My big list of good things

[verte]

Everybody should do this! I stole it from ultraruby

Make a list of 100 things you like in no particular order. Avoid the obvious (significant other, cake...) and be completely honest with yourself. If you try to think of things that you are curious about and inspired by, you'll end up discovering a lot about yourself and in doing so developing a sort of

ohhhh! a big list of good things! surely this is the best thing ever. (positivity yay!) reading this one makes me feel more placid and calm. i like lists of things that people like. i like the ways that different people phrase them.

i always feel a slight pang of regret when i finish a crossword. it's satisfying, but i really enjoy a good crossword, so i'm always kind of sad to realise that it's over. (a good crossword is a bit like good sex, in this respect. eek!)

I think it's the best thing ever and you should do it too. I think I may make a list like this whenever I am feeling grumpy or miserable. It does make me feel a bit young and silly somehow, but a lot of things I like are pretty young and silly.

And I getcha on the crossword front, but fortunately I very seldom finish them! And yes. Eek!

[northsea]

mm; i'm in the process of "compiling" such a list (in my head). gosh! i wouldn't have said that much on your list was young or silly!

I HAVE TO DO THIS. It's fab. I loved reading yours. I think that they should automatically come with people. Sort of like, here is your _____, here is the tag telling you what she likes. 40 degree wash only with like colours, do not tumble dry, iron on HOT.

DRY CLEAN ONLY!

(Do it!)

[beeswing]

& verily it was done. I liked reading yours more than I liked writing mine, though. I haven't had time to email you back but will soon when I return from my weekend. xo

[verte]

Oooh, weekends away! Hope it's all fun! Don't worry about the email unless you want to reply - I just reread what I wrote and it really was the most hideous splurge of incoherence EVAH. I blame it on a bit of a knackering week, but am sorry all the same. x

What a wonderful list! I have to do it, as well. I especially love (and identify with) yours numbers 99, 84 and 85, 48, 46, 37, 29, and 28.

Of course this is probably why I like you so much.

[verte]

Do itttt!

I hope you don't find this offensive, but I thought of you when I was writing 28 (not as a dead-fucking victim, of course...).

[chocolatebird]

Goodness, not offended at all! Actually, I'm quite flattered. It's kind of a hobby.

I'll write up the list whilst out of town for a few days and post it when I return . . . !!

Oh my God we have sooooooo much in common, it's almost weird!

[verte]

which ones?! Besides 87, of course!

[rus_lit_chick]

These numbers, at least: 3, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, 24, 26, 27, 28, 31, 42, 45, 51, 65, 70, 72, 79, 92, 93, 94, 97 and 99 (besides 87, of course).

waves. just thought i'd put a comment down somewhere to say hello and ask if it was ok that i added you? I found you via a couple mutual friends whilst ambling through lj land on a rather relaxed sunday :)

[verte]

Consider yourself added! To all filters, in fact. If there's anything you find unsavoury reading, let me know...

[sapphrine]

doubtful, but you never know i guess! :)
