oh! i didn't think about a train ride! perhaps because i used to ride the train when i was a child..
and, yes, colours, i love colour!
this is why i like these, not to do them myself, to see what amazing answers i get from others so i can say, "OH NO!!! i didn't think of that!!"
Very good list!
This is nice to read, a little window to you! I also have some Sting I could listen to again and again.
I also want to own my very own home someday, not like the last two times with a man on the title.. Just me.. Sigh...
thank you, quin, abbagal and babyisland...
You've heard Desert Rose, Fields of Gold? The thing with Sting is I have phases of Sting-mania. And then I don't.
great meme! *real* is a very important vibe for me to get from a friend as well.
