I Adore...

I did an exercise for a writing class which was supposed to show me who I really was and help me become a better writer. I'm not sure about the latter, but I'm learning that there seems to be a lot of things I adore.

I was at work this weekend and kept thinking of more and more things I could have added to the list. So here they all are. I was going to make them rhyme and fit them to the tune of "Favourite Things" but that would involve a whole world of effort. Also, what rhymes with sandwich?

I adore...

• Smoothies.
• Standing still in the shower, early in the morning, closing my eyes and letting the water rush over me.
• Playing music really loud.
• Lying in bed and playing music softly next to my ear.
• Pie, preferably homemade.
• Walking in the early hours of the morning.
• Costume parties, because I can be someone else for a night.
• Making people smile.
• Making people laugh.
• Swinging on a swing.
• Lying in warm grass.
• Jumping into a swimming pool second time around.
• Big jumpers that cover my hands (I think that's a comfort thing).
• Going to a quiet pub with friends and just talking; when it's not about the drink and more about the company.
• Hugging people.
• Getting lost in writing. When I stop trying to figure out what my characters are going to say and do next and just let my characters decide what they want to say or do.
• Finding a solution to my writer's block and it being so simple and so awesome.
• Watching pretty girls on a train (In a non-stalker way).
• Cooking for people.
• Holding someone's hand.
• Being silent with people and not worrying about what to say next.
• People playing with my hair.
• Running really fast in a supermarket and sliding round a corner.
• When lyrics to a song fit my life beautifully.
• Hearing a song that takes me back to a time or place, even if it's not a very happy place.
• Films that make me cry.
• The sound of rain on a conservatory roof.
• Watching people sleep (Again, not in a stalker way)
• Giving people presents on days they don't expect it.
• Photographs of friends.
• Cool sounding words.
• Someone strumming on a guitar.
• Commas.
• Writing lists of things I adore (Well, now)

:D
