What I wanna be when I "grow up":

Uh... I smoke marijuana when I can get it. Will this be censored? Time will tell.
I like cold beverages.
I like poetry, and I like the snow. I like Hemingway. I like Frost. I like Dostoyevsky. I like cummings. It's just got to make me dream a little.
Things that p**s me off:
School
The emptiness of my wallet
Close-minded people
Living a $3.00 train ride away from all my friends
Hormones
Israel's treatment of Palestinians, and
Oppression anywhere and in any form, including
Censorship (cough BBC cough)
My biggest fear:
Not living life to the fullest extent that I can. Being boring.
What do I want: Good friends, good job, good sex, a lot of thinking and a lot of doing, a little bit of culture and a lot of laughter, a couple more fluencies in good languages, something or other published, a lot of perfect afternoons, starry nights, fresh mornings, a little bit of excitement, dew on the grass, a warm bed, family, travel, simple pleasures, kids, joys, sadness, more joy, and good friends to be there. The sunlight on the trees in my forest.
I think I've cheered a bit since last updating the entry. Score one for ioreth, and bitter teenagers everywhere.
