I'm into... whatever makes sense
For a relatively creative person, I sure have a lot of trouble with these things. Let's keep it simple though, not too many tangents.
Something about me:
I'm different...Just like everybody else.

About me

Jeez, I thought I'd gotten this over with in the headline. Guess not then. About myself...

I'm 18. I have brown hair. I have a sister. Two cats. The basics. I just described a million or so people worldwide.

Let's see. I graduated high school last year and took a 'gap year' before college to study in Israel. That's different, right? Not really in my community. I went to private school, and this is a pretty normal practice. Almost half of my grade is here now.

The thing about sharing is internet security. My father inadvertently taught me to be completely paranoid. As is I've probably shared too much, but he sure as hell isn't going to find it. I'm not stupid. I'm not naive. Why am I talking about this?

About me.

I'm still figuring that out myself.

Interests

TV & Movies

,I'm the go-to person of everyone I know about Tv and Movies. IMDb is my favorite website,though some of my friends say that I am IMDb. I'm not. Not even close,but it's nice to be known for something. God that sounds so emo. Is all of my stuff here going to sound like that?
Anyway,I learn from TV and Movies. About life. About reality and the lack thereof. I learn about psychology,about people and people skills. I learn about things I want to experience and things I may never experience.,

Writing

,I've found that I've always been able to express myself better when writing. I'm a decent speaker to be honest (insert humility here),but somehow after I finish speaking I think of all of the things I should have said. The good thing about writing is that I can always go back and change and edit and add. The bad thing is that that takes longer and I'm lazy.,

Activism

,I've learned a lot about Darfur and Global Warming,but the cause close to my heart is really Israel. The media war is being lost and anyone who wants to debate me on Israel is welcome to. People like things that come easy. Myself included,but when you don't get the facts straight,how can you stand for the cause? I don't know all there is to know,but I know my right from wrong here.,

Politics

,I like being well informed. The problem with following politics is that there is SO much to cover and to know,and newspapers are SO boring. I try to stay somewhat up to date. I hate ignorance and I hate hypocrisy,so by definition,that means I have to be an educated voter. And I have to vote because hiding under a rock doesn't really work for me either.,

Is it such a big goal to want to change the world?
No, not someone's world. Not "the world of a child." I don't want to just make a difference to 1 person or to twenty people. I want people to hear me. I want my ideas to be seen and internalized. Is that too much to ask?
I want to get up in front of the world and point out the obvious.
I want to take some politician and slap them.
I want to get in front of some brainwashed "artsy types" who do what's fashionable and think they have their own belief system and tell them that they are diluted.
I want to teach people how to use their own brain, how to have their own opinions
I want to have ideas that people value and I want people to value them.
I want to be an expert on everything, but I don't need to be.
I want to open people up to hearing what's out there
I want people to disagree with me because they thought about it and decided that their opinions differ from mine
I want the world to be diversified not based on color or gender or race, but by thinking individuals who have their own perspectives
I want people to know how much they can bring to the table
I want people to understand that I'm a cynic, but that I have so much faith in the potential of humankind.
I want to follow through on things
I want to have a dream And
I want to work hard to achieve it
I want to be someone
I want people to know it

Is that too much to ask?
