The Wee Democracy

things i love

1 - when a girl sits and crosses her legs, and then dangles her little shoe or flip flop from her toes. that kills me.

2 - a geniune laugh. most people have two kinds of laughs - the fakey one you get for courtesy that sounds perfect but is fraught with tension. but the other one, the genuine one, you feel it coming up from their gut and most of the time, it makes you laugh, too.

3 - the color of the sky and the sun between 5 and 7pm

4 - good movie trailers, the ones where you start smiling halfway through the thing because you feel that anticipation, and you know that it's just gonna be a killer movie. its twice as sweet when you see the movie and it IS killer.

5 - revisiting an album you haven't listened to in a while and discovering a track in the second half that you had previously overlooked or perhaps discounted, and realizing that it rocks.

6 - good hair days

7 - the opening titles of my favorite tv shows. if i'm alone, when the show starts, i may bounce around, kick my feet, and just be generally gleeful, and prone to giggling and high pitched squeals of excitement.

8 - getting a girl's phone number. pretty awesome

9 - great love songs, you know, like something roy orbison would have done. or maybe it's just roy's voice, cause that's pretty goddamn great, too.

10 - really honest moments with friends. good times that are purely good -- regardless of the absence or presence of mind altering substances.

11 - when you have a really cool night -- i love the feeling you get when you think "man, i can't wait to tell this story..."

12 - thinking about cool things in my future, like buying my first house, and imagining how i'll decorate it, and who i'll share it with.

13 - buying new shoes, a new watch, or new sunglasses

14 - reading the sports section the day after a good night for the home teams.

15 - cold pizza for breakfast

16 - doing things that are humorously pathetic, like drinking before noon -- again, it has a good story factor.



feeling: depressed, again
thinking of: what is the deal with people getting married these days! jesus!
song of the day: i don't believe in the sun - the magnetic fields
i don't believe in the sun. how could it shine down on everyone and never shine on me.
