• I don't really like tea. I like the idea of tea on a cold day, for a sore throat, or as a wake up call, but I just don't seem to have the taste buds for it.
• I am nostalgic. I like to look through old e-mails, journals, drawers. I think I am scared that I will forget, that once a second passes it will never occur again. It scares me that so much of life disappears. So I document it. Maybe that's why my computer disk is always too full.
