Since I just turned 21, I figure that it makes sense to share 21 random facts about myself.

- I don't like birthdays, especially my own.
- I want to be a part of the EMS.
- I possess beliefs that require faith but in no way, shape or form does that mean I am immune to reason.
- I like to call my art abstract because it resembles nothing that actually exists in this world.
- I'm writing a book but the only part I really like (and have actually completed) is the prologue.
- No other drink, except water, compares to coffee.
- I would love to learn how to dance.
- I love the smell of freshly baked bread and chocolate chip cookies.
- I sleep on my right side but wake up on my stomach.
- I can't stand having pictures taken of me. I must take them myself.
- My favorite sport is hockey.
- I'd rather be hurt with honesty than placated with a lie.
- I really like writing letters (obviously, lol).
- I chose the car I currently own because of its name.
- I like pencils more than pens but I have more pens.  Go figure!
- I want to change the world.
- Cooking calms me down.
- When I'm truly angry or hurt, I can't speak.
- I want to live in New York.
- I wear a contact lense in my left eye but I never wear one in my right because it bothers me.
- I used to pretend my closet was an elevator because it had a fluorescent light.

I'm not interested in anything romantic and I abhor liars.

Please don't ask me to be your friend if we haven't talked. I'm sorry if that's rude but friendship implies some type of communicatio​n.

"I took Gotham's white knight, and brought him down to our level. It wasn't hard. Y'see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little...push."​

- The Joker

"It's very easy to be sarcastic about religion but it's much more difficult to take a stand."​

- The Boondock Saints

"If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there."​

- Unknown

"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."​

- Meet Joe Black

"There is a way to be good again."​

"I gave the notebook back to Soraya and left the room. Baba hated it when I cried."​

"I have been dreaming a lot lately, Amir agha. Some of them are nightmares, like hanged corpses rotting in soccer fields with blood-red grass. I wake up from those short of breath and sweaty. Mostly, though, I dream of good things, and praise Allah for that. I dream that Rahim Khan sahib will be well. I dream that my son will grow up to be a good person, a free person, and an important person. I dream that lawla flowers will bloom in the streets of Kabul again and rubab music will play in the samovar houses and kites will fly in the skies. And I dream that someday you will return to Kabul to revisit the land of our childhood. If you do, you will find an old faithful friend waiting for you."

- The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini)
