Please correct this
I'm so afraid of heights that I can actually faint from fear.
I've got stage fright.
My favorite actor is Alan Rickman.
The idea of what could happen if I changed at a certain point in time any choice I made (from the most minor decisions, to the "most crucial" decisions) fascinates me since… forever. I wish I had the opportunity to see what would've happened in "other timelines", for instance – what my life would look like if at the very first day of first grade I sat next to someone else and became life long friends with them? (and now I probably don't even remember their name), what if I chose to go to a different high school? A different job? Another house?
But I can't, and I probably never will. So all I do is just watch movies such as "Déjà vu", "The Butterfly effect", and "Sliding Doors" and continue dreaming about it.
I'd never marry someone for his money, I intend to be able to care for myself and earn my own living.
I hate having to depend on someone else.
The moment I earn enough money (which probably would happen when I'm 80 years old) I'll buy a red convertible Chevrolet Corvette C6.
Oh yeah, my name is Khen (it's Hebrew for Grace).
And... One last thing, in case you haven't already realized it yourself, when I'm tired I tend to babble.. A LOT.
Thank you so much,
Khen.

Dear Dsust,
Khen doesn't mean 'charm' in Hebrew; The sole definition of this word is 'yes'.
Charm=Chen

Dear WesternAmerican,
I'm aware of the fact that the most commen way of writing my name is - Chen, but I've chosen to spell it with a K because 'Ch' does not make the correct sound, whereas 'Kh' is the proper way to spell the wanted sound (take for example "Genghis Khan").
If I spelled my name Ken, then the deffinition of the word would have been - 'yes', but Khen means - Grace and Charm.

Dear Ddust,
Knowing a thing or two about the Hebrew language, I'd insist to point out your mistake.
The 'kh' in Genghis Khan sound like 'cou' in the word 'country', and I fail to see how 'Khan' or 'Khen' sound anything simliar to the word 'chen' in Hebrew; I might be wrong, seeing how tenacious you are about this matter.
Strictly speaking, there isn't even

Not that anyone cares, but I love Alan Rickman too. I loved Sense and Sensibility, when he got to play the good guy for a change.
Anyway, I understsand the problem with the ch/kh sound. My niece has a ch sound like "Loch" in Scotland and it's hard to convey that in English.
