my favorite is when it's all stormy and blackest black but the sun is
setting below the clouds and it lites everything up so that it's all brite out even tho the sky is dark. other things i like: dance parties (and/or sleeping) in stranger's livingrooms. cooking for girls. and boys. but especially girls. pink lightning. nite swimming in new england. floating down rivers. with beer. beer. and sometimes it's nice to not drink beer. like maybe instead having a hot cup of english breakfast tea and a little bit of cream. on a porch or something. doing a crossword with a friend. backs of vans. walking. jumping off curbs. stumbling thru foreign countries. cats who sleep on my thigh. the time between two a.m. and sunrise. the smell of the san joaquin. little babies and people who have little babies. abandoned amusement parks. riding old rickity bicycles. polaroids. tummies touching. crudloads of beautiful friends who leave me nice testimonials. made-up words. alliteration. doug's down jacket. also, i believe that what happens on the road shouldn't necessarily stay on the road.

people who will not think i'm some sort of internet weirdo just because i have alot of friends. somebody with stories/secrets to share. letter writers. seamstresses. knitters. people who make crafts out of aluminum cans or tree stumps. bonus if you carve bears out of logs with a chainsaw. local celebrities (newscasters and whatnot). roller rink djs. anyone made of magic. folks who turn dreams into realities. girls who drive big trucks and/or have rad nipples. princess buttercup. people who like naps, anywhere, everywhere and always. but also people who are excited to wake up. people who are afraid to die. cavedwellers. campers. monkeys. someone who will never say "let's jam." someone who likes to talk about their favorite parts of songs. or their favorite parts of bodies. or their favorite bodies of water. bbqers. long lost friends. anyone who has plastic wildlife in their garden. people who love their parents. stuff like that.
