my mind is just getting out of its cage

About Me

MySpace Editor

MySpace Layouts MySpace Editor Icons Collage MySpace Graphics MySpace Codes
I'm a huge dork.
I believe in human rights and the right to life, liberty, and property for all. Haven't you heard? America's consumed with greed & they won't help those in need.
I'm a born & bred southern girl, with minimal accent most of the time. Though most of my german pronunciation comes with a bit of a southern tint to it.
I'm a very driven (read: stubborn) person. Once I set my mind to something, there's usually no turning back. I plan to go to Africa after I graduate uni to learn more about the continent in general, educate children in Uganda, and perhaps one day publish journals of my travels.
For fun: I pop in and out of the Atlanta "Rocky Horror Picture Show" cast. I draw. I people-watch. I dance in my car. I dwell on spirituality and what constitutes God. I go to concerts. I watch movies whenever possible. I play fetch with my beancake, Mara. I rearrange my closets and organize my stuff.

Being displaced... it's more than just leaving your home for a short while, knowing it's there when you return.  It's more than giving up food and water.  It's more than you, and me.  I...
