*************I LOVE cooking, baking, singing, (the top three things that can make me happy on the worst day) music is...my power source...writing (poems and stories),i love laughing (the greatest feeling in the world is to have your stomach hurt so much from laughing too hard), and sleeping! lord i love to sleep and i don't mean just naps, i mean crawling into bed and shutting out the world. snack packs (chocolate!), authentic thai, the word "Zugerkirschtorta", reading novels, going to the movies, SEEING new movies, reminiscing about the "old times", snowstorms (blizzards) and thunderstorms, going out to dinner with friends, taking pictures, buying blank journals, working and making money, day dreaming, trying new foods, going to Washington square park and watching all the dogs, traveling (sometimes i pretend to hate long trips on buses or in cars or on planes... but i secretly love IT!), road trips with friends, sitting down and watching my favorite shows, crying, cleaning after crying, buying earrings and winter clothes (especially scarves and mittens) being really warm out in the cold (along with sleeping with the window open when its cold out and being deep down in the comforter), paying my bills, and being by myself 3,000 miles away from home... :)
