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.
