The Sugarplum Fairy; playing dress-up all by myself; finding stories, well-told tall tales, and, most importantly, pondering as to whether or not those "how to help a choking victim" posters are really pseudo-rape fantasy porn that has been inflicted on us by the mayor of NYC. Figures. But, in all seriousness and social responsibility, please look at the pictures the next time you're at a bar or restaurant. That woman with the x-ed out eyes is definitely not having a good time. And her hair is a horrible color, thus propagating the belief that choking victims who are being forced into fetish sex are ugly and needing to get laid anyway. Please help.
Felix Unger, jackalopes, a free carton of Nat Shermans, the tooth fairy, Fr.Dougal, and a bag of wasabi peas. Oh, and my dad too.

Oh, and that book about a little badger named Frances who likes to eat jam. Especially the Spanish version where I have to guess what's happening. So far, I've interpreted that she's a lonely little badger who talks to walls and is slowly but surely on her way to developing a drinking problem as well as agoraphobia. She also has an unreasonable fear of the tweezers, but I can relate to that.
Major Tom; Tiny Tim (not the creepy ugly old guy, but the sweet little lame boy in a christmas feral); Utz baked tortilla chips; fiddy cent Vitamin Water; Nat Sherman, and the inventor of indoor plumbing. And Harriet Warren is pretty darn entertaining, even though she doesn't know how to spell her own name correctly and cooks hamburgers in my house.
