**Rollercoasters and Theme Parks
**DDR (Dance Dance Revolution)
**Skating: Roller and Ice

**violence
**excessive cursing

Any movie that is set in a dark mood and an overly serious plot is like nails to the chalkboard for me.

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours."
— Ayn Rand (Atlas Shrugged)
"The important thing is not to stop questioning."
"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious"
Albert Einstein
"Nothing is indifferent, nothing is powerless in the universe, an atom might destroy everything, an atom might save everything!"

"When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth."
George Bernard Shaw
"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
— Douglas Adams
Humans think they are smarter than dolphins because we build cars and buildings and start wars etc...and all that dolphins do is swim in the water, eat fish and play around. Dolphins believe that they are smarter for exactly the same reasons."

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells."

I'm Valerie. I like to question, explore, and discover. Right now I am discovering life as a second-year community college student in a tiny coastal town called Crescent City California. It is hard to find new stuff to discover here, other than coffee shops. It was a lot easier to keep entertained in Fairfield, where I lived for about forever (1993 to 2004). School is still going to be chaotic this year, but the patterns are starting to unfold a little bit at a time.
Anyways, some other key things to know about me:
~I'm very quiet in real life. People see me as very shy.~
~I can be pretty naive and childlike, but mature in ways that matter.~
~If I don't write back to messages and comments right away, it is probably my quietness/shyness leaking over into the virtual world. But I will write back as soon as I can.~
~I have a tendency to interpret things literally and not recognize subtlety. If you say things of this nature, you shouldn't be too surprised if I misunderstand.~
~I am an extremely late bloomer socio-emotionally.~
~I am one of the few 19 year olds left in the world who has never had a boyfriend before, but I am honestly fine with that. I don't think that I am at the stage of my life yet to be finding romance.~
~I believe that all people are very awesome and capable of greatness beyond their wildest desires. Because of this, I might be seen as over-confident or self-centered, but I see most others as way too concerned to be humble that they ignore their own awesomeness.~
