Hi. I'm Laria.

I highly doubt that anyone cares, but in the interest of serving people like myself who've little better to do than read the bios of others I have prepared the following.

I do so love: liberalism, Rocky Gorge Reservoir, most art, music, feminism (the original kind), my Greek heritage, Italy, pigeons, honey sesame tofu, science, spanikopita, pineapple & onion pizza, decent poetry, languages and linguistics, Discover, Bill Bryson, the earth, ketchup, reading, oil pastel, pacifism, crossword puzzles, CNN, the environment, the Discovery channels, The Rape of the Lock, the sun, cooking, Smithsonian, autumn, nonfiction, sushi, geology, elvish, John Gribbin, World History, Barack Obama, Master & Commander, It's Academic, The Inferno, oregano, JtHM, soybeans, George Orwell, Galileo Galilei, bread crumbs, Orson Scott Card, Spongebob Squarepants, Jeopardy, and Edgar Allen Poe.

I rather dislike: Tim Russert, sports, Macs, Spanish V AP, carrots, charcoal, rap, most people, spring, Hillary Clinton, algebra, stereotyping, Pat Robertson & his 700 buddies, allergies, Verbatim CD's, Robert Frost, suspense, homophobia, Fox news, liver, poor grammar, Michael Steele, JD Salinger, wheely shoes, people who stand in the middle of hallways, cotton candy, the electoral college, organized religion, Mike Gravel, the Seasonal department, mayonnaise, pep rallies, idiocy, fossil fuel usage, the Bush regime, automatic can-openers, glitter, Christmas music, heights, Sci-fi, the fact that my palm pilot is broken, smoking, Dan Brown, and hypocrisy.

I have an account on fan fiction, as well. Congratulations to you if you can figure out who I am. I would also say that if that is indeed the case then you probably need to get a life.
