so, what do you look like? ,, well, i've got naturally tanned skin, my parents were italian, after all. my eyes are about the same colour as chocolate, just a little bit lighter. my hair is a kind of shaggy brown, shaggier in the front than in the back. . . i should probably get that cut, now that i think about it. my face reminds me of a parallelogram, a square jaw with rather straight sides. in total, i'm about 5' 11", but i'm hoping to grow that last inch and hit six foot. beyond that, i have a small scar on my hand, stretching from the bottom of my thumb to my pinky, it was sliced by a mugger when i was sixteen. . .
and who do you look like? ,, adamo ruggiero
how do you like to dress these days? ,, most of the time, i can be found in jeans, generally of the dark-washed variety, and what ever shirt that i can pull out of my closet. i've found that button-downs are the best thing in the world. . . and i wear glasses on occasion, i don't need them, but sometimes i get headaches and they come in handy.

what do you just love? ,, what do i love? i absolutely love to cook, my dad taught me how to when i started high school, mainly because he knew that i would leave the house eventually. obviously photography. . . hm. . . i enjoy listening to what ever music is on my ipod or the radio, i'll even sit in on some of the orchestra rehearsals. i have the desire to travel, but mostly i've only ever traveled around the states. oddly enough, i really like the cold, cold weather, cold temperatures. . . it's just peaceful. oh! cherry popsicles. my sister got me addicted to those stupid things. for some reason, i enjoy walking around at night, i generally don't do anything on these walks, but i'll go explore random places. ah, my mother and sister would take me to all these weird shops, the ones where they sell strange hand-made things, knick-knacks, and antiques. . . they kind of fascinate me. running is something i got into in high school, it just kind of stuck with me. and dogs, i love dogs.
and what do you just hate? ,, heh. . . well, i really cannot stand scremo music. . . if you can even call it music. mangos, not entirely sure why. blood. . . while i don't pass out or anything, blood is not something i am comfortable around. same with people whom you just can't seem to win with, i try to look for the good in everyone, but if i can't win with them, then i don't even see the point. hospitals. easy as that, they creep me out. obnoxious drunks are another one of those things, even after i grew up in sanfran, i just don't understand. oh, gossip rather irks me, i know that it's unavoidable, but a guy can try. which brings me to another thing, guys who just don't get it. i was raised to be chivalrous, that's how guys should act, yet a remarkable amount of guys don't realise that. caffeine, it makes my head feel funny, kind of like when you take heavy pain medicine. . . oh, after living in a city of hippies for so long, i cannot take any more of the whole save-the-world-mindset.
we've all got flaws, fess up to some of yours ,, well, i'm ocd, kind of. . . i have ocd tendencies, but i'm not fully ocd, not medicated or anything like that. and secondly, when i fall, i fall hard, i'll just leave it at that.
now, let me in on a secret or two ,, well, i am related to a boss in the mafia. . . he is my father's brother. it's actually partially the reason that my parents left italy. i actually do have contact with a few of my cousins, i'm rather close with a few of them, but that doesn't mean that i am part of the mafia, nor do i approve of it. secondly, i'm here because my family believed it was best that i remove myself from the public eye after a student from my school was kidnapped and a fish was left in her bed. everyone jumped to the conclusion of 'sleeping with da' fishes' and thought about the italian with mafia connections and i was put under investigation. so once the trial cleared up, i moved away from my family and came here.
so, what scares the sunshine out of you? ,, what scares me? well, i am rather afraid of being pulled into the mafia, in any way at all, even if it is that someone finds out about those connections and then no longer sees me for who i am. i'm also petrified of failing at my dream. i just want to be a photographer, i want to be the best that i can be, and i don't want to fail that. there's also a weird fear of parrots in there, but that's a story for another time.
any quirks? ,, well, as mentioned before, i am ocd, so there are the normal ocd quirks, my cd's are organised by colour of the spine. . . things like that. oh, i have a collection of classic records. . . but no record player, i just can't let go of the records. and when i can't think of a word, i tend to make one up, no matter how unusual it sounds. but, i am getting better at that.

so tell me about your parents ,, allesia mikila delacruz ; mother ; lawyer ; 48
luca luigi delacruz ; father ; restaurant owner ; 51
are they together? ,,
they're happily married
any brothers and/or sisters? ,,
isa laura delacruz ; sister ; 23 ; travel agent
lena magnolia delacruz ; sister ; 16 ; student
marco luigi delacruz ; brother ; 16 ; student
any pets? ,,
back home, we have two welsh corgis, one is mine, the other is lena's. their names are margherita being mine, and michaelangelo being lena's. my mom has two cats, nico and nero, and my brother had a parrot, but when it, erm, attacked me in my sleep, we sold it.
so before we end this, any other family i should know about? ,,
niccolò martivarde ; cousin ; member of the mafia and also a tour guide.
nina martivarde ; cousin ; member of the mafia, chef.
orso ovidio ; uncle ; member of the mafia.

those are simply the ones that i am closest to.
any family secrets? ,,
simply the mafia connections, beyond that, we're squeaky clean. though i think my brother trained his parrot to attack me.

how did you get here, exactly? ,, my parents moved to america when they found out they were going to have my sister, getting away from the mafia and into a nice neighbourhood in san fransisco. our father would tell us stories of italy as bedtime stories, all four of us gathered in one room, eagerly listening, they even took us all on a trip there for spring break one year, letting us meet our family, granted, we later found out that our father had had a very heated discussion with his brother about not letting any of us in on the fact that they were members of the mafia.

i kept in contact with two of my cousins and one of my uncles, getting to know them and such, our parents even informed us of the mafia thing about the time that i turned thirteen. telling my sister and i together, and intending to wait and tell the twins about it until they were thirteen as well. . . but when a girl who had been spreading lies about me during my junior year went missing suddenly and a fish was left in her bed, the police found our ties to the mafia and jumped to conclusions. wanting to arrest me and everything. after the trial cleared and they found out that she had run away with the guy who had actually gotten her pregnant, the very thing she had been saying i had done, and it had been a joke more at the fact that i was italian, not mafia. . . weird girl.

anyway, i left pretty soon after that, isa actually intended to come with me, move out here to ehu, keep me company, but she instead moved to maui, now, i'm a photography major here at bouscher, playing the piano in my spare time, but not with any future in it or anything. hopefully i'll be able to get margharita sent out here soon, seeing as i've been here for a year now. but, we'll see.
