Pretty much anything healthy that doesn’t have too much sugar.
I hate Milk (any kind, even choc.) and Milk products. I can’t even stomach Soy Milk because it tastes too much like regular milk.
I don’t really like many meats but I do like Deer, Beef Jerky, sausage, and Ham. I like chicken only if I’m the one to cook it and it can’t have skin or fat.
Other Random Things about me:
- I would love to live in the realm of the Faeries!
- I have the weirdest and coolest boyfriend! Master Jeremy – Your awesome! Thanks for making life interesting!
- I hate Bush.
- I support gay marriage.
- I love to read – ALOT. I rarely watch TV but still have shows I watch once every month or so when its available (I don’t have cable or satillete or anything due to lack of money and interest).
- I usually perfer sour,spicy,or bitter as opposed to sweet sugary stuff.
- I’m part puerto rican, German,and Italian, and a few others.
- I want to marry Vincent Price – And YES! I do know he is dead! ; )
- Wishes she could “convert” to an amish ordnong without having to be religious
- Wishes Gene Simmons or Arnold Schwarzenegger would become president
- Supports Pro-Choice even though she would never have an abortion herself.
- Wishes men were able to have children so she wouldn’t have too.
- Supports making it legal to grow Marijuana. Though she is not fond of smoking it. It’s a renewable resource that needs to be utilized regardless of the fact that the plant is also a “drug”. We can grow Belladonna and even use it as a homeopathic remedy for health conditions though it is a deadly poison. So why the hell not Marijuana.

- Has aggression problems and sometimes thinks she might be manically depressed or a schizophrenic
- Wishes the economy would hit a severe depression already….
- Smokes way to much
