| Femininity is a natural art. | DOMIA |

Music I think is important or that I listen to a lot
| I had no idea how many very popular songs were written by Joni until I started listening to her stuff. I especially like her older material. She is an incredible songwriter. | Joni Mitchell |
| A long time favorite of mine, Neil is the ultimate style chameleon. As Don Tetreault once said, "Neil Young is a downer, but he really hits home." | Neil Young |
| Rush should win the prize for the most underrated band of all time. I especially like the stuff up through Moving Pictures. This site has links to every important Rush site. | RUSH |
| Bob Dylan. What else can you say...? | Bob Dylan |
| K's Choice's music has a great mixture of edginess and sweetness. This is a great band to see live; Sarah Bettens gives off an edgy, sweet energy of her own. We need more (non-British) European music in this country. | K's Choice |
| These guys are one of the best live shows I've seen—who cares if you're risking your life. Alex seems to love performing his music for people. | Everclear |
| Mmmmm.....CAKE........ You wouldn't think that pessimism and anger could be such fun to listen to. | CAKE |

I realize that a lot of people don't like math. But then again, there are a lot of people I don't like....
| San Jose State is a really good school. That might be because they don't have anything to prove; unlike a school like Stanford, where nobody ever fails a class and the professors have a vendetta against Western culture. | SJSU |
| San Jose State's math department is excellent. There are so many great teachers there that I can only name my all time favorite: Jane Day. If you go to SJSU, take classes from Jane. | SJSU math department |

| I also think prime numbers are pretty cool. | prime numbers |

| Information about the California state government. | California government |
