About Me



Myspace Layouts For Girls!
i am a feminist with a capital f. i have degrees in political science and women's studies. i am preparing for law school this fall (how exciting, life plans :) i am extremely organized. i am domestically challenged--although i like to clean. my sister and i are very close and we agree that we will probably die on the same day (thelma and louise style, haha). i have never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or read a dr. seuss book. i scored a 740 on the math section of my gre but to function in real life must have a calculator. i like to make to-do lists. i can recite scenes from the "wizard of oz". i have ornithophobia. i have a kitten named houdini--he has a myspace, you should check it out.

My Interests

american politics, reproductive rights, conversations with the fabulous monday club abortionistas, npr, cspan, vacations and road trips, politicalwire.com, activism, my cats, learning sign language, rainbow brite, antique furniture, winter and spring, to-do lists, campaigns, luna bars and banana smoothies, bitch and ms. magazine, flying my little pony kite, towanda moments, listening when my friends use my name as an adjective!
You Are 100% Feminist
You are a total feminist. This doesn't mean you're a man hater (in fact, you may be a man).
You just think that men and women should be treated equally. It's a simple idea but somehow complicated for the world to put into action. Are You a Feminist?

I'd like to meet:

Howard Dean, Dr. George Tiller, Martha Stewart (I'm domestically challenged, I need a Martha lesson), Kathryn Kolbert, Eve Ensler, Real Rosie the Riveters and Arline :)
