Ain't No Half-Steppin'

About Me

IT'S TOUGH BEING A BYSTANDER OF STUPIDITY
My name is SOULGRRL, and I enjoy upsetting the natural order of the universe as often as possible...cuz lately I don't give a fuck.
Just a little place for me to rant about life, politics, pop culture, and anything else which I have found annoying on a given day. I'm your Brazen, Unapologetic, and Biased Liberal (yeah I said that dirty word), Progressive Third-Wave-Feminist of Color , Pro-Women's Reproductive Rights, Pro Queer Civil Rights, SocioCulturalist WHO Opposes the War in Iraq, Opposes the Death Penalty, and Opposes Bush's Psuedo "War on Terror".
I have metaphorical balls. I did not find the previous sentence anywhere other than in my head. I am not a nice person, I'm a good person. They are two different things.
I follow my own path with the goddesses. I don't believe in a male deity. I'm spiritual but believe religion is one of the world's biggest problems. I am vanilla but also a pervert. I can cry and then laugh in the same instant. Socially dysfunctional, emotionally fucked up, very boring and completely normal...with more than a touch of geek thrown in the mix.
You can say I'm jaded, but I think I just figured out the fucking truth. I am irreverent. I am woman.
View at your own risk, I have no problem pissing people off.
