• -i can't stand...close-minded individuals, prejudice of any kind, people who sit around on their asses and wish they could do something about our changing society without making an effort, people who have no respect for others, their property, and their beliefs, men who abuse women, sexist ads, george w. bush, right wing conservatives trying to take away our right of choice and trying to prevent homosexual marriage.
• -creed on life: be yourself and you'll be happy. don't be afraid to let your true feelings show; speak your mind and then your heart will be content. and above all, everyone can make a difference. don't ever let them oppress you. stand up for your rights, but handle all situations in a non-violent manner, and you'll get a lot more accomplished. oh yeh...be true to yourself, love yer tits (sarah!).
