I know from the mishap with Gerald Evans' bio, the bio is limited.  So, here we go.  I'm 23 years old, a student at a local community college majoring in Computer Engineering Technology, and engaged to Gerald Evans.

I grew up in a pretty politically active family.  My grandpa was a former Marine (WWII and Korea), remained till the day he died a staunch conservative (formerly Kennedy Democrat till sometime in the 60's or so) who helped out his party of choice; he also turned me on to listening to Rush Limbaugh when I was 5.  My mom became very politically active when we moved down here and she saw the state of the education system here (and how it was getting ready to get worse).  I decided to emulate these relatives, risking failing classes in grade school because certain liberal teachers didn't appreciate my views.  In 10th grade ELP (economics, law, and politics), I got fed up with the teacher constantly bashing supply-side economics and sat down over Christmas break and wrote a 15-page research paper educating him on what it really is and how/why it works.  Cocky, yes; over-the-top, yes; but it kept me off the streets and out of trouble, and let me vent constructively.  I got extra credit, and he actually liked the paper.

As soon as I turned 18, I registered to vote (in anticipation of the election the next year) and registered Libertarian.  I'd heard of Libertarians years earlier, and strongly identified with them (seeing as how some sort of government is a necessary evil for large populations).  They contacted me about meetings, so I went and found out they needed a secretary.  I figured "what the he--" and became secretary.  I was a bad secretary.  But whatever.

Starting college, I dabbled in liberalism to a certain degree (basically more extreme versions of the views I already have, like views on civil liberties in regards to the war, etc.) and came to my senses after about 3 months.  Shows what good college transfer degrees are for.

I don't bother trying to consider myself a republican for many reasons.  I believe in as little government as possible (strict interpretation of probably 50% of the Constitution, and throw out the other 50%).  I believe (and this is going to get under a lot of peoples' skins) abortion should be legal (otherwise we'd be right back to back-alley abortions, because prohibition never works) but only in the first trimester, and it should be discouraged through teaching people morals (and a mix of abstinence and birth control education during sex ed) and only be used without question or stigma in the event of rape, incest, or danger to the mother's life (the latter of which could be in any trimester).  I do believe in legalizing marijuana, not because I can/want to smoke it (I neither can nor want to), but because I don't see the harm of legalizing it-- and considering how popular it seems to be (judging by my classmates), there could be some real revenue made from it.

I'm getting bored, and I figure you'll learn more about me from my posts.  Sorry if I put you off by rambling so much, I promise my actual blogs will be more interesting.
