when presented with the opportunity to make a wish, i always wish for the same thing.
i've got a serious case of wanderlust and my guilty pleasures are too numerous to name...

i like to watch boxing a whole lot.
i also like to sip tea out of dainty ceramic tea cups.
one extreme or the other, please. i don't handle the grey area very well.

Two lumps please
You're the bee's knees
But so am I
- The Smiths


Happiness is in the taste, and not in the things. - La Rochefoucauld
