"A Few of My Favorite Things"
marinara sauce
television
reading in bed
men in crisp collared shirts
the smell of rain on cement
getting home after a long day
Why "I Enjoy Being a Girl"
can have long fluffy hair and not be gross
wearing pretty dresses
(it's hard to make this list and not seem like hopeless 50s-style repressed woman, but I do like those things.)
I sometimes like to have doors held open, etc., but hardly any guys do that anymore, so not quite the bonus it used to be.
"Memory"
I remember when my little sister was born, and I was excited because my mom gave me a new Teddy-bear so I wouldn't feel left out.
I remember getting my first tooth pulled when I was seven, and I refused to open my mouth for the novacaine shots. The dentist assured me it wouldn't hurt, and I believed him like an idiot. I opened my mouth and it hurt like heck.
I remember in fifth grade when I sent away for a list of all the endangered wildlife species, then brought it to class and the teacher let me present it to everyone. I can't believe how uncool I was.
I remember my first day of college when I had to play some stupid game with toilet paper and thinking that civilization was really going downhill fast.
I remember I was so happy on my 22nd birthday because my friends James and Jodi baked a cake with my name on it in blue frosting.
