d

guilty as charged, miss d.

where would you like me to send it to?

Throwing noodles at the wall.
Tasty mostly-homemade tomato sauce (which, despite containing meat, hasn't killed anybody yet! I am PROUD!).
WinAmp getting slightly less pissy. (It will now let me play songs from the OtR, singles, and Luke folders.)
Last night's walk with Lisa.
FINALLY finding the 24-hour pastry shop which sells the most delicious so-called cheese bagels in existence.
Discovering new favorite used bookstores.
Tweety Bird spinning in a window display atop an old LP.
Deep realizations.
Hugs.
Dancing.
People taking care of me in those moments when I can't do it myself.
Beauty in all its forms.
Music.
Tubes of glitter and attractive cover art illuminated by a single candle.
Receiving an MP3 of my friend's wife playing a song from the Amélie soundtrack.
My sister handing me The Tempest and having me read:
Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometimes voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again; and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again

josh, yer somethin special yourself.
but i was doin the buyin,
check yer inbox

d.

heh.

well then, this changes everything!

Multicolored post-it notes with accomplishments written on them!
*mwah*

Libby getting rid of that nasty paper.

winter break quickly approaching
figuring out life decisions
9 months or less until i move to Texas. YAY! ::jumping for joy::

Hands on work at school including 2 3-hour labs where we actually got to draw blood, insert catheters, inject stuff and do all sorts of procedures on both dogs and chickens...hehehe.

Ewww. You see I would have actually put this in the pet peeves thread myself. Different strokes to different folks I guess.

Done. Finally... done.

And we expect to see it posted in the Writer's Forum after all you've put us through here, young lady!

Shopping for shoes w/out leaving my living room.

: )

* Filling up my cart! *

Doing a little successful Christmas shopping.

Procrastination.

Finally sending pants in to be hemmed, cost be damned.

my bed, my comforter, frannycat and i pretending it's a friday.
friends who bring me beautiful old cut page hard back books cause 'they might work well for my "artist's books" project'.

In the words of the enigma that is Bruce... "Wahooey!!"

Roger...Go sign up for dinner.

they way the grey sky contrasts with the green treetops when it's about to rain in the summer

warming my nose in the steam of hot chocolate

sleeping in on Saturday (or any day for that matter)

putting lotion on freshly shaven legs

train whistles in the distance

crunchy autumn leaves

kitty on my lap when I'm trying to type

the first snowflakes of the year

uncontrolable laughter that leaves you crying in a ball on the floor

spontaneous slow dancing

d.

Add to this "spontaneous belly dancing and/or untrained ballerina pirouettes," and I am SO there. Welcome!

Be still my heart.

Welcome Mondenkind.
Glad you're here.

d. telling me that i'm something special.

america (the book) in the mail. thanks bro.

books.

the ability to read.

literature courses in college.

possibilities.

getting to drive by the llama farm on my way to pick up lunch. i love llamas...i really, really do.

WOO HOO!! My new favorite thing is:
Spontaneously buying a plane ticket to Michigan for a 48-hour visit to surprise my sister at her senior art show, finding out that said visit coincides with the OtR concert at The Ark, and then buying tickets--after a year and a half of nearly unbearable OtR concert drought spawned by moving out west.
And then venturing into the orchard to find out a new album is coming out in just a few months!

Sweet mercy. I'm so happy, I could just run out to the street and kiss perfect strangers.

Hearing that satisfying KLUNK on the floor when the mail arrives, signifying that the CD I ordered is now here.

jane's "hurrahs"

d

The ability to breathe.
That the totally-shitty considering-bad-things phase only lasts a couple of days.
Tea, toast, and honey.
Plans. I am making plans.

Michael Ian Black--the guy from Ed and all of the I Love the (decade) shows.

Kylie's new crime-resistant apartment
Roger's excellent new avatar

I GOT A LETTER FROM MIRANDA STONE! A non-form letter, in response to a letter I had sent! *sigh* I hardly ever get to speak with this lovely woman (who makes nearly-as-lovely music -- go buy some), but when I do, I always smile....

Might I point out she likes Over the Rhine? Impeccable taste, I tell you.

foggy mornings.

ditto on the huge congrats to both kj and sj on their homes.

Nowing that this is on it's way to my mailbox:
