Books... (Alphabetical by author) Quotes... More about me...

My name's Laura Lee and I was born on May 3, 1988. I have very long and sort of curly brown hair that I will never cut. I have a collection of tattoos that is still growing, representing my passions and various aspects of my life (Pictures are available in the Gallery on the site). I'm an animal lover and a tree hugger and enjoy walking around outside barefoot. People have called me a hippie from time to time. I have been a vegetarian since the age of 12, and in 2008 I transitioned to veganism, which I love. I deeply despise factory farming and am shocked how few people actually give a thought to the processes involved in food production. I am hoping to dedicate my life to promoting awareness of the problems surrounding human exploitation of the earth and of other species. In the summer of 2007 I participated in the Greenpeace Organizing Term, traveling and organizing campaigns on issues such as global warming. It was quite a rewarding experience and secured my desires to become an activist. In general, I'm quite liberal in my beliefs and I can get very fired up during political discussions. I am particularly fond of Henry David Thoreau's ideas of civil disobedience and way of living. Also, I'm pretty much an atheist, although nature is my form of spirituality.

I have no siblings but always have had a great deal of pets, primarily rescue animals, including parakeets, cockatiels, a cockatoo, a rabbit, a millipede, a dove, a lovebird, mice, rats, dogs, hermit crabs, a hamster, fish, and snails, all of whom have touched my life greatly. I am introverted and do not enjoy being around large groups of people. However, I can overcome this if I get to know someone well or I have something important to say. I possess obsessive compulsive tendencies and am extremely focused on organization and cleanliness.

I have been with my Joshua since July 16, 2007, and he is my world. He believes in many of the same things I do and sees the world the way I see it. One day Josh told me that I pieced his heart back together, hence the heart tattoo we got together. We also have a hamster together named Mango who is our little baby!

My grandfather was my best friend as a child but he passed away of brain cancer in 1997; I think this affected a lot how I emotionally developed growing up, though I've always had a supportive family. Going to college helped me grow out of my shell a lot, because I used to be quite the opposite of adventurous. I attend Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia and am majoring in Environmental Studies and Political Science. The school itself is quite tiny and conservative, but I think it motivated me even more to overcome obstacles and speak out for my beliefs.

I love creativity and I'm trying to learn to play bagpipes. I can also play bassoon and clarinet. Crafting, sewing, and crocheting are exciting for me; I enjoy creating unique things and selling them. Music helps me survive, especially rock and indie music. I wish I could be an artist... I am fascinated by any portrayal of ideas through writing or paintings or photography. The only sport I really have participated in is figure skating, but of course, I also enjoy outdoor activities in nature, like hiking or caving. I write Spanish almost fluently and I can speak a bit of German, but I want to learn so many more languages. My heritage includes German, Scottish, and Lebanese roots. I have visited Costa Rica and Slovakia twice, as well as the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Canada each one time... I love traveling and seeing the world. I am a left-handed person.

I enjoy website design and have been using HTML to design sites since the age of 13. I think the internet is a great way to share ideas. I am hoping with this domain to really open up and put forth my thoughts, beliefs, lifestyle, etc. for the world to see.

Things to do before I die...
