So I like films. And TV, and books, web pages, magazines, graphic novels, video games…I like all sorts of media. A lot.
If i had to put a number to it, I would say I spend at least 14 hours a day involved in any of these activities. It might sound like a lot, but trust me, Im not even that bad…

Let me start by introducing myself; My name is Lyann. I was born in Mexico City. In case you didn't know, Mexico City is one of the biggest and most populated cities in the world. How big? it fights for the number one spot with Honk Kong and Manhattan and also contains 20 million people (Mexico has 100 in the entire country, make a calculation).

I grew up in a jewish house hold. Yes, Im mexican and Jewish. There are a decent amount of us. This meant that even before I said my first word (which I think was Piccolo--helicopter in italian…) it was already pre-determined that I would attend a jewish school. A jewish school means that you take various classes in hebrew. And there fore Im fluent in one of the most useful languages in the world. Not because its spoken in many places (Some people Ive spoken to don't even know what hebrew is) but because whenever you wanna talk trash about someone, its really handy that they won't understand. 

While growing up I played any sport imaginable. My two main ones though were horseback riding and soccer. Soccer is big in Mexico…well huge. As for horseback riding, I was lucky enough to be able to do so for 13 years; mostly jumping. Drawing also was part of my everyday. If I could count all the sketchbooks ive gone through..o man i don't even know.
I also learnt to play the guitar and base and to sing. I had an all girls band and we were badass. That is until one week before our competition I got a message from the guitarist letting us know she didn't want to play anymore…that bitch. Over a text and with less than a week to prepare (we got a nice guy to fill in, but the mojo of an all girls band was lost).

Another thing you should know about me is that I spent a year abroad in VT (junior year of high school) in a school called "The Putney school". Putney is town of 2000 people that has like VT is famous for, more cows than citizens. It was a great experience, although it came with its downsides…My eating disorder started developing.

Honestly senior year of high school was a rough year. Even though I turned 18, which in Mexico is the legal drinking age, graduated, got accepted into college in the US, won best actress for my school play (which also won first place), managed a concert and went to my first Lady Gaga concert, i was also really isolated from all my loved ones due to my eating disorder.

This is an introduction of me…so I will get into details about that in another post. But after one semester in college, I had to take a medical leave and head to treatment. Spent 4 months in patient and 8 months out patient. It was one of the most fruitful years of my life. as hard as it felt to go through all the things I did, I am so grateful that I had all the people in my life to help me.

Ive been back at school since spring 2013, I changed my major to theatre and media/screen studies and couldn't be happier. I have great friends all over the US and world, a wonderful boyfriend, and so much to look forward to.

Now that you made it past my corny, cheesy and typical intro, let yourself emerge into what is a hybrid of mexican, geeky, female, athlete, actress, writer (I think..?) brain. I don't think Im necessarily the most exciting person you will read about, but I definitely have a good couple of opinions. Ok im running out of witty ideas, actually I don't think this post was witty enough. Ill stop now.
