Strangely human, and brilliant. My dream is to make an impact, even if it's just on one person. I'd love to be the type of girl who can make a difference in someone's life, and who will be remembered for something unique, meaningful, and life-changing. Oh, and I want London Calling on vinyl, just to make life complete. That’s a beautiful dream. Strangely human, and brilliant.

I'm in school taking what I've always wanted to do. I've found the love of my life. I was allowed to propose to her on stage with Matt there. And, most importantly, I'm happy. My only dreams to accomplish now are more goals than anything, besides one. First, I dream of graduating, then going on to graduate school. To get married (and to have Matt there). To have children. To teach. To explore Mayan ruins and learn from them. To live comfortably, relaxed and happy. And, finally, I've always dreamed of going back in time and just watching The Beatles create. This, obviously, will never come true, but it's a dream. I’ve been thinking about this since first reading it and I’ve come to the conclusion that the majority of my dreams have already come true.

Any band would do really; I don’t really need to have a purpose on this tour. Perhaps just take some photos, but other than that I just want to be there for the ride and the shenanigans. But since I know no band that plans on going on a full Canadian tour nor am I musician myself, this falls into the category of the wild dream that will continue to fester in the back of my head.

It is such an unfair proposition for someone's life to end before they get a chance to try their life out on the big highway of existence. I am haunted by the memory of the kids I have known in my life who never got to see the other side of 14, 15, 16 or whatever age. My heart aches to think of what they could have learned, who they could have loved, what music they could have made and enjoyed. I don't get emotional over much, but just thinking about them flattens me. As for the lottery, I guess I subscribe to the "more money, more problems" philosophy, but I am sure I could find enough worthy directions in which to spread the wealth if a cool million or so suddenly made an appearance in my bank account. I always thought it would be an interesting trip to tour Canada from stem to stern in a vintage VW bus, too... Listening to your music on the radio waves on the East Coast tonight and enjoying it as always...keep up the great work!
