Introduction	"You can't lead people if you don't love people. You can't save people if you don't serve them." - Cornel West "If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning." -Frederick Douglass "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin "Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live"- Robert Kennedy "Lord make me an instrument of Thy PEACE. Where there is hatred, let me sow LOVE. Where there is injury, PARDON. Where there is error, TRUTH. Where there is discord, HARMONY. Where there is doubt, FAITH. Where there is despair, HOPE. Where there is darkness, LIGHT. Where there is sorrow, JOY." - The Prayer of St. Francis "Equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding different things differently." -Tom Robbins
Interests	Apparently working is an interest. If I spend so much time at it I must be interested in it...sad but true. I like getting tattoos and searching for (and finding) the perfect design. I have recently become fascinated by quilting. I've always loved fabrics and textiles and the art of quilting but have lately been attempting it myself. From what I hear, it gets better as one does it. Other interests? Um, I love to cook and I love to feed people; I like to sleep and I love to read; I love singing loudly in my car while driving too fast; I like coffee but don't consume caffeine anymore; I love a good, authentic margarita- no mixes here- lime juice, tequila and Controy (not Cointreau or Triple Sec but good, cheap Controy from Mexico). I love Mexico and would like to live there someday. I love the beach and miss the East Coast. I still love the Grateful Dead. I like stating the obvious, especially when no one else will- it makes people uncomfortable, which makes me laugh. I like asking questions and thoroughly enjoy being challenging and somewhat difficult. I enjoy arguing, generally. Reading over this, it appears that I am interested in just being a pain in the ass. That's true.
Favorite Movies	I love movies.
Favorite Music	The Grateful Dead, Amy Winehouse, Pearl Jam, the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Matchbox 20, the Dixie Chicks, Michael Franti, Jay-Z...so much music its hard to list!
Favorite Books	I love books and will read almost anything. I especially like historical fiction set in 18th and 19th century England. And I am currently obsessed with Henry VIII. Oh, and, Harry Potter.
