I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a 22 year old senior at University of Memphis, majoring in internet journalism.This is me: I am a Christian, first and foremost. My faith is everything to me. That being said, I do not use my faith justify hating groups of people. I happen to like gay people, those of other religions, etc. *gasp* "Christians" who use their faith to spread hate piss me off. I'm not a huge fan of "organized religion" I am by no means a Republican...nor am I 100% Democrat. I have recently taken an active interest in politics and world affairs. Only a fool would choose to take no interest in the world around them. I feel a strong calling on my life to make a difference in the world. I know that God has a plan for my life...I wish I knew what it was. I think that President Bush and his administration are driving our country into the ground. I hate false patriotism. There is no justification for the war in Iraq...none at all. I think affirmative action is a joke. I love my friends...they keep me grounded and sane. I'm single and not particularly happy about it. All in God's time. I can be very shy or very outgoing. Depends on the mood and situation. I'm a huge geek and I love it. I am a movie freak.I make no apologies for who I am. I do enjoy intelligent debate...feel free to message me. If you attack me or ask a dumb question, I won't answer. Period.If you want to read the blog that I actually update, go www.spockmonkey.livejournal.com***Side Note: I very rarely approve friend requests from people I don't know. So, if you send me a friend request and I don't know you personally, send me a message and tell me why you're friending me. I'm not on MySpace just to see how many friends I can get...I like to know who my friends are. Thanks!***Myspace For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.com
