Name: Ruya
Class: 2009
Nickname(s): Roo, Rooya, Roopoo, Ruby (Tuesday), apparently Ruben now...
Major/Minor: Religion and Culture, Health, and Science
Where are you from? : The Federated States of Micronesia, Seward, Alaska and Farmington, Maine.
Favorite song the Shoes sing: Hardest question ever. I can put Sweaters on repeat for hours, so I'll go with that. But, I also love singing Young James Dean.
One reason why you are a feminist: Because I would love to have Alix Olson's children.
One book every feminist should read: God, the Father by Mary Daly. Also, this isn't a book but look-up feminist art, it is incredible!
If you were an animal, you would be: A cat, because I love tuna and naps.
Your #1 source of news: My homepage, msn news, so whatever pops up.
Your favorite ice cream flavor: The cliche answer for the Alaskan: Moose tracks!
If you could choose any celebrity to be a Nice Shoe, you would choose: Angelina Jolie because she is hot, she is a Goodwill Ambassador, she doesn't follow pre-set gender roles, she won't get married until the queer community has that right, and she has just about the cutest family I have ever seen.
Your favorite part of the body: Collarbones.
If there was a soundtrack of your life, 5 songs that would be on it are:
If you put my itunes on shuffle 4 out of 5 songs will probably end up being that of the under-appreciated 90s boy band, Hanson. But if I must choose an alternative 5 to the ones that have ruled my life since the age of 10 they would probably be some of the following:
1) If you want to sing out sing out - Cat Stevens
2) The con - Tegan and Sara
3) I gotta go my own way - High School Musical (haha don't judge how emo this song is or the fact that I've listed it!)
4) Long way around - Dixie Chicks
5) This year's love - David Gray
6) Flowers in the window - Travis
7) Telling stories - Tracy Chapmn
8) Speechless - Girlyman
9) Extraordinary machine - Fiona Apple
10) 3x5 - John Mayer
11) Something in the way she moves - James Taylor
I can't pick just five.
Feminists that inspire you the most: My mom and sister! Also, Anissa Hele-Lucas, my former gender studies prof, and feminist-extraordinaire.
Your favorite shoe memory: Making love (sprinkles) with the shoes, actually even thinking about doing it, makes me smile inside and out.
Your favorite pair of shoes: Brown plaid flats.
