I guess a preppy looking Political Science major would be the last person you would expect to write un- biased articles about religion.  I guess my passion came from being called Satan's Call girl by everyone at the private Catholic High School I went to. 

My articles come from the viewpoint of someone who had always striven to make decisions on her own after looking at plain facts (at least as plain as they get).

So who am I?

I am simply a 21 year old college student.  I have no credentials and no qualifications other than a passion for truth and the opinion of the smaller groups that can sometimes be ignored.

I enjoy reading and writing poetry.  I feel that in some instances (like right now) it is ok to brag about being published.  I have been published four times by very minor publishers, but I am still proud of my awards and accomplishments.  If you want to read one of my poems, there is one at the end of this page.

But what do I really like?

I like giving advice (I sometimes think I know it all) and listening to people.  It is honestly a hobby (I sometimes eavesdrop, is that bad?)  I also love talking.  I am really into finding out how people's minds work.  I am trying to develop a talent for reading people.  For that reason, I sometimes think of starting an advice column.
(So email me! Please.... I love gossip.)

This is one of my poems.  It is also one of the most personal things I have written.  Because it is so difficult for me to share, don't be to critical.
(unless you are willing to prove that you can do better!)

The Shadow

I lay in the warm sunlight-
I bask.
You pass and cast a shadow on me.
I shiver as it becomes suddenly cold
in the ominous shade.
I keep my eyes closed,
but your hateful gaze burns my mind.
I feel my soul leave me
and I sink into the grass for cover...
six feet under.
My body is all that remains.
It is all you need for your sick ritual.
Is the virgin sacrifice enough for your gods?
Does it please them?
Did I please you?
