Introducción en inglés.

Robert James Mitchell was my grandfather, i dont hold his last name because he married my grandma when my mom was about ten. He is dead now, he died before i turned 9, back in the nineties.

RoJa Mitchell its me, its my mock name and it is with that name that i sign most of my work. My "real" name its Andrea and all my friends and family call me by my name coz thats the only one i answer to and, even if i sign RoJa Mitchell, it is no use calling me by a name i dont really use in "real life" its funny when you think about it.

The reason i use my grandpa´s name its coz he never had any children, not that we know of, anyway. He was supposed to be the last one of his family and he married my grandma- María- and she already had four kids, so they didnt have any of their own.

I dont know, its like in that book by Gabriel García Marquez, that family was erased completely and i dont want that to happen with MY family, so i have to do something great i guess.

There..s only six of us, but we dont hold the same last name. The thing is, my grandma had four husbands and four kids and four grandkids... And i hate number five for no reason. and four had died already, including her, so there´s only six of us left.

The grandkids, well, it seems to me like we are another version of the first ones, there are things that are slightly different from the previous generation, but at the end we are as lonely and depressing as them.

Thats all im telling you right now, i will be writting more about my family, friends and people i´ve known, but not now, i dont feel like it anymore.
