Before I'm 39.

1. First and foremost, I'd like to finish my novels. Because, they are honestly the one thing in my life that I've done to be proud of. They have plot and character development and I feel if I were to finish them -I could really make something of them. It doesn't matter if they are popular or not, I want to properly finish something entirely in my life.
2. Perhaps it's not great that my second achievment involves another person, but I don't care because this person is incredible. Her name is Regina and she lives in The Phillipines. And before I'm 39 I want to meet her, in The Phillipines, with Oreos and ice-cream. And music.
3. See La Dispute live, in concert, and dance to The Last Continent. I want to scream the lyrics at the top of my lungs, jump and yell against people I don't know but that won't matter -because if you like La Dispute, with all your heart then there's a reason for it. A real reason.
4. Work in a book store. They're actually my passion -books and music. But, I think if it came down to it books are much better. Because books are written by the author and for the author. People talk all the time about the context, and who the audience is -but books are written for the people who write them. And that's it. Good books have the author's inner-most thoughts and feelings threaded into their pages, for the reader's to move through and un-stitch.
5. Live in London, with a flat that has the view of the city. So I can sit out there and smoke as the sun sets.
6. Be hugged in the rain. When I'm wrapped up nicely and they rest their forehead on my shoulder. It's cold, and we're both shiverring and there's a paved street beneath out feet. Then there's the build up, when they pull back just slightly and I look up to meet their gaze. Then slowly (that's important) they'll run my hand up my neck until they reach my jaw line, they'll tip up my chin as they step impossibly closer. The build up is what I like the most, the pounding hearts and the panting breath. When you don't speak and you just look at each other. That's the best.
