I am here for Friends

About Me

i don't doubt that i am a free spirit trapped inside the shell of a Type A personality. I am working towards an undergrad double major in History and Women's and Gender Studies, with a minor in Anthropology, and then a masters in Library Science. i am a very lucky person; i have had a lot of "right place at the right time" occurences, and with a little hard work have had some amazing opportunities in this life. the pieces always find a way to fall into place if you let them. I am an ecofeminist. i feel that it is so vital that we all do what we can to preserve, help nurture, and protect our planet, and to end oppression. I have the utmost respect for empathetic people. I love to be overly warm but unfortunately am always freezing cold. i love my friends, even though they have turned me into a warcraft nerd. yes, i am vegan. I love to read, and I like writing. i am a self proclaimed lousy artist, but enjoy the creativity it releases and use it as an outlet often. I am hopelessly emotional. i love to run, to be moving. as i move forward in life I've found that in many ways i have also reverted back to ways of the past. i love ee cummings' poetry. I dream in color. Screaming loudly and off key in cars is a favorite pastime of mine. I smile as often as is possible. i try to ignore the impulse to let my heart feel heavy with the weight of the world. My favorite smell is rain on pavement. I am a lot more reserved than i used to be. my favorite philosopher is Joseph Campbell. I have this overwhelming urge to travel and see the world. someday. I love fiction with bittersweet endings, but for the non-fiction (my life included) i have hope for the sappy, happy stuff. yes. i am me. I believe that everything happens for a reason, even if that reason is random. I don't fight change anymore; change has made me who I am today. always rememer that love is an attitude, and the right kind of love makes everything allright.

Ecofeminism, Profeminists
