People and Things that I Love

I'm in the library right now, and I really should be reading Thucydides.. but I don't feel like it. :) You should be excited because that means I have an hour to blog for you! Woot!


FIRST:

I want to make a list of people/things that I really like- a WHOLE lot- and admire in one way or another. People/things that have impacted my life.

1. Tom Robbins - my favorite author of all time and someone who says what he thinks and brings a lot to the table. You have no idea the influence he's had on me.

2. Bob Schneider - <3 his music. Freedom.

3. The city of Austin - Small town girl moves to the city. The diversity, the ideas, and the culture that pours from this city has forever changed the way I see the world.

4. Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, & Freethinkers across the country - Thank the spaghetti monster that free thought and rationalism are back on the rise in America.

5. Dana Stauffer - My first Political Theory professor. The first time I ever got to truly explore why as Americans we think democracy, justice, and freedom are right, what it stems from, and if we're right or wrong. I love political theory.

6. My Dad - Gave me a passion to be the best at whatever I do, strive for perfection, and always persevere. Independence and a tough skin.

7. Parker Zangoei - My first out and out atheist friend. :)

8. Josh Bruno - its okay to be nerdy, a little weird, and just all together different. A special kind of elitism without pride. What its like to TRULY enjoy someone for who they are. Adventure. Randomness. No inhibitions.

9. Andrea Perez - my best friend from high school = nearly unconditional love. Accepting someone's flaws and loving them anyway. :)

Woot. Cool. <3



SECOND:
XKCD Series.





THIRD:

I want this bookshelf. Please.


Thanks.



Okay- I actually forgot that I need to be at class early today- so this is all you get! Have a great day!
