¡Hola! I'm Rosamelia Martínez but everybody calls me Rosa, so you can call me that too. I was born on August 5, 1979 in a small city called Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.

Currently I live in Santafé de Bogotá, where I'm developing my law thesis and going through several bar-like exams so that I can graduate some time this year as a lawyer.
Pets (past, present and future)
One of my main interests in life are animals. I had an endless list of pets when I was growing up (turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, parrots, mice, canaries, parakeets, guppies-you name it- I've probably smothered one of those to death). The only pet I wanted and never got was a boa; I think I'll get one of those in the next few years, an albino preferably.
Template:User Parakeets Template:User Loves Great Danes
The current survivor a.k.a pet is Bono (born on April 7th, 2003), his full name is "Bono the Red Hot Chili Dog"-purebreds have to have long names you know ;) He's a two year old blue-eyed harlequim great dane and I just LOVE him! Apart from eating a couple of australian parakeets when growing up and biting a hairdresser's butt a few months ago, he's very peaceful, playful and obedient. His main interest is chewing on stuff (the only ones I have regretted have been my Compton's cdrom and a corner of a wall that had to be plastered; it was when he was teething).
Testy Tests
How now, my headstrong! where have you been gadding?
Know Thyself
Template:User infp
This test you can take here was quite accurate about my personality type, which is Introverted (I) iNtuitive(N) Feeling (F) Perceiving (P).
INFP: "Questor". These people are idealistic, self-sacrificing, and somewhat cool or reserved. They are very family and home oriented, but don't relax well. High capacity for caring. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 1% of the total population.
In essence, I need lots of time alone and I'm scared to death of speaking up at meetings (I'm rarely on time for them anyways-time is relative). I'm also a very girly girl, and I'm very caring about others but easily hurt, so beware cause I often take things too personally. Nonetheless, I easily forgive people (cause nothing in human relationships is final, least of all decisions taken or words said during a heated discussion) and most of the times I will not be concerned about "what was said" during an argument but about "how it was said".
Nobody loves a woman because she is handsome or ugly, stupid or intelligent. We love because we love.
Template:User IQ This IQ Test is fun! It not only tells you your numerical intelligence quotient (if such a thing even exists) but also tells you a bit about your reasoning pattern.
I scored as a Facts Curator...ah, "sweet, syrupy vanity" as some may say...
Like a meticulous collector, you've fed your brain a unique set of facts and figures over the years and this makes you a Facts Curator. Whether or not you intend to absorb every piece of information that comes your way, your mind is a sponge for knowledge.
The words in your head could almost fill a dictionary, and you're equally adept at manipulating numbers and detecting important patterns in number sequences.
This means I'm quite good at memorizing foolish random stuff (some of which I don't know how or why I remember)...for example, did you know Mata Hari's real name was Gertrude Zelle? or that John Milton wrote Aeropagitica in 1644? I did, and I'm not even familiar with Milton's work for crying out loud...
Oh, L'amour
I just love these silly tests you can find all over the net...here's one of my favorites called, "Who's Your Type?", which supposedly tells you who's the perfect guy/girl for you...
Template:User Renaissance Man
My result is the Renaissance man?!...and I'm a Facts Curator? Then,"Quick! to the Museum..." ;D
This man is extremely passionate about everything you can think of. His interests run the gamut, from football scores to Dutch art, and he delves into all of his interests enthusiastically. Your man will do anything and go anywhere and most likely have a smile on his face the whole time. You'll constantly be mesmerised by how much information he soaks up and retains. Whether it's because he's extremely well cultured or due to his romantic nature, you can't help yourself falling for this bloke. Although he has a plethora of redeeming qualities, this great catch can be somewhat dotty. He can sometimes lose sight of reality and wind up living happily in the clouds. But when it comes down to it, that's exactly where this man will put you - on cloud nine.
Knowledge of other people's beliefs and ways of thinking must be used to build bridges, not to create conflicts...

I think this test result tells a bit more about myself. I found it in someone's user page here at Wikipedia (I don't recall whom..oh, wait, I do, it's someone nicknamed "The Minister of War" (love?) lol). You can take it here
You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

Hopelessly Romantic
Template:User LOTR Then, Éowyn of Rohan, I say to you that you are beautiful. In the valleys of your hills there are flowers fair and bright, and maidens fairer still; but neither maiden nor lady have I seen till now in Gondor so lovely, and so sorrowful. It may be that only a few days are left ere darkness falls upon our world, and when it comes I hope to face it steadily; but it would ease my heart, if while the Sun yet shines, I could see you still. For you and I have both passed under the wings of the Shadow, and the same hand drew us back.
Template:User world stage
Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day:
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate-tree:

IL Divo
My first and most beloved contribution to wikipedia is the article about Il Divo, my favorite operatic pop band, including each of the divos' biographies. I was appalled when I tried to search for them at wikipedia and I came up with a stub! Since Il Divo is quite new to the music business and people are just starting to know them I decided to write the article...it's nothing fancy though and I welcome contributions by any of the other fans out there.
Template:User ILDIVO
I also created the IL DIVO Barnstar, awarded in recognition of an individual's special interest or contributions to Il Divo related articles. It was introduced by me on March 12, 2006. List of users that have received this barnstar: Danielle, Peruvianllama, user 68.39.174.238, Noli, user 200.52.176.142, Monique Wuttunee and myself.
My First Award!

My second contribution to Wikipedia is the article on the Vallenato Legend Festival. This is the most important festival of its genre in the world since vallenato music is native to Colombia. When I first read it, I found it was an awkward stub that had been directly copied from the official spanish website. I'm not a fan of this particular type of music but it's so popular here that it wasn't difficult to come up with something better.
Template:User OJ
Ahhh, sweet and colorful orange juice...my third minor contribution is also my favorite drink.
Template:User Jelly Beans
(drool) yummy Jelly Beans (except for the black one yuck!)
... a delicious contribution.

I've just recently become aware of the imperative need of translations in Wikipedia. Having Spanish as my native language, I've joined the list of translators at Wikipedia:Babel. My first contribution has been the translation of verses III to XI of Colombia's National Anthem, ¡Oh Gloria Inmarcesible!.
Template:User ubxlove
I've been spending some time with userboxes. I've joined the Wikipedia:WikiProject Userboxes. I've also designed a few userboxes, organized others that weren't labelled correctly, edited one or two, even created a Userbox Barnstar Award to congratulate those userbox contributors whose creations I particularly like. It was introduced by me on March 23, 2006. List of users to whom I have given this barnstar (if you click on their user names here you will see the userbox that won them the award): Blarneytherinosaur, Grutness, Aquarius Rising, Check-Six, JustPhil, Velho and Nouly.
Wiki Hell
I hereby condemn user 82.108.132.146 to burn in the eternal seas of fire of Wiki-Hell for adding external links to more than twenty articles pertaining to famous musical soloists and bands for the sole purpose of advertising sites where ringtones of each of the musical artists' songs were sold. This user is not only a spamvertiser but is also trying to use Wikipedia for fraudulent purposes as these sites claim to be "official", which is untrue. On April 3, 2006, I single-handedly reverted all of this user's "contributions" to a total of twenty-three musical groups' articles including Il Divo, Pink, Oasis, McFly and Westlife.
It seems no one noticed this accomplishment on my part (or any of my previous vandalism reverting edits as a matter of fact) even though I described the situation on the Administrator Intervention Against Vandalism project page. I think using Wikipedia for fraudulent purposes should be taken more seriously. I'm still waiting for my "Defender of the Wiki" Barnstar for this...(what...I told you before, compliments mean a lot to me ;D).
Tired of Wikipedia? Get help!
Hey, feeling stressed out by all the nonsense going on with other wikipedians? After a heated discussion it's best to have a nice cup of tea and a sit down. It's really helpful and relaxing.
Template:User BB2 You can also join Esperanza and meet some fabulously nice people who will be willing to help you unwind.
Adiós, Rosa
