Icky, 21
Bio
My name is Victoria. I am a junior at a small high school, in a small town, in a small county that was hit hard by the freeze and lost much of its most valued crop, the Valencia orange. I love this place, it's a poor little area, most kids still have dial-up, pay rent, parents work in the fields, own second-hand cars, go to church every Sunday, and hang out at the recently opened Starbucks. I am an avid community member and have worked EXTREMELY hard to make a name for myself in this town, a town where the kids with family roots claim that "everyone knows your name." It may be true for them, but only because everyone knows the names of their parents, I, in retrospect, had to involve myself in all I possibly could, even when nobody knew me. I've made many friends, not only in my town, but in Berkeley, Los Angeles, Mexico, Sacramento, Madera, people from the Forest Service, the FDA, and quite a few more. I am very proud of that. I fight for the underdog, I guess. I am working on a non-profit organization for youth that focuses on environmental issues, and I am also interested in helping the less fortunate (inspired by "The Pursuit of Happyness" lol). When I get to college I am going to start a program to help young children in my college community who want to become involved by providing transportation to and from sport practices and games, payment for piano lessons, or for paints and brushes for future artists, etc. and it's my idea, no stealing!! I also have to help with the pet overpopulation and the endangered species crisis, not sure how yet, though. Anyway, I have to go save the world now, one tree and one soccer ball at a time.
bye.
Goals
- I want to help out a venture
- I want to join a venture
- Too many to list, basically I've helped plan several "youth ventures" (which I guess may be community service or beautification projects), and I am interested in working on many, many more.

Guestbook
Hi. My name is Icky Butt, but you can call me Icky. I like bowling and Denny's. Oh, and my camera, cell phone, computer, and guitar. I love reading and writing, and saving the world. I really heart coffee and my best friends Caz, Koy, and Dela. I love oldies, rock, country, classical, classic rock, regae, jazz, spanish rock, coridos, mariachi, etc. not a big fan of r&b or rap, though. I love animals, especially horses. Mexico is AWEsome, but I can't wait to go to Spain. I wish I knew how to play the harmonica. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE hats, and SCICON, the outside rules. Basketball and tennis are the kulest, and Twix are the bomb. Green is the best color in the world, but ORANGE is the greatest thing to happen to human kind. Music is life, life is good, good is golden, golden needs to be kept clean; I like to keep myself clean, a daily shower, removal of earwax, brush teeph twice a day, floss, all that jazz, but I also mean the other kind of clean. I do not swear, it shows a lack of education and a lack of respect, not only for your audience, but for yourself. I do not drink, do not do drugs, do not waste my nights at parties. I like good, clean fun, like bowling and playing tag in the Target parking lot at 10pm. I enjoy the simple things in life, like sticky notes and car paint and those styrofoam peanuts that look like snow. I make everything funny, I have energy for days and days, I love laughing, smiling, and hanging w/ the gang. Playing guitar and playing clue, watching Spiderman and The Lord of the Rings, Cars, and the Pursuit of Happyness. Yup, yup, Life Is Good.
