About me: I'm a terrible housekeeper and a great cook. I like music that no one else my age listens to. All my pets are dead now, but they were happy while they were alive. I'm not going to get any more. My idea of heaven is spending the weekend in the woods with my birding scope, a camera, and a portable bar. My favorite restaurant is Wild Horse Mountain Barbecue in Sallisaw, OK.
My Liberal Identity:
You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.
I thought I haz yer books! I don't know what I'm doing - I just fool around. The snap peas are hilarious with their little climbing filaments hooking onto things. It's definitely ALIVE! Happy Mother's Day. I ran into Joshua at MedX last night...
What year was the Concert for Bangladesh? I remember that time in general, not in specifics. I'll alert Nick to watch that video - JJF is one of his fav songs.
