Writing. books, music, friends, movies, writing, booze, my ferrets, smoking cigarettes. Sunflower seeds. Frozen fruit bars. walking. Highland Park. Learning new things. Hearing new music. Making fun of complete strangers behind their backs. My friends, who are the best. Getting evangelicals all worked up. Getting proven wrong, so I can get it right next time, then prove someone else wrong and make them look dumb.
