My main hobby, that I spend way more time on than all the rest listed put together, is political and social activism. Member of the ACLU, Amnesty International, Moveon.org, NOW, Indigenous Democratic Network, Institute of Spiritual Progressives, featured blogger on CrossLeft.org, currently volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign. My favorite thing to cook I think this must be pie. There's just something about making a pie, the beauty of the finished item, how I can make it into a work of art, and how much my whole family loves to eat pie.
