Lindsay is a leftist liberal who is deeply confused at the choice of 55 million people. To change all this, she is studying Political Science, History and Women's Studies which she will apply to her future as a law student after graduation at (SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME FREAKIN' MONEY) Vanderbilt, gods of financial discretion all willing. If not there, it'll have to be the University of Tennessee. Which isn't too bad. Because then she will get free tickets to VOLS games. Which is always a plus. She is doubly discouraged and at the same time, motivated, due to the fact that she lives in the South. The zealot zen has an emotionally sensitive, empathetic, and highly exciteable 4 year old daughter. Which is why she *CARES* so much about what happens to this damn country. She's also going through a rough spot in her life at the moment, with marital troubles and issues that are hopefully on their way to be resolved with the help of professionals (counselors, that is:) So any and all positive energies are certainly appreciated. Oh yea,...and she looks like *le sex* in glasses...

Strengths: Empathetic, open-minded, friendly, motherly, sense-of-humor, not TOO violent, tamed by coffee and fried chicken...

Weaknesses: Impatience at times, stubborn, dangerous when reading the "Letters to the Editor" or "Opinion" pages of the newspaper...

Special Skills: My sexual prowess, knowledge of the US Constitution, extensive repatoire of children's songs, and doing the laundry...

Weapons: death stare of liberal rage, long claws to hold onto the ever-sinking ship of democracy, martial arts moves desiged specifically for Republican women....

Pet Peeves and Dislikes: Republicans, playa-haters, people who don't use their turn signals, people who walk on my freshly vacuumed carper, swift boat veterans for truth, holier-than-thou conservative women (like Marsha Blackburn, Diane Black, and the beast of all beasts...Lynne Cheney), fish, that damn "dear liza" song on Lily's "Silly S

Anybody, really. I like conversating with people, especially about politics...
