eating, drinking, swimming, movies, music, art, love children's books and children in general, watching grown men cry, watching old fat guys laugh so hard they slap themselves on the thigh, making jelly and then proclaiming that i've been "cooking up a storm". sarcasm in all its forms, imitating bette midler, and stomping around the house when i'm grumpy and want everyone to know about it, discovering the first sign of a tan in early december, natural health, unthreatening attempts to resolve problems.oooh also i wanted to mention this secret (not any more) habit of mine called going to bed with socks on, only to kick them off as soon as i'm warm (it feels REALLY GOOD) and then leaving the dirty lumps in the bed when i get up - then i make the bed and leave them in there!! or sometimes josh makes the bed and gets mad at me because like, 5 pairs of socks fall out the end. eek!i've only recently realised (through the helpful pointing-out of a certain person in my top friends) that i am rather particular about the way i have my toast. the amount and distribution of both nuttelex and vegemite (or peanut butter and honey) is extremely important to me and if you get it too thick or too thin, or not to the corners, or the wrong ratio of nuttelex to vegemite, i won't eat it. and i mean, usually i eat pretty much EVERYTHING. i also refuse to scrape off the charcoal into the sink and just paint over the top. if the toast gets burnt, it goes in the bin. sorry starving children in africa, but you wouldn't eat it either. it's CHARCOAL. so yeah, i don't think it's that hard to make the perfect piece of toast, but apparently toast is toast and you're supposed to just slap it all on - and i'm the only one in the world who cares about amounts and distribution! unbelievable!
anyone who's got something to say, show, play or do.i want to meet people who do what they want without worrying about how the rest of the world sees them, so i can ask them how they let go of their insecurities and desire to please others all the time.i also want to meet mega-rich people who would like to sponsor me as a person - just for living - so i don't have to ever work unless i want to.
