now and then: i want

So I googled myself, and I'm very google-able, and I found my OLD blogger. What was most interesting was the list of what I wanted at the time... May 2005. What a major MAJOR difference: not only does it say I want to get married, but it says I want ROMANCE.

Vomit.

Anyway, it inspired an up-to-date "I Want" list:
