15 - www faves.

(full list) - 15 - your favorite websites.

these are the sites bookmarked on my browser, that i visit on a daily basis -- which means at least once a day, but realistically -- i'm probably bouncing between these sites all day, every day. in no particular order:

• facebook
• tumblr
• reddit
• adthe.net
• grooveshark
• postsecret
• orphan photos
• christine chang
• hulu
• netflix

and i look at a lot of photography/photographer websites, with a list of favorites way too extensive to put up. (wait, ok, here are some: dina goldstein, aaron nace, dan martensen...) i did include cc though, because, well - i literally go her blog every day in hopes of finding an update. whether i'm in a sappy, happy or angry mood - i always find what i'm looking for when i get there.

day 14 - memory.

(full list) - 14 - your earliest childhood memory.

a little backstory as to how shitty my memory is, i started kindergarten when i was five, and it was around that time when our family took a trip down to disneyworld. i only know this, because there's a whole album of pictures at my mom's house. but, i have no recollection of this trip, what-so-ever. none. in fact, there was a period in middle school (before i had even seen the disney pictures) where i accused my parents of lying to us about taking all these trips as kids... because if i didn't remember them, they never happened. to this day, the only memories i have from disneyworld are the ones i made when i went at twenty-three.

i guess my first real memory was from pre-k. halloween. i was going as a cat. it was a weird looking cat, almost like a cat/puppy breed (think ren and stimpy, what was stimpy?) -- and i remember before i left to go to school, my dad took my mom's eyeliner pencil and drew on some whiskers for me. that's my first memory that wasn't sparked by a photograph. and one of my favorites.

day 13 - wanderlust.

(full list) - 13 - somewhere you'd like to move or visit.

this question falls along the same lines as, "what's your all-time favorite band, or movie." impossible. the list of places i want to see are endless, that's the easiest way to answer that. i will never say "no" to a trip, so long as i can afford to go. LIVING, on the other hand - is something a little different, and also something i've given quite some thought to as of recently.

i've always loved vancouver. still do. a big part of it is that my (extended) family is there... but also - the city is freaking amazing. too bad they don't just let anyone emigrate to canada... you need to pay some freaking dues... but, it's a dream. i've also considered seattle. i went once when i was a kid, and loved it. i love anything by the ocean with mountains as a backdrop. my hometown of chicago is always on the back burner and i've also considered a completely different continent, just to learn a different language, culture -- lifestyle... why not?

but, i've spent the last decade living in what a lot of people argue to be, the "greatest city in the world." that's a bold statement. i get why people think that, but suffice it to say that my relationship with this city would have to be the quintessential love/hate kind. i suppose the love outweighs the hate by at least a small margin, otherwise, i woulda blown this popsicle stand a long time ago.

30 day challenge.

i started this months ago -- decided to ditch it, because that's who i am... and am now going back to it. i have all the ones i've done so far on my old blog, so i'm going to spend some time bringing them over here (backdating the entries to the dates and times i originally posted them) and try my best to finish this up before i take off for jamaica.
