Music...yeh(p) Music!. People watching, chaos outside, neatness at home, eggnog, laughing at the wrong times, getting frightened at the wrong times, laughing at everything, being fascinated by everything, being suspicious of strangers, scratchy records, fireworks, honey-roasted peanuts, aluminum foil, neon lights, coffee, the way raindrops bead up on a windshield, Halloween, the colors: black/red/blue/green/gray/brown, southern food, playing chess, light bulbs, photography, sharks, candy, thunderstorms, root beer, philosophy, grapefruit, NPR, WUTC FM, politics (guilty pleasure), antiques, geology, ghost stories, yoga, the beach at night, watching airplanes, mui tai, mountains, old barns, big cities, dance clubs, bicycles, norse mythology, the south, DJ'ing, italian food, the sound of a baseball game on the radio, reading about any & everything, small towns, writing poetry, watching movies, whiskey, 1920's & 1960's fashion, morocco, machinery parts (i.e. circuit boards & sprinklers) japanese art, railroad tracks, history, austria, moss, traveling, junkyards, shoes, windows, silver, sleeping, Germany, jackets, greenhouses, cemeteries, outer space, tea, sarcasm, bluegrass festivals, maps, flea markets, roller coasters, southern writers, taking walks, laying in the grass, finding weird things that I can't explain, buried treasure under a sidewalk, weird dreams, green tea ice cream, the British isles, the sky, rust, the smell of cut grass, cinnamon, rainy autumn days, tomatoes, bad jokes, found photos, drive-in movie theaters.
