Quiet houses. I like to hear myself think once in a while.

I've heard myself think before. It ain't pretty.

milkshakes
parties
new friends
seeing Becky in chat (though seeing her in person would be even better!)
making progress on the evil thesis
dandelions
the air being filled with white fluff -- summer snow! Yeah! This happens EVERY Grand Prix weekend!
getting slightly less sucky at guitar (This tendonitis crap really does a number on my dexterity -- lowered typing speed, shitty playing, et cetera. I am still determined to play decently at my friend's wedding next month.)
Did I mention milkshakes?

painting things black!

Somehow, to me, her "talking" voice and her "singing" voice don't seem to match up ... though I enjoy both, and she always seems to give a well-spoken interview!

: )

Favorite thing: Weekend with absolutely NO plans!!

Extra, fun dance classes!!!

There's been quite a few of 'em today ... waking up to the sound of (unexpected) rain ... receiving an email from an eBayer who is putting their item back up for bid "just for you," they said ... making homemade salsa ... mouth watering as I wait for the salsa to sit for a spell and get perfectly blended ... musical vines ...

Lucky Charms.

hey lynne... would you mind sharing that salsa recipe ?

Sure! I'll throw it in the recipes thread ...

: )

The cute girl I saw today,a nd the fact that she remembered me and smile hi through the window.

Seeing Brandon's small group mentioned in the church bulletin for the first time.

Drawing pictures during sermons.

Watching (and hearing) little kids thunder up the stairs for children's church.

Driving out of a storm.

Posting in this thread, when I thought I was posting in the "what was the last thing you ate thread." Oh well, pop tarts and cold ceereal are in deed some of my favorite things.

The new strings that I got for my guitar on Saturday. I have never, ever heard my guitar sound this good. Who knew?

music boxes or bells or rain recorded in music of anykind.

Stevie Nicks

(yes, the new Fleetwood Mac DVD came out today....mmmmm...digital Stevie)

Stevie and Lindsey do this beautiful version of "Landslide"...i mean, i've heard the song 1,000 times, but seeing them do it on this DVD, it's just...it makes you just go "awwwwww."

That's quite a landslide, eh?
I guess the sky is the limits. I better tell Brianna.

You really just have to see it...the interaction between them is so priceless.

Maybe it's kind of staged, but they still make it look honest, and it works...

*sigh* If only I was born 30 years earlier and Stevie Nicks wasn't really famous and out of my league.

When I saw Fleetwood Mac in Denver in October, they interacted *a lot*. It was awesome. At one point they danced around the stage. And for the record, Lindsey Buckingham is an energizer bunny rock god. He just keeps going and going and going....

You got to see them?

I'm so jealous...I wanted to go but the tickets were like 130 ****ing dollars. I mean, I love Fleetwood Mac and all, but god damn. That was just murder.

So as it stands I will most likely never get to see Stevie in person.

Long walks.
Yoga.
Weight training.
Grapes.

Cute blonde girls at the Guster concert that stand really close to me and talk to me in-between songs and try to hold my hand. And she was wearing the same shoes as me!

my friend, amanda.
flirting.
nice conversations.

Someone insisting that I join the rest of the group in watching the game, even though I don't like sports and I really wanted to go into a self pitty mode.

Brandon posting in the Happy Things thread.
Waking up feeling like I actually SLEPT. (I didn't, much, but I feel like I did! Woo!)
Yummy food for breakfast.
A new stack of blank CD-Rs.

having random men fall at my feet professing their love
really freaking short days at work (like today! whee!)

Gavin just sent me a new photo from somewhere. He wants to know if Kylie wants to go for a walk?

yeah! i'll meet him at the bottom.

Sunny days
sitting in a public square (adorneed with flowers) in the sun trying to surf the internet (the sun is kind of messing with my ability to see the lcd screen, lol)

finding my bottle of patchouli and my remote control!

Short waiting times on the SAAQ address-change line.

egg salad sandwiches and black currant iced tea!

People that just laugh at phony fire ararms.
Girls dressed in summer clothes (ok, sorry, I'm a pig).

Girls dressed in summer clothes (proud to be a pig!).

Actually, that's a lie, because the only girls around here in summer clothes are about 14 years old. And that really isn't one of my favorite things.

Sure!!!!!!!!!! you like em younger, right?

Aaron? Ew.


Favorite thing: feeling like an athletic goddess. I get more exercise on Thursdays than most people get in a week, and I rock.

aww crushing my hopes and dreams
