———–
1. Listening to “This American Life” is awesome but the stories always make me cry.
2. I have one less organ than most people and a pretty awesome 3 inch scar to show for it.
3. I’m wondering when I’ll finally grow out of feeling socially awkward in most situations.
4. I’d like to find ways to use my visual skills for good instead of evil, and still be able to pay the bills.
5. I feel both extremely lucky for and tied-down by owning things.
6. I’d like to travel to South America soon. Or at least somewhere that is just warm and sunny.
7. I have a weakness for Eggs Benedict. Especially with Angelo’s hollandaise. Mmmm.
8. I love KEXP. (I’m listening right now) I’m glad I have an alternative to all that Clear Channel crap.
9. I have been extremely influenced by all the siblings, cousins, and family friends I grew up with. A little piece of everyone lives on inside of me.
10. One of my favorite things my dad has said to me is “Don’t worry, if you want it that bad you’ll make it happen.” So far it’s always been true for me.
11. I am extremely thankful for all the opportunities I’ve had that got me to where I am today.
12. I’m planning on applying to grad school soon even though I’m not entirely sure if it’s actually a good idea to uproot myself when I’m in a pretty good place right now.
13. I’ve been in Seattle for almost 7 years now. I’m feeling the urge to try out a different city for a while even if I ultimately end up back in Seattle.
14. I’m constantly amazed by how many “successful” design firms are out there that are so awful. It just makes me want to start one.
15. I’m thinking it would be fun to start a design collective so we could work together on fun projects we’re interested in doing just for fun.
16. Mentoring makes me appreciate all the stuff teachers have to put up with.
17. I’m thinking of taking aerial classes again but I haven’t really worked out in so long I’m afraid I’ll be even worse at it this time around.
18. A lot of people have floated in and out of my life, I wish I was better at keeping in touch with them all.
19. I feel like my blog has gotten a lot less personal over the years. Maybe I just have less angst these days. Or I’m just a lot more shallow.
20. I once won a go cart from one of those drop your name in a box things at Petsmart, which is probably why I always enter contests. You just never know.
21. I’m a terrible swimmer. I didn’t really learn how to swim properly until highschool and I’m still not really any good at it.
22. I feel like I have all these little ideas just waiting to be born.
23. I’d like to make a music video at some point in my life.
24. I’m going to be 24 this year. Legitimately in my mid 20’s. Growing up is kind of weird.
25. I wish I could be one of those cool ride-your-bike-to-work people, but I’m terrified of getting hit by a car in the city. And riding up big hills.
[3 people have tagged me on this on Facebook so here it is, although posted on my blog (and imported to facebook) for posterity I'll tag the next via Facebook.]
