			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month I saw this campfire post on <a href="http://www.jenrem.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.jenrem.com?referer=');">JenRem&#8217;s blog</a>, Absent Minded.   JenRem is another really awesome Michigan blogger.  Yay for mitten bloggers! <img src='http://rialeilani.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This a great way to get to know other bloggers and since the questions are from my own head they might be on topics she might not necessarily write about on her blog.   If you are interested in doing a campfire post with me leave a comment below or email me.  More info about the <a href="http://generu.wordpress.com/2009/08/30/the-campfire-network/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/generu.wordpress.com/2009/08/30/the-campfire-network/?referer=');">Campfire Network</a>.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegall/3832110779/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/joegall/3832110779/?referer=');"><img title="campfire" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2642/3832110779_140e5839ac.jpg" alt="via Joe Gall Photography" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">via Joe Gall Photography</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>If money and time wasn&#8217;t a problem, what degree would you like to have?</strong></span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12295814@N05/2467960418/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/12295814_N05/2467960418/?referer=');"><img class=" " title="time &amp; money" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2015/2467960418_18375bf797.jpg" alt="via d_rod" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">via d_rod</p></div>
<p>Oh this would be my dream situation. I would love to go back to school to get a degree in art, photography in particular. I really wanted to go back to get my Master&#8217;s in this, but when I learned that it would take me another three to four years, at a full-time status, and cost way more money then I could even fathom at the time, I backed out. I truly wish I could do this though. Creativity in the form of art is a huge outlet for me (take my Christmas Cards for example). If I couldn&#8217;t do photography, I&#8217;d love to do web design and/or graphic design. This whole concept coincides with my biggest, and really only, regret&#8230; which leads us to the next question.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>We should live with no regrets, but I know we all have at least one, what is yours?</strong></span></p>
<p>I like to think that I live a life without regret. I do everything for a reason and even if that reason doesn&#8217;t turn out to be as good as I originally thought, I still know that whatever happens in my life happens for a reason that I might not be able to understand at the time. With that being said, I only truly have one big regret in my life&#8230; 1. Not going away for college and 2. Not choosing a University that offers more programs of study to explore. Well, okay that is actually two regrets, but they really go hand in hand. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I like my degree and I like my college experience, but if I could do it again, I would absolutely not choose a commuter school based on monetary reasons and I&#8217;d explore more choices for a career instead of picking something that seemed right at that time. Oh well, maybe one day I&#8217;ll go back. Until then, I&#8217;ll do the best I can with the best I have. <img src='http://rialeilani.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Tell me your secret guilty music selection you wouldn&#8217;t want anyone to know you listened to.</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://store.drumbum.com/skuMGMSC-165.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/store.drumbum.com/skuMGMSC-165.html?referer=');"><img class="alignleft" title="music notes" src="http://store.drumbum.com/media/colorful-music-notes-cutout.jpg" alt="" width="154" height="154" /></a>Okay, so I&#8217;m not really ashamed of my musical choices because I will rock out with the best of my CD collection around anyone (I have no shame). But since you asked, artist&#8217;s that I do hide and try not to listen to around new friends would have to be the Spice Girls (I have all their CD&#8217;s), Mariah Carey (I belt out her songs like a pro, especially the Christmas CD), 2ge+her (remember that MTV made band and their hit &#8220;U + Me = Us (I know my Calculus)&#8221;), and even all those old Jock Jam CD&#8217;s (I have number one and two and I love, love, love them!). I have a weird and wide spread taste in music.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>If you could go back in time and relive something, what would it be?</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.craftykits.ca/?page_id=60" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.craftykits.ca/?page_id=60&amp;referer=');"><img class="alignright" title="girl talk" src="http://www.craftykits.ca/wp-content/uploads/js_sleepover21.jpg" alt="" width="124" height="137" /></a>Can I just go back and relive my childhood, say from the age 8 to 14? I feel as though I was forced to grow up way, way to quickly due to my parents relationship problems. Thinking back, I wish I could have had the opportunity to do childish things, like have sleepovers with friends, have silly dress up parties with the girls and just do other fun things that kids do. My childhood wasn&#8217;t all that bad, but I do wish I could have enjoyed it more as a child and less as an adult.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Would you ever participate in a reality TV show, which one?  why or why not?</strong></span></p>
<p>Hum, so it took me a few minutes to really decide if I would do this. For how much I share on my blog, I am a very private person. With the exception of these Campfire Network posts, I pick and choose what I share on my blog, absent minded (like all of us bloggers do). So with that fact, I don&#8217;t think that I could ever be on a reality show where they follow you around everyday in your real life. And not only that, I think I live a pretty boring life so no one would really want to watch that! Seriously, I don&#8217;t even think a local network station would want to produce this. HaHa. However, I would totally be on a reality show like The Amazing Race (because the challenge would be a great experience), The Bachelorette (because I would love to have a bunch of hot men fighting for my heart <img src='http://rialeilani.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> ), or Project Runway and So You Think You Can Dance! (if I could design clothes or dance, that is).</p>
