Posted:I am with Glass, so I will start my list with two of his:
Friends and love
Coffee & warm bread
Okay, I am counting it as two, even though it is four. Here is the rest:
teaching someone a new move & the pride they show in themselves when they get it
fireworks
sleeping in late
touching the face of the one you love
wiggling my toes (don't laugh, just take of your shoes & socks & try it. Now didn't that make you happy?)
A good chat with a friend
fire twirling on a warm evening
dancing to good drum beats

Posted:10 things that I like... hmmmm
Number one has to be Valura... or else I'll get my head bitten off...
Number two would be this site
Number three, the smell of cooking waffles... mmmmm
Number three is that feeling of not forgeting something
Number five fire... and burning things... and watching them burn... and melt and smoke and... and...
Number six reading the bible backwards... it's so good to read it as we're all going to die to life starts
Number seven learning the btb weave...that was fun... no wait... that was painful...
Number eight is knowing that I only have two more of these to do.
Number nine is acting like a monkey and humping peoples legs... and chasing after them.
Number ten just being my self...
