things I love (a thoroughly incomplete list)

A friend of mine started this up a couple of weeks ago. Feel free to respond with your own (assuming anyone reads this thing anymore), or post to your own blog (let me know if that's the option you choose). Since my last post was such a downer, I thought this list would show that I am not always morose, I've just had a hard time lately. Most of my friends (or enemies or casual acquaintances or strangers in the street) would say that I am a complete goofball for the most part. So here's my version of a list:

The rush/burn of a good chili pepper
The laughter of a good friend when you tell that same dumb joke you always tell
The rolling of eyes when you tell a particularly nasty pun
Singing along to a song you love even if you know you can't do it well
Sipping a warm cuppa tea
Having the juice from a fresh peach tickle your chin
The warmth of the one (or one of the ones, I guess) you love when they touch you
The wind blowing across your face
An honest smile
"Only connect"-ing as in E.M. Forster's Howard's End
Cooking a good meal for someone you care about
Walking barefoot on the grass (as long as it's not freshly mown)
Catching fireflies then letting them go
A funky beat
Remembering that thing that was on the tip of your tongue but couldn't name a second before
Getting lost in a story
Subjunctive mood
Anything and all things between a quick smooch and passionate kisses
Lower-fat, lower-calorie food that is still delicious
Lucid dreaming
A slow dance like at the end of Beautiful Thing
The lingering scent on my fingers after picking a flower or herb (currently that would be Greek oregano, btw)
A touch (or maybe more) of silliness
Being amazed and astonished
Parallelism between regular nouns & gerunds, apparently
