Bubble gum ice cream, really pretty cupcakes with sprinkles, tulips, Gerber Daisies, Odie, Boston, LA, Clive Owen, Jason Statham, anything 80s, shopping at Sephora (for hours), Boscia skincare, Armani cosmetics, Nanette Lepore clothes, and Francesco Biasia handbags (if there are shoe girls and purse girls, I am without a doubt a purse girl). I adore Cocker Spaniels, Beagles, and just about any dog I've ever met! I collect snow globes and teacups.
Well, I've already met the only one that really matters (see above). Otherwise, Stevie Nicks, Madonna, Clive Owen, David Beckham, Wes Anderson, Zandra Rhodes...I'm sure I will think of more... Anna Wintour & J-Lo so that I can toss paint on their fur coats & Bush, Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter so I can yell several obscenities at them.
People who play board games and don't give a shit about winning. Karaoke singers - that suck as bad as I do. Sugar addicts. Drunks that will talk to anyone while singing "you dropped a bomb on me." Puppies with puppy breath who love to give kisses with their velvet tongues. People that argue passionately about their beliefs, and can just as passionately forget that you just argued. Gypsies. People who collect experiences, not just things. Individuals who get as loud as me when they drink.
Interpol, Radiohead, Editors, Arcade Fire, Elefant, Weezer, U2, PJ Harvey, Bright Eyes, Bloc Party, Snow Patrol, Sebadoh, Afghan Whigs, Rolling Stones, Madonna , Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, The Smiths, The Cure, David Bowie, Pixies, Garbage, Transvision Vamp,The Talking Heads, The Cars, Peter Gabriel, Echo & The Bunnymen, Billy Idol, The Pretenders, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Men at Work, Van Halen, Guns N Roses, New Order, Depeche Mode, Prince, The Police...this could go on forever...
"Stella"
But she once fell through the street/
Down a manhole in that bad way/
The underground drip/
Was just like her scuba days
At the bottom of the ocean she dwells/
At the bottom of the ocean she dwells/
From crevices caressed by fingers/
And fat blue serpent swells/
Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella I love you
Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver/
She went down down down there into the sea,/
Yeah she went down down down there, down there for me, right
