I woke up from the first dream I could ever recall, in which I went to Safeway with my mom and decided to play a game of hide-and-seek, somehow becoming a jug of milk with only my face as a differentiation from the other jugs. My mom put me in the cart without realizing it, and as she put me onto the conveyor belt to have everything scanned, I turned back into myself.

For my tenth birthday, my parents took me to finally get my first leopard gecko - a young tangerine morph that I named Phoenix for his bright fiery colors.
