Experience(s) that made you the person you are today: Everything.

What do you collect? Books, CDs, Movies

People you love: Everyone.

If you were trapped on an island, what three things (objects or people) would you bring with you? Why? Jason, cause he's my man; Kat cause she's my best friend; and nourishment, cause, well, you need things to eat and drink.

If you could have lunch with any three people (dead or alive), who would they be? Why? Um.. Jason, cause he's my man; Kat, cause she's my best friend; and *thinking* .. probably Martin Luther King, Jr.

What planet would you most like to visit? Why? Uranus.. *LMAO*.. kidding. I'd have to say, Saturn. Mostly because I think the rings would be fun.

If you could transport yourself back in time to deliver a message to your younger self, what would the message be? Why? Watch out for the people who want to use you to their own advantage - because it would make me less cynical as I grow older.

Your home is on fire (all living, breathing humans/creatures are safely out) and you have just enough time to grab three items, what would they be? Why? My Winnie The Pooh teddy bear, cause I've had that thing for going on 24 years and I can't sleep without him; my book bag because everything I need for classes are in it; and the video Adam, because it's out of print and I had to pay nearly $50 for it on Ebay.

What is the one thing you're the worst at? A direct quote from my grandmother: "You do all this writing, and yet I never see a letter."

What are your bad habits? (BE HONEST): *L*.. um.. let's see. I don't write letters. I overreact all the time. I'm grouchy in the morning.

What are your plans for the future? Hopefully I'd like to be writing.. doesn't matter what kind. Also married with a couple of kids - living somewhere in San Francisco, CA.

Jason
My love, my tormentor, my human teddy bear - without you, there would be no happiness, no sanity. You have taught me so many things in the past year and for that, I am grateful. But I thank you for loving me, even when it was most difficult to do so. I thank you for always giving me second chances, and always accepting my apologies. I thank you for holding me when I cry and for cuddling up to me at night. You are the keeper of my heart and you are my inspiration.

Kat
My best friend, my confidant, you are my laughter and my tears. Without you, I wouldn't know the meaning of true, bone deep laughter. You've taught me so many things, all of which I carry with me on a daily basis. You've changed my life and have made me expect the same things of myself as I expect in my friends. Though we've both become busy and hardly ever talk now, I still know you'll always be there for me, and for that I thank you. You are truly the closest friend I have.

Mom
Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Without you kicking me in the ass to jump-start my life, I probably wouldn't be in college. I most definitely wouldn't have met the love of my life. I thank you with my entire being for never judging me and always supporting me through whatever trials my life has put me through.

Paul
Paul, where do I begin? I don't even think there are any words. You were the first guy I opened up to. You were the first guy to give me the insight to the male mind. On more than one occasion, you have told me to never give up, to never let anything to get the best of me. And when I told you I had finally met someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, you expressed such happiness that I'd finally reached the same happiness you had and wanted me to have. I thank you for talking me out of numerous bad mistakes and for saving my internal views on life.

Morgana
Lord, girl. You are a trip. On more than one occasion, you've had me laughing so hard I've fallen out of my chair. You are the true imagination in this outfit and I thank you for taking the time to get to know me and inevitably, write a story with me. Thank you.
