About me:
I'm a liberal, Jewish(ish...), homeschooled, vegetarian animal rights activist and environmentalist nerd/geek who lives in the country. I acknowledge my uniqueness ;)
Seriously, I'm really into making a difference in the world, so I support quite a bit of causes, animal rights, the environment (BEFORE it was hip), human rights, GLBT rights, etc., etc. I want the world to be even just a little better for my having been here :)
I'm not a practicing Jew; actually, I've never been to a synagogue in my life...but most of my beliefs match up with Judaism, and I like Judaism the most as a religion, and my mom's Jewish, so...yeah. :/
And I've been homeschooled MY WHOLE LIFE. How about that? :P
And the entirety of my teenage years were spent living in the middle of nowhere...
...which is sad...
BUT! I do love some aspects of living here in the country, like, being close to nature, and the fresh, (mostly) unpolluted air ^^
Oh, and I've been vegetarian for over 5 years now.
For the animals! =D
I'm a big fan of Kingdom Hearts 2, and anime in general (ok, not really IN GENERAL, I can be pretty picky when it comes to the anime I watch). I've liked anime (as in, Japanese animated series/movies) since I was like, 10, but I definitely like it a lot more now.
And my favorite color is blue.
I'm a pretty creative person; I love drawing, writing and making AMVs (Anime Music Videos; mostly of the Kingdom Hearts series). As much as I love animals, I think I'd be best suited to a creative career than, say, a veterinarian.
I LOVE reading, fantasy fiction especially. I like some teen fiction too (like Twilight xD). I will read non-fiction books occasionally, but if I read too many of them in a row, I get bored out of my mind -_-
As a person...I'm open-minded, compassionate, a bit different, fairly intelligent, a little geeky/nerdy, not very girly, have a crazy sense of humor, sensitive but not TOO sensitive, reasonably optimistic, generally happy (but can get sad sometimes), often scatterbrained/easily distracted, a tad obsessive, sometimes nervous, I embarrass easily (but not about stuff I can laugh off)...
...but overall a good person :)
I'm a member of YouTube and my username there is Slewinca as well...I'm also a member of PETA2.com and my username there is Slewinca xracer (though I'm not too active there anymore), and I'm a member of youthnoise.com and my username there is...also Slewinca.
I REALLY need a new username...
I'm also a member of Care2.com and I host/co-host 3 groups on the Care2Connect part of the site. I started and currently co-host the Friends of Feral Cats group: http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/feralcats
I co-host for the Simpsons Mania group: http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/simpsons
And I co-host for Make a Change! - Animal Rights (which is hosted by fellow PETA2 member KoalaEva) : http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/MakeAChange
I don't really have ANY time for them these days, though :(
My family has A LOT of animals, tame and feral cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, a cockatiel and two leopard geckos. Slewinca, by the way, is one of my family's rescued ex-racehorses. Why I like using that name for everything...I'm not sure, I guess it's because I like the name (I think it's pretty) and it's unique. Besides, it's kinda fun to make people wonder ;)
Why don't I have a picture of myself up? Well, mostly because my mom would have a stroke if I did so (I am NOT kidding), and also because I'd rather not have pervs messaging me. So...yeah, that's why.
^The site that changed my life! :D Seriously, I discovered it when I was around 15, and it was pretty empowering for me then to realize that I could make a difference even at a young age.
I make AMVs for Kingdom Hearts (KH2 and Chain of Memories to be exact); This one's one of my most popular ^^
(contains a spoiler for Chain of Memories)

The BEST animal rights-related music video I have EVER seen ^_^
(Thanks Kat! =D)
If you watch no other video on my page, PLEASE watch this one:
Or this one (if you don't have the time to watch the other one):
Who I'd like to meet: Who I'd like to meet...
Animal lovers, animal rights activists, vegetarians, vegans, Kingdom Hearts fans, anime fans, nice people...and my best friends Eva and Caitlin ^^
Oh, and Barack Obama =D
Wishing you a beautiful day my friend! Just letting you know that I am going on vacation shortly and that I will be back in about four weeks time. Looking forward to catching up with you when I return. Take care. Best wishes, Tracy XO
Thanks for the Earth Day wishes! I can't believe I missed it...and was on a boat at the time, of all places! Although, from the looks/sounds of it...I didn't miss much here.
Grr...I thought I had it on there. You'd think we'd get points for having those two things on there, but guess not. I put it back on there now. Hopefully it'll change.
I do have the ProjectBlue badge on here. I only have the application on Facebook and I get points everyday. Oh, well.
Okay, well...I think it would be better if I went to bed earlier and tried getting online earlier rather than trying to catch you at night. I'll have to work on that.
I got all my icons from my character palette. You'll probably find it in your programs. I'm sure you have it - everyone has it. It's what you can use to get accents and things on your letters that aren't on your normal keyboard.
Guess what? I am married to a published author now. James just got his new book published, check it out at http://simplebibleguide.bookscapes.com let us know what you think.
So..on SocialVibe the question today was have you Googled yourself and I wrote "who hasn't?" because I'm pretty sure just about everyone has, but because of that question I decided to do just that and it kind of freaked me out. There was one website pipl (something like that) that listed a lot of stuff about me. I found out that the new myspace profile doesn't have a private viewing so I switched back to the old one. It also had a listing of someone Kwolek that just died this year on my mom's birthday and there was a guy and girl with the same name as my dad and me. Weeeeeiiiird stuff. Other than that it's mainly petitions I've signed. I may get a job in a calling centre that makes calls for the ban on the Canadian seal hunt!! I need to start waking up earlier so that I can just tell you all this on AIM rather than in a myspace chat. Is Skype completely out of the question? Should I stop mentioning it to you? Welp...hopefully talk soon! Miss & love you! Peace - Eva
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! LOL! yeah the bugs in TexasLand are only crazy during the summer, but you say you live out in the country so that must be more intense. LOL! Hope you get COM soon!! Tell me when you get it!
Ooh cool! I got Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories and other stuff. But yea I know you love animals. I actually can't stand insects. I have a bug phobia, but I'm not cruel. ^. ^ We all need a little bit of love LOL!
I was so happy to finally be able to talk to you today!! It's been too long and I've missed it. I need to wake up earlier just so we can talk, ha!
I watched your Bubbly video! Thanks for mentioning me! :D Is the other version that obviously different? Hm.. I have an acoustic version as well so maybe that's the one they played on the radio that you heard? I don't know! I love all of her songs, though. :)
Aww...you thought of me when picking those pictures? Those were really the only parts of the video that bothered me, ha! It wasn't even so much the homosexuality, but the whole...sex part. Maybe I'm a bit prudish, I don't know, but I'm not a big fan of pictures/videos/etc. of others having sex. I know they weren't in the pictures you posted but it was more of...."and this is after!" The only other thing is that I always picture a really calm, beach-like scene when listening to Bubbly so your video was a lot of action and different from what I usually associate with that song.
Slewinca!!!! That's so sweet!!! X3 you really shouldnt have! but it sucks that youtube banned it. they are lame! but you are not!:D thank you so much!!! HEART!!!!
Hey Lauren - I watched the videos on the links you sent me. Do you think you'll be posting them all on there? I was disappointed that it's not as organized as YouTube. I couldn't find an overall page for just you and your videos.
Hey Lauren - You most definitely didn't offend me. I wrote you back and I wrote probably about five comments in total after your question and I thought you had just gotten off and gone to bed without saying bye. :-.. Stupid AOL! I'm sorry. We didn't even know the other was trying to talk. Hopefully talk soon!
