7. Who’s Your Best Friend? Usually when I think of my best friends, I automatically think of The Gang ((a title I gave when I got tired of saying everyone's name; and made it easier for my parents to know who I was hanging out with, lol)). Not all of the original Gang members are around like they used to be... and newcomers have come and gone on whether they were considered part of the Gang or not. Currently the Gang consists of: Ame, Rini, Brit, YKW, and Shadow.
I met Ame in the 5th grade. She was the first person I ever considered being a "Best Friend." All of the other friends I had made before her were simply "friends" or in some instances "acquaintances" (because they usually moved during the summer after the school year I met them; or we never got any closer). We are quite the opposites. She was outgoing, I was introverted. She's the oldest of her family, I am an only child. She loves to debate, I prefer keeping peace. Despite the various differences, we became best friends, and even soon earned the title "Twins" from quite a few people, because we hanged out so much and soon we were able to finish each other's sentences - or sometimes say the same thing at the same time. After high school, we didn't hang out as much as our lives took us in different directions. I started community college, she mostly worked. Then she ended up getting married and moved to Germany (because of being an Army wife). We still stay in touch, but not as much as we used to. While I still consider her a best friend... I can definitely tell there's been some changes. Some of them I'm not so keen about. But I do my best to adapt and accept who she is and who she is becoming.
Ame ended up introducing me to Rini during 7th or 8th grade. Rini is an artistic person, and is introverted like me. While the two of us don't have as much history as Ame and I do, we still are pretty close. With Ame being off in Germany, Rini has taken on the role of being the closest best friend for me.
Brit - I've known her since I first started public school. We had some classes together, and her Mom was my bus driver for the first few years of school. It wasn't until the end of high school and into my college "career" that I crossed paths with her again and actually developed a friendship with her. Lately, together with Rini, the three of us have been hanging out with each other.
YKW - another person I've known since the beginning of public school days and didn't become friends until my high school days. He is now the husband of Ame. Before he married her, he was the boyfriend of another friend of ours, Shell (who was a previous member of the Gang) - which is how he became part of our circle of friends.
Shadow - met him during my Senior year of high school and became friends with him. It wasn't until the end of my community college days that we crossed paths again, and he seeked out my friendship again. I think it was mostly because he needed someone who would be a good influence for him, especially when most of his other friends ((some are now ex-friends)) were bad influences - which resulted in getting him into trouble and what not.

8. What’s Your Childhood Dream? When I was younger I wanted to be a teacher. While I never specified a subject, I'm pretty certain it would've been English, since that has been my favorite school subject since my first year of public school. Traveling was probably something that interested me - probably thanks to Star Trek (("Space The Next Frontier")). I'm sure I probably dreamed about traveling through space on a Spaceship like Enterprise or Voyager. When I was younger, I didn't think much about my own future family. Probably wasn't a big issue/concern for me during that time. Finding a man who I was happy with and getting married, definitely seemed to be important to me... especially during the journals I wrote during the period of my first crush. I always wanted a nice house with a nice garden with a nice long driveway ((with trees on each side)), and animals ((usually cats [favorite animal], dogs, and horses [favorite animal])).
Now a days, my dream career has changed to being an author. I still consider being a teacher, if life decides to take me down that path. And lately I've been thinking of owning my own bookstore, if I had the money to get one started. Usually I think of the small bookstores you find in the towns by the beach around here. And I always picture having a cat in my bookstore, like all of the bookstores I've been to at the beach. When it comes to having a family, I mostly have been focusing on finding that special someone who I will be happy with and want to spend the rest of my life with. I can picture how I want my wedding to be, for the most part anyway, but the one key part that still is missing is the groom. As for kids? While occasionally I do like the idea of having kids of my own, I don't consider it a major concern at this time. Currently working towards my Bachelor's degree; I always dreamed of going to WSUV, so in a way, I am making that brief dream come true. Still working towards getting a job and making that dream come true. And after getting into the Sherlock Holmes series, I've been joking that I should work to get my Doctorate, so I can say I'm "Dr. Watson". xd Overall, I think I'm staying true to my dreams. Some things may be taking longer to accomplish and make the dream come true (i.e. traveling)... but I still have quite a bit of my life in front of me. When I get the time (and money), I'll make sure to fulfill many of my dreams that I have.
"Today's Dream, Tomorrow's Reality" as I say. 3nodding
