Our weakness is the same...

About Me

"We can never judge the lives of others because each person knows only their own path and renunciation. It's one thing to feel you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path." - Paulo Coelho

My Interests

Making coffee, reading books, running a lot, cutting up magazines, loving friends, driving around, buying old vinyl, knitting scarves, doing laundry, writing things down, thinking about everything, and washing my hair.

I'd like to meet:

"Eugene Debs lived from 1855 to 1926, and led a nationwide strike against the railroads. He went to prison for awhile because he opposed our entry into World War One. And he ran for President several times on the Socialist Party ticket, saying things like this: 'While there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a crimnal element, I am of it; and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free'...Debs pretty much stole that from Jesus Christ. But it is so hard to be original. Tell me about it!"

"The God I believe in never worked on a campaign trail."

I saw this on the back of a truck today: "Directions to heaven: turn right, go straight." Wow...how ignorant. So in order to get into heaven, I have to be both a Republican and heterosexual??? My resp...

They refuse to remove the sleeve from a cup of Starbucks Coffee in order to read the covered-up drink marking. They ask me to write it big on the lid instead. Today I told a lady that her dr...

Listen up:

There's one rule, and one rule only. Don't ever talk to me like I'm an idiot. I'm sick of condescending and patronizing attitudes. It's not worth it, so don't try it on me. My response will not be a ...
