BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT IN 2008!! VOTE!!

About Me

this poster was above my bed throughout college. it was six feet long.i watch too much television, spend too much money on books, shoes, plus the occasional trip to eat sushi. i automatically look for misspelled words and transgressions in grammar when i read other people's bulletins and emails. i can't help it; it's the teacher in me. i have noticed that a lot of people misspell occasional(ly). i am fiercely devoted and protective of my friends and family. i tend to gossip. i like kissing. i enjoy wandering around museums and bookstores. i like cheese. i have too many pets. caring for my grandmother takes up an inordinate amount of time, which i don't always think all of my friends comprehend. the close ones know. i might be bossy and crabby, but i am also patient and forgiving. i love kids, animals and old people. parents love me. i don't like grits or ice cream. i love pasta and french fries. intolerance and discrimination really piss me off. i believe in God; i also believe in keeping that part of me personal. i am fascinated with mt. everest, mormons and serial killers. i like peter pan creamy peanut butter. i love napoleon dynamite. i laugh at funny commercials. flip flops are my favorite shoe style. i love basketball. i like mushroom quesadillas. i want to live at the beach, in a house on the beach. i talk too much. i love college basketball. i like flannel sheets. summer is my favorite season. i vote. i want you to vote. i use my dictionary every day.
