Having my own office and my own private bathroom.

When I first heard I was getting one I was like, "oh, that's cool. I guess." A week into this gig and I'm wondering how people manage without one.

I love that they used an REO Speedwagon song in the pilot of Glee.

My plants.

The fact that I have not killed my plants.

Tonight's pasta sauce (don't crowd the mushrooms!).

The smell of clean laundry.

*hugs Alea* YAY! Getting things paid off feels so nice!

And, as of today it's been 2 months since Courtney and I started dating. I love that too.

My favorite awesome Squishy Pen. It's got this gel grip on it that's not like other cushion grips -- it's really gelly like and awesome. It's been my transition object and source of comfort and sanity since I changed offices, and helps me keep my professional vertigo under control.

I had to have said this before but I'm saying it each and every damn time it happens: I love getting galleys. One from this most recent bunch looks particularly good: NUM8ERS by Rachel Ward.

I know one shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and yadda yadda and all. but I would think, 'oh they put an 8 instead of a B, this book is probably terrible.'

I think they made a movie that transposed an 8 for B in the word numbers and it was a terrible movie (or looked it). :-p

It would be awesome though if the book is indeed particularly good. despite the 1337 title!

King of the Hill. Despite the opinions of my brothers and the world at large, I find it consistently funnier than Futurama.

King of the Hill is definitely better than Futurama, and occasionally better than family guy.

My Metroid Prime Trilogy. It came in a metal case and carried with it two updates of great games and an unadulterated version of another great game, and I love it so.

But Metroid Prime 2, why are you so much more frustrating than the others? It was the same on Gamecube, and I was hoping, now that I've played you before, you wouldn't be as painful. But there's just as much backtracking, just as much "holy jeeze I can't believe I missed that and tracked all over the world looking for something that was, in fact, in the first room I looked," just as much aggravation.

Must... power... through... for... excellent third game...

That I have a pirate flag up in window, which happens to be directly above the main entrance to my dorm building.

Also, re-reading SftD.

One of my friends has a dog named Petra. It makes me happy. And my cousin named his son Ender, so I love him.

I also love that my great aunt is named Zelda.

My great grandfather, and at least one of my great-uncles are named Tom Riddle.

I know this might seem very lame, but I love nothing better than having a miniature that matches a character you love playing as. And when I say character, I mean in a table-top game. Because there's just something better about having an accurate depiction of a character you've spent hours and hours developing.

I also love whoever sold me that mini, because I bought it at 10:30 Friday night, from eBay, and I got it today. That's one-day shipping!

I have a lot more.....but.....I can't remember since my brain has turned into mush because of all the homework I have. I definitely DO NOT like homework.
