The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.

Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father's curse, mother's moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.
    ~Emma Goldman

Uh lets see...In past lives I have almost certainly been a cat, a Mexican, and quite possibly a frog.I have a strong aversion to routine, suburbia, SUVs, and okra.I'm in love with the Bay Area ('specially Berkeley!) and hope to make it back there as soon as I can!I have always been surrounded by and could not live without good music, which is one thing I will be eternally greatful to my family for.I miss my grandfather (my mom's dad) more than anyone else in this world.I'm an avid reader and I love school...but that does not make me a nerd, dammit!I'm tougher than I look! >=[
