Born Vanessa. Goes by Nessa, Nessie or Nice. The first time a friend of mine called me (or should we say screamed?) Nice in the middle of the school I couldn't help but wonder who in the world would keep shouting the name of a french city. Turns out, he was calling me. I got stuck with it since then. I'm named after the british actress, Vanessa Redgrave which proves my theory of being film-related since the day entered this universe. Eighteen years of bursting out laughing in the dead silence for apparently no reason. Portuguese and brunette. I adore the word catharsis.

&: I have a *big* crush on Mark Harmon, who happens to be forty years older than me. I also have my holy trinity and the three women who make part of it can be called as role models for this annoying life. Lena Olin, Mary McDonnell and Meryl Streep.

“The dead were her business. She lived with them, worked with them, studied them. She dreamed of them. And because that didn't seem to be enough, in some deep, secret chamber of her heart, she mourned for them.”
