1) What do you think about MTV; the shows, the videos, the sex and violence, censoring, and/or the Fight for your Rights campain? You know... I don't have a huge problem with MTV becuase I don't really take it all that seriously. It's TV and anyone that takes most of what's on TV seriously obviously shouldn't be allowed to watch TV and should instead be taught the difference between fantasy and reality.
2) What are your thoughts on abortion? When I was younger I was against abortion except for certain cases, such as rape. However, that was also before I started having sex and before I listened to what others had to say about it. I was fairly naive about the entire subject and it made me ill to think about someone killing their child without giving it a chance to live. However, I know first hand how scary it can be to think you're pregnant, especially when you're on your own and barely able to take care of yourself, let alone a poor, defenseless little baby. I'm a big believer in adoption but you also have to think about how you're going to feel after giving birth to that little baby and the fact that a child of yours it out in the world and you have no say in how that child is raised. Because I have never actually been pregnant I can't say what I would do. It depends on the circumstances and, thank God, I haven't had to try to make that decision. I really don't think you can have a clear opinion on something like this unless you're there.
3) What do you think about reincarnation? I do believe that there's an afterlife although I'm still not sure I believe what afterlife is like. However, I don't believe in reincarnation. What's the point of living each day like it's your last if you get to come back into another life?
4) Should religion be in schools? Not in public schools, no.
5) Do celebrities have an obligation to be good role models? You know, they did choose to be in the public eye and I think they do have somewhat of an obligation to not flaunt the bad things they do, such as Paris Hilton and all the stupid things she does. However, they are human beings too and therefore have a right to privacy. We all make mistakes, it's part of being human. There are celebrities, though, that do their thing and then live their private lives. I think if you work at keeping your public life public and private life private you can.
6) What is your take on Dr.Laura? Far too right-wing and a little bit of a hypocrit.
7) Is sexual orientation a choice? No, I don't believe it is at all. Why would anyone choose to be harassed that way, choose to live in a way that society STILL says isn't the norm. I know we all talk about what rebels we are, how we don't want to succumb to society but, frankly, we do anyway. So why would someone say, "Man, I'm going to be gay so that people can treat me like a second class citizen."
8) Whats your view on interracial relationships? I'd like to hope that we as a society are striving to get to the point where ANY kind of relationship is viewed as normal. Sadly, I think we have a very long way to go. In my opinion an interracial relationship is in no way different than any other kind of relationship.
9) Can/Should teens have longlasting, meaningful romantic relationships? I don't think it at all matters how old you are. It matters what kind of person you are, what you've gone through in your life, how mature you are, as well as so many other things. There are teens that lead more mature lives than some adults that I know and are much more ready for a meaningul romantic relationship.
10) What do you think of meat eating? Animals eat each other in the wild, and humans are animals too. So if you eat meat, good for you. If you don't, that's your choice.
11) Is there anything morally wrong with the society we live in? I think that we have a lot of growing up and learning to do.
12) Will there ever be world peace? I doubt it.
13) Should marijuana be legalized? No, I don't think it should. I believe it's okay to use it for medicinal purposes but other than that I think it's safer to keep marijuana illegal.
14) What is your opinion on the right to bear arms? I don't think it's the guns that are such a problem in society. It's stupid people that shouldn't be allowed to have guns. I think what we actually need to do is make it harder for people to get guns and that will help clear up so many problems that this society has.
15) Is the reality portrayed on tv/movies a crock of shit? Um, have you seen some of the crack pot movies out lately? You really have to watch them with a grain of salt.... or maybe a whole damn salt shaker...
16) Do you watch Survivor? I watched the first one but.... it gets old watching shows like that after awhile.
17) What are your favorite tv shows? Real World, Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, ER, The OC
18) Do you read any magazines? I'm subscribed to Cosmo and Glamour but only because it's nice to have something totally trivial to read, hehe
19) Ever watch Politically Incorrect? I've seen about two episodes... just seems like a bunch of people debating over whatever and I can listen to that in half my classes
20) Is Bush an idiot? Do you really need to ask at this point?
21) Do you want to be famous/what for? I would love to be a famous author someday, I think that'd be "the shit."
22) Watch the nightly news? I usually try to catch the news in the morning when I'm getting ready for class
23) Read the newspaper? At work sometimes
24) How should the media cover the school shootings? I think they definitely need to address what's happening but stop acting like TV and music has so much to do with the shootings happening in the first place.
25) Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? I don't know, I'm not an artist.

About
I'm just a girl trying to find my place in the world. I don't claim to be perfect and I don't expect anyone in my life to try to be that way either.
I try to keep only good, positive and trustworthy people around me. I've been burned in the past but right now I feel like things are pretty good.
I'm in the middle of re-applying to school, I work full time at Caribou Coffee and in between I just want to have fun. I am only 23, after all, and I want to live it up.
