I like: pulling pranks and people's chains, legs, occasional all nighters, my dog (more than some people I know), the sunset on Chesapeake Bay, snow peas, achieving goals, home made bread, puppy's breath, pleasant surprises, committing chic flicks, 80s music, seeing justice prevail and the underdog getting the girl, listening to a gentle rain in the pines, scented candles if they're good ones, delighted looks, steamy books, pottery, baskets, steamy sex, my laptop, my car
I dislike: rude people, bullies, the shape the world is in, (something's GOT to give!), slobs, getting old, "made in China" stickers, crooked politicians, confrontations, drama, abortions, sacrilege, heights, snobs, a dirty house or car, ignorance, rutabagas, soap operas, cliques, truce breakers, alcoholics, phonies, people who jump to conclusions, liars, thieves, poverty, whiners
"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good." ~Vaclav Havel
