I manage a luxury tanning salon full time. I have a wonderfully disfunctional family and I wouldn't trade them in for all the money in the world...they are more important than you, just so we're clear on that...I would take on an army for them and I'm a feisty bitch so I'm sure I would win ahahaha. Anyway, I'm extremely independent but I'm not too proud to realize there are times I need help. 
Things I love: of course family, great friends, meeting new people, being right, having extra money, my job, puppies, when I have a great tan, frozen yogurt, bottle service, Las Vegas, bottle service IN Las Vegas, conservative politics ( I heart Bill O'Reilly), funny movies, time off/ vacations, learning new things, devastating love songs, good mascara, kareoke and stiff cocktails.
Things I don't exactly "heart" if you will: children crying in public places, protestors (especially extremists), liberally biased media (that means NO on Oprah), sad movies, when people sit next to me in a theater and there are CLEARLY a lot more empty seats that happen to not be right next to me, hypocrites (especially religious people who "spread the word" and have no actions to show they're even good people yet they're convinced they're "saved") customers who ask me for a "deal", flakes, codependency, insecurity, redistribution, dirty laundry, self absorbed people and cockroaches.
