Hit the knuckle or overshoot Oh fuck, I'd say overshoot but that's how I fractured my spine
Your crew (roll call) anyone who's up for a good time and not a dick
Favorites about snowboarding Feels so good to get something down... and orgazmic pow
Dislikes Sprains, Clipped Passes, and gear stolen... fucking lift that shit from a corporate if you need it that bad
Do you steal food at your local resort I'll bring food up for cheap, or prolly just eat your leftovers lawl
Funnest day When everything can just flow, or found the untracked... without having to hike back up!
Worst day Hella icy, or you lose your edge doing something stupid
A fun, cute, smart, easygoing, concerned and passionate girl that can make me fall in love again.
Otherwise I want to meet other people that I can somehow connect with and hopefully be inspired by. People that make me happy and I can help do the same for them. I'm not expecting to meet all these amazing people while sitting on my ass so I'm just going to try to be this person I want to be and see where it goes from there. I already know some amazing people though & I'm not playing a number contest for friends.
I'd also like to meet or hear from those who've been through the worst and harshest struggles ever but still end their lives happily ever after ...Those that refuse to give up on love and compassion.
You scored as Truly Free. Congratulations! You seem to have much liberty, and appreciation for that liberty. Your freedom has allowed you to live the kind of life you want, and to gain satisfaction and happiness from that life. You are lucky. Not many people experience your level of freedom--what?s worse, many actually (and ironically) choose not to. Remember that you are just as much in charge of your freedom as the world around you, and that you should always protect and enjoy your freedom; some people forget this.

The music I like really just depends on the mood I'm in. Its not just appealing sounds for me, sometimes its just the message. You can check cds out from the library and you can fill out purchase request forms there too. I have a ton of music on my iPod from other people that I haven't heard yet.
"In attempts to moderate they ask why we don't write love songs.
What is it that we sing then?
Our love of life is total, everything we do is an expression of that,
Everything that we write is a love song!"

Passionate hearts, coupled with brilliant minds, and a hint of recklessness
I shape myself to be my own hero but I look up to so many others
Emma Goldman, CRASS, Noam Chomsky, Gandhi, EZLN Zapatista's, Banksy, Bill Hicks, Situationist International, Woody Guthrie, Wobblies, Leo Tolstoy, Shepard Fairey, Albert Einstein, Eugene Debs, CrimethInc., AK Press, and Adbusters just to name a few more well known ones,
but a lot of my friends are heroes in my own eyes for both big and small things.
