Going to matinees, sometimes with a friend, sometimes by myself... movie previews, hate it when I miss them.
Fandango puppets make me giggle.
Fall.
Flying home to Alaska.
The smell of Christmas!
Driving through beautiful scenery with good music & good company
That very first moment you meet someone and are both still perfect in each other's eyes.
Being able to bring in all my grocery bags in one trip.
Putting on my steel toes and getting covered in dirt.
Singly loudly... and badly... the same string of Fiona Apple tracks, almost every single time I'm in the shower.
Complimenting strangers.
When my dearest friends can look at me and know exactly what I'm thinking (a hard task considering all the random shit that goes through my head)
Getting flowers for no reason... albeit the perfect reason.
Sun shining through my bedroom window.
That morning when I finally wake up and realize that I'm stronger than I had thought.
Hearing and sharing new music... of all sorts.

Pretty much anything I can bob my head to
The list goes on and on and is constantly changing. I love a variety of music, mainly stuff that's not so mainstream... I have a lot of respect for people who listen to music other than just what's on TRL this week (regardless of what type of music that may be). Although, I can't say that I don't sing along to it just as much as anyone else...
Movies:
I love when a movie makes me leave the theater viewing the world a little differently. The Departed (best action flick I've seen in a while and Mark Wahlberg is the epitome of cool), Science of Sleep, Thank You for Smoking, Idlewild, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, High Fidelity, Closer, Crash.... and of course, Martin Lawrence You So Crazy and Runteldat "Put a lil ice in that glass for me darlin... thaaankyababy"
Television:
Sometimes I think I've grown out of loving South Park... but then I watch it again and am reminded of how hilariously genius it is. Gawd, I love that show. Conan... Daily Show... Wild'n Out is a new fav... Anything funny.
I don't have cable anymore though so I've resorted to being addicted to my computer. Healthy switch? That's still up for speculation. ..
....
Books:
My taste in books is much like my taste in music. You thought it was good? Awesome. Bring it.
**FAVS: Paperback Original, Ham on Rye, Girl Interrupted, Fight Club, Traveling Mercies, High Fidelity, Home Land.
**
**"Paperback Original" is one of my all-time favorite books. I'll read anything by Bukowski.
Heroes:
Mi familia. Whether good or bad, I am a direct result of my upbringing. Thank god for them and for being my support... without them, I would not be who I am. And at the moment... I like who I am. So thank you Mom and Dad, Brother and Sister.
