minor league baseball

the opportunity to read books (even if i don't agree with the writers) just being able to read and learn new perspectives.

reading along and realizing that i disagree with what i am reading. not so much that i enjoy disagreeing, i just like that ruch i get the moment i realize it.

isn't that great?

talking to people (and getting into theological debates with) people you meet at college.

Volunteering as manual labor in a winery. Pure bliss.

fun!

Pictures! Cinnamon buns! Extra shift time at work (I need the money). Showing people pictures! Laughing at pictures! Reorganizing pictures again and again and again! Pictures of me! Pictures of me in a pretty pretty dress! Pictures of me blowing bubbles! Pictures of me singing! Pictures of me dancing! Pictures of me with adorable kids! Finding ice packs in the freezer is lovely, too. Hmmm. Relief.

I like Buffalo skins. They are very warm and fuzzy. And very expensive.

saying hello to randoms.

Do you know what it is as you pass to be loved by strangers?
Do you know the talk of those turning eye-balls?
Walt Whitman

Saying "Merry Christmas" to randoms at random points in the year.

I have an interview at 9:30 tomorow morning. Woo hoo!

being ever so close to 500 posts on the orchard.

Giving people stuff... randomly.
That I'm not crying right now.

driving a familiar route, when you really need some quiet alone time.
Goofy friends.
Singing with boys.
power naps

Seeing my sister.

Drinking beer in a Brittish style pub and discussing Christian philosophy.

Bible study. Even if only 3 of us show up.
Having a 3-peice band lead our singing.
Not being weird being the only girl singing praise songs with band.

that my boss who was going to be in at 9:30 called and said he won't be in until noon
quiet mornings in the office
that i can check our power plants in florida (from connecticut) and i see that everything is running fine (see that all you floridians? its my job to make sure you have clean air to breathe! )

long phone conversations with friends not seen in forever
homemade postcards

My approaching birthday!
EFT income tax refunds RIGHT when I need them.
Coming up with a workable idea of what to do about school.
Muffins.
Homemade spaghetti sauce.
Long phone conversations with my parents.
Talking with friends I haven't seen in ages.
Seeing a morning glory on my way to work.

Drambuie.

it was fantastic

Grammar discussions.

(OOPSIE, I meant to post that in the "Nerds" thread!)

: )

Hehe... sign me up for that one, too.

I like ... procrastination! Hahahaha!

- feeling better!
- take home exams!

freak rainstorms
being done with work for today
the posibility, however slim it is, that this could be my last thursday at my current job.
An upcoming trip to BC by train.

When near-strangers I met a week ago approach me and ask, "Hey, did you find that cat?"

And when familiar cats come out of bushes and approach me with a stare that clearly says, "Hey! You're the food lady, right?" One that I've fed a few times actually sought me out near the English building today. I felt so guilty about disappointing him that I went back to my room and brought him some tuna. As usual, he was very hungry and very excited.

ASL immersion classes! Who cares if it's non-credit!
Lovely hosts.
Brunch with a long-lost friend -- who even foots the bill.
Discovering that the metro pass I paid $6 for (my supervisor is going on a monthlong vacation tomorrow) is not just a metro pass. It's a zone five tramway transit pass, which is the next best thing to having wings in the vicinity of Montreal. Those babies are expensive! I can use the trains, the trams, the buses, and the subway on the island, Laval, AND Longeuil for the rest of September!!! YEAH BABY!!!
Peace.
Rain.
Feeling like everything could still work out.
Making plans.
And my birthday is coming!

You know what's really fun? Playing tambourine with random buskers. So. Great.

this freaking good jazz violin player, who I now get to listen to weekly. Maybe I'll learn something.

getting off from a long day of work.

weekend being only a few work hours away.

*smilesmile*

angelfish's avatar. that's *really* cool. easily a favourite.

ok, I have a favorite thing I would like to see. The pet peeves thread is 100 pages, this thread is only 98. Let's get this thread ahead of the pet peeves thread!

that would be cool! one post at a time....

Aw. Yay. I love Ed so much!

When I first read that, the avatar that jumped to mind was the avatar I use on other boards. Hehe.

cute!

I think I've seen that avatar before on these boards.

a favourite:

spending an evening in the orchard, trying to get the favourite things list up to where it should be.

*nods* Libby posted it in random thoughts perhaps a month before I registered here. It made Deb's day.

Favourite things of the moment:
-The word "jello"

-The way SixpenceNTR24 lives in canada, washington and oregon seemingly simultaneously because I have no idea what her life involves.

well, i wouldn't say simultaneously. right now, i'm living in canada. though, i do have ties and (i guess you could say) homes in the other two areas.

i just happen to be living in Alberta, Canada right now, that's all.

btw, 'jello' is a great word.

speaking of which.... there's some in the fridge....

Indie rock!

woohoo!!!!

Hehehe.

It would be another favourite thing if you explained your ties and homes in each of the three places.

What kind of jello do you have?

well now....

Oregon: I lived there for about 9 months, working on the coast (right on the pacific ocean) my best friends' family lives there, and they adopted me. i consider them my own family.

Washington: I'm originally from there, though I've not lived there for quite some time. My family still lives there, so it is still very much so home.

Canada: I attend a Bible College in Alberta. This feels a lot like my home, seeming as all my stuff is here.

speaking of jello.... i'll have to go check.

Killer techno remixes

Matt Slocum being in a new band.... still making music.

Live renditions of Solsburry hill.

I love that.

Other favourite things:

-Having class cancelled and getting to sleep through the evening after spending a night thinking too much about every-every aspect of life and getting only three hours of sleep.

-Still making great sandwiches how people want them without goofing up, even with very little sleep.

-Smiiiiles.

websites like pollstar.com so i can see who's coming to my area.

watching Ichiro go after an old major league baseball record for most hits in a single season.

wow, what a feat.

When the muisic on my headphones syncs with the music playing on the speakers on the other side of the room.
