I love my country, By which I mean, I am indebted joyfully, To all the people throughout its history, Who have fought the government to make right, Where so many cunning sons and daughters, Our foremothers and forefathers, Came singing through slaughter, Came through hell and high water, So that we could stand here, And behold breathlessly the sight, How a raging river of tears, Cut a grand canyon of light... Why can't all decent men and women, Call themselves feminists? Out of respect, For those who fought for this...

I don't need anyone to hold me, I can hold my own.

And this vague little smile is my all purpose expression the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion.

Who says I like right angles? These are not my laws, these are not my rules.

I like to be an inspiration and an example of the idea that you can be independent, and it's no problem, and you can pay your rent, and it's empowering, and it's great. And that's true, but it also takes a really long time, and you have to have a lot of patience and a lot of conviction in why you want to remain independent.

Words are hotter than flames. Words are wetter than water.

In a man's world, I am a woman by birth and after 19 times around I have found - they will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth.
