after being inspired by my darling teresa's list of things she loves, i thought i might do the same.  nothing starts the day off better than thinking of happy things, instead of the intense string of nightmares i had last night.

(t, are we living a double life?  we both have nightmares, we both love things, we both miss eachother...i think we might be the same person in different bodies...)

I LOVE

iced coffee with raw sugar and soy

menthol cigarettes

my macbook and iphone

skinny jeans

finding shoes at goodwill that fit me (two pair, last week!)

thrifting 90% of my closet and having no shame in the fact

dresses that remind me of my childhood

fashion blogs

blogs in general

irish literature/music/film/people (i'm in a current state of constant lust for The Pogues and Flogging Molly, even though FM is a sort of main-stream version of Irish punk.)

my job at Starbucks and my new location

my car

my lovely besties, angela and jennifer, who have my back through everything

missing him in the best sort of way

late night FB chats

bangs (and haircuts in general)

feeling sustainable

delta of venus

my fall 2009 school schedule

my new roommates and my tiny, loved, not yet lived in loft

phew!  now, when you think about it, that's a WHOLE lot of happy balancing out all the ugly in the world.  can't help but grin when i think about it.  things can go to shit, the whole world can go to hell in a hand basket but if I'm wearing a cute dress walking through downtown Davis with "#40" playing on my headphones, i can do nothing more but laugh and dance because life is so goddamned beautiful it hurts.
