How would you describe yourself overall in 10 or less words?: "quirky" (a friend's word), barista, photographer, happy, mellow, music-lover, independent, liberal, generous, dark-haired
What would you do if someone just randomly flicked you off?: laugh and flick them off. or, if i was driving, i'd speed up and pass them. so THERE.
If you were a color, what color would you be and why? purple, cuz it's my favorite color, and it seems very relaxed and pleasant...fun life...

Your thoughts on..
Homophobia: fuck homophobics. you can't not tolerate another person's way of life.
Abortion: pro-choice aaaaaaalll the way, baby! i went to the March for Choice in DC and it was amazing. i don't think the govt should make laws and make choices about our bodies. i want the right to choose for myself, even if i'm making a wrong choice, that's MY mistake. not your business.
Sex Ed: Sex Ed should be comprehensive and allow for all options. Not telling kids about sex is not gonna stup them from doing it. So at least give them all the facts and prepare them as much as they can so they can make informed decisions for themselves. Abstinence may be effective, but it is NOT the only option.
Love: Love...is something I don't understand. I can't pretend to. I don't think I've truly experienced it...I do love my friends, and I understand and treasure that. But "true love"...I'm just not there yet.
Hate: sucks. i wish it just didn;t exist. especially unjustified hate, there's way too much of that about.
Vegetarianism: way cool. i've always wanted to go veggie, but I just need the protein too much, plus I don't wanna commit to that right before i go off to college and maybe have not so many options for dining hall food. but really, i don't even like meat that much. i'm seriouslay considering it. not vegan tho.
Religion: religion is...a tough one. I love love LOVE how it shows the boundless faith of the human spirit...and the human connections that can be made thru love and faith. And I love that it allows people some direction in their lives. I only wish I could believe in that way. But I don't. I figured that out for myself sometime during my teens. I'd like to be able to put my trust in something so intangible...but religion doesn't do it for me. But I respect other people's religions, and I don't think religion is necessarily a bad thing, as long as it isn't imposed unnecessarily on those who do not embrace it.
Pedophilia: EW. Bad. Pedophilia flat out sucks. no no no no NO.
