SOme Things I Want to do in my lifetime: (no particular order)

1. Write a song(s)
2. publish a book
3. Have one of my Photoworks hung up somewhere
4. Graduate
5. Make my parents VERY very proud of me before they die
6. Travel all over
7. Marry someone that i'm head-over-heels about and can't imagine myself living without (that would be Khoi :) )
8. Die satisfied
9. Learn to play Fantasie Impromtu by Chopin
10. See AFI, Juliana THeory, Audiovent, and Mars Volta in concert
11. Visit all major urban areas all over the world (Tokyo, London, Toronto, LA, etc)

Dreams:

1. Open my own succesful photo studio when I'm in my 30s.
2. Find a good job with a great position in magazine editing with a fashion/art/music magazine.
3. Be rich :D hey, I know money doesn't buy happiness, but having a lot of money sure will make me happy, but i can settle for what i've got.

1. I like sleeping under the covers with my feet sticking out from the blanket.
It gives a mix a hot and cold, making it just right. I'm weird, I know.

2. I'm a pack rat. I keep almost everything..even wrappers and old class notes from middle school.
I don't know why..i just feel like i would need those things one day. I just don't throw
away things.

3. Getting high on music. When I'm half asleep in the middle of the night and I put on a good cd..one that I'm still new to.
and something on the cd hits me right on the spot..A really good song that takes me out of my half-asleep stage..(i'm still drowsy though)..
And i realize that this is the best song on the cd. Yea, i'm really weird.......i know.

4. Food for taste. Sweets or salty? it depends..but i almost always usually prefer salty over sweets. I crave salty foods more.
..Like chips, wings, noodles, etc. I can't eat too much sweets at once anyways.

5. I like hot sauce in my spaghetti

(posted Nov. 18, 2005):

6. I am a major insomniac.. I usually don't sleep until 4 a.m. Occasionally i sleep early (which is at 1-2 a.m.) or sometimes stay up til 6.

7. I have a habit of falling asleep on the computer
