How I did it
How to have conversations late into the night with fascinating people
It took me
4 months
It made me
happy

How I did it: It [usually] starts with a simple, "Hi, my name is _____. How are you?" An introduction starts a short conversation. After a while each conversation and passing "hello!" turn into longer and longer conversations, and before you know it, you're talking for hours and hours, on into the night. Read how I did it…

make a difference in someone's life

Definitely worth doing. I don’t know what else to say about it.
All it takes is a little love.
Try to love, show someone you love them, and be there for them. Always be ready to listen, always be there to pick up the pieces. If you can, try to keep them from doing stupid stuff, but sometimes it just takes letting them hurl themselves into their own destiny, and being ready to pick up the pieces when it’s all over with.

Just because you get to a point where you can say you’ve completed this goal, never stop trying, never stop loving.

buy a digital SLR
Postponing 19 months ago

I’m postponing the save-up-money-to-buy-a-dSLR until I actually get a job, hopefully halfway through the summer … then I can put aside a certain amount of each paycheck, still have some spending money for important stuff, etc, etc. Trying to spend absolutely no money whatsoever (which isn’t much) didn’t work out so well … but if I get a job it can go straight to the bank and never pass through my hands ….
