About Me

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*HotelRwanda:~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~* ~PAUL RESESABAGINA: I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene. ~JACK: Yeah and if no one intervenes, is it still a good thing to show? ~PAUL RESESABAGINA: How can they not intervene when they witness such atrocities? ~JACK: I think if people see this footage they'll say, "oh my God that's horrible," and then go on eating their dinners. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~* Fuck apathy. You want things to change? Well get up off your ass and do something. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~* Sweet.

My Interests

This is me and my sister, Phoebe. We are refined, poised, ellegant, mature young ladies. ...And did I mention graceful? We're also physical therapists. We use our own techniques.

I'd like to meet:

A fellow vegetarian, bleeding heart, future-Peace-Corps-volunteer. Someone who writes passionately for social change. Basically someone who has strong humanitarian beliefs that they're ardent enough about to actually practice what they preach, even if it means making themselves a little less comfortable or it inconveniences them...And someone who isn't dependent on their cell phone. That'd be nice.

Music:

ABBA, The Beach Boys, Camille Saint-Saens, Elton John, Enya, Fall Out Boy, Fleetwood Mac, Georges Bizet, Giacomo Puccini, James Blunt, The Killers, KT Tunstall, Ludvig van Beethoven, Maroon 5, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel, Sarah McLachlan, Sixpence None the Richer, Igor Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Tom Jones, Tom Petty, U2, Vaughan Williams, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Movies:

Satan Guy: Come on back, I want you to meet the little woman! Winnefred: *muttered to Mary* He has a little woman. Mary: Hm, sounds tasty!

Television:

Family Guy makes me laugh like nothing else. SpongeBob SquarePants is my guilty pleasure.

Books:

The Tintin comic books: If you know what these books are then you're way cool. We should hang out sometime.Niel Gaiman: anything, everything. Oscar Wilde. I like Walt Whitman's poetry. The Mists of Avalon. Barbara Kingsolver's books are wonderful: The Poisonwood Bible, Animal Dreams, The Bean Trees. Animal Farm has a goat named Muriel in it. I don't think I need to say anything else. Stephen King writes quite nicely. LOTS of others. There haven't been many books I've read that I haven't liked.

Heroes:

Antoine de Saint-Exupery becasue he wrote The Little Prince. Oscar Wilde.

My Blog

Myspace has turned into Facebook.

Just like the title says. This is pretty much just what happened. I didn't make a conscious decision for this change to take place, so don't get sad. If you all still wanna read blogs that I write, he...

Just when I thought my activist tendencies had died they get all riled up again...

By now I'm sure you've all seen the video of Chris Crocker telling us all to leave Britney Spears alone. If you haven't, you've either just returned to the internet after a long absence and this blog ...

You think it gets hot here?

We have a summer ant invasion. I know, "wheeeeee," right? Yeah, It's annoying to have to go after these little bastards, but they're really not that bad, compared to the ants in the Mojave Desert. You...

Title: Why do I always have to give these things a title?

I will continue to research and become emotionally involved in human atrocities. How do you balance knowledge with optimism? How can you become intimately aware of the human capacity for evil and stil...

You probably should have seen this coming,

So I just finished the book The Devil Came on Horseback (college summer reading assignment) and, as I always do when I become aware of and educated about an issue, I write a blog about it. As part of ...

Things are great.

The summer, thus far, has been fantastic. I've been busy pretty much every single day. It's the best summer I've had in a long while. I can't stand doing nothing, so the constant actitivity has been g...

Once upon a time I should have been sleeping...

I've been tired lately, and, like Dudley, who we DID decide to keep, I should be sprawled across my bed happily enjoying a night's rest, but the power switch of my mind is still stubbornly stuck in th...
