Good things

y initial instinct to log on and show solidarity for KFR's list of things he hates by listing the things I hate has been vetoed by my dire need for optimism right now. Seriously, you guys, I need to find a silver fucking lining as the list of things I hate is very, very extensive (and detailed) right now...

SO! A list of things I ♥ :

My cat gets super cuddly and headbutts me. Its adorable every time.

Seamus's roommates cat, Slim, gets all fired up and runs around the house and does random little hops and sometimes you can just catch the sight of her mid-air through a doorway.

(So, cats in general, really.)

Chocolate. Obviously everyone in their right mind loves chocolate.

Bubble baths. Seamus scrubbed his beautiful claw-foot tub just for me to be able to take my first bubble bath in over a year (and my first bubble bath ever in a claw-foot tub) last night and it was most delightful.

Comedies. I really never seek out a movie to watch that isnt a comedy. Or, rarely ever, anyway. I sometimes get all sappy and in the mood for a chick-flick, or a nice action/adventure or suspense film, and I honestly NEVER like to watch horror; usually, though, Im in the mood for comedy because laughing at funny things is awesome.

(This is where I reveal how nerdy I am) I really love it when I work out a long equation and get the answer right the first time. When everything just clicks and makes sense and adds up. And in the end - perfection. Only one right answer and I found it. Sad, isnt it?

Girly, crafty things like those found on this blog that I discovered today called Creature Comforts. I could have sunk my entire day into clicking around on links and projects from that blog alone. *sigh* Someday I will have time.

Cooking. As you know, I absolutely adore to cook. And who doesnt love food?

Guilt-free lazy days where you just say "fuck it" and turn off your cell phone and curl up on the couch and watch an entire season of Dexter or The Wire or True Blood or some other excellent show all day, completely ignoring the outside world. On these days its best to have food delivered, for efficiency. An entire season in one day is quite a feat, and while I love it very, very much, there can be no time spent cooking.

Keeping in mind that winter break is almost here, and everything I listed can be done indoors at any time, this cheers me up. I have an insane amount of homework to catch up on, but, after all my hard work this term I am most certainly going to reward myself with most (if not all) of these things as often as I can during my time off from school.

Love,
