About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Pin up girls

So, yeah I'm a Hypocrite: "Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have beliefs, virtues and feelings that one does not truly possess. The word derives from the late Latin hypocrisis and Greek hupokrisis both meaning play-acting or pretence. The word is arguably derived from hypo- meaning small, + krinein meaning to decide/to dispute. A classic example of a hypocritical act is to denounce another for carrying out some action whilst carrying out the same action oneself." OR Being ANTI-Facebook... and then joining MySpace. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+I am a bi-racial, poly-cultural, music loving, hug giving, vegetable eating, shoe loathing, Midwestern girl. I grew up listening to NPR and there was no TV in my home. I have the best parents a girl could ever wish for, and every day I thank the universe for them. There was always music and books… and there still is. Every day I wake up hoping to learn and grow. I love words, and languages, and science, and nature, and to dance dance dance. Banjos make me happy, so do night hikes. I am infinitely curious. And love to talk… and listen… and of course love to love. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ New Quote: "You have two ears and one mouth for a reason"....
