Book covers

We all know the saying - never judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, the contents are just so obvious, other times, you get fooled. Today, I learnt some bits of info that reinforced my views of certain individuals, and other bits that completely took me by surprise. I guess it really is hard to know a person's story unless they're really open, or you get to know them better with time. Like tonight, those bits of information that surprised me still do not give me the full story, so I shall have to be patient and pick up clues and information as I go along.

Completely unrelated topic:
Lots of time to think about anything at all means that I'm starting to come up with a list of things that I'd like to have eventually, though hopefully I'll be able to afford them sooner rather than later :)

I know I've already had a car but I didn't buy it with my own money. Next time, I'd love a BMW, like the 1 series. I know most people would think that the 1 series is a waste of time as it's considered an 'entry level' car, might as well get the 3 or 5 series, but I quite like the size of the 1 series. And the 2-door version, particularly. However, if I have to be more practical, then I'd love a Toyota Prius, for its friendliness towards the environment and the wallet.

I have long coveted a Tiffany ring, and maybe one day I'll own one, when I have a job (and money) and pluck up enough courage to enter one of their stores! They look so posh! I normally consider my tastes to be pretty simple and classic. When I went shopping with B just before I left Melbourne, in a moment of madness, I chose what looked like a glitzy ring over a plainer one, and now I wonder why. So I know that if I were to get something that is worth quite a bit, I'd go simpler (but not too plain and boring). I guess being able to strike that balance will come with time. Everything takes time, it seems. Can someone please tap Hiro Nakamura's brain already so that we learn how to stop time??

Ooh, speaking of which, Heroes boxed DVD set. Released. Another item on my list :)
