I'm from Kansas. It's where I live now.
I lived in Haiti, on an island called la Gonave, for three months. It was mind-blowing.
I lived in Angers, France for two and a half years. It was awesome.
I like green. I pick my nose frequently. I tried to burn a bra once but it wouldn't catch.
you don't need god to know the difference between right and wrong, so shut up about it already.
i love ween. led zeppelin. sublime. built to spill. manu chao. french, latin, spanish. w00p.
Two hands working can do more than a thousand prayers.

P.S. I'm currently pursuing the goal of learning how to say "cheers" in as many languages as possible. So how do you say it in yours?
someone tell flork to quit fecking up the accent marks!
--CHEERS!--
welsh: diolch! "iechyd dda"
german: Prost! (northern dialect Praust), rich people: Zum Wohl! :)
(what old ladies would say when they already had a couple ... "stösschen" ) .. Schuster!
"hau wech"
on a beer party, with bottles
danish: skol (skaal)
japanese: kanpai!
francais: santé, chin ("LES YEUX!!")
spanish: salud, saludos, felicidades
samoan: manuia
russian: nastrovia? nasdrovnje? (pronounced 'Za zdorovie' i believe)
Afrikaans: Gesondheid
Nigerian: Now wow for you o (i'm taking his word for it)
scottish gaelic : slainte!
pronounced slanje (irish.. apparently pronounced 'slawn tcha'?)
thai : chock dee (means good fortune)
micronesia - kaloui
holland:
- proost
- ad fundum! (but apparently no one says this?)
- gezondheid (apparently only for a sneeze?)
chinese: `gan bei` (dry cup)
hebrew: lehaim (corrected by me242) not lahreim, apparently!
Portuguese: Sa�de
Finnish: kippis
turkish: sherefe? sherife? It apparently means "to honour"
czech: na zdravÃ, pronounced "naz-drah-zhee"
greek "geia mas"
serbian = ziveli
Romanian = Noroc
----------------------------
italian : salute
(correction: ... actually, if you say "salute" (in italian) it's more for after a sneeze.
M: ATCHOOM!
W: Salute!
M: Grazie.
W: Prego!
Instead if you wanna use it for Cheers, you say "Saluti!", like for a toast, or of course for greeting someone.)
