Since apparently we are all grammatically anal, I would say the best way to phrase it would be either Mistakes are merely opportunities to learn or Mistakes are merely learning opportunities. Since “mistakes” is plural, opportunity should be plural as well. Um, I think I may have a problem. Lol.
I think I have a friend in you. Haha!
Listening to a lot of soundtracks/scores lately. Namely, from “Water For Elephants” and the show “Vampire Knight”. (Never seen either, only listened to the music, so far.) It's great for writing.
Hello! Welcome to Insomnialand! I see you've already gone posting about the forums: awesome! Hope you find everything you're looking for here at Insomnialand.
Ah… life dream? I have a lot of life dreams. Foremost, I dream of being an oft-published author. There's no way I'd stop at one, two books: I know I'm going to be writing my entire life. It would be a dream come true if I wrote and published an entire wall of books. It might sound overly sentimental, but I love literature for the reason that it's timeless. Words on paper travel generations: I could write a book now, and sixty years later, my grandchildren might one day pick it off a shelf. Just the thought that the stories I write now could live far beyond me is humbling: for that reason (and others), I take a lot of pride and care in my work. At risk of rambling- I view writing/literature as something bigger than myself- and to contribute as much as possible, say leave a collection of books behind, would make me very happy at the end of my life. I probably won't stop at a wall. We're dreaming, here, so who says I can't dream for an entire library? I'll write 'till the day I kick the keyboard.
My other life dream is to live abroad in all sorts of places. Somewhere, anywhere, or everywhere. I just want to take a blind stab at a world map, go wherever my finger lands, and soak up all it has to offer. Culture, language, food, everything. I'm a curious soul that's never quite satisfied; seeing the world would be a dream come true.

Many of us have at some point had a life dream, whether or not we have pursued it, and even though it may seem completely unrealistic or crazy.
What is/was yours?
Great topic. I've felt a little out-of-the-loop here too, lately; perhaps this'll churn up some activity!

My medicine
My dog
Internet access
Aaaah, internet. It's akin to air.
Hello, Charlotte! Nice to see another new member as of late! It seems Insomnialand's been getting a lot of new people this month- the more the merrier- great to have you join. I'm fairly new myself, to both Insomnialand and discussion websites, so I get the “fumbling” stage of it all. But it's really quite easy once you explore and get started in some conversations! (Thank goodness, or I'd be lost!Haha.)
Hope you find what you're looking for here on Insomnialand. In the meantime, have a great day (or night, wherever you are)!
'Martin' wrote on '11:It's a coffee chain found almost everywhere in Canada. There are a few in the US, too – but not many.
A double double at Tim Hortons means a coffee with double cream and double sugar.
I've changed now – I don't have sugar in my coffee. Back when I was in Canada though, I loved it!
The nearest Tim Hortons are two across Lake Michigan. (I looked it up!) I would think we'd have one closer by; for goodness' sake, Wisconsin's right below Canada! There's a donut sudoku game on the website. Fantastic.
On another coffee-related note… I used to drink coffee with a lot of creamer or sugar. But ever since I went vegetarian (for two years; went back to eating meat as recommended by doctor) my taste for sugared, creamed coffee just hit rock bottom. I can't drink it all that much anymore.
