Josh -- I love TMNT. XD I used to have about 60 figures, I'd say... oh, and the sewer playset. XDD I guess when my mom was in the hospital after my little sister was born, I slept on the couch downstairs with my dad.... well, I had just gotten the playset, and it was just metres away from me... Apparently I used to fall off the couch and roll over to it every night. My dad ended up laying a path of pillows where I would roll, because it was exactly the same each night.
Probably my biggest wish was to grow up, that is, I wanted to be an adult. Now that my "dream" has practicly come true, I wish only for the opposite.
Let's see... My love for Japan probably started with the Anime trend here in North America. Sailor Moon was my first Anime, I think, and I absolutely loved that show. I remember watching it every day at lunch at my grandma's house. And then Pokemon came along etc etc...

Now, I'm an artist, and that is always what I've wanted to do. For a long time, I wanted to do Anime, and so that likely has something to do with my love for Japan.
For a while, my biggest dream was to have a dad who cared about me... I was so desperate for it, that I thought every boyfriend my mom had would be my "new dad." But now, I've let that go, because I realize it isn't going to happen.
My dream now is to have my own family.
