About Me

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My best pal is a little dog named Gaz.
I want her to come live with me now.
I like learning and reading pretty much more than anything.
I am a natural red head..the freckles are real.
Counting pre-school, college and graduate school, I'm currently in my 21st year of school...so yea...that makes me a huge nerd.
I can't see.
I watch the news a lot.
I'm kind of obsessed with Batgirl.
My pupils are always two different sizes.

My Interests

Gender and Women's Studies
Human Trafficking issues

Human Rights

Abortion
Pro-choice rights and reproductive rights as a whole

Pugs

Comic Books especially old ones pre-1965 (silver and then golden age)

Make-up

I'd like to meet:

People who like thinking more than just agreeing with everything they hear.
People who love fashion and Make-up.
People who enjoy comic books.
People who realize our socially constructed gender traits don't always go with the acknowledged sex of a person. Basically, suck it if you think I'm supposed to be a certain way because I am a girl.
