I am here for Friends

About Me


"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."--Ferris Bueller
The point is to have the best time. Sometimes I forget that.
I spend a lot of time thinking about the greater good and how I fit in to it. I want to change the world.

My Interests

Production Management, learning what makes people tick, bacon, climbing trees, building forts, 9 hour games of RISK, writing in my journal, staying up really late, swimming, sneaking around in the dark and other things usually attributed to being under the age of 12.

I'd like to meet:


Richard Branson & "The Elders" -Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Graça Machel, Kofi Annan, Ela Bhatt, Gro Harlem Brundtland, Jimmy Carter, Li Zhaoxing, Mary Robinson, and Muhammad Yunus

Music:

DMB, Counting Crows, Van Morrison, The Cure, John Mayer, Sublime, Jazz, Christmas Music, old cartoon Theme Songs and anything 80's

Movies:

Unwrapped, Great Chefs of the World, Rome, Weeds, Sex and the City, Daria, Ducktails, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Family Guy, Big Love, *guilty pleasure* The Girls Next Door and the best show ever...Star Trek: The Next Generation, Patrick Stewart!

Be still my beating heart!

Books:

"People have stars, but they aren't the same. For travelers, the stars are guides. For other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. And for still others, for scholars, they're problems. For my businessman, they were gold. But all those stars are silent stars.

You, though, you'll have stars like nobody else...When you look up at the sky at night, since I'll be living on one of them, since I'll be laughing on one of them, for you, it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. You'll have stars that can laugh!"

The Little Prince
