About Me

-I am the Beloved. -I'm passionate about my beliefs. -I believe in taking care of the environment because it's right and good for everyone. -I believe in voting. -I believe my life is part of a great adventure--that's why I read. -I'm a substitute teacher--for now. -I'm a sucker for "lost causes." -I believe God loves you just as you are, and that's why he wants you to stop doing things that harm yourself. -I can be very hermit-like. -I don't believe promiscuity, drugs, rock 'n roll, or idleness are what I'd call real living. -I'm a nerd AND a dork. Cool people just aren't interesting. -I'm from Oregon--THE most beautiful and diverse landscape on earth. -I'm a college grad--B.S. in Sociology from UT-Chattanooga. -I don't accept friend requests from people I don't know in real life. -I make an effort to recycle, reduce, reuse, and encourage others to get informed and involved in the same.

My Blog

So shines a good deed in a weary world

So, I have a theory. :) Not so much a theory in the strictest sense of the word. More like... an observation of how things seem to be. I've noticed that there's no such thing as a victimless crime. ...
