This story is inspired by Natasha Nichole Lake’s story of the similar title. I thought it would be something fun to share, so here it goes in no random order.

I have never drunk an entire cup of coffee in my life.

I tasted this beverage for the first time at 15 and immediately poured out the cup.

I want to own an independent bookstore.

It’s always been a dream for me to operate a retail literary cafe where individuals can purchase their favorite books, but also have authors do book signings for their fans.

I used to practice Bikram yoga.

I enjoyed practicing this yoga method until I decided to stop after watching the Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator documentary on Netflix.

I swam with a dolphin.

My love and fascination with these beautiful mammals developed after listening to Olivia Newton-John’s “The Promise.”

I want to write a speculative fiction and/or vampire novel.

I’m a huge fan of the late Octavia Butler. Vampires have always piqued my curiosity after seeing Dracula, the 1931 original movie starring Bela Lugosi.
