About Me

My name is Ariel Elizabeth Choetso Weaver. I'm a native Tulsan who enjoys riding bicycles, camping, making stuff, practical jokes, rolling in the grass (in the winter... otherwise I get the hives), Charlie Chaplin, and MUSIC of all varieties. I'm allergic to melons of all kinds-- they induce hives and close up my wind-pipe. A lot of things interest me, particulary minority and indigenous rights, stateless nations, sustainable living, transboundary water disputes, becoming a better/efficient person.I'm about to embark on a journey through Eastern Europe. I bought a one-way ticket, and I'm not sure when I'm coming back.I'm bicycling from Munich, down through Italy, taking a ferry over to Greece, then riding over to Turkey... Bulgaria and Romania... After that I'm not really sure.

My Blog

Bought a ticket to Munich! Yeah, buddy!

So, I found a sweet deal on a plane ticket to Germany. And so by the end of February, I'll be in Europe to travel as I please for a little while. I've got a basic outline of what I'm going to do. I'm ...

Anyone know a good fortune teller?

So, I've finally gotten to the point in my life where I'm scared of what's going to happen next. Because I have no idea what I want to do and feel somewhat paralyzed. I'm not paralyzed, though... and ...

curses and stones

Haven't been quite sure how to take in and process all of the information that's been going on lately. My brain-CPU is having trouble functioning, apparently. At this point I'm pretty sure that it has...

adieu, mes amis...adieu

Volgograd, New York and St. Louis are all getting a little piece of my heart... with the departure of so many of my friends from Tulsa to these ridiculous places. This summer has been so very epic. It...

Veux-tu danser avec moi? S’il te plait?

BICYCLE TROUBLE and BEING RIDICULOUS

The chain on my bike snapped, which caused me to snap, which in turn caused me to throw my bike down-- which created further problems. I need to learn how to not throw tantrums in situations like that...
