a meme of simple pleasures, for which ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ataralas and mrvoid both tagged me in the span of less than an hour.
Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick ten people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.
1. bare trees covered in ice and snow. i realised again this winter, one morning when i was waiting for the shuttle to go to my torts final, how absolutely breathtaking that sight is.
2. cheese. not the processed stuff, american cheese or fake swiss cheese or anything of that ilk...but real, honest-to-god cheese.
3. that first sip of coffee in the morning. i know then that life is, in fact, going to creep back into me for another day.
4. spelunking around a neighbourhood that i don't know, or don't know very well yet. i've done that here in st. louis more over the last two weeks than i have since i've moved here, and rediscovered how awesome that felt when i did the same thing in chicago.
5. a great big hug. when everything seems to suck, sometimes a hug from someone who means a lot to me is all i need to get things going well again.
6. board games. be they the complicated and strategic kind (settlers, history of the world, etc...), or the let's-revert-to-childhood kind (life, monopoly, etc...), playing board games always makes me overwhelmingly happy and amused.
7. penguins. still photographs of penguins amuse me. moving films and clips of penguins waddling around amuse me even more. best of all is going to the zoo to see the penguins...i'm glad the zoo in forest park here in st. louis is free...and has the best penguin exhibit ever. they're not even caged behind glass...it's a cold building, and you have to walk into the penguins' world.
8. the dirt cheap chicken. it's a silly mascot for a silly, locally produced advertisement. still, whenever the dirt cheap chicken comes on television, i forget everything else around me, and sit in complete amusement for a minute...or more like several, as i keep repeating "cheap! cheap! fun! fun!" and giggling hysterically for a while afterwards. i never know when the ads are going to come on tv, but when they do, i'm a happy camper.
9. anything shiny. shiny things distract me.
10. being able to sleep in on the weekends. i took that for granted until trial team kicked up this semester, and we had practice both saturday and sunday mornings.
as for tagging...i don't tag. do it if you think it's fun.
