About Me

The latest: Well, lately I have been WAY inundated with school, running around going to my SOC classes and working with the GSU, which I am v.p. for. I also spend a lot of time down in the Q hanging with my friends wrestling, head rubbing, and napping. You can usually find me running around campus, but I live most of my life down in McNeil doing my dance classes and generally beating up my body in the dance room doing shoulder rolls and other made up choreography that has no name...If you need me, you can find me- I live down from the science building right under the giant cedar tree.I'm 20, live in Ashlandia, OR, attend SOU, I love to dance, I love ginger, I love random adventuring with no purpose, I love coconut, I love hippie fairs, I love piercings, I love dyeing my hair incessantly, I love my friends....I love wrestling with my friends, though I usually get my ass kicked. I have a special affinity for hanging out car windows, usually my own, granted I can get someone willing to endanger my life with my consent...lots of fun. I love activism in many forms, be it environmental, female, sexual, human, animal. And.....I love screaming at random moments for no reason. Make of it what you will. Also, the top 8 friends thing in my book is total b.s. You are all in there in the order that I added you as friend, and I'm not going to cater to the idea that anyone is more myspace important than any body else by rearranging that. Um....yeah, there's nothing else that I feel like typing.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Of Lychees, apologies, and foreign carbonated drinks

Here's an apology for my previous blog. It was definitely a bit of downer and an exercise in serious catharsis, but it was important. Here's something a little bit lighter to think about: Lychees are ...
