10 Things I Love About Everything

For those of you who have seen Nate's post "10 Things I Hate About Everything" this is my positive spin on the subject. For those of you who haven't, it'll just seem like a random post. I doubt that I'll be able to go 1-10, as I seem to have a mild form of ADD but I'll struggle to get there eventually.

10. New Socks- They just feel so damn good. If the new socks v. sex debate came up I would generally have to say new socks. Yes, I love them that much. I especially love the one with the ribbing around the arch of the foot. It's a sort of warm, cottony heaven. Those of you who have seen my sock collection know of my true appreciation of this wonderful article of clothing.

9. Sleeping In-There's much to be said about early to bed, early to rise, but there's also something to be said about early to bed, late to rise. Waking up, squinting madly at the clock (this is probably just me and my extreme nearsightedness) and noticing that it's well after the time you should have been up but you just don't care because it felt so damn good. Bonus points if there's someone else sleeping in with you. That way you can do that early morning I'm too hot get away from me oh wait I'm waking up a little more and I'm now craving human contact oh my God what is that thing no way it's too early for that well okay but make it quick I was just kidding slow down that was fun let's go take a shower now sort of thing.

8. Romantic Comedies-Guys, I know that you're required by the Y chromosome to say that you hate these but I know deep down somewhere you secretly love them. How could you not? They're so light and airy and rarely involve anything thinking whatsoever. Much like some people I know. My major exception is Sleepless in Seattle. Damn that movie is irritating. Meg Ryan is a rather annoying actress as it is but her in that role is just a little too much.

7. Falling in Love-Yes, I realize that this list is rather girly right now, but just wait. And, after all, I am a girl. Yes, I know some of you are shocked. Get over it or I'll beat you up. Anyway, back to falling in love. It's the best feeling in the world and those of you that have been in love, which I assume almost everyone has, can attest to it. The excitement, the anticipation, the happiness, it's all just a great feeling. It's only happened to me once but I'm going to make damn sure it happens again. Someday. When I stop being a cold hearted bitch, that is. =)

6. Fishing-Somehow this past time managed to make Nate's honorable mentions on the hate list but it's one of my favorite things to do when I'm home. I'm not talking going out for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours (whoa, sorry, had a flashback to my childhood for a minute there. Thanks for that emotional scar dad, not that I didn't love trying to hang my ass off the back of the boat to piss) but going out for a couple hours is always so much fun. Just sitting in the canoe in the sun (which invariably turns to a torrential downpour) and catching pan fish, a few bass, the occasional pike, and the one time only accidently almost caught Muskie (imagine three chicks in a canoe and a giant man-eating fish). Fishing always leads to great stories of triple snags, following boy scouts, and broken props.

Well, as originally suspected, I'm tired of writing and I'm on to the next thing. Later kids.

Jaime, you crack me up. I love your #9 sleeping in paragraph. Especially the last sentence because it's, well, it's frickin hilarious! But romantic comedies? I never would have though that would come from the girl who owns all of the James Bonds on DVD. But hey...it's all good!
