A list is all.
Things I like
crunching the sand in the bottom of the tape dispenser
the sound of the keys when I type really fast, it reminds me of rain
and I like rain (specifically with thunder) when I'm trying to fall asleep
oldies music
hugs (I can't get through a day without one)
feeling tiny. I just really love being small. I like feeling small and being small and the smallness of it all. It really isn't all that surprising though, considering that I'm willing to be the party gag and stand without shoes on next to people of various heights. My shortness makes me feel girlier for some reason.
Spanish. Man, do I love that language.
A feeling of accomplishment. For example, if I write something that I genuinely like (my memoir was one of these things) and other people like it and just the, "Wow" feeling that a person gets when they realize that the other person doesn't find them crazy/inane. But I guess everyone likes that.
Unexpected smiles. If someone smiles at me and I'm not expecting them to it's nice. I just like it.
People's laughs. I'm preoccupied. Kathleen and Molly, por ejemplo, have really great laughs. When my dad laughs really hard that's great too. Because he doesn't let out a huge laugh all that often so it's even more surprising.
Television and books. I find myself becoming attached to TV characters. It's sad. I don't know why I'm not as depressed by the fact that books make me cry a lot.
night time. It's quiet and... it's not middle of the day quiet when I feel like I have to fill up the empty space by singing (I like to sing though so it's not so much of a chore)... it's just the kind of quiet where one can realize that everyone that they love a lot is near them but asleep and you're just... I don't know. It's so late that I'm not abidding by my own grammatical rules. So that's late for you.
children. Okay, I admit it. I like children. Sometimes they're too much and I just want to tell them to go away, but when there's just one little kid and that little kid thinks that you are so cool, it's amazing. Sometimes, some days, I'm the highlight of the day for the girls next door and that's an empowering feeling. So I suppose I selfishly love children. (I like them for other reasons too, but I'm not going to mushily drone on about little toes and little feet ad nauseum.)
Disney, Macintosh, and the Bell System. I have some strange sort of brand loyalty. The last one isn't even a brand anymore, it's broken up, but that's been instilled in me by my uncle.
History. I don't know what I'm going to major in anymore (I had such a concrete plan and now it's all gone kaput), but it may very well be history.
I can't think of anything more right now, but that's what I like... just in case you were wondering.
