I Love Your Blog Award!

Preface: being blog-tagged reminds me of those email surveys people used to send to their friends back when the internet was still a relatively new mainstream phenomenon. I just can't help feeling like a teenager again whenever I do these things.

2. Where is your significant other? hopefully not too far away.
3. Your hair color? brown

7. Your dream last night? I don't remember it.
8. Your dream/goal? create the art I feel the need to create
