If I could tame a wild animal to keep as a pet
Adult Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) in Morro Bay, CA by Mike Baird (mikebaird) I would have to agree with Todd. An otter has been a dream of mine for a while. My college roommate and I used to fantasize about putting a kiddie pool in the living room just for an otter. Also, we would keep the bathroom sinks full, just in case he got bored and needed a change of venue. He would be awesome and we...

My worst nightmare(s): Movies that scared the crap...
Not sure if you caught this, but The Vine’s Sebastian Cordoba does a great writeup (and YouTube gallery) of movies that “ruined his childhood”. Among the classics are Child’s Play and Stephen King’s IT, as well as less likely picks such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. My favorite on the list? Return to OZ.

"This Will Be Our Year" - The Zombies →
somesongsconsidered: “This Will Be Our Year” - The Zombies (words/music: Chris Wright, found on Odessey and Oracle, 1968) I discovered “This Will Be Our Year” a few years ago and instantly fell in love with it. It’s so simple - a restrained arrangement, charmingly sweet lyrics, and a near-perfect melody – that I can’t help but love it… Enjoy the song...
