SENSE.of.HUMOR: i view this as the essential component of my personality. i find humor in most everything and believe that when you view the world through a humorous or comedic lens, everything is way more funner. As a natural internalizer, however, much of my humor is in the form of thoughts and ideas, not stand-up comedy. Sense of humor keeps me sane and always reminds me to never take things too seriously.
FAMILY: who would have sent me off on the bus each morning and helped me with homework upon my return? who would have been up at the crack of dawn to take me to hockey practice and better yet, to tie my skates? who would be sitting in the audience at my graduation and there to congratulate me afterwards? who would have taught me to be me? the answers to this would not be possible without the word listed above. everything that i have achieved is credit to them.
LITERATURE: from a young age i have been drawn, almost addictively, to reading. more importantly however, literature made the list because of the "place" it puts me in when i read it. i tend to enter this separate reality where worries and stress dissipate and my mind is free to wonder. these are the moments of subconscious living that i enjoy most.
IDEA UTENSILS: whether it be sketchbooks, pens, pencils, electronics, etc., all are necessary for the imagination to enter reality. i would have to say that this is the most recent addition to my list, as i never carried pens and paper with me, and now i have them overflowing out of every available inch of real estate on my body. in some unconscious stream of thought each and every morning, i pat myself down ("spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch") and cannot leave without the required pocket sketchbook and pen.
