My dream home is a moderately sized place, well-manicured gardens outside with both vegetables and flowers, a small outdoor jacuzzi, and a view of a small lake. Inside, the house would be.. big enough without being too big. The rooms would be abuzz with activity: people talking, cats being cats, kids playing around. Someone would be cooking something nummy.. bread or cookies or apple pie or something that can waft through a house.
Do you ever sit and think about the days gone by, the days of sitting on Chaotic, the days of having sleep-overs with your friends, the days of... well, of being a kid...
...and just want to go back, and failing that, give up on the rest of life?
I do think about them. I often try to relive them in my own way, which is why I still enjoy video games and board games and other such like that. And hang out on AIM, occasionally, hoping someone goofy will show up to amuse me. :)
Most Important? Hmmm.... Believe it or not, I think it was probably "Jurassic Park". As an engineer and a science fiction buff, it's nice to imagine a beautiful, spotless future where we can all get along and travel space together on a huge spaceship and live the life we'd all like to live. Jurassic Park was, for me, the first Science Fiction that was based enough in reality to scare me. Here were people.. being people. In the end, alot of the characters were pretty bad stereotypes, but the idea that, because we're humans, we're fallible, we screw up.. that the new world could be as screwy and screwed up as the old one really hit a chord. This was before I knew what the internet really was. In alot of ways, the internet has proven that point. Time and time again, the internet helps connect us to the best we can be.. and the worst we can be. Jurassic Park probably helped to shape alot of my viewpoints on science, that things like Cloning may be a Really Bad Idea (tm) and should not occur just because we could.

That, in a nutshell, is my ideal house :)
