Quote: 'Nought's had, all's spent'
Opinions: We look at your opinions by the way you support them, not exactly what your opinion is
Paris Hilton: I wonder how someone who has nothing besides a sex video as their claim for fame is such an icon nowadays. Sure, her father owns one of the most prestigious hotels in the world, but earning your fame after daddy (especially after not really doing anything, besides partying and shopping and starring in tasteless reality tv) is just bland. Not only does her new song 'The Stars Are Blind' not even sound like her, the whole thing is softcore porn. Thumbs down Paris.
Britney Spears: Now, don't hate me but I really admire Britney. She grew up in Hicksville, Texas with her mother barely supporting the family. By my age (16), she already had a hit single, and her first album was already going platinum. Pre-KFed years, she really did have what it takes to be the next Madonna, but now I'm not as sure. 'In The Zone' was a really underrated CD, that barely got the coverage it deserved. Some tracks on there are easily single-worthy (like Toxic, or Me Against the Music), but instead she chose to release a Bobby Brown cover ('My Prerogative') and an easily forgotten, half-assed song 'Do Something' where she flies in a pink Cadillac. And now that she's on baby number 2, I think she's (unfortunately) lived out her 15 minutes of fame. What wasted potential.
Drugs & Alcohol: Drugs are a definite ex-nay in my books. I really don't see what the pleasure of killing off your brain cells is, and plus the fact you do the lamest things that seem hilarious at the time are actually pretty dangerous. I don't mind if people around me are doing any kind of drugs, but that's their decision and not mine. Alcohol is okay in moderation, I mean at prom, who isn't going to get the least bit buzzed? Alcohol is still a pretty touchy topic, but as long as you don't abuse it, it's okay. Every kid is going to have a drink once before they're legal drinking age, but not everyone's going to turn into an alcoholic.
Livestrong: Awesome idea, Lance Armstrong is not only promoting cancer research (definite plus!), he is doing it in a pretty creative manner. I know Livestrong hit Toronto pretty hard last year and all last sumer anyone could think of was getting a yellow bracelet. I still have mine and wear it daily, not because it's habit now, but because I still care about supporting cancer research. You still see a large number of people wearing the livestrong bracelets around Toronto actually.
Gay Marriage: I am totally for gay marriage. I mean, I do live in Toronto. You have to be accepting of whatever comes your way, in fact two of my best friends are bisexual. If they decide they want to get married to someone of the same sex, what is anyones right to forbid them? Also, just the fact that gay marriage is legal will help gay youth realize that they are not 'wrong' and perhaps help them in troubled times.
Labels(as in people and cliques): As much as I hate them, they exist everywhere. People pre-judge others based on school, appearance, etc... when they could be the exact opposite. I mean, I know for a fact I've changed a lot since elementary school but all of my elementary school friends still see me as a little do-gooder, when I've changed so much. About cliques, I do hang out with a bunch of different people, but if anyone ever asks to hang out with us, we let them. We even try to invite new people now and then to make things more interesting. The more the merrier, right?
Money: The rich have it. The middle class strive for it. The poor just want a taste. Money shouldn't be a major factor about who a person is, but it's one of the most common underlying causes for most of whatever adutls do. So don't let money get to be a problem, enjoying your life is worth it by a millionfold.
Who is your role model and why: JK Rowling, she inspired a new generation of children to read. Reading is such an underappreciated art, and if children never try reading for fun then they'll never know what they're missing out on and by the time they're teenagers they'll be so busy with school and friends and part time jobs that it's lucky they have enough time to sleep and eat.

3-10 CLEAR pictures of you (not links!):
If you could have any 3 wishes granted, what would they be?:
Become an inspiring author (or anything that I want really!) and never have to worry about money
Travel the world and soak up the culture for as long as I want, with whoever I want
Work with 'Doctors Without Borders' before dying
Why are you a prep?(explain please!): I grew up watching shows like '90210' and 'Dawson's Creek' and 'Party of Five' and I always wanted to be that cool kid with the shades and the polos and the bright white slacks that everyone frikkin loves. It wasn't until recently though that I realized I could be, and it wasn't a sudden realization. but more over time. A big hint was all my friends asking me why I had so many more polos than normal t-shirts, and I just never noticed. I'm very very fashion conscious now though, and the biggest reason on why I'm prep: POP YO' COLLA'!
What makes you not a prep?: I'm a nerddd at heart, I love reading and learning interesting things.
What contribution will you make to this community?: Promote when you want me to, post and inspire others to post, just give the place a good vibe =)
Any last words?: 'Just another stupid drama, that no-one notices but you, and you only take an interest, when there's nothing else to do' I hate fakers, kthxbai
