Learning how to ride a bike really well (like in traffic and track stands and skids--okay, skids are a little advanced for me right now), school supplies, specifically, Japanese pens. Japan, in general. Tattoos. Munchausen syndrome (and Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy).
People who live in Japan that will ship me nice pens and let me stay at their place when I come to visit. Also, anyone who will teach me how to ride a bike, both for fitness and on the city streets. That special someone has to promise not to laugh at me. And they can't live as far as away as Alexandria, or god forbid, St. Louis (unless monthly trips are arranged, in which case I will gladly accept your help and offer you a couch and some fun dogs to play with).
GWAR and The Kinks. Ohmygod, and Type O Negative... how could I forget them.
