    Lovely sketch and photo. It's so good to get to know who is behind those words and thoughts we share in poetry

    Wow! Strong bio - love the honesty and transparency. The vampire part is intriguingly 'other' from the rest of your sketch - perfectly placed :)

    Don't beat around the shrubs... tell us who you are! I love this poetic bio! A list poem with a poetic voice of attitude. The voice says as much as the words. Awesome!

    It's so nice to get a more in-depth feel for who's behind the name Arcadia Maria...and now a photo too...you are pretty! :) When I read vampire aficionado, I wondered if you had ever watched "True Blood?" Nice, condensed bio here!

      And I never did get to see the ending but I watched many of the shows. It got crazier and crazier. And I loved that theme song!!

    LOVE the last four lines especially! A list poem within the self portrait - shows the "layers" of life!
