Stuff
So it was my birthday last Friday...I've existed for 24 years now. I guess you can say that I'm liking my life so far. I mean I am in the school I've wanted to get into since before I turned 17, New York University, living in the city I've wanted to live in since I was a tiny little kid watching the Cosby Show, and well I have my family and friends. It's not much, but it's enough for right now.
I know I wrote that my Birthday Sucked on MSN and YM and all that, but in away I sorta felt like it did suck...mostly coz I was turning 24...and I'm beginning to think that hitting the mid-twenties mark is OLD! I don't really feel old...mostly coz everyone seems to say I don't look more than 15 here (no I'm serious! I think it's coz I'm just a little shorter than the average towering Americans, hehehe), but knowing the fact that I'm actually 24, that I was born in the early 80s and that my cousins (who are so much younger that I am) and I have started to have this huge between us when it comes to like pop culture and stuff is just scary!
So basically I was sort of not liking the fact it was my birthday and I was getting older...and well my birthday was pretty boring consdering I had to be at work. I do want to thank my friend Emylia for buying me a cake and having a sort of get together right before my actual birthday.
Hmm...what else...oh yeah I found this survey on Nutty Nadia's blog the other day and sort of found the questions interesting. I also want a few of my fellow bloggers to answer them...so I am gonna TAG Lesly, Am, Yen, and Dnamight.

2. Where were you on september 11th, 2001?

3. What do you believe is the meaning of life?
Seriously, I’m still trying to figure that one out. I do believe we should all live each moment to its’ fullest and collect precious lessons and memories along the way. Life’s too short to waste thinking and wondering about what you SHOULD or SHOULDN’T have done…sure you have to think about consequences but if you feel it in your heart to do something, then take the leap and do it and hope and pray it’s the right thing, and well if it’s not…than you know better the next time around.

17. Who is your favorite artist?
Artist? It would help if you could be more specific, since there’s so many types of artists these days from painters, to performing arts people to anyone who’s even remotely creative are called artists these days. But since this isn’t specific to anything…I would have to say John Lennon.

I totally loved what Nutty Nadia wrote for this survey, that I’ll use it as my answer as well.
“it was the chicken, solely on the grounds that it could announce its existence first. if it was the egg then it just sat there quietly that no one bloody knew.”
23. Hershey or nestle?
Hersheys!!
24. Night out or night in?
I’m a night in sort of person.
25. Single forever with a great family or no family and your soul mate?
These are not great options…but if I had to choose I’d say option one. I love my family. Although, I would love to find my soul mate one day, if he’s out there…
