About Me

hi my name is julie. my favorite color is green !! i don't like: global warming & greenhouse gases, the first week of school- actually...school in general, waiting in long lines, big crowds, "unknown error" messages, talking on the phone, being rushed to do anything (hey- just chillax), selfish people, lame people, belligerent people, research papers, germs (eww), mayonaise (double eww), people who take themselves too seriously, avocados, and spiders. i do like: 80s music, evian water, getting packages in the mail, listening to my ipod in the tube/subway/metro, cold and gloomy weather, travelling to big cities, creme brulee, international sporting events (olympics, world cup, etc.), books, flowers, european accents, strawberry poptarts, midnight milkshakes, the feeling of grass on my feet when i walk in the shade, movies with really good soundtracks, christmas time in mainstreet disneyland, christmas time in new york city, hanging out till 4 in the morning, late days, scarves, postcards, new picture comments, nice people, laughing until it hurts, sudoku, sleep, black tea lemonade with melon, the red holiday starbucks cups, and penguins.
Which Trainspotting Character Are You?

My Interests

i like to music, i like to traveling, i like to cooking, i like to harry potter, i like to books, i like to sleeping, i like to movies, i like to art, i like to watching soccer, and i like to thoughts.

I'd like to meet:

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -- Yes. We. Can.
