Window Seats, Blue sky cold days, modern design, surprises(good ones that is), thinking everything cool through so many times that I start to hate it. Really really excruciatingly hot showers followed by snuggling in my down comforter. Laughing and not being able to see out of my eyes while doing it. Sheets that smell like fabric softener. Being a strong woman. Traveling/exploring/getting lost, taking forever to make a damn decision. The colors of the sky at sunset(cheesy but truly beautiful), Spending weeks in chosen solitude followed by weeks of needing to be surrounded by others. Loving my friends and family even though I have bouts of "flaking out". Enjoying art, and music, and fresh air, and love, and hating the inablility to enjoy it because of work.
People who intrigue me via their oddities/personality flaws. Friends who I know I could travel with to a far away country and wouldn't be embarrassed by their "American-ness" People who get dry dark humor and like foreign films.
