identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money)

8. Great cars. I happen to think station wagons are sexy. :D Little oldschool foreign convertibles make me go “SQUEE!” inside and happily bounce around in the middle of the street. And I’ve been seeing MGs everywhere lately.

God, I want a car. I don’t need one, and I won’t get one, but damnnnnn.

7. The sun. I really, really love the sun. Warm on your shoulders, makes your hair hot to the touch, freckles (and probably melanoma from the looks of it), blue blue blue sky, absolutely necessary to fall asleep in like a cat.

5. Tracking shipments with UPS. “Oh, look, my brand new flip-flops and surplus military blanket are finally in California!” And on that note-

6. Gift cards are win. Totally guilt free spending. Even if it’s nothing you’d normally buy or even think you wanted.

1. Making myself a breakfast worth eating. Eggs, toast, bacon, spinach, potatoes, obligatory caffeine fix, whatever… it’s unbelievably, weirdly satisfying.

2. Sitting (perching and dangling my legs, anyway) on counters, washing machines, railings, ledges…

3. The railroad tracks that I walk as a shortcut to a very good friend’s house, all green and unused and just totally full of romance.

4. The smell of clove cigarettes.
