I'm an optimist and an activist.
You can read my bio here , or see my personal blog here .
I have a BS in Political Science and a BA in History from Florida State University. I'm very involved in human rights, so that's mostly what you'll find here. But I try to share some fun stuff as well.

Formspring responses will be posted here.
