b+w photography, tattoos, cheap horror movies, cartoons, music, beautiful visions through ordinary windows, sex in the morning, being the inside spoon, knee high socks, 4x4ing, camping, Sid Meier's video games, making too many mixed CD's, spending hours and hours printing every single photo on my hard drive.
People who are random and tactless, people who tell the truth at the possible expense of alienating those around them, and anyone who feels like there MUST be something more than what's handed to you.
MENFOLK!!!
The things that make me adore you even more then I already do (cause you're all great) are as follows:
A belly (I'm serious here, I'm a curvy girl, and if I'm standing next to a twig of a boy, I don't feel really inclined to make with the nekkid).
Tattoos (I have 7, and if all you've got is a tribal arm band from '99, we're not exactly on the same page).
Be a cowboy, be a construction worker, be a mechanic, be some amazingly orgasmic combination of all three (I'd have to change panties, seriously).
If you feel inspired to take a drive out past the reach of the city lights, I'd go with you. If you want to go out in a 4x4 and you need an extra hand getting chains hooked up underneath your truck that just happens to be stuck in 2 feet of "Jimmy Mud", I'm your girl. If you need a camping partner for a 1 week trek out into the boonies, I'm there. If you want a girl who'll sit at home and talk on the phone with her girlfriends and say "I just don't get what the big deal is, it's just a lifted truck with some big tires on it....WTF is 'muddin' anyway?" I'm NOT your girl...cause I love the mud.
I've developed a weakness for boys with blue eyes, seriously....I'm putty, it's ridiculous.
alphabetically, cause I'm so stuck up about my music, which is why I'm starting off with: ABBA, Alkaline Trio, Ani DiFranco, the Arrgolites, Billy Joel, Bloodhound Gang, Bruce Springsteen, the Cure, Dire Straits, DJ Danger Mouse, Dropkick Murphys, the Eels, Everclear, Fiona Apple, Flogging Molly, Gnarls Barkley, Harry Nilsson, Johnny Cash, Luscious Jackson, Muse, NKOTB (if you don't know, you just.dont.know), Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, the Pixies, Poe, QOTSA, Rainer Maria, Reel Big Fish, Snake River Conspiracy, Social Distortion, Soul Coughing, the Steve Miller Band, Weezer, the White Stripes, and Willie f*ckin Nelson.
Anything by Tim Burton, anything with John Cusack, Edward Norton, Jack Black, Fight Club, High Fidelity, Waking Life, Tank Girl, Empire Records, anything Baz Luhrmann touches, Velvet Goldmine
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!...except Cowboy U on CMT, I find their suffering cathartic.
Anything by Tom Robbins ('jitterbug perfume' is especially good), High Fidelity, Hairstyles of the Damned (seriously, go pick it up, 90's punk rock goodness in a novel), most erotica by Anias Nin (though she occasionally went overboard on the weird), The Alchemist (I rescued this book from a house fire, that's how important it is to me), and the Found! book and magazines.
My mother, never has anyone died with such grace and purpose, I hope to have that same courage when it's my time.
