Thorn In My Side - Eurythmics
Monday, February 9, 2009 by Genre
Okay, so Nicole has challenged me to make a list of things I love that start with the letter "N". Here it goes:
1. Nicole.
She is the most important person ever to come into my life. I am so glad we met, so glad we fight, so glad that we are so completely different. I would never trade her for another human on this Earth. I love her so much. Her and I need way more pictures together, holy fuck. Those are the only ones I have that I can find.
2. Nature. I loved having a beach I could run to, sand stretching for miles along my private beach. I miss each surf breaking on my toes as I sat there soaking in the sun and swaying in the breeze. I loved having acres of forest behind the house to walk through. Every day a new path was discovered. I love fresh air. I love clear thoughts that come when you're alone and surrounded by trees. Sitting on a tree stump just enjoying the sounds of animals going about their lives.
3. Night. I had to cheat a little to get this one, thanks Nicole (SEE WHAT I MEAN (ref. above)). I used to have insomnia, and I used to get so many things done during those sleepless nights. I love when the sun sets. I love the stars. My grandparents used to take me camping, and I would lay on the beach at night and point out every constellation I could name. I'd be damned if I could remember them all now. I love how calm everything is at night.
4. Notes. Whether they be reminders to get milk, post-its saying "I love you, have a good day", whatever. I love making notes, I love getting notes. My blackberry is filled with notes on the memopad with phone numbers of employers, apartments for rent, appointments, things I need to buy, things I need to find out for work. I have to have notes to function. I would lose track of everything if I didn't have a little reminder. The other day I erased a note I left myself on my mirror saying "Buy toothpaste&whitestrips". I don't think about those things while I'm out unless I see it before I go.
5. Novels. I can't exactly say only novels though, as I love reading anything and everything. Books have been a staple in my life, and I will never not read. I've been reading since the ripe age of three, and I have never been so thankful for learning such a skill so early in my life. Through reading I have taught myself everything I know. I remember being told in grade four that I read at a grade eleven level, I was so proud of myself. I owe all my knowledge to books.
6. Nibs. Yeah, that candy licorice shit. I love those things. They are so fucking tasty.
7. Necks. This is such a weird one to post, I feel mental for even saying this but whatever, I'll get over it. I love necks. I like guys with thicker, strong looking necks, I like being kissed on my neck, I just love them. Shut up.
8. Nearness. I love being close to people I care about physically. I like sitting beside them, I like laying beside them. I don't like not being near someone I care about when they're present.
9. Nebulae. They're so beautiful to look at. All those gases and matter just floating around making such amazing images, spanning god knows how much distance. It's incredible.
10. New beginnings. Okay, technically that's two words, but cut me some slack. This took me a fucking hour to do. I love having a clean slate. I like formatting computers and having nothing but a BIOS to play with. I like new languages, I like new cultures. I like travelling to places where nobody knows me and I can engineer myself a persona. Forgiveness and starting fresh, starting with a new perspective.
That's my list. Post yours.
