11 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME
1) I love reading, but sometimes my mind
takes me on its own current and I can't remember what happened in the book.
2) I love to remember the dreams I had, I
kept a dream journal for awhile.
3) It may take me a month or more to
finish a certain poem (it's the way I write, I take time for the poem to come
together).
4) Always wanted to write a book (which
now I just might)
5) I feel too much, for my own good.
6) Wanted to be a singer.
7) I was a cheerful child, but once I
stepped into school I became very sad and later somewhat depressed. I loved
learning, but couldn't find a connection with my peers.
8) I love Pink Floyd. (as does Anand,
sorry, had to steal that one)
9) I believe everything happens for a
reason. I have to remind myself of that from time to time.
10) Before I go to sleep I love to listen
to new music on youtube, mostly post-rock, which might inspire my brain to
dream or for an idea to spark.
