The purpose of life is a life of purpose.

About Me

Some philosophies I TRY to live by: the 10 Commandments & the Golden Rule {"Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful." Buddhism -Udana-Varga 5,1; "What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellowman. This is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary." Judaism-Talmud, Shabbat 3id; "Do not do to others what you would not like yourself..." Confucianism-Analects 12:2} ~~~~~~~~~~ A few of my fave quotes: "One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes." -Antoine de St. Exupery; "It is never too late to be what you might have been." -George Eliot; "The purpose of life is a life of purpose."; "To the world you are nobody but to somebody you are the world." ~~~~~~~~~~ I believe ending environmental & voter apathy is important to work towards because I know we can all make a difference in this world. For me, this means recycling, voting, & encouraging others to do the same. ~~~~~~~~~ In this day & age, I feel strongly that we should be rid of racism, ageism, sexism, discrimination, homophobia, & religious intolerance, & it should start within ourselves & within our homes. ~~~~~~~~~~ People I admire are those who are hardworking, charitable, & egalitarians. I detest snobbery, people who are mata-pobre, litterbugs, snakes, vermin, sleazebags, home-wreckers, chauvinists, cigarettes, hypocrisy, & gossip-mongers/slanders ('The revenge of a coward' -Samuel Johnson).

My Interests

If I were a (super) rich girl I'd travel all over the world --I've been to 4 continents --there's still 3 left (although I seriously doubt I'd ever go to Antarctica!), donate money to charity to help the poor & needy, & watch the Grand Slam (Australian, Wimbledon, French & US Open) tennis tourneys every year. ~~~~~~~~~~ If I had all the time in the world, you'll find me engrossed in a book or a movie, making gifts/cards, baking a dessert, taking pictures, writing poetry, doing volunteer work, clubbing, shopping, making CD compilations, playing videogames (Topspin!, Tetris, Tekken Tag), checking out the latest electro gizmos (Roomba!, TVs, cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras)
