waste not, want not.

yesterday on the other blog a wonderful little game was indulged in, but because i had to slog to the grocery store and back, i was unable to participate. (yes, you should feel sad for me. *grin*) but also because of that slog, i had plenty of time to come up with my own answers to the questions.

so, as not to let my efforts slide into obscurity, here is my contribution to yesterday's game.

what i love:
how soft my cat is, autumn light, diesel fumes and cigarette smoke, green tea ice cream, my eyebrows, the sister who understands me, the sisters who don't, the curls chemotherapy gave back to me, that blog and all the people there, that band and all the men in it, sandalwood incense and candlelight, being the first one awake at the campsite, coffee, green tea frappuccino and green tea bubble tea, my gods even when they're obnoxious, my family even when they're obnoxious, live music, the way shakespeare makes me feel, the sound of my skirts when i kneel, the wind, thunder storms (go zeus!), rain, rain, rain, walking with the full length of my stride, the legend of zelda soundtrack, books and particular authors, homemade soup and biscuits on the next day, watching a sportsbike zoom by, the feel of magic.

what i hate:
that one particular "meow", feeling like i'm nothing, neighbors who can't clean their cars without having their radios on, being afraid of life, that liquid contrast they make you drink before a ct scan, big shopping carts in small aisles, that question my co-worker asks me all the time, oh, and man's inhumanity to man, of course.

what i miss:
my dad, my grandmother, my other grandmother's laugh, being able to live on my income, england, being loved, kisses, school, camping, my family, my friend from high school.

what i want:
to have learned how to drive back in high school, my dream job and/or to make a solid income from my writing, a lovely two-bedroom apartment in an old building up in the city, upgraded technology and an ipod, jeans that i actually like wearing, clothing that expresses my inner self, an annual vacation in england, and everything to be well with him (you know, that one guy).

I want to thank you for your comments on my blog post. I had intended to write something more than just "thank you", and wanted to read through your posts as I don't think I've visited here before. But what with overtime at work/impending trip/lack of sleep my mind is kind of mush, so I will wait til I get back from England before writing any more. I just wanted to pop by to say that it meant a lot to me that you came by my blog :)

You enjoy diesel fumes? ;)
