About Teresa

Hi! My name is Teresa. I turned 19 years old on November 15, and I just recently signed up on Wikipedia. I live in Peru, most precisely in Lima, the capital city of Peru.
Whatever free time I have for my own, I spend on the university or with my girlfriend. I log in to Wiki usually about once every week, so I'm not here all the time. Recently, though, my family succeeded on destroying my G4, which still loyally functions, though I don't know how it manages to do so. This means won't be logging in as usually as I tended to for a while.
General Info
Birthday - Nov. 15, 1987
Sex - Female
Nationality - Both peruvian and spanish. I inherited my spanish nationality from my grandmother.
Location - Lima, Peru. Will be in Brazil sometime on June or July.
Currently Reading - In cold blood, by Capote; Virginia Woolf's Ms Dalloway (and hating it), and Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo.
Currently Writing - Nothing. I am beginning something I had in mind for a while, but not paying much attention to it. I was also recently aproached with a project of a column in a newspaper, but I don't seem to have much time to write it.
Wikiversary - Feb. 18, 2007
My studies
I study in the Catholic University of Peru both Art and Literature, though I'm focusing more on arts, at the moment. Nevertheless, I will stop studying arts next semester due to some medical issues.
Arts: I like sculpture the most, though I like to think I'm pretty good painting too. I have already sold several sculptures, most of which were conceptual. I also enjoy urban interventions and am currently working on several projects with other artists.
Literautre I am a fanatic of latin american literature, which I highly recommend. I have, nevertheless, a serious problem with several famous writers, mostly because I personally dislike them. At the moment, I particularly like argentinian poet Alejandra Pizarnik and I have fallen madly in love with Julio Ramon Ribeyro just recently.
I was also recently invited to the MIT and several other expensive american universities. I won't be accepting the invitation mostly because I don't like the social stratification they promote. Also, they don't teach what I study.
My Pets
I currently own a ten-years-old cocker named Musty, an eight-years-old particularly dumb poodle and two yorkies (Ninde and Cockroach). I also own two other baby yorkies, that were born in August from Ninde; their names are Zaphire and Bartholomew. I addition, I also bought a female hedgehog in October 2006, called Astrid; I believe she is plotting something evil, for she follows me around and stares at me all the time.
I also used to own a black horse of a peruvian horse race called "caballo de paso", named Thunder, who died of old age. A fat kinkajou, also died of old age. Several fishes and hamsters, rabbits, squirrels, birds, and four other dogs. Most of those animals were lost or dead of old age (some eaten by the dogs).
My Cars
A White and blue 1980 Camaro Z28 (sold)
A Dark red 1995 Camaro Z28 (I confess, V6)
A Dark blue 2005 VW Polo Sedan (the one I normally use)
A 1973 convertible Corvette (still being fixed, not currently in use)
I liked the most my 80 Z28, but couldn't affort to keep it; it was a v8 (I think it was a 3.2) and it consumed more gas than I could afford, since it's pretty expensive in my country. I will eventually buy a new one and keep it.
I've also worked reconstructing several cars, incluiding a black 68 camaro, a C3 corvette, a pontiac, two firebirds and a 70-something alfa. My most recent project is a 54 mustang.
My favorite car is the second-gen camaro, especially if it's 80-81. I'm still not sure wether I prefer the Z28 version, though. I fell madly in love with the C3 also, but I don't have the time to fix it.
Other Priced Possessions
Two katanas
A chinese sword (for tai chi chuan)
A compressed air rifle
A recurv bow (I'm fonetically translating from spanish, most probably the name is wrong)
A PowerBook G4
A drum set (Pearl)
Two sets of inductive laces (that generate an electromagnatic field and detect the variations)
Three Jose Cuervos (actually, one is almost finished)
Several cocktail shakers (my favorite is a Boston)
A recently bought cachaça
A new router
A CyberShot DSC-P200 (with soooo many accesories)
An almost empty bank account (but I feel like such an adult)
A White 30 Gig Ipod Video
An external 400 Gig hard drive
To Do List
Actually DO something on Wiki.
Buy a new laptop (G5, wait for me!).
Correct several old stories and books (some from ten years ago).
Not fail anything this year (which means actually going to the classes).
Finish my "To Read" list. I can't believe I've been delaying some books.
Install and finish my sculpture from Apr-Jun 2006.
Buy new shoes. About a month ago I visited my mom and she asked me when had I bought those new grey snickers. They were blue.
