You've Made the List

things that i love:
-gazpacho! and pudding! and cold-brewed coffee! and whipped cream! all of which i have in my fridge right now!
-BMB hangouts! let's just make this a weekly thing
-my huge compost pile
-when st marie does the dishes...what a nice guy
-marian keyes=best chick-lit author EVER
-getting paid to build pillow forts and eat chips'n'guac with a 3-year-old
-when a customer at the bakery sez "oh, are you new here?" and i smile and say "no...actually been workin' here for 6 years..."
-the highly inappropriate conversations we have in spanish class
-highland black mountain bitter, omg it's delicious. getchew sum!
-gossip girl. it's so terrible. so wonderful.
-did i mention beets? roasted to perfection?


things that i don't love:
-rain! sorry all you optimists and romantics and paddlers...the glass is NOT half full, i know we 'need it' but i 'don't want it'!
-getting dropped at tuesday night worlds...i just don't have it in me right now
-april fool's day, when for one sweet hour i thought this weekend's road race was canceled and i started planning up a lovely weekend filled with hanging out and tsali-racing and playing host to emily and etc etc etc...only to have my dreams crushed
-not knowing what to do with my life or, more pressingly, my summer. internship? live in mt shasta for awhile with my wonderful crunchy relatives? just hang out and ride and earn money?
-the stigma that comes with 'roadie'...in CH everyone had their heads crammed up their own booties (and i don't mean shoe covers) but here everyone is desperate to seem like they're not trying at all, that they don't care. i prefer the latter, definitely, but c'mon. i ride bikes. that's all.
-my INSANE global history teacher

to be continued later, i'm sure. there are lots of things i love, and also things i don't love.
and as you might've noticed, i LOVE exclamation points!...!!...!!!

Upping the Smug Factor

i complain about bc's requirements but secretly i'm enjoying the environmental perspectives class...this week, anyway. it's scary and inspirational. i really want to save the world. and plant a garden. and go buy flourescent light bulbs. however, i refuse to take three minute showers, so i can never be truly smug.
