If Slaughterhouses Had Glass Walls...

About Me

Hello, my name is Shanna. Originally I'm from Virginia and could never forget my Southern roots, even if I wanted to. I'm a Senior in college and making a change in my future career choice. I attend Art Institute of Pittsburgh where I major in Culinary Arts. Grad date is December '07. I have gotten into conservation and I want to help save animals. Animals are living beings, not food. What's new: I have the greatest boyfriend, Dale. sugaraholic. Gotta have my English Breakfast tea. Thanks to my British gals getting me hooked onto it! =) Check me out on FACEBOOK if you have it and I can add you if I know you, that is.
My top 3 countries I would like to visit by 2009/10:
1. Germany
2. England
3. Scotland/Ireland
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes but in having new eyes"
PROUST
Things that I dislike:
~large crowds, clouds of smoke, close talkers, abuse of animals, ignorant people, yelling, crying, drugs of any sort
*I might have been born in America but New Zealand feels like home.
*I'm Vegan now instead of Vegetarian. That change is very recent.
*Hummer vehicles are pretty stupid and are a waste of money, space, and kill the environment.
*If you annoy me then I will let it be known.
*Smoking, drugs, people who shout, ignorant people, inconsiderance, and President Bush are just a few things that bother me.

You Belong in Dublin
Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions.
You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town. What European City Do You Belong In?
