About me:

I am:
single; female; vegetarian; college graduate; daughter; sister; friend; godmother; rabid fangirl

I like:
rock concerts; the 90s; flannel; my doc martens; being a history geek; studying japanese culture, language, and history; quilting; and my friends

I can also be found in the following net!places:
- Livejournal (duh)
- Twitter (now more or less defunct)
- Facebook (took the place of Twitter after I broke up with it)
- YouTube (this one is self-explanatory, right?)
- Last.fm (because there isn't much in this world I love more than music)
- LinkedIn (apparently this is how people find jobs, these days)

I've been on a go-green kick for the last few months. Please take some time to visit the following sites:
- Planet Green
- Mother Nature Network
- TreeHugger
- One Million Acts of Green

"Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife - birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes and dingoes - by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year, sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth."
