About Me

i am shayne. you probably already know me, but if you don't, you want to.
i find idiosycracies are the best ways for us to get to know each other:
=i had a fish. his name was Fish. he died the week before i left for school.
=i go to penn and work very very hard to pay for it. being poor sucks. (and i mean like actually family-poor, not like 'too lazy to get a job' poor.) =i'm the type of person who gets a five-page paper and struggles with it, not because i hate writing papers, but i can never write less than five pages on a subject. so, i sometimes adjust the margins to make them bigger so i can fit an extra half a page in.
=i miss my cat.
=i'm obsessed with debate. no, obsessed. i am one of the few and the proud who purposefuly double their workload solely for the purpose of being able to do an extracurricular activity i love.
=sushi is the best medicine. always.
=i am from alaska. yes, the alaska. i sometimes miss it.
=yes, i am a gay atheist liberal and i will abort your baby. there is of course a nominal fee.

My Interests

i'm a fan of ebonics.
i like sushi.
the House Majority Leader's name is Boehner and i think it's hilarious. no, that's not childish, it's really funny, you prude.
the missle N. Korea tested is called the Taepo Dong. that is also hilarious. okay, maybe that's not funny but only because Kim Jong Il is crazy. A little bit. Crazy.

I'd like to meet:

leave me a message on my fridge and i'll see if i like you.

the sound and the fury

heavy thinking

I began to think. It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then to loosen up. Inevitably, though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a s...
