| Name: | quartknee |
| Bio: | I am in my senior year at the Univeristy of Pittsburgh (though I plan on staying an extra semester to complete two majors, study in Germany and take advantage of Pitt's awesome film studies program and its faculty). I am an English Literature and Film Studies major. I'm a nerd as well as a Revolutionary Marxist. I am a member of the International Socialist Organization University of Pittsburgh branch, though currently not very active. I'm obsessed with stand-up comedy right now, but there aren't enough comedians who have CDs out (and there really are not enough female stand-ups) and going out to shows is tough, though it is the real thing. I barely remember the last time I've listened to music. It's all stand-up, Marxist talks/speeches and music without lyrics for studying. My anti-drug is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I'm only on Season 2, so [covers ears: lalalala!]
"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will." -Frederick Douglass |
