Where there is power there is resistance

About Me

I am in grad school right now working on my Master's degree :)
I am a feminist, I am a liberal, and yes I believe in human rights.
So what else? I am a "spunky" lady. I love to laugh and smile. I love being social, making and spending time with friends. Oh and uh, I don't hate men, I just have trouble associating with ignorant ones.
I'm the "karaoke queen" at almost any bar I go to, blowing everyone away with "Whats Going On" (4 Non-Blondes) and "Sweet Child O' Mine" (Guns N' Roses) and love driving alone so I can crank it up and sing along in my car.

If you want to know anything else about me... just ask!
Some of my fav. quotes:
"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
-Robert Frost
"It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice"
- John Lennon
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."-Margaret Mead
