I am always striving to focus on the good, the better, and the awesome. so here goes:
*anything by john irving (he wrote the world according to garp, cider house rules, the fourth hand, the hotel new hampshire, a prayer for owen meany). his bokos are written from 1960's to now, and all are relevant and current in their own fascinating way.
*boys life by robert mccammon. magic, horror, rural 1960's america, joy. best book i have read in a little bit.
*web comics. i love web comics.
*bikes bikes bikes! i am obsessed with bikes these days. i built a cruiser with my friend who is a machinist/bike mechanic. now i am building myself a beautiful 10 speed roadbike in my miniature bike shop (at my work). i have a frame for another bike that is waiting to be glorified also. i might just drop out of library school and become a bike mechanic!
*being 26! i feel better then ever before. i am confident in myself, in a way that i have never been before. i know that i am a beautiful, intelligent, loving person, and i find myself surrounded by wonderful people with similar mindframes and attitudes. positivity begets positivity.
*learning to cook indian food. i have come close to mastering the basics. from hear the world is my oyster.
*my dad. he is the raddest dude ever. he writes poems, and builds me bike racks, and listens to me whine.
*homemade pickles. seriously delicious.
*being sleepy! i am gonna have a pickle, read for a bit (a prayer for owen meany), then mosey off to bed. good night lj!
