The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible and achieve it, generation after generation.

Dreaming and dreams (lucid or otherwise). I heart art, and I heart artists, and I heart a good heart, don't you?
I LOVE GUITARS! I like people who make clanging metal noises as well as people who sound like they're whispering into my soul...
I refuse to be cool.
I LOVE to cook... I'm practically veggie, but I'll cook anything. I love to watch people eat stuff I've made. Making a decent Margarita is a lifelong pursuit... I utilize the Sonni method, to maximum effect (credit where it is due).
Here are some fun places I have found to go...

Engrish
"People will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel." --Maya Angelou
