it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then

I dunno why?

1. My uncle once- I don't really know my uncles. One is a vegan and one lives in Dallas.

2. Never in my life have I- sang karaoke, but I have been working on my courage, I think the time is upon us very soon!

3. When I was five I- lived in south Florida and loved the beach.

4. High school was- painfully awkward, why didn't anyone tell me you had to talk to people to make friends?

5. I will never forget to- brush my teeth. I am a dental hygiene freak! I have Listerine in my purse always!

6. Once I met- two abandoned puppies who changed my life!

7. There’s this boy I know who- has a smile that could turn your knees to jelly- I don't really, but I would like to know a boy like this!

8. Once, at a bar- I saw an old Chinese man play the hell out of a guitar with his tongue. Totally creepy, but freaking impressive!

9. By noon, I’m- usually in the gym these days or in class. On weekends, usually at the beach or in my yard.

10. Last night I- saw the Vagina Monologues for the first time. I laughed and cried. Then, spent the rest of the evening referring to my vagina as an entity. Ex: "My vagina wants a Guinness, y'all need anything?"

11. If only I had- known how to help suicidal boys named Sean.

12. Next time I go to church- it will probably be someone's wedding or a historic church in a foreign place.

13. What worries me most is that- my mother may never be happy and I can't fix her.

14. When I turn my head left- I see my lovely doggies and my closet overflowing with clothing.

15. When I turn my head right I see- the gorgeous red desk I recently painted and my gorgeous red I-pod with "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." engraved on the back.

16. You know I’m lying when I- claim I don't ever get lonely.

17. What I miss most about the Eighties is- nothing, but I wouldn't mind a do-over, so I could go back and try to actually enjoy my childhood. All in all, I am glad to be a free adult, some homes aren't happy.

18. If I were a character in Shakespeare I would- probably be Puck or Viola, depending on my mood. "If we the shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended that you have but slumbered here, while these visions did appear. And as I'm an honest Puck, if I have unearned luck, now to scape the serpent's tongue. We will make amends er long. Else the Puck a liar call? So goodnight unto you all Give me your hands if we be friends and Robin shall restore amends." (A glimpse of some of the useless information in my brain.)

19. By this time next year I will- be almost a college graduate and probably know where I am going to graduate school.

20. A better name for me would be- Lola, I feel like I would be a great Lola.

21. I have a hard time understanding people who- don't think caring for the planet is their responsibility, don't pursue happiness, or who care too much about money and power.

22. If I ever go back to school, I’ll- get a masters in geospatial systems and a doctoral degree in environmental engineering, probably.

23. You know I like you if I- make up a pet name for you or feed you a special dinner. I like most people though, I probably like you, unless you are an asshole. ;)

24. The first person I would thank if I won an award would be- Sean Eagan for teaching me how to be a better person, my family for tolerating me, my dogs for making me into a semi-responsible adult and my friends for all the smiles!

25. Take my advice- savor every day, every taste, every kiss, every breath, every note, every word, every embrace, every moment- experience your life as it happens. Love your planet and don't ever be too busy to fight for a healthy world! Don't hold onto anger, life is too short too be bitter and people will always get what they deserve in the end. Leap without looking! Do something that terrifies you as often as possible. Go to New Orleans and eat well, meet crazy locals and hear an old man sing the blues. And remember to brush your teeth- white smiles are purty!!!!!
