going to see live music of almost any kind, cracking open a new book and reading it before anyone else can, alone time, not alone time,getting to the newstand early on sundays and being the first to get the new New Yorker, staying home on sat night and actually finishing the Times crossword, arguing about politics, (im sorry if you are an ignorant, asshole, close minded right wing up your ass republican)being with the people i really love, even if they don't know it, getting up early and getting cracky on mochas at the best coffee stand in town, actually just getting up early is cool too, dancing like i was born in the 40's, rummaging through bins of clothes people have already worn and discarded, (thrift stores people) making food that reminds me of home, parties where everyone has fun, sunny days in the mission, dying my hair, laughing at my friends, being sarcastic with stupid people, anything that could be taken for comedy, Partying, Reading, talking too much, running,and almost anything i shouldn't be doing
