I am 28, and got interested in politics after becoming a Viggo Mortensen fan (odd reason, I know). I'm glad I did, because my absolutely wonderful, equally sarcastic boyfriend is also politically and socially aware, and wants to be a politician--it gives us some good conversations!
I have an incredible pain tolerance; I have a dent in my skull; I am an equal opportunity insulter; I am acutely allergic to stupidity
My Philosophy
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation for your character is what you truly are whilst your reputation is merely what others think you are (paraphrased from Dale Carnegie).
What Gives Me Hope
Seeing young people helping others
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
(president): Return the US to a policy of general isolationism except when necessary.
What/who changed my life and why
Two books: Don't Pee on my Leg and Tell me it's Raining (Judge Judy) because it taught me personal responsibility and accountability even with negative consequences; The Gift of Fear (Gavin de Becker) because it taught me how to understand how people think
The best relationships...are rooted in friendship. One day you look at the person and see something more than you did before. And the person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.
