State of (my) Mind: Part II

Random stuff about me:

-Song that is currently stuck in my head: "Homeward" by The Sundays (check out their album "Static and Silence")
-Best friend in the whole world: Katie Crowe (aka Dillon)
-Favorite "don't tell anyone I like this song" song: "Gold Digger" by Kanye West. Can't help but move to it.
-How many times I've had my heart broken (the legitimate "can't-get-over-it-for-months and can't listen to particular songs for fear of losing it" type): 3
-How many times I've broken someone's heart: 2
-Favorite pet: my dog "Jack", who tragically ran away while I was out of town. I should count that as one more heartbreak....
-Favorite food: anything ethnic: sushi, indian, thai, japanese, mexican, ethiopian....
-Thing I miss most about Atlanta: Mike
-Best concert I've ever been to: either Radiohead or Coldplay.....although, The Cure was pretty good as well
-How many times I've been skinny dipping: zero (it'll happen one day)
-My biggest secret(s) right now: 1) I have a completely innocent crush on a guy who's definitely taken, 2) I'm still not over the last guy who broke my heart (but I'm not letting it get in the way)
-My biggest fear: losing someone I love
-Biggest regret: letting go of a dear friend when he needed me the most
-Dream vacation: backpacking through Europe (so cliche)
-Best vacation: cross country road trip from Atlanta to Wisconsin to Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon back to Atlanta. Or, Atlanta to Yellowstone to Seattle to Sacramento (via Hwy 101) to Salt Lake City to Atlanta.
-Favorite comic strip: "Get Fuzzy"
-Place I'd like to go after I graduate: Good question!! Ann Arbor, Chicago, DC....? who knows
-Best "relax and unwind music": David Gray, The Sundays, classic Ella Fitzgerald, and many, many more
-Favorite comfy-clothes: scrub pants and a t-shirt
-What I like the most about my sister: her (blunt) honesty...she doesn't beat around the bush and I need that sometimes
-What song I'm listening to right now: "C'mere" by Interpol
-What makes me absolutely, completely happy: my nephew Josh
-How I'll change the world: solving the problem of availability of simple medical treatments in underserved populations
-What I want to learn how to do (or become better at): tons of things! photography, glass blowing, stained glass, sewing, painting....how to manage time more efficiently :)
-How I resemble my parents: I have my dad's appreciation of the arts and culture; I have my mom's compassion for other people (not to say that either lacks the other's trait)
-Scariest "I can't believe I just did that" experience: crawling through a drainage pipe and up a very tall ladder to get to a platform in the middle of a reservoir
-Biggest change in the past year: new perspective on my strengths and understanding my weaknesses
-The song that stops me in my tracks: "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" by Jeff Buckley:
"Broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it.......
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon the shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smile when I slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever"
-What I should be doing right now: STUDYING!!

I told you it was random..... :)

nice random pieces of info in that entry janine, way to keep from studying a bit longer as well. also glad you decided to come out saturday as i would agree that it was a good time too (and i wouldn't have predicted it, especially with that sweater party, haha). ok, perhaps my time-wasting is done for the evening and i can finally get some work done! <:><
