seedy record stores with used sections. makeshift ashtrays out of coffee cups (i fell off the wagon! boo lungs!). playing scrabble @ dive bars. tentative plans to move to frisco. reading books pilfered from friends. attending plays with coatchecks. cold walks with snazzy scarves. jack and cokes, but i'm switching to gin and tonics. goofy photobooth pictures. craving potatoes. dialoguing with pets. people that think walking is a forgotten pasttime. exploring hiking trails that promise waterfalls. bookstores that smell like cardboard boxes. fat cats. torturing a little sister. dancing to bad music. early morning jaunts to the flea market. the cynicism of kurt vonnegut. rocking out to good music. keeping to myself and avoiding roofies. doodling with pencils that don't require sharpening. table arcades with ms. pacman. free parking on sundays.
like-minded hedonists and those who frollick in drunken debauchery. also, i think it would be great to have minions (which is just a better word for 'henchmen' which actually isn't as bad of a word as 'cronies'). oh, and it would be nice if they wore bowler hats and rode ponies without saddles, but ponies are lame so they'll ride segways instead, if the budget allows.
