Things I Like

Today is Valentine's Day (shocker, I know). I can't say I have a lot of particularly strong emotions about it. I've had a grand total of 2 boyfriends on different V-Days, but it never really was one of those things I thought much about. I guess last year we went out for sushi at the last minute, but it wasn't a planned thing, so it was almost more of a regular "let's go out for sushi" sort of night than anything.

So, instead of waxing long about what V-Day means to me, I figured it would be more fun to write about things I like. Because when it comes down to it, V-Day is really just a day to celebrate someone you really care about. So why not make it a day to celebrate the things I care about instead?

• Receiving actual letters in the mail
• Sending things in the mail (part of this for me is that I get a sense of pride from it as well, since I'm a notorious procrastinator when sending things by post)
• Working on projects that I legitimately care about
• Travelling
• Seeing friends and family that are far away
• Watching ridiculous movies
• Reading a good book that actively engages me
• Watching thought-provoking movies
• Discovering a new TV series that I turn out to like so much that I only watch it until I make it through all the existing episodes
• A nice cup of tea
• A nice gaiwan of tea (see what I did there?)
• Travelling (yeah, this gets a double feature)
• Enjoying a decent cigar with great company
• A cold beer
• A pint of cider in the local pub
• Bulmers cider in the local pub
• Going out dancing and just not caring what anyone thinks
• Going out dancing and not having a single drop of alcohol, yet still not caring what anyone thinks
• Sharing my personal interests with others
• Teaching friends, family, and strangers about topics dear to my heart
• Sleeping in (for me this means 8am)
• Trying something new
• Going on solo road trips
• Exploring new places
• Meeting new people
• Indulging in a pint with good company at the end of a long day
• That butterfly feeling you get in your stomach when you first begin to "crush" on someone and they're around
• Completing a task I've been working on for a while

I'll leave it at this for now! But I definitely could go on listing things I like for a very long time!
