Like, I am looking forward to making myself a nice, egg bagel with cheese tomorrow.

A little thing that I like is old sitcoms. They make me heartily laugh and feel good, especially Family Matters. Another thing is the feeling of reading a hardcover book next to a cozy fire.

Summer. Just ... Summer. No school, no homework, no worries! Just sleeping in, getting buff and tan, and enjoying airconditioning.

I appreciate electricity. Mine went out for a little while at about 10pm. I hate not having power.

The small grains of Milo at the top of a freshly opened tin.

Delicious.

Reading while taking a dump.


this isn't even a little thing, this is a fundamental human right that no man or government can infringe on. i'm pretty sure it's an amendment to the Bill of Rights, actually.

i really like chilling in the pool in the late afternoon, not swimming or anything, just listening to the sound of traffic from up the road mingling with the sound of my neighbors' air conditioners. it's not something i get to enjoy all that often, usually because of noisy kids or people arguing or whatever, but when i am able to it's always so nice, especially if somebody's cutting their lawn with a good lawnmower.

i also really like the sound of heavy construction from a distance just after it's rained, with trucks beeping and jackhammers jackhammering and all of it blending together into this constantly-evolving soundscape, bouncing off wet asphalt and wet trees and wet grass.

I like it when I look at my bank account and actually have more than I thought I did. :P Doesn't happen that often unfortunately.
I also like taking off the foil top on a new bottle of milk, and having to wash my ears with cotton wool balls when I dye my hair so as to avoid dying them too.

This goes against God!.
Why do you think He made rabbits procreate like they do?

Bunny rabbits are the true toilet paper! What other purpose could they possibly have?
Man and his inventions. Tsk tsk.

Have fun wiping your bottom with paper... in Hell!!!!!!!


And no, before you ask, I do not flush rabbits down the toilet. That would be wrong. The dishwasher cleans them up pretty well.


Oi whiskey... what did you make me type...

Egg yolks. Nothing says "Breakfast" like dipping [insert your choice of buttered toast, fried bread, potato waffle, hash brown, sausage, whatever, here] into a cooked but still runny yolk.

Eggs over easy + buttered toast = nearly orgism.

Actually, the only time I ever read is when I'm taking a dump. Occasionally, I will extend my dump if I'm actually interested in what I'm reading, because I know that the instant I finish my dump, I must cease all reading. Such is the way of life.

:P School must have been an interesting experience. (Sorry I just had to point out the finality of this statement).

For me a small thing I appreciate would be ice cubes. Who cares if it thins out your drink a little, having a large mug full of ice cubes and a few liters of soda to re-fill the mug simply rocks.

DVD players. Just think of how much more of our lives would have been wasted had they not been invented - all that waiting around for VHS tapes to rewind...

Unexpectedly finding a waterfall. OK so waterfalls are usually accepted as being quite big, but I always get excited when finding one while out walking. Mild disappointment normally follows, when it is revealed that it doesn't have a cave behind it stuffed full of Anglo-Saxon treasure.

I also like it when wasps leave the room when you ask them to.

Actually, I should clarify, because technically I'm reading right now. The only time I ever read books/magazines/newpapers/etc, is when I'm taking a dump. Whenever I was supposed to be reading during school, I would sleep.

The weekly "fire-pro wrestling" evening i have with my brother, it's an old wrestling game on ps2 we've been playing for years, it seems to have become somewhat of a ritual, a time for us to talk, eat junk food and catch up on stuff, while flying off the top rope :)

I also love travel documentaries, i really look forward to those.

A hot shower. I went 6 days on a boat with only a 6:30am jump in the sea to wash me off, so now I appreciate every lovely hot shower I have. Also socks. I must be the only person in the world who would be pleased to get socks as a present :D

1. A nice hot cup of tea with milk and sugar.

2. Toast with butter and jelly.

3. That feeling of clean you get after taking a nice long bath with lots of soap and bubbles and shampoo.

4. The simple pleasure I get from the http://www.hongfire.com/cg/data/25/caramelldansen.swf, from http://digilander.libero.it/goku04online/slayers%20002.jpg, and from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urnUYQt-9bc.

That there are computer games out there that allow you to experiment, set your own rules, play how you want and explore to your hearts content.

Reading a Ranger's Apprentice book, and taking a walk around my house without the fear of being shot by paintball guns and knowing that, that person is on parol for doing that to me. And everytime I think
of that, I say: "GET PWNT CRIMINAL SCUM!". Thats what I enjoy. Is that too big?
