Writing, (love to write, I don't ever do it unless it's for a class, though), I write opinion columns for the HC Collegian and I like to write funny short fiction pieces, I also enjoy: Dancing, Music, Any Kind of Art, Tattoos, Movies, Friends, Animals, like Winnie Poo and my "baby bords" and believe it or not, I like school sometimes (one day I will stop procrastinating and start paying attention in classes/learning). One of my new found hobbies is campaigning for change on my campus, especially if it involves Public Safety! I'm part of BACCHUS, an alcohol education group on my campus, but we are not anti-alcohol! I'm also a very active member of Alliance. We promote safety, dignity and respect for all GLBTIQA people and please spare me your opinions on homosexuality. I've freakin' heard them all. I'm also on Team Against Bias and the diversity planning committee.
I like watching movies and reciting lines from them whether they fit what I'm talking about or not. I really like cooking. I like fashion and I wish I had more money to shop. I spend most of my time sitting in a stationary position thinking about philosophical things, like where my life is going, when I should be doing something else. Oh yeah, and I really enjoy prank calling people, probably more than any "adult" should. I think it's like the funniest damn thing in the world.
Open-minded people who are different from me. Also, I'd love to meet Damien Rice, David Gray, Leslie Feinberg, Margaret Cho and Loren Cameron, who I'm going to meet on October 11...National Coming Out Day, whoo.
I like everything! Although, I'm not the hugest country fan and I don't enjoy much punk rock. My tastes are very eclectic. My favorites are Keane, Beck, Jet, The Shins, Radiohead, Audioslave, The Flaming Lips, James, Snow Patrol, Deftones, Disturbed, Regina Specter, Three Days Grace, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Matchbook Romance, My Morning Jacket, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Damien Rice, David Gray, Better Than Ezra, Maxwell, Foo Fighters, Maroon 5, Our Lady Peace, Incubus, Live, Collective Soul, Aqualung, Sublime, Howie Day, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Jack Johnson, 10 Years, Coldplay, Korn, Death Cab for Cutie, Blue October, The Killers, My Chemical Romance, Smashing Pumpkins, Dishwalla, System of a Down, plus many more. I like some oldies. I dig the Forrest Gump soundtrack and the soundtracks to Garden State and Love Actually. I also like lots of classic rock like Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page. I could never choose a favorite band or song of all time, but I would have to say that Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia" and The Stones "Paint it Black" would be in the running. Plus, I am not ashamed to admit that I love hip hop, but solely for it's dance value.

Family Guy and CSI (the real one, not Miami or NY), I could watch the Food Network all day long and I'm not proud to say that I have. I love anything on FuelTV, I'm kind of a wannabe. I like America's Next Top Model and What Not to Wear. Lately, I'm way into trashy reality shows like The Bad Girls Club and I Love New York. That's entertainment! I also love love love So You Think You Can Dance. I used to dance and it's probably my most favorite thing to do in the world.

Oh yeah, and Don't Jump: Life's Really Worth It. (It isn't mine...but I glanced at it). I'm currently reading Leslie Feinberg's "Transgender Warriors...fascinating stuff.
My Uncle Willy, Aunt Nancy (ALWAYS trying to help people), Mr. Burt, Mrs. Adams and Sr. Jensen (Mercy High teachers who taught me that success is not defined by how much money you make), Loren Cameron, Leslie Feinberg and Robin Ochs.
