giddy with glee...
so i'm going to try it again, this whole challenge thing. this one is from kween_of_the_queens. check it out. ;)
Challenge A: What gives you Glee? Seriously. What makes you happy? What are the things thing that would give you a full blown patronus or that would make you dance around in your pajamas during a raging thunderstorm singing and twirling with draperies? Let's go for a list. We haven't had one of those in a while. 25 things that make you giddy with glee. Aaaand... go!
- raindrops on roses
- whiskers on kittens
- bright copper kettles
oh... you mean i have to come up with my own? dammit. fine then. in no particular order:
- books. well, this one might be in order. i'm a big fan. really big.
- writing. more of a love/hate thing here. well, an always love but not always like thing. but it's what i want to do. for some reason.
- friends. especially the ones that actually like me.
- music. it rocks. even the non-rocky stuff.
- midnight releases. i've dressed up once. didn't add much. but i love these. i hope i'm never too old for them.
- concerts. haven't been in too long. they used to depress me. they still make me a little nostalgic.
- theater. awesomeness on a stage.
- movies. it's like the theater. except it's on a screen. and you can get them with subtitles.
- ice cream sandwiches. oh me. more like orgasm sandwiches. i like making my own, too, with chocolate chip cookies. but the store-bought chocolate wafer ones are just as amazing.
- thunderstorms. because they go "BOOM!" like dynamite.
- hot showers. often more than one. often the favorite parts of my day.
- kittens. though he's not much of a kitten anymore. he cuddles with me. =)
- travel. i haven't been on a proper trip in almost a decade. sad sad. but i love them. love road trips. and i want to be able to travel someday.
- glee. the emotion is good, but i'm definitely talking about the tv show. i'm so freaking excited for the 13th. i'm throwing a party. =)
- cuddling. i'm kind of a cuddle whore.
- boys. let's face it: i'm boy crazy. and it's wonderful to be able to say that.
- british accents. david is one of my best friends (alas, haven't met him yet) and he has an amazing voice. seriously sounds like jude law. i love skyping with him. why does that sound dirty? hm... probably because i want it to. ;) now he'll never want to do it again. =( anyway. i have a slight hope that my husband will have a british accent.
- exercise. maybe i'm weird, but i love it. lifting, running, what have you. especially long walks. love 'em. beach not required. company is nice, but also not required.
- getting things in the mail. i'm an amazon.com and netflix junkie, so i usually know when things are coming (because i track their progress religiously), but it's also nice when they get there early. surprise packages/letters are the best, but i usually only get those from my mom. she thinks i'm special.
- cooking. i like it a lot. i should go help my mom with lunch, actually. =)
- teaching. some things. not school, really, though i've never tried it, but i like teaching people how to do things or about things. recently i've been teaching a friend how to sing. and it's fun.
- crosswords. i love a good crossword.
- chocolate eggs. or just chocolate in general. yummy stuff.
- mania. i'm a bit bipolar, so sometimes i can't help it when i feel all giddy. sometimes it's nice, for a change.
- stars. i'm home in kansas city for the weekend and my parents live a little bit out in the country. last night was the first time i've seen stars in ages. it was wonderful. =)
click! take the challenge! you know you want to...
