Diana Carolina Quaintance
née Mejia Beaton
Diana Q is a short, chunky female with dark curls that often defy all laws of physics. She is of Native Mexican, Celtic, Spanish, Scandinavian and Germanic descent. Being a cultural mutt makes her feel all warm and cozy inside.
If she had a nickel for every time she’s had to explain dual-citizenship to someone……….she’d have a lot of nickels by now.
She crash-landed into this world on November 11, 1978 in the sea-side city of Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She is eternally grateful for her birthday being on the 11th of the 11th, or she would forget about it.
She is completely off her rocker. Her rocker is crying in a corner telling itself that it will all be ok.
Her late Grandmother once told her that she should strive to learn as much as she could in life and she took the advice to heart.
She……
….has been a Clinical Psychologist, CNA, stage actress, librarian, certified secretary, Nursing student and Doula-in-training.
….is also an avid language student, cook, crocheter, knitter, deranged doodler, mask-maker, random philosopher, home design enthusiast and overall nutter. She is learning to sew and is saving money to learn carpentry.
….loves languages, talks funny and is prone random comments. The fact that most of what she says passes through her brain first in Spanish, then gets translated – often literally – into another language has caused her plenty of trouble. As a result, she tries not to talk to people much.
….collects bilingual dictionaries, movie soundtracks, movies and hats.
….is addicted to caffeine and has succumbed to the lure of nicotine on more than one occasion.
….hates discrimination, hypocrisy and has been known to cringe in the presence of the color pink.
Diana Q married a Bear in uniform on January 18th, 2008. The Q’s currently reside in Okinawa, Japan.
