My name is Mariana, but you can call me Nana (like nuh-nuh- I have learned from experience that even my four letter nickname can be mangled as much as my Latina-as-hell given name can).
I'm twenty-one, I'm queer, I'm a writer, and I've been compared to Lauren Bacall and Michelle Rodriguez. Both of which are worthy, I think.
I'm studying cinema, creative writing, and Latin American studies at NYU, but my friends will tell you I major in eyeliner, media criticism, and subverting the patriarchy. I want to go to grad school for cinema studies. Essentially my life plans are to be a starving artist.
I watch TV like it's nobody's business (I'm in the middle of a Criminal Minds marathon as I type this), I am practiced in the art of matching my nail polish to whatever novel I'm reading at the time, and I live by the mantra: If your eyeliner is on point, your life is on point.
Life goals are to be the next Roger Ebert and to have my opinions matter to everyone. The three fictional characters I identify with above all are Cher Horowitz from Clueless, Grantaire from Les Miserables, and Remus Lupin from Harry Potter.
I'll probably write about pop culture, Sailor Moon, and my faves.
