Freedom Writer's Diary

I love computers, History, my family, chicken, scary movies, music, board games, and books. I love to read. I don't watch KTBO but I am Christian(non-traditional southern baptist) and I sometimes cry at stuff like Passion of the Christ. I've also read the entire Holy Bible(NCV, TNIV, NIV) and am a little knowledgeable in that area. Not a big fan of Math or country music, but I can still stand it. I don't know if I'm going to get married, but if I do, I would probably want kids. I mostly would want a son, but I would probably love a daughter just as much. I am a Christian, but I'm not the most devout person, and am also agnostic on many propositions, so don't tell me that I'm "religious" and you're not. I wear jeans and shorts. I have a general interest in the biological sciences, and an affinity for interesting quotes. I often get into deep discussions, sometimes even with other adolescents, without intending to. Although, I wouldn't always say that's necessarily a bad thing. Disclaimer: I'm not a "teen," I'm a cultural adolescent. Besides "adolescence" is just another word for "sociological retardation." ;)
