What is the meaning of life according to you? The meaning of life? Wow, you don't give a girl any breaks, do you? Hmm... I'm only one-sixth of the way through life, so I don't promise any world-shaking truths, but I've always thought the meaning of life is to enjoy yourself and help as many people as possible while you're at it.

What is the purpose/goal of your life? I'm going to be honest, I've always had problems with this question. My current stance is "score ridiculously high on my ACTs, go to a great college on zillions of scholarships, and get the best job I can---one that pays enough for me to pursue the things I actually LIKE to do". Sadly, that's probably because I'm a senior and I have school counselors and college recruiters jumping at me from behind every corner. The truth is...I really don't know. I like my life the way it is, the way it's been for a very long time, and that leaves me purposeless. I'm going to be 18 soon. I'll have to make some decisions, and I think the coming changes are going to be horrible. Heck, moving across TOWN was difficult for me, how am I going to deal with college and getting a job and eventually moving AWAY? (Sorry for the teenage angst, but it's what we teenagers are best at, it seems.)

What colour are your dreams? A subdued mauve, almost grey, with occasional swirls of vibrant color. The color of fog passing through a garden.
Your mind? Bright cyan. Not the font-color, but the kind you see in paint tubes or ink cartridges. Blue, a calming color, yet in a form so sharp it hurts your eyes.
Your soul? Deep red, occasionally flaring up into a glowing orange. The shade of a dying fire, but one that could be reignited if the wind blows in the right direction.
Why? dreams Mauve's such a peaceful, dreamlike color. Also, whenever I wake up after dreaming, I'll be in such a haze that I can't remember anything but a few strong details of the dream.
mind Blue's the color of intelligence, if I remember right. I like to think I'm pretty bright, but nobody else seems to like that very much...and I've been a bit depressed lately...hence, the painful cyan.
soul I'm a calm person, so it's pretty hard to get me fired up. That's not to say that I'm not passionate about anything, so...oh, who am I kidding. I just love blood red, isn't that all the reason I need to pick it for a soul color?

And most importantly: Chocolate or vanilla? domokun Cinnamon! ...oh, hell, I actually have to choose, don't I? Vanilla. Preferably the kind made with real vanilla bean. It has a warm flavor, but not so rich that I get tired of it halfway through my ice-cream cone.
