That'a gonna be a tough one because I am not sure I want to post too many things about me on any forum or board. I mean I don't get it why so many people spill their life stories on MySpace and such.
With all that said, we can still answer any one of the questions. Here is mine:
Something that we don't know about you: I love anything European. I have been to many European places including England, France, Italy and Greece. My dad used to travel there for his job for a long time. (he now changed jobs). I am attending a "languages" academy. It is a public school and there are 12 languages taught in my school including Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Russian and many others. I am taking French and Spanish. I wish they offered Greek and Italian. I refuse to learn a dead language - Latin.

Umm, christianity. Isn't it pretty clear?
We went to a youth rally thing this weekend, saw a lot of friends from camp but the rally thing was not my favourite, it was almost like a company selling something to us, I'd rather go to church or sit and talk with someone about it, not have altar calls.
And I don't think of it as "religion", cus thats such a funny word, it gets so screwed up. I just wanna live like Jesus, I don't judge people because they drink or smoke or whatever, but some religious "christian" people are not real christians.
There is my rant on religion.

good, i'm Christian too, but i also think its possible to love jesus in other religions (like catholicism), and for your religion statement, i believe it is more of relationship over religion.
