I am here for Friends

About Me

I live in godforsaken northern Illinois and I'm happily married. I'm at a really great point in my life where I'm working toward my dreams and making them a reality. I am Public Health major at NIU and I hope to work in hospice setting eventually. I have great friends, I love to travel (especially to Memphis!), and I love a good debate. I think for myself and I have a lot of diverse opinions about just about every subject. I've made some great friends on Myspace and I dig a good blog. I'm into great music, vegan food, and a kickass party. All in all, I'm the happiest I've ever been.

My Interests

The other page I created for free thinkers, debaters, and anyone who wants a place to hang where they won't be censored or silenced:Veganism, animal activism, nutrition, knowledge, word games, nature, fighting animal abuse & exploitation, standing up for the underdog, live music, dead music, writing, reading, cooking, gardening, my friends, my family, interacting with cool people, being different from the status quo, tattoos, elephants, photography, spirituality, heavy metal music, paganism, ending marijuana prohibition, Memphis TN, people who are different from me./a

I'd like to meet:

Open-minded, interesting individuals. People I haven't seen or talked to in a while. Other people who share the experience of having been adopted, especially in the closed adoption system. People who share my interests and people who are completely different from me. Anyone except intolerant, close-minded, or racist people.



Music:










I love all kinds of music...currently I'm totally into Taco & Da Mofos - a kickass band out of Jackson, TN and The Tru Cuntry Bassturds, a band out of Memphis, TN.

Television:

I love Law & Order (all incarnations), Medium, Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares (Gordon Ramsey rocks!), The Biggest Loser, The Office, 30 Rock, Seinfeld reruns, That 70s Show reruns...This season I'm also digging Journeyman, Life, Las Vegas, and Two and a Half Men...
