Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
the one that makes me scream, she said
the one that makes me laugh, she said
and threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it and I promise you,
I promise that I'll run away with you

I'm ready to find my thing. You know, the thing I'd be remembered for. The thing that'd make you think of me every time someone else tried to do it, the thing I could do so well it'd practically define me. The thing that when people asked me what I did, I could say, I do this, and show them, and they'd be floored.
And I'm not only being egotistical. No, really, I'm not. Selfish, yes, but only because I want something I can really do and not question it. Neurotic, yes, because my 24th birthday is coming up and it makes me feel ridiculously old and I still don't know what the hell to do with my life. And insecure, yes, because I wonder what people have when they don't have a thing. But egotistical? Nah. I could give a shit about fame, money...but to wake up every morning and know what I was doing?
That would be fucking priceless.
* What's your thing, and how did you find it?

....OK, enough gushing, first of all, your profile pic is beautiful. Your 'thing' seems to radiate from you. I hope to meet you in person some day, as I wouldn't mind having some time in that lime light that you shine....omg, cheesy, but true!
Lastly, (again, I hate this word, but dammit, it just fits so....well...ugh...) I think my 'thing' is my tenacity....now it's just a means of chanelling it into the right vein....oh, and I can network the pants off of just about anyone! lmao....ok, self horn tooting officially OVER!
