CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to spread love, because it's the only thing that has the power to heal our world which is sometimes so fucked it's heartbreaking.

ABOUT ME

Hmmm. Uhhh. Oh gosh I hate these things.
Well, I lived in England for my teenage years which was super cool. I've now been liing in Virginia while I'm in school and have gotten the opportunity to meet some really baller people.
I'm a spritely people person who alot of times gets so excited about things I can't follow through on them.
I love Jesus, but before you think you have me pegged, I have found time and time again that I have more in common with atheists than with other Christians. I believe that when Jesus said love you neighbor, he meant do not kill them (be it via unjust war, electic chair, or on in the slaughterhouse). I drink too much, smoke too much, think about myself too much, but I know that God is not angry with me. I know that Jesus loved social outcasts and misfits wholly and completely, and I also know that his church today and historically has not.

After I graduate, I want to move to Santa Monica to go to hairdressing school, but if that doesn't happen, I'm sure I'll figure out something else ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just got back from couchsurfing with an incredible chick in San Diego (Tonya whatup whatup!), and am convinced that couch surfing is a clever way to force people into trusting people, something that seems to not come easily anymore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently a student at the University of Virginia, but wish I was a hairdresser.
I'm a health concious vegan who smokes.
I'm a Christian who drinks too much.
I'm an activist but I don't have a cause.

Bottom line... I operate dualistcally. I'm constantly making wrong decisions. And I've finally figured out that that's ok.
