You Should Travel to India
You're a passionate, gusty traveler - and India's gritty urban centers won't scare you away.
Maybe you'll take in the Taj Mahal, eat the best curry of your life, or attend a huge street festival.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd like to meet:
As cliche as it sounds: Down-to-earth peeps! BUT ones that I've *already* met @ least once in my life. And hopefully these people have strong interpersonal communication skills, aren't self-absorbed, are empathetic, & minimally judgmental. Oh yeah & NO FAKES or FLAKES or fair-weathered or overly fickle-minded folks. Also, no superficial or shallow individuals pls (gotta love the cliches!). BUT I don't just mean materialistically, as there are plenty of other ways of being superficial or shallow... Think about it...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~People who have my back.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~OH! And I'd love to meet anyone who's also been in a halo before (past or present)... And I did just that today 11/27/06!!! Yay!!! =D~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heroes:
my parents (popular answer for a reason) both my grandpas=RIP my doggy Buster=RIP my good/close friends,
my physical therapists (Suzanne/Tom/Lang/Eric/Nicole/Louise) my PT aides (Aaron/Apollo/Victor/Mario/Pablo/Mike/Doug/Josh) Brooke Ellison Christopher Reeve=RIP Paula Abdul for overcoming her battle w/ chronic pain Jim MacLaren James Blake the victims/survivors of 911 & the tsunami & Hurricane Katrina,
& any n all others who have overcome trauma/tragedy, and MYSELF.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~"I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." Christopher Reeve~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Jim MacLaren~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~James Blake "Now that I've fully recovered, I'm grateful for everything. I walk down the street and think, I'm not dizzy, my legs are working right, I can see straight and smell and hear clearly. It's a nice day. I have a family that loves me and friends who will be there no matter what. My father is with me. I'm competing again, and I think people are rooting for me. I have a new credibility with fans because they've learned that I don't have the perfect life. I'm like the character in a movie whose misfortunes help people relate to him. And I'm always aware that everything can go wrong, that it can all be taken away at any minute. Like I said, I feel much older than 25."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Tom Higgins "I think I do know my spirit better today than I did before. [The accident has] changed the way I look at life. I find myself grateful for being able to literally wake up in the morning, see the sun shining, my kids hugging me... little things."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~Rose Bard "I could feel my ankles crunch. It grabbed my legs so fast. It was just immediate pain and I was screaming for help and hollering for them to turn the machine off." Rose was trapped, completely conscious and in intense pain for two hours. Waiting for help, Rose was determined to survive. "At one point I thought, 'I don't really want to die here,'" she says. "I kept thinking, 'I have to make it out of here...'"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
