I'm going to cry, I had EVERYTHING typed and finished and my browser crashed.

First Impression
Tell us three interesting facts about you:
1; I'm completely self-taught in both photoshop and web design and I don't suck at either.
2; I collect really odd things, teeth, bones, fur, bugs in Lucite, antique keys, Halloween candles, Victorian inspired things, little snippets of hair, and antique books.
3; I have a small array of physical abnormalities, my thumbs are double jointed, my shoulder blade wracks against my rib cage if I move my arm in a specific way, much like a xylophone. My skin is unusually delicate, I'm always covered in random cuts and bruises. I usually don't know what they are from, either. You can distinctly see my veins run up my arms, across my chest and into my heart. I also have a phobia of being in direct sunlight. It hurts my skin :S
If you were walking down a busy sidewalk, what kind of people would you avoid? No one, really. Maybe hobos, if you think no one is a cop out answer.
How would your friends describe you? I think they would say I'm really weird, but fun. I'm usually loud around people I'm comfortable with and really quite around strangers. Most of them would probably say that they can't take me anywhere. I've been called "Socially abrasive" before.
Tell us something really mean you did to someone. Do you regret it? I used to be a horrid bitch in my mid-teen years. I did a lot of mean things. The most memorable was I hi-jacked my old friends myspace account and changed everything she had written to say really mean whorish things. It wasn't totally unfounded or anything, she was actually a complete whore. She slept with 3 different guys in the snap of a week while she was with her long term boyfriend. I don't really feel badly about it, mainly because she was really abusive and manipulative when we were friends.
Write a sentence. Any sentence. I do not like to write sentences.
What's something you do that your grandparents would disapprove of? Almost everything? My grandma doesn't like how I speak, dress, act or the fact that as soon as I get cash I'm moding myself up.
What's your favorite historical event? The invention of the camera. I love photography, even if I am an amateur with a crummy digital camera.
Pet peeve? I have a lot. Some of the major ones are; Identical things that don't all face the same way (Money, silverware, etc), BAD PUNS about my name, poor drivers, big girls in small clothes, crappy tippers, being covered in cat hair constantly (there really is no escape from it, it's even in my car T_T), pompous teens, getting shouted at by strangers, and people who think they're soooo witty when they really aren't.
What do you do for fun? I cook, compute, game, read, write, craft, photoshop, web design and imagine.
Opinions *You can leave THREE blank. And write more than a couple sentence fragments, please.
Animal Rights: I don't think there is anything that makes me sadder than animal abuse. I think every PET deserves the basic rights of healthy food, clean water and a loving, safe environment. By taking an animal in as a pet I think you're obligated to love and care for that animal to the full extent of your ability, until you or it dies.
I think animal testing is acceptable as long as it's something vital, like medicine and diseases. Also, the animals must be well cared for, just because they are test subjects doesn't mean they aren't living beings with the ability to feel pain. Cosmetics are a luxury and if you want them, you should assume the risks of trying them yourself.
I don't strongly object to slaughtering animals for food, that's part of our nature. I think it's wasteful to not use animal by-products, such as leather. I don't condone the mistreatment of animals in the meat industry and I really wish conditions would be improved.
Religion: I have no objections to religions. I don't see them as a crutch, or a false glimmer of hope. I think as people, we need to believe in something, whether it's a higher power, our surroundings or ourselves. The main thing that bugs me about religion is that everyone thinks that theirs is the right one, and they are obligated to tell you. Christians give Christianity such and inconceivably bad name, I think it's a real tragedy.
Racism: I'm skipping this one.
Womens Rights: I think it's a shame that women of the past fought so hard for basic human rights and equal treatment, then today's generation of young women completely take it for granted. We started off as being viewed as property, we fought so hard to over come that and then we turn around and head directly back to where we started? It's ludicrous. Women are degraded and objectified constantly and the worst part about it is that it's perfectly accepted, nay embraced by most women. Everyone wants to be a playboy bunny and a porn star. We are told from the time we are a very young that if we are more than 100lbs we're fat. We're told that if we don't have a big perfect rack, a perfect ass, a perfect tan, perfect hair, and a perfect face that we are less than women and no man would ever love us or find us beautiful. I really wish that girls and young women would wake up and realize that we're more than a pair of tits and a vagina. We are people with minds, and feelings and we deserve respect, not only from others but more importantly from ourselves.
Gay Rights: This is ridiculous if you ask me. This shouldn't even be a topic of discussion. Just because someone is gay does not make them less of a person. I think it's especially stupid that we discriminate so heavily against gays because we don't know if homosexuality is a choice or a predisposition. It's potentially like making fun of retards. Now, I figure that the semantics of whether they deserve the right to marriage or not could be debated, but honestly what does it matter? It's all just words in the end. I think gays definitely deserve the same basic rights as straights.
Today's Youth: Damn Whippersnappers!
