I need to follow my own set of ethics so that I can look at myself in the mirror at the end of the day.
I need to have private space and the ability to take alone time, because social interaction can drain me.
Conversely, I need to have social interaction (in moderate and controlled doses).
I need my family - though that can be long distance.
I need to be able to be creative in some way.
I need a small group of friends.
I need to feel in control of my life.
I need to be able to laugh at things, and surround myself with people WHO (it wont let me uncapitalize WHO...WTF!) don't take life too seriously.
And last, but certainly not least, I need my iPhone.
