I’m a college student whose majoring in Criminal Justice/Pre-Law and minoring in Women’s Studies at a university in the Midwest. I’m racially mixed (African-American and White), an atheist, a liberal, a ‘Third Wave’ feminist, pro-choice, semi-Counterculture-ish, and I’m also adopted.
I love dogs (especially mine), the Arts, reading novels, history, movies, iced Mochas, buying more books to read, leaving my home state for whatever reason, listening to all kinds of music, and blogging about issues that are very important to me such as feminism, gender, women’s reproductive rights, racial civil rights, LGBT civil rights, religious intrusion in the public sphere (such as politics, public schools, and the medical community), Popular Culture, and the Bush Administration’s screw ups.
My favorite shows are The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Dave Chappell Show, South Park, The West Wing, CSI: Las Vegas, and Law&Order: SVU.
My favorite movies are Iron Jawed Angels, Chocolat, Les Miserables, the original Stars Wars Trilogy, the Matrix Trilogy, Ali, Malcom X, Kill Bill Vol. 1&2, Chicago, Hannibal, From Hell, Queens of Comedy, Amistad, Elizabeth, the Blade Trilogy, Spiderman II, Anne of a Thousand Days, Mister Smith Goes to Washington, Dogma, A Time To Kill, Roots, 8 Femmes, Valmont, If These Walls Could Talk 1&2, The Laramie Project, Orlando, Finding Forrester, Shakespeare in Love, G.I. Jane, A Man for All Seasons, Crooklyn, Sirens, John Q, The General’s Daughter, Devil’s Advocate, and Bone Collecter.
Favorite Books and Essays: On Bullshit, The Da Vinci Code, Great Harry, Mistress Anne, The First Elizabeth, The Doll House, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Bloody Mary’s Martyrs, The Other Boleyn Girl, The Color Purple, America-The Book, Bloody Mary, Antigone, The Art of War, The Rise And Fall of the Third Reich, Lysistrata, If Men Could Menstruate by Gloria Steinem, The Second Sex, Ain’t I A Woman: Black Women&Feminism, The Vagina Monologues, Napolean&Marie-Louise, Candide, Levi’s Survival of Auschwitz, Dr. MLK’s Letter From A Birmingham Jail, and The Invisible Man.
My current goal is to graduate from college and go onto Law School, hopefully some where in the Northeastern region of the country or the West Coast. I just want to leave my home state.
I also have a tattoo of my zodiac sign, the Virgo, and I am an aunt of two nieces and two nephews.

And you kick ass, as well. Where’s that part?
I’m being humble and modest, Ginmar ;-)
Indeed, ginmar. Gotta say, its darn refreshing to see a place where discussion disrupters don’t get to rule the day because they are strongly responded to. I’ve seen a lot of places where trolls actually take over the discussion and successfully get valid members banned because admins are too inert to do anything about it. PA, Amp, and Kim do, indeed, kick vast quantities of ass and its dearly appreciated.
PA, be careful about the modesty thing. If I may be so bold as to act like the old bat that I am fast becoming, I would say that you’d be doing little girls coming after you a big service by acknowledging that, indeed, you do kick ass.
PA,
I like your style. Very courageous. Thanks.
Jay
Thanks for the props everyone!
