I did this years ago, likely when I felt sarcasm regarding my reality, much like I do now. There comes a time when you just need to be reminded that sex with your boyfriend, or hell, just seeing his face (as mine generally appears before me in the form the Live Messenger window) is not the only joy that can be found in this world�I will now attempt to note 100 things I love, large and small and all somewhat pointless:
(in no particular order, but to make sure I count 100 things I love, it is numbered)
100. I love that writing is so damn therapeutic
99. I love thinking about riding my bike
98. 97. I love when marshmallows get really gooey in hot chocolate, which I prefer in French Vanilla flavor (this one counts as two loves)
96. I love buying crafty things and thinking of all things I could do now that I have those things�/sarcasm
95. hot showers (especially with my boyfriend, as it is now rare)
94. care bears, because I was deprived as a child
93. watching just how weird bugs look when they walk, and imagining how it must feel to walk that way
92. doing a walk-through of my house and finding no bastard widow spiders anywhere�
91. playing with my cat's toys (extra sarcasm on this one as he never seems as amused by them as I am)
90. piles of papers (I am adding this because while I am not consciously fond of them, they are all over my room, which implies a certain level of fondness for them)
89. when my boyfriend asks me to make my "scrungy face" again whenever I disapprove of something. I guess I make a face, heh.
88. recycling (I am one of three residents in my building who actually do it)
87. I love thinking of how my room would look if I actually organized and cleaned it.
86. pillows, thank god for pillows.
85. hot fudge, except the good ones all have high fructose corn syrup now or aspartame and I can't digest much of either.
84. when I put new ink in my printer and it successfully accepts it
83. tequila�because there's nothing quite like drug induced happiness
82. Honey Boo Boo, though I will NEVER admit to this in person. If only I
could feel as comfortable as she does about farting at the dinner table�
81. word magnets
80. All of my childhood toys that I still have�(like my little ponies, strawberry shortcake, the orange view-master and slides, and all of my 80's mcdonalds toys, lol)
