[edit] Welcome to my user page!

I enjoy anything and everything, and that is part of why I love Wikipedia. I love people, and I love the Earth and animals, too. I believe strongly that it is not that hard to be nice to people; I have no patience for anyone who is not nice... It's the least you can do in life. :)

[edit] My Interests

I could list hundreds of interests, but some major ones include:

  • Politics • Animals • Literature • History • Art • Philosophy • Vegetarianism • Music • Different countries and cultures • People and the crazy things they do • Ron Paul! • Computers and technology • Science • People who accomplished significant things but are now lost to history

I use both Firefox and Opera! I always have two browsers open. Why limit yourself to one browser?

I used to live in England and I want to go back one day. I love to travel and see new places and meet people from different cultures.

[edit] Articles I've Created

• Richard Bock (sculptor and associate of Frank Lloyd Wright) • Maria Cosway (artist and love interest of Thomas Jefferson) • Robert Smith (baseball) (former President of International Baseball Association, person most credited with baseball becoming an Olympic sport) • Phyllis Holmes (Olympic basketball coach, member of Women's Basketball Hall of Fame) • Stephen Coburn • Abner Coburn • Informatist • The Founders of Sigma Kappa-- • Mary Caffrey Low Carver • Elizabeth Gorham Hoag • Ida Mabel Fuller Pierce • Frances Elliott Mann Hall • Louise Helen Coburn

“ My candle burns at both ends;

It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light!
