Love/Hate

OK, so Sean did this before me, but it looked like fun...

I DON'T LIKE:
boring weekends
having crazy looking eyebrows
waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep
the first couple of minutes after the alarm goes off as I fight myself awake
when my coffee goes cold
allergies and sinus problems
blowing my nose so much it gets chapped and stings
flaky people
not having many friends in San Diego
most of the hip-hop that's out now
idiots
running out of tissue
how expensive everything is here
being away from home
being single
eye boogers, especially the stubborn ones in the corners
having to pee in the middle of the night
unfulfilled cravings (I get cravings like a pregnant woman)
badly written books, no matter how interesting the story
looking at my unmade bed and not wanting to make it

I LOVE
good food and drinks
good conversation
good lovin' (those are the big 3)
a good, solid man (see "Statement")
music (can't do anything without music)
my family
my baby niece (can't believe she's 2 already)
t-shirts, caps, and jeans
casual Fridays at work
Snoopy
Austin
a good coffee shop
my friends
pastries
chocolate (I have a huge sweet tooth)
my resilience
drawn-out sunsets--when the sky hits that deep blue, almost purple
good books
good writers (much love for Anne Rice and Ana Menendez)
having a few drinks and being able to dance to almost anything
seeing my family back home
drinnking with my aunt Linda
lying down in bed when I'm exhausted and finding that perfect, comfortable position
knowing on the weekends when I go to bed that I can wake up when I want to
writing
knowing that I'll make a living writing one day
finding the perfect way to describe something when I'm writing
the feeling of ease I get in church
Sex and the City
a good movie
finding unexpected connections with people

That was fun...
