she is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).

that is why the idea of putting metal from the world trade towers in a war ship rips my heart out. how can we, as humans, differientiate one human life from another? how can we say that american lives are more valuable than iraqi or afghani or iranian or north korean or ethiopian or or or? why is it that we must divide ourselves? why must it be?

we teach our children not to hate. the word these days is tolerance. murder is against the law. why is it okay to hate people who live in a different country? why do we tell our children that it is okay that they do not have to be tolerant of people just because they live in another country? how do we explain to them the difference between murder between 2 individuals in this country and our government murdering hundereds of thousands with a bomb?

i don't understand how geography changes so much. geography. it will take me 15 hours of flying time to get from seattle, washington, usa to athens, greece. thats not a lot of time. thats geography. and that is the only thing that differientiates me from them as a human.

we are all human. they suffer, i suffer, we all suffer.

why is it okay for innocents to die as our own died? someone explain this to me.
