i was born to achieve more then i have on this earth.

I am a college student studying for a second degree. I am also a proud American who believes it is possible to turn this country around. I am writing in the hope of raising awareness about social democracy and to clear up misconceptions on the right (conservatives) and center-right (liberals) about what the word "left" really means.

I don't Xanga much anymore. Check my blog, http://www.youngadultsindayton.wordpress.com, which is obsessively updated with articles, links, and other information I find interesting. No topic's really taboo; so far I've managed to hit on emerging theology, politics, activism, feminism, current events, globalization, eating disorders, a boy who's been stalking me at school, fantastic videos from my favorite French animation school, the dangers of Mark Driscoll, vintage Smokey the Bear commercials, the dumbest Cabbage Patch dolls I have ever seen, and Rick Astley. I also run a little e-shop, www.noisytarli.etsy.com, where I sell handmade goodies including but not limited to clothes, accessories, jewelry, toys, books, and pottery.

Check out the wonder that is me.

I'm a SENIOR in high school. I love longboarding, dancing, running, music, and chilling with my friends.
