Writing; hanging out with my friends and family taking pictures and videos and turning them into scrapbooks and music videos; going on trips to Vegas with my best friend, meeting new people and never seeing them again; driving for hours listening to music; dancing like I know what I'm doing, and doing strip teases... in front of a mirror.
