I am going to Say Dar Williams. I have met her twice and i just LOVE her.
And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think
That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink
But oh how I loved everybody else
When I finally got to talk so much about myself...
Her music cheers me up when i am sad, because it always has a good message
I am older now, I know the rise and gradual fall of a daily victory.
And I still write to my senators, saying they should legalize cannabis,
And I should know, cause I am a horticulturist, I have a husband and two children out in Lexington, Mass.
And my ex-boyfriend can't tell me I've sold out, because he's in a cult.
And he's not allowed to talk to me.
_explain, in depth, a particular work of art that you find meaningful, and its importance to you on a personal level.
Womanhouse, by various feminist artists, i saw this in a feminist art book and fell in love with it. in the seventies, a woman bought a house and assigned different feminist artists to design a room, the outcome is amazing. my favorite room was a bathroom painted all white, and a trashcan full of red tampons.

personal & political:
_what is one social ill you wish you could change and why? how does this affect you in your daily life, or in the lives of those around you?
Fatphobia. I hate hearing the word fat as an insult. I hate that so many people are anorexic. I hate hearing my friends cry about how fat they are. It affects me and my friends. I just wish people would stop using it as an insult.
_who or what has most inspired your intellectual growth and why?
A feminist at my gay youth group named stacy. She has taught me so much about politics and how to get my voice heard, and she's always been a great counselor.
_do you feel that you are prejudiced?
Yes. i judge people before i know them... however, i try my best not to hold it to them. my biggest prejudice is probably against males. I always get afraid of guys, because i have been rejected by them a lot in the past, but its not that bad.
_do you think it is necessary to be politically correct in a learning environment? a working environment?
It depends on who you are working with. if people around you can handle it, yes. if they cant, then they should tell you, and you should stop. I realize that a lot of people would not say anything, though. Although certian tems shouldn't be used in those places ever.
_in our generation, who do you feel deserves recognition as a genius, and why? what characteristics do they possess that are definitive of this title?
Whoever made the sims... i think thats genious. but they cant make a fucking wheelchair for that game... thats not so genious. thats a tough question. 'Genius' isnt a label i give people often.
free expression:
_describe your greatest passion in life.
i love to make arguments with people. Be it abortion, homophobia, prayer in school... i love sharing my opinion and hearing others opinions. Last year i got bitch slapped for saying 'oh my god' and the teacher asked me what we would do about this and i told him we would have a class discussion, and we did, and it was fun.
_describe yourself in ten adjectives - five positive traits, and five character flaws.

_insert a picture, poem, letter, or paragraph that is symbolic of your personality.
