| Bio: | My name is Angela. I'm a native Nevadan, political junkie, activist, writer, humanitarian, contrarian, but most of all I'm just a girl trying to make some sense of the world and hopefully leave it a little better than I found it.

Song lyrics that basically sum up what I'm about at this point in my life: "You are the Crown of Creation and you've got no place to go. Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for in the only way that it's granted in a place among the fossils of our time. In loyalty to their kind they cannot tolerate our minds. In loyalty to our kind we cannot tolerate their obstruction. Life is Change How it differs from the rocks I've seen their ways too often for my liking New worlds to gain My life is to survive and be alive for you. - Paul Kantner Let's see what others are saying: "You're insane, but I love you kiddo." buddah_say"I wouldn't say you're a dork - at least not in the bad way." - jen19h"Your bravery shames me. I applaud you." grittytumulto"You're so wonderful." - kideternal"I love you because you listen to jefferson airplane" - babylikesshiny"I believe this also marks the second time that I've agreed with obstinate_lib, which probably means hell has doubly frozen over." - missbabyblue"Possibly she'll one day go the way of Horowitz and others. But it isn't looking good." - melvin_udall"I think she's rather foxy." - abbagirl"I give you an 8 out of 10, but I cannot dance to you." - mightygodking "All you really know about Ang is what she tells you about herself. She's done some pretty fucked up things too." - Jody Ferguson (Fergie@datasync.com) "Angela is more sincere than trollish and that's very scary" - ghostrider@swbell.net "As you can see by these behaviors, Angela is a member of a cult" - davko58@sprintmail.fish.com "I know Angela. Angela is an enemy of mine. You, lady, are no Angela." - dogbert@dogbert.com Quotes: "I hate war for its consequences, for the lies it lives on and propagates, for the undying hatreds it arouses... " -Harry Emerson Fosdick "There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all." - Mario Savio "[My work] is directed to what are called 'ordinary people.' What I expect from them is, in fact, exactly what they are; that they should try to understand the world and act in accordance with their decent impulses; and that they should try to improve the world." -Noam Chomsky ...no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant... There was madness in any direction at any hour...you could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic, universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning... And that, I think, was the handle--that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum. We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave... So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark--that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back. - The late great doctor, Hunter S. Thompson With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he'll never know. -Raoul Duke (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) "I am going to keep on marching for justice, equality, peace and reconciliation of the human family until I am called home." — Coretta Scott King "There's nothing wrong with Britney Spears. She's a beautiful being." -- My college Indian Philosophy professor  
  Erudite radio goddess Rachel Maddow. You must all bow down.  Strangers With Candy Is Love    Xena and Gabrielle are There's a moment when I look at you... and no speech is left in me My tongue breaks Then fire races under my skin and I tremble and grow pale for I am dying of such love...    Bette Davis is legendary love.  Support love.       It's only the truth. What are you so afraid of?  "Being popular and well liked is not in your best interest. Let me be more clear; if you behave in a manner pleasing to most, then you are probably doing something wrong. The masses have never been arbiters of the sublime, and they often fail to recognize the truly great individual. Taking into account the public's regrettable lack of taste, it is incumbent upon you not to fit in.” -Janeane Garofalo | |||||||||||||||||||
