About Me:
I'm working on my doctorate, for the next four(teen) years or so. When I grow up, I want to be a farmer and build my own house with THESE HANDS (gestures with hands and a firm grimace).
Since I can't keep oxen and mules in my apartment, I've settled for a turtle and a bearded dragon...for now.
My bicycle is my car. Two wheels good, four wheels bad.
I speak Spanish because it is the simplest language on the planet and is utterly hilarious.
Spanish came in handy when I lived in Guatemala. I miss bathing in the river, but I don't miss the pre-adolescents pelting me with small stones as I bathed in the river.
I'm not a vegetarian anymore. I'll eat fish caught from the lake or chickens that spent their days running around outside eating other living things.
I am having a long argument with God, but at least it's gotten more civil in the past few months.
I spell and punctuate correctly in emails and instant messages, but not in my notebooks.
I am an Eagle Scout, but I won't salute the flag. The President of the organization working to change the Boy Scouts' policy towards gays has the same name as I do (along with a major jeweler, someone who died in the World Trade Center, a bunch of freaky-looking guys on google image search, and some kid who was in my ethics and policy-making class last semester).
I think about everything way too much. There is nothing insignificant in my life, although lots of things are unimportant.
My sister and I are working on a comic strip called "Tower of Babel" to be revealed this fall. Brace yourselves...

David wanted to add me as a friend in friendster.
Not that he wanted to add me as a friend, but I
always thought he didn't know how to use stuff
like computers and the internet. Not that he's not
smart, I just have this certain image of David
Rice. He's like a mountain man. He comes to
civilization when he needs something. Like
higher education or a new axle
to his ox cart or a shave. I honestly don't know
where I got this impression. David's like a guy
plucked out of America's frontier past and
dropped in our time. Maybe because he's
homeschooled and worked on a farm? I'm so
confused. I just have a very hard time
believing that David knows about stuff like
friendster and running water. I assume David
knows things about what mushrooms not to eat
and how to survive in the backwoods with nothing
but a machete and twine..you know..important
survival stuff.. omg do you think
he has an iPod? No no. I can't imagine the
possibility.
