- The sun. The moon. The stars. (Oh dear. Am I being sappy?)
- Eloquence
- Dancing in the rain.
- My cousins.

I'm not trying to paint myself the optimist or anything. I mean, I hate a lot of things too. I could generate a things-I-hate list with greater ease than it took to make the things-I-love list. Which I guess is kind of the point. I don't want to be a hater-of-all-things. There are so many things out there to love. And to love something is a much pleasanter sensation than to hate* something.

*Some say that hate is practically the same thing as love. They're both strong feelings that require a fair amount of focus. Hate isn't apathy. Just saying. Aislinn must have a complicated relationship with kittens.

But wait...who says werewolves don't exist?
Avery Trelaine
fiddles are just so hardcore. especially if you're, like, the fiddle player for Yellowcard and no one ever hears you but you remain awesome.
of COURSE werewolves exist. several people i know are werewolves. i mean things that "really" existed, which is why i thought i put astreicks around really, but apparently i didn't, probably because i was distracted by the ex-military head of discipline coming up behind me to yell at kids for pushing rolling chairs.
also, i thought of more.

Of course magic is real!

I must fix that.
M, you have a wonderful list.
I agree with the whole thing.
Artemis FTW!

PS Welcome to comment-dom!

17)Night
18)Pictures (not to be confused with paintings, though they are nice as well).
Why thank you for the welcome. I welcome you to the world of comment-dom with me.
There are too many things that I love...I just went back and added things...only to think of more once I was finished. Roar.
Avery Trelaine
Life, etc.
I'm sure I could spend weeks writing out a long, long list -- and still leave out many things I love. Of course, there are many things I love more than I love other things -- this blog (inter alia) comes to mind -- but I think the most succinct way of listing the things I love is simply to say life itself, and all the wonderfulness contained therein.
HOO-HAH, NERDFIGHTERS! And yay TOFU POWER!!! Are you a vegan, or just vegetarian? And I absolutely despise reading books that are smelly or have yucky covers. But I'm a bit upset at the rain, as it has soaked my shoes and I have no other pairs to wear, which does pose a problem for leaving thehouse and avoiding the contraction of ringworms.
Just Vegetarian.
