I'm really hoping to one day ask that "big" question too, we once said we wanted to spend our lives together and I told her that I would only ever ask that question again bit it would be worded diffrently... We have a big, beautifal and bright future ahead of us and that is what I want to do and have before I die, no crazy stunts or getting famouse/imfamouse, I just want a good long life with my Angel

Aww ED how sweet!! I just noticed this post. (where the heck have I been)
But I guess with all the stuff I posted for myself I'd have to agree with you.
Having a good life (well continuing the good life) I have with my beloved.
That's all the matters really

Awww Thanks Angel

I can teach you the omlette thing lol!!!!!!

Superb list Jen and everyone else as well.......

I don't really have any "big" dreams for the near future... though I suppose seeing as much of the world as I can would be amazing. I'd take my camera/a camera everywhere with me... then before I died I'd be able to relive my journeys... die surrounded by the beauties of the world...

But I do have some immediate hopes/dreams kinda on a time limit...
I want to get married within the next 1-3 years; the sooner the better.

My parents...
Well...
I was adopted by my grandparents but they are, to me at least, my true parents.
Their health hasn't been great in the past two years, but most notibly has gotten worse the past 6 months to a year.
I have serious doubts that I'll graduate in time for them both to be around... but that's definitely one of them.
I do... hope and pray with all my heart and soul I'll find someone I can marry... someone crazy enough to rush into this so that both my parents will be alive to see me truly happy. I've ALWAYS wanted a wife and children of my own... even have names picked out... but it just wont be as fulfilling without both my parents being able to witness it.

So I guess...
I want to find true love... to "fall in love with my best friend"... someone who knows how important communication is, that life isn't easy and some times you need to seek additional help outside the relationship to make things better... someone willing to put in as much effort into it as I've always done... someone who wont "give up" or "run away" and is willing to hold my hand as we work through it together.
I suppose that's my idea of the perfect relationship...
I've actually met a couple "potentials" but... obviously none of them have/are working out... and I doubt I'll be able to get married before one/both my parents pass away.

So this was my list months ago when we discussed this; and I just crossed off other on my list past week. Now the blue were goals I had already completed, and red is my most recent accomplishment.

This past Wednesday, I was on a bus going to Chelsea in NYC, to critique six galleries for my art class. While on the bus, and being without any i-pod or music device, I was getting a bit board, plus the shaking of the bus was making it a bit difficult to read my book. So I just mindlessly said aloud; "Why do you build me up" and then someone up front a moment later repeated "build me up". So I hear some people laughing, and I continue with; "Buttercup baby just to let me down" and the guy up front is on cue again with his "let me down" part. So off we go, with me singing the head lyrics and the guy in the front seat singing the echoing part, and we sing the entire Build Me Up Buttercup song. Halfway through, there were eight or nine other people singing with us, including three girls the seats across from me.

So everybody starts laughing and clapping, and then people on the bus started shouting out suggestions for other songs, including the bus driver. About twenty of us in all, end up singing:
Backstreet Boys "I Want It That Way"
David Bowie "Fame"
Digital Underground "The Humpty Dance"
A-ha "Take on me" (me and this cool kid covered the high-notes)
Micheal Jackson "Billie Jean" (which prompted a couple of kids to start dancing in the aisleway, so I joined in.


The whole bus got out on 10th and 23rd just laughing and joking, it was surreal and fun.

^^ That is both awesome and beautiful!! Hooray for benevolent chaos!
