Revolution?

About Me


Made with the MyTheme myspace editor
I was born and raised in Oklahoma City. Catholic school girl for many years. I come from Jewish/Prussian ancestry on my Fathers side, and a whole lotta things on my Moms. I have lived several places in the United States and I have spent a considerable amount of time in Europe, including living in London. I have spent more than a month in several different countries. I love to travel more than anything. I went to Costa Rica several months ago, and cannot wait to see more of Central America. I am currently planning a trip to Africa. Hopefully it will happen next year. I LOVE to meet new people. People are the breath and depth of life. I have a dog. I got her from the pound and her name is George. I love her. I have 5 sisters, and I am very close to all of them. I have the best friends in the world...seriously, and they show me how wonderful they are everyday. Mushrooms are my favorite food. I really, really love languages. I read myself to sleep every night. I am loyal. I have a dark, sarcastic sense of humor. I am a great cook. I am currently in school, and I won't be finished for quite some time. I am undergrading in Cultural Anthropology and Linguistics. Right now a Library degree sounds like fun for post-grad. Maybe I could work in a museum. I am generally a happy person. And oh yes, I can eat things more spicy than you can.

The weight of a human life.

Something is wrong.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected then with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separ...
