I dig punk over pop
rock over rap
pink over purple
Pink over any colour
Pink in general - hot pink, light pink, blush pink, Barbie Pink, all shades of pink - just not Salmon Pink, cos that is, infact orange - not pink! (incase you can't tell I have a mild inclination towards the colour pink)

Conosaurs (remember them children of the 80's?...hightop sneakers covered in dinosaurs, mine had green brontosauruses?/brontosauri?)
bubbles
stars
rainbows
Andy Warhol Blonde
retro over vintage
plastic over metal
cloud watching over train spotting
photography
bubble wrap and the popping of said bubble wrap
home over work

talking to myself
visiting airports, libraries, museums, galleries
making cupcakes...
People who entertain me, people who inspire me, people who can teach me more about this wide world we live in, people who share my interests, people with diverse interests, people who do good things, people who bring happiness to the world in any form...through film, literature, music, art or by their simple acts of kindness, people who have the answers - why is the sky blue? what happen to the dinosaurs? why did they cancel arrested development?
Sabrina fair,
Listen where thou art sitting
Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
In twisted braids of lilies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair;
Listen for dear honour's sake,
Goddess of the silver lake,
Listen and save.
- John Milton, 1634

"Despite the impracticality of such a scheme, I have decide to remain a child forever. I have consciously decided to abandon adulthood and all accompanying responsibilities, that is ofcourse, until I develope an interminably misanthropic view of life that results in me adopting an archaic use of words and a long-winded sentence structure. It is now my intention to disengage from this conversation forthwith..."
OK so slowly I am accepting adulthood -

Also children's books like Alison Lester's ones, Possum Magic, infact any children's books by Mem Fox, Where the Wild Things Are, Roald Dahl, one of the best things about living with my young niece is I get to revisit all my favourite kids books again.
