oo great about-me! you have amazing answers!
i love jane eyre, she is very inspiring
chagall is like falling into a dream whenever you look at one of his paintings
i agree, you won't be looking for happiness once you've found it
apathy is my worst fear, my "friend" and i met up for a quick dinner a week ago, hadn't seen each other in a month, and suddenly realized we disagreed on everything. she complained i was too whiny, but when i asked her how her life was going she said she was apathetic, like that was much better...
I'm stealing this....though it may take me a bit to post it. Thanks!
