I once had a signature perfume made for me that blended tuber rose, gardenia, and jasmine. It was divine, but it's not very ~me~ anymore. It was a very young scent filled with promises and innocence. LOL, CAN YOU TELL I'VE BEEN DRINKING? I think now, the one scent that I can always pick up on is Guerlain's Shalimar. It's too old for me right now, but when I've had more life experiences I'll totally spend a $100 on a bottle. As far as a sentimental scent goes, it probably a weird combination of powder and hospital antiseptic from wearing those hospital gloves. I've always associated it with my mother. Weird.

Don't know if I'd call it my favorite, but I've mainly been listening to Arcade Fire this past week.

Buy a ton of candy and booze, max out my credit card on frivolous shit, tell certain people to go fuck themselves, grab the dog, the best friends, the ex, and find a boat to sail into the ocean to meet the end together and without remorse.

Have my mutant powers emerge alternately titled receive my Masters degree and get a grown-up job.

I am totally overrated. 100% overrated.

I like the idea of being intangible, but that's kinda lame. I want something completely badass, but not obvious like ~flames~ or something. I want a healing factor though. Oh! I totally want some mutant magick powers that don't make me go apeshit bananas like Wanda.

For serial? Not to sound dirty, but I suck lollipops. I really don't understand the concept of licking it. It would take a bajillion years to finish it. WHO HAS THAT AMOUNT OF TIME ON THEIR HANDS? Also, Tootsie pops are disgusting.

Every day. Every damn day. On the flip side, I also take credit for a lot of my own fuckery.

I'm pretty sure the answer to this is Young Jedi Knights series by KJA and KJA's wife.

My favorite opera, hands down, is Tristan und Isolde by Wagner. In the event I was still singing professionally, I would be training for this grueling role every fucking day. It is the most physically and emotionally taxing role for a dramatic soprano. I feel that a lot of dramatic sopranos that tackle the role today do not give it the gravitas that it deserves. This opera has actually killed people. (I'm not fucking lying. Look that shit up on wikipedia, it's real.) And dear sweet baby Jar Jar, this opera changed the face of music at the time. Ever heard of the "Tristan Chord"? This was the first step in the disintegration of harmonic tonality. It is so crazy shit. It is also the most romantic and moving of all music. I am in tears by the 12 measure of the prelude. Don't even get me started on the Liebestod (literally "love death") that is Isolde's final aria. It is the ultimate experience of sexual and pure love. The music is actually representative of intercourse throughout the entire opera complete with leitmotifs for each character as well as emotion.
Let me just leave you with this: there would be no, as Paul Bateman puts it, "oxygen of Star Wars" if we didn't have this opera.
Homework:

HRMMM.
I'll go with Tony Stark circa SHRA. -
That would be awkward.

A blog....
The raison d'être of a blog is simple. It's one person's or one group's feelings, thoughts, and reactions on some type of matter.
It can be life, niche related (Star Wars, Sci-Fi, comics, RDJ, etc.), current events, food, travel, etc. It is an extension of someone's train of thought. It is a platform for expression and content.
I blog; therefore, I am. (haha) -
No, you are like one of those awesome World Nature Banks in happy Europe land. I coming to your house for the zombie apocalypse.
