Definitely music, going to shows/festivals, writing/reading, fashion, films/movies, art, being a Gemini, writing letters to the man on the moon, eye candy, people watching, eating ethnic foods, being in love sometimes, actually it's all the time, drinking during the day time, whispering, taking naps with my pups, staying up until the sun puts me to sleep, eating pistachios in bed, keeping in touch with my friends, getting pictures developed, feeling safe, watching people sleep, grasping the beauty of people, glitter, being embarassed, calling my parents at all hours of the night just so they know that I love them, going on road trips, petting a horse's soft nose, staring at the stars, making lists, going to TJ Maxx, being clumsy, playing cards, and loving whomever I love....

Those are the real heroes of status quo... people that care about other ordinary, loving people....
