Playing piano, writing, boys, chess, politics, history, risk-taking television where people die or go to hell, drag, computer games (The Sims 2, Civilization 4), playing with domesticated animals, and kids, dance (just starting to learn!), trying new things, and having fun, travelling around the world, getting into debt
Music
All types, but I have a place in my heart for 70's and 80's pop that plays on filipino pop stations. Just developed a recent love for '60s Streisand. I'm also partial to r&b, funk, some house, jazz, all types of latin music, classical, & cheesy pop! (Gershwin, Jill Scott, Blondie, Abba, Stevie Wonder, Missy Elliott, Billy Joel, Beatles, Nirvana, Diana Ross, Elton John, D'Angelo, Indigo Girls)
Movies
Serenity, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Billy Elliott, Edge of Seventeen, Like Water for Chocolate, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, What's Love Got to Do With It, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, American Beauty, Brokeback of course
Television
Buffy, Angel, Firefly/Serenity, Veronica Mars, Arrested Development, Alias, Lost, don't get to see much tv so if you're show's not on this list it's not because I don't like it, just haven't gotten to it
Books
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, History of the Russian Revolution, David Sedaris (Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day)
The highest form of fail known to man. Reaching this level of fail means only one thing:
You must die, or the world will fail itself due to such an extreme level of failage.
This has got to be the kewlest stamp in the history of the United States Postal Service.
Man: Where have you been all my life?
Woman: Hiding from you.
Man: Haven't I seen you someplace before?
Woman: Yes, that's why I don't go there anymore.
Man: Is this seat empty?
Woman: Yes, and this one will be if you sit down.
Man: Your place or mine?
Woman: Both. You go to yours, and I'll go to mine.
Man: So, what do you do for a living?
Woman: I'm a female impersonator.

Woman: Do not enter.
Man: How do you like your eggs in the morning?

Man: Your body is like a temple.
Woman: Sorry, there are no services today
Man: I would go to the end of the world for you.
Woman: But would you stay there?
Man: If I could see you naked, I'd die happy.
Woman: If I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing.
Man: If I could rearrange the alphabet I'd put u and i together
Woman: Really, I'd put f and u together
I'm a friendly person who likes to party, the usual. I'm working to build the new civil rights movement (BAMN) and I go to UC-Berkeley's Boalt Law School, and these take up most of my time. I am very busy, but at the same time I am not a flaky person and I'm loyal to my friends. :) Please write me if you want to get to know me! But you must first meet one requirement: be a genuinely friendly person. All you shady people I can sense your darkness in your emails you bastards - don't bother applying. Also check out the stories in my blog!
People fighting for their rights - far more American than those who bash them.

"Even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. Nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world. Moreover when the issues at hand seem as perplexed as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict we are always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertainty; but we must move on."
Win the Right of Undocumented Students to Receive State Financial Aid for College!
Demand that Gov. Schwarzenegger Sign the California DREAM Act Now!
Turn the Dream of Tens of Thousands of Latina/o and Immigrant Students to Attend College into Reality!
March & Rally at the State Capitol Thursday, Oct. 4, 2007, 12 noon Capitol Mall and 10th St., Sacramento
On September 11, 2007, the California Legislature overwhelmingly passed SB 1, the California Dream Act. The bill would give students without papers the opportunity to receive state financial aid for college. Tens of thousands of poor Latina/o and immigrant students who have been accepted at UCLA, UC-Berkeley, or other UC, CSU, or private college campuses could finally go, as well as be eligible for fee waivers at community colleges. Many who put off going to college because they couldn't afford it would be able to fulfill their lifelong dream of attaining a college degree.
Governor Schwarzenegger has until October 10 to sign or veto the Dream Act. A year ago, he vetoed it - when next to no one knew when the Dream Act was passed and placed before the Governor. This year, unlike a year ago, we must mobilize our communities to get him to sign the Act into law. If we mobilize the tremendous power of our new civil rights/immigrant rights movement, we can win! All out Oct. 4th!
ENATE LIKELY TO VOTE ON DREAM ACT THIS WEEK! ***IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED***
Monday, September 17, 2007
Today, Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) will introduce the DREAM Act as an amendment to H.R. 1585, the Department of Defense authorization bill, which returns to the Senate floor for debate this morning. You may remember that the Department of Defense authorization bill was debated in mid-July but was pulled for reasons unrelated to the DREAM Act.
The DREAM Act would provide a 6-year path to permanent residence and eventual citizenship for individuals brought to the U.S. years ago as undocumented children if they graduate from high school and continue on to college or military service.
This may be the best chance this year for the DREAM Act to become law (although most likely it will not be the last opportunity). If the amendment passes, the DREAM Act would stand an excellent chance of becoming law this year. The amendment will need 60 votes to pass.
We do not yet know when the vote will be, and it is possible that procedural obstacles could prevent one from occurring at all. But regardless, it is imperative for all DREAM Act supporters to call your Senators and click here to send an e-mail message to them today, and again tomorrow, and again every day until the vote occurs. You can find your Senators' phone numbers here.
This time, even more than the last time the amendment was set for consideration, anti-immigrant groups have come out swinging by spreading falsehoods about the DREAM Act in an attempt to inflame their base to intimidate Senators like they did in the Senate debate about immigration reform. But DREAM Act supporters are passionate too. We can and must fight back and match their intensity.
CALL BOTH OF YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM
"PLEASE VOTE FOR THE DURBIN-HAGEL-LUGAR DREAM ACT AMENDMENT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION BILL SO THAT IMMIGRANT STUDENTS BROUGHT HERE

Happy birthday. Between you and me, though, I think you can still get away with telling people you're 24 or 25. Especially if doing so can stave off gay death for a few more years.
