BioOkay, maybe I am vain enough to attempt this section again...
I'm Lori, which you probably know you crazy stalker, you. I'm a crazy, mixed up, super fantabulous woman. I really love people even when it breaks my heart. I actually still believe, after all the crap that life has thrown my way and all the breaking I've done to myself and had done to me... good things really are possible, there is still that magic spark out there in dew drops, tiny baby fingernails, awesome violent looking sunsets, the koolaid... it's there. you just have to tap it.
Oh yeah, I'm on Facebook now... so you can catch me there if i know you.
Anyway, that's all the rambling I have in me right now. I leave you with quotes:
"Of course it's extremely easy to say, the heck with it. I'm just going to adapt myself to the structures of power and authority and do the best I can within them. Sure, you can do that. But that's not acting like a decent person. You can walk down the street and be hungry, you see a kid eating an ice cream cone and you notice there's no cop around and you can take the ice cream cone from him because you're bigger and walk away. You can do that. Probably there are people who do. We call them 'pathological'. On the other hand, if they do it within existing social structures we call them "normal." But it's just as pathological. It's just the pathology of the general society." -Noam Chomsky
"Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments--I submit" -John Brown
"Here and there awareness is growing that man, far from being the overlord of all creation, is himself part of nature, subject to the same cosmic forces that control all other life. Man's future welfare and probably even his survival depend upon his learning to live in harmony, rather than in combat, with these forces." -Rachel Carson
"The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us" -Dorothy Day
