Freaky people make the beauty of the world

About Me

I am going in to my second year at Cal Lutheran in Southern California. I love discussing politics, some call me a Liberal but who really cares. I am vegetarian. Yes that's right, say what you must but while you waste 600 gallons of water to have your pound of meat I only use 30 gallons for my wheat products. I guess you could also say I am an envoirmentalist aka tree hugger. Go out people and hug a tree. I love helping people and volunteering. After college I plan to join the Peace Corps. Which should be really fun and a wondeful learning experience.

My Interests

Remember kids: reduce, reuse, recycle. I love to snowboard all winter and surf in the summer. I also like to rock climb, sew and make clothing. I try to practice yoga and pilates as often as possible. I hope to travel the world by the end of my life time, so I guess you can say I love to travel. I also love love going to concerts.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet Craig Kielburger. Anthony Kiedis for the 10 year old in me who still has a crush on him.

"I'm talking about not covering every square inch with houses and strip malls until you can't remember what happens when you stand in a meadow at dusk."
"For attractive lips, speak the words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone."
Audrey Hepburn

Fact: meat production in US is the largest contributor counties largest producer of green house gas Switching to a vegan diet contributes more to reducing green house gases than buying a toyota prias

I love love the garden state soundtrack some of the best music out there.
You've got to love the greats like janis joplin, neil young, cat stevens, grateful dead, elvis costello, the police, the clash, the ramones, the who, the band, byrd, bob dylan, the flying burritos brothers, commander cody, jimmy buffett, bob marley and emmylou harris. can you tell I sneek into my dad's record collection?
I don't care for country, creed, nickleback and hoobastank make me want to vomit.

Movies:

My favorite movie is 10 Things I Hate About You. Then superstar, Molly Shannon is the best. Then clueless. Everyone should see Alice's Restaurant. Traffic is amazing. Rushmore is freakn' hilarious. I heart Huckabee's. Little Miss Sunshine.

Television:

I do love pbs. Documentaries are wicked fun and they expand your mind. SEX and the City. I have to say I've been watching Seinfield my whole life and I can stop. Keeping up Appearances, This is the Bouqueeee residents. I also like to watch The Office and That 70's show. Jackass. I love old school Nickelodeon from my childhood, when nick was cool. Like salute your shorts, clarissa explains it all, pete and pete, doug.

Books:

I like to read as a past time. I'll read anything other than weird fantasy books about dragons and fairies, and science fiction

Heroes:

My dad who is my best friend,
Gandhi,
Henery David Thoreau,
Desmond Tutu,
Nelson Mandela,
Martin Luther King Jr

Voting

A childhood dream was fulfilled today. I voted for the first time. It was amazing filling in all those little bubbles. My voice is finally heard. Or at least I hope so.
