Things that I love

[Wind Swept]

The Theme from Up.

[Luet]

The fact that my cat's penchant for chasing his tail on top of the toilet tank has evolved into a daily ritual. (I have a weird cat.)

Joining in on weird cats which doubles as things that I love.

My cat takes a daily shower with my husband. She stands under the water and gets soaked. And then waits on the top of the toilet tank to get toweled off.

She also loves to eat raw collard greens but doesn't like chicken. Weirdo.

Continuing the saga:

That my cat was so determined to catch his tail he fell off the toilet tank and into the wastebasket to get it.

(but some of the people, too)

I love watching my cats play around on the kitchen floor together.

Getting cable and internet for a year at $2/month less than you currently pay for internet alone (and at the same speed), just by calling the cable company's customer service department.

Perhaps this is bad of me but I love encouraging certain mispronounced words from my nephews.

The youngest calls Wall*E Waddy -he can't seem to pronounce it even after he was corrected multiple times- not to rhyme with "daddy" but rather like a wad of gum.

The oldest was curious about a cockroach (from Wall*E) and misheard it as cockagrouch, and has called them that ever since. At least that's how I remember it happening.



It probably would have been simpler to say I love my nephews.


In anticipation of their baby sister who is expected in November, I will add that I also love the smell of newborns (a variation on new car smell, I guess, but sweeter) and their socks just about do me in. Love the smell and size of baby socks.

I will add that I also love the smell of newborns

Some things are best left unsaid.

[Gravity Defier]

Why? I'm not talking about the spitup or dirty diapers. I'm talking about the baby shampoo, the baby soap, the baby lotion. It weirds me out a bit when adult females use those things but on babies, it's a nice smell.

Oh, I know. I had a funny visual of you sniffing a baby. Thanks for the laugh.

I have a niece due on November 15! What date is yours due? I'm going out to CA in October for the baby shower.

[Gravity Defier]

Congrats, Auntie! Mine is expected on November 4th.


Will, that's me: Alea the Baby-Sniffer. Not as glamorous a hyphen as Vampire-Hunter but I think the occupational hazard is lower.


ETA: I also love the second panel in the most recent page of http://www.meekcomic.com/ Her expression is just plain awesome, no other way for me to describe it.

I was able to get a bigger version of it for voting for the comic, so yay! to adding to my collection of images.

[Jeesh_girl15]

I have a niece due on November 15!

Oh, Cool! I want a niece, but I'm kind of the oldest child... Congrats

Weird. November 15th is my bday.

[Luet]

It's also my wedding anniversary. This year will be our 12th.

Nectarines, cut up in a bowl, topped with cookies and cream ice cream. I could eat it every day but I limit myself to when the nectarines are in season locally.

Have I said this before: Brinner? If not, BRINNER!

Which, after much consideration, I'm having tonight.


(Why is there silverware in the pancake drawer?)

[mr_thebrain]

i can't have brinner very often. in fact i can't have breakfast very often either (unless it's a bowl of cereal)

for some reason i crave it, then i make it and eat it. then the mere though of it makes me feel nauseous. then after a few months i'll forget about the nausea and crave it again. rinse repeat.

[Gravity Defier]

I eat a good (i.e. unhealthy-ish) breakfast on Sundays. The rest of the week, it's yogurt or Rice Chex. I do love it, though I'm not always in the mood for it.

I've had a goal/dream for years that I'll someday, wherever I am, have local friends who will stay up until 3AM and go to IHOP or an equivalent with me.

Breakfast = awesome.
Brinner = awesome.
4th meal breakfast = awesome.

[mr_thebrain]

well the 3am trip to ihop is usually to sop up a butt-load of alcohol. btw ihop and denny's are interchangable.

a goal/dream though? that's a little funny.

[Syphon the Sun]

IHOP and Denny's are not interchangable and to insist otherwise is blatant blasphemy.

And there's nothing quite like a breakfast horshoe at 3am. Mmmmm.

[mr_thebrain]

as far as after bar drunken breakfasts are concerned, they most certainly are the same.

[Gravity Defier]

In the sense that you used the word, I'm a funny person. *shrug* I don't really drink, so I'll likely never go for that problem. I will, however, likely go because I just happen to be having a good time with other people who are having a good time and don't want the night to end and so will move to a restaurant to keep it going. Weirder s*** has happened.

[mr_thebrain]

perhaps the difference is that i'm from wisconsin and the only thing to do in wisconsin is to get drunk and eat food.

My friends call me at midnight to go to IHOP, does that count? I even go, most of the time, even though I am very very rarely not asleep by then.

Err, no. Unless you meant for you, in which case you'd have to tell me. I don't consider myself important enough to judge what counts for other people.

[elfprince13]

When my internet buddies notice I've gone missing and harass me to find out when I'm coming back. yay Alea!

[chromesthesia]

I love my hermit crabs, even though Calanthe, the big new guy PINCHED ME AND DREW BLOOD.
And I love books and Dir en grey and music.
Also butterflies and moths and other animals.

[VelvetElvis]

If we lived closer I woud totally call you for some IHOP action. (No Denny's here)

[Gravity Defier]

Whereas that totally counts.

*warm fuzzies from HBC and Elf*

[Eaquae Legit]

Yes, if you ever come visit (I'm only in Toronto now!), we will totally go out for late-night munchies. I love doing that.

[Gravity Defier]

It's a date. <3

[elfprince13]

I love making raspberry pie. And then eating it.

When a new OS installs smoothly, run smoothly, and seem to work better than the previous new OS.

And, by association, MSDN, for giving me Windows 7, legally and free.

And, by association, my high school networking teacher, who gave me an MSDN login four years ago and has either neglected to notice my account is still active or is just that awesome.

I've been running the Release Candidate for a while now. I hate to say it, but it's a Windows OS that is almost pleasant to use. I mean, 98 and XP were reasonably stable and bearable... But to actually find pleasure in the use of a Windows OS is not something I've ever experienced.
