About me:
Here are the places I've been. In order to earn a dot, I had to have stayed in a place for more than 8 consecutive hours, and be able to tell you about the town. If I included all the places I've switched trains or eaten lunch in...well it'd take a while.
* I'm a 24 year old college graduate, originally from Fairfax, VA. I'm majored in communications with an emphasis in persuasion and critical thinking, and minoring in Sociology from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. I am the College Campaign Coordinator at PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). I have traveled around the country on tours like Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos, and with bands like Rise Against, Alkaline Trio for peta2. I don't drink or smoke.
* I also don't think it's acceptable for people to saw the legs off of cows, and dismember pigs and chickens, while still fully conscious, but this happens BILLIONS of time every year. The ONLY reason this is allow to continue is because people PAY FOR IT. Boycott cruelty like this: go vegan.
* "If people could just smarten up and not treat animals like living garbage, PETA would go away and not bother you with their “frivolous” campaigns while you stamp your feet and demand your right to be able to gorge yourself on a dead pig’s asshole.
So shut your meat-holes for once and for god’s sake, brush your teeth before you talk to us." - Chris Hannah of Propagandhi

Likes: Flying J trucker stops, vegan pierogies, live music, people who don’t eat animals, my laptop, Naro Cinema, changing minds, visiting small towns with 1 vegetarian restaurant, learning new words, Amp energy drink, other cultures, desert scenery, breakfast, being educated, and you.
This billboard:
Dislikes: Most traditions, geneology, gas pumps without the little kickstand thingy (you know what I mean), fruits complete with pits/seeds, gum, hotels, people who think that ignorance really is bliss, shaving, being late to anything, American nationalism, smoking, people who use the word “gay” as an insult, and motels without wireless internet.
