Oh Danny Elfman; you never cease to be incredibly insightful.

"We Close Our Eyes" by Oingo Boingo 

We close our eyes
We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around again

When everybody is running in the big race
And having a good time
Who am I to cast a shadow
Who am I?
I looked Death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror
And he simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream ...

And if you come to me
And if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear
Who am I?
And if you think I'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late
We might start falling
If we don't try to hard
We might start falling in love

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream ... 

We're on the healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride
That could never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try
To make the seconds count
Then we can close our eyes

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream ... 


We close our eyes and the world has turned around again 

What do you find challenging?

Math and Science.  Fo sho.  My mind simply does not comprehend certain aspects of these academic fields.  It is also very challenging for me to hold my tongue in certain situations.  Many situations in fact.  I'm a very opinionated person and have an incredibly hard time keeping my opinions to myself.  I'm also really, really bad at having self-control.  I don't think about consequences before I do something.  Also New Year's resolutions.  Those are incredibly challenging.  Pretty much failed every single one.

What do you find thrilling?


And this is where my lack of self-control comes in handy.  I am thrilled by adventure.  Who isn't?  And because I don't think about consequences, I often times live in a world of adventure.  I also am very thrilled by living vicariously through characters in books.  Especially Katniss.  She rocks.

What are three memories you haven't yet created but you would like to?


It is very hard to plan your memories.  But there are a few that I think many people aspire toward.  Here goes:
I would love to remember graduating from college with my degree.  That would be nice to have in the past and look on with warm fuzzy feelings.
I would like to remember my wedding day and the joy that will (hopefully) come along with it.
I can't wait to remember giving birth to my children.  I am told that the moment you first hold them in your arms and realize you have created them is both absolutely remarkable and terrifying.

Are there things in life you wish you could reverse or make right?


This is tough.  I don't believe in reversing or rewinding things.  That doesn't mean I don't have regrets.  But I don't think I would want my regrets to be taken away.  There are, however, many things I would like to make right.  But I don't think I will.

• Make up with Marco.  Be his friend again.
• Talk to Marc.  Tell him what he meant to me.  And how he hurt me.  
• Cut off Drew's balls.
• Tell Alina the truth about what happened and see if it changes anything.  
• Tell Amanda I finally understand.
• Yell at Travis.  Then thank him.

I know I won't do these things.  At least not anytime soon.  

Do you feel like you have enough money to live the way you want?

Is it just me, or have I answered this question?  A million times.  No!

Are you happy when you think of the upcoming day and all that comes with it?

Not everyday.  I'm only human.  There are definitely days when I wake up and want the day to be over already.  But there are also those days that I know are going to be absolutely amazing.  But those are both fairly rare occasions.  Generally, when I think of the upcoming day, I think about everything that needs to get done.  Then I think about how to best postpone those things.  Then I do them.  And spend my time instead being happy about my upcoming life :)

Because it's been a while.

Pondering my past and making plans for my future.

What do you want to pass on to your children?


Wisdom I guess.  I want them to learn from my mistakes and not be worried about making their own.  I want them to love people and not be bullies, to be tolerant, musical, creative, and bright.  I want them to love God and know of His existence, appreciate little things, and count their blessings.  If they have illnesses of the mental or autistic kind, I want them to know how to handle them and to (hopefully) learn from my experience and manage them earlier rather than later.  And I want them to love, love, love life.  And the Beatles.  And LOST.

What is something you have never tried but would like to?


I can answer with the same ol' same ol' like skydiving, cliff jumping, or running a marathon (although I don't particularly want to do that).  But I shall try to be unique.  Hmm. . .  I want to build a tree house.  A massive one!  Like Tarzan's or the Swiss Family Robinson's.  Also, I would like to walk on hot coals.  Like Pam does.  It seems to have been a very enlightening experience for her.  I would like to be enlightened.  I also want to survive in the wild.  And learn to shoot a bow and arrow.  And be brave enough to admit and chase after my dreams.  There are lots o' things I want to try.
