Let's get one thing straight. I'm not.

I'M hooked on canvas shoes.

I own quite a collection-- Being a Converse junkie such as myself, it's practically a requirement. You just can't stop at one pair. Ever heard of Converse Down Syndrome? ...Me neither, but I've got it. I actually bought myself a new pair at Journey's for my birthday. They're good-looking shoes and are simply smashing with the right hoodie, but sheesh! They're the least practical shoes in existence! You can't walk a mile without getting a bloody sore from it, AND don't even get me started on how complicated it is to lace them!

Well, something had to give, right?

I'm mentioning my love for shoes BECAUSE I'm working on a head-to-toe make-over for myself. I woke up with the sudden urge to dance as if the world was my stage, and I was the spotlight of the show. I woke up with the urge to act. xD

I think I can make it big. And then, in the future, I'll be on some high school news paper that reveals me at the epitome of my career and success, and in the commentaries below it would state:

Famour A-lister actress Tai Yang (above) did not make her middle school play, yet she overcame these obstacles and now has three golden globe awards and an Oscar for best actress of the year.

That would be epic! And it wouldn't take much to look the part, either.

Losing a bit of weight? Easy peasy.

Highlighting and cutting my hair? Consider it done.
Waxing my eyebrows? Pffttt, chyeah.

Anything else would just be overkill. Nobody wants to be a barbie replica, complete with matching Ken doll and superficial standards of beauty that seems to delight the anorexic all across the globe.

Gah! What I would give for 10,000 dollars and a day at the mall. But before all of that, I figured I might as well finish up my education. I'd like to go to Art School in NYU and graduate with a Masters Degree, and then pursue an acting career. I wouldn't change anything about my personality. I've never been much for fitting in-- I like standing out. Much more roomier, I think. Gives a person breathing space rather than trying to squeeze yourself into a narrow way of thinking.

Maybe I can land a role as a tomboy-ish lesbian hearthrob. A series for a mature audience, since I wouldn't mind going for a sex scene. Then, I'd work in other eccentric films for the Sundance Film Festival and star in movies that hits the big screen. Indie movies like Juno and Nick and Norah's catch my interest the most :]

At age 25, I would retire and just roam the world. Go backpacking through Europe, surf by the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, travel and get to know India and it's culture, spend a year getting in touch with my Asian roots, and return back to America after 5 years. I'd become an advocate for Gay Rights, donate 1/5 of my income to charities every year, and adopt a kid.

And after all that is over, I'd use my degree to get a job as an Animator in the Nickelodeon Head Studios and live in The Big Apple.

As for marriage, I'll let those pieces fall where they may. ;]

Dare to dream.
