list 43 things I like

I really enjoy watching bands play live in bars or concert halls or on festival stages. The music feels more real than when it’s recorded and I like watching the bands enjoying themselves.

I really enjoy my dance class. Even when I struggle and I can’t remember all the moves it’s fun. And it helps reduce my aches and pains a lot.

I love woolly jumpers because they are lovely and warm and come in many shapes and sizes and colours, so you can find/make the perfect one for anyone.

29) pay day: getting paid regularly is awesome after being a student for so long.
30) having a meaningful job: I like having purpose at work, knowing how my project fits into the big picture to help other people make decisions.

28. The feeling you get after handing in a piece of coursework before the deadline.

26. Sewing clothes: I love making clothes, it’s great creating something original that fits really well and having people ask you where you got it and how nice it looks and how nice you look wearing it.
27. Sewing/embroidery: I like sewing patterns and designs on things. I did embroidery as part of my A-Level art, I had lots of fun.

23. The Internet: without it I wouldn’t have so many friends or be able to stay in contact with so many people so easily. It also helps me do research for many things and also share my thoughts with people about things.
24. Sleep: Sleep is great. I love getting plenty of it and am decidedly grumpy if I don’t.
25. Dreams: I love both dreams you have when asleep and also daydreams. Dreams for the future are also good.

19. Knowledge: I like knowing the answers to questions/problems.
20. Learning: I like learning more things.
21. Inspiration: This is one of my favourite things. I love to be inspired to do/say something by something I see/hear/read etc. Inspiration to take photos, or to try a certain recipe or to learn about entropy today.
22. Biscuits (or bikkits): I love bikkits, home baked ones are good, but I also like some store-bought ones. I like dunking them in my drinks. It doesn’t matter too much what the drink is. I think beer is possibly the only drink I haven’t ever dunked a biscuit into.

12. Hugs: I love hugs! They’re great.
13. Mountains and hills: I love walking in the hills and the mountains. It’s so peaceful and relaxing.
14. The sea: I love the sea – especially at Aberystwyth.
15. Taking photos: I love taking photos. Especially of sunsets, the countryside, the seaside, lakesides etc. I’d like to get more into portraits, but I don’t often get the chance to work creatively with people.
16. Music: I don’t know where I’d be without music in my life. My laptop is almost constantly spouting music out. I also love playing my clarinet and whistling and humming and singing to myself.
17. Glühwein: I love drinking proper German mulled wine at the Christmas markets when it’s cold. It’s also good in the winter in a pub to warm your hands after walking.
18. Theatre: I love going to see plays and musicals. I love seeing the acting and the singing and the costumes and hearing the music and seeing the sets. Especially if it’s adapted from a book. It’s good to see how different producers “see” the book.

History is so fascinating. I like little stories about how life was for every day people years ago. I love hearing my Grandparents tell me what it was like in their day. Even if they’ve told me that story before I listen in the hope that this time they will tell it differently and they’ll remember a little bit more.
