An Intro to Me

Krystle Flower was born under a rather generous sized rock in the Bay Area of California. After two years at a Community College, she received her B.A. in Liberal Arts and transferred to UC San Diego where she continued her athletic career and eventually was admitted into her major, Visual Arts with an Emphasis in Media and Computing. Currently, Krystle is working on constructing her portfolio, harassing professors and longing to return to the foggy shores of the Bay Area. In the meantime tho, she is rather enjoying the feel of sand in her pants.

So now that you have a general idea of who I am (what, are you writing a book?), I will now attempt to convey some of my personal traits, political views and associations.

1. I am an avid Environmental advocate - since I was young, my parents always did recycling, and in the Girl Scouts I learned the values of conservation of our environment. Through field trips such as Fioli, GATE marine experience and various personal vacations, I have fallen in love with our environment and am everyday encouraging fellow students, friends and aware adults of the necessary obligations that we have towards preserving the environment.

2. Bush Sucks. Period - I honestly do not think that I have any need to elaborate on this. Suffice to say that it's pretty much self explanatory.

3. I do not support the war in Iraq. Or Afghanistan... - Our war is costing too much money - money that needs to be spent on domestic welfare and is instead being funneled into mangling a country that needs to be redeveloped on its own.

4. ...however I do support the troops. - Many think this is an oxymoron - why support the troops when you do not support what they are physically doing in these countries. My argument is that the majority of people in the military did not enlist because they wanted to "blow shit up". Many joined because they thought it was a cost effective ideal to having the pay for college or simply felt there was nothing else they could do. While they are still fighting over there, I know many service people who would rather not be doing so and in fact do not support the war.

More to come. Class will be beginning shortly...
