• to find a good forum and become an integral part of its community (this might sound dorky and lame, but once i stumbled upon a really cool forum in middle school that doesn't exist anymore and i always thought they had neat discussions. these days all the forums i find are crappy, although i don't look too hard.)
• to be able to go see Genius Party with a small group of friends at that festival in DC this February (and the Yayoi Kusama art exhibit)
• if my dad won the lottery
• to have one of these nifty scarves

• if winter break wasn't over yet
• a pleasant outing in general. i haven't gone anywhere lately where i've actually had that great of a time.
• if art books weren't so expensive, especially Japanese ones that are actually supposed to be a lot cheaper.
• to have more energy on a day-to-day basis
• to know a lot about computers. i've always wanted to but it feels kinda overwhelming to try now.
• if something other than my self portrait would impress people. it really isn't good enough for all the praise it gets.
