simple pleasures a challenge from seeking4hope
Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick ten people to do the same.
Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.
10 simple pleasures (in no particular order):
1) adult swim on cartoon network. since i moved i have had about 2 or 3 hours a week i can actually spend on tv and i chose to spend it on family guy, oblongs, futurama, boondocks, robot chicken, venture brothers and harvey birdman.
2) my iPod. sometimes having is every bit as great as the wanting that not having built up.
3) actually being able to help someone at work. whether it's making a customer feel like i'm the first person to actually listen to their problem or pointing a co-worker in a direction they never thought of, it feels damn good.
4) eddie izzard. he's funny and has a beautiful voice. besides the fact that i find funny sexy, he actually thought about what he was saying before he made a comedic routine out of it. he's smart and makes you think while you slide onto the floor with laughter.
5) having my kitten try to trip me every night i come home because he missed me so much he can't stand to be in a different part of our 490 square foot apartment.
6) sketching with sharp colored pencils.
7) text messaging. some people think it's pointless and stupid but i have been able to keep in touch with a lot of people that would otherwise have been lost. sometimes it's easier to type out a 320 letter message than it is to hold a 5 minute conversation... and not everyone has the net.
8) the lemony snicket and harry potter series. they may be targeted at kids but they are some of the most well written books i have ever come across and i love sitting down to read and re-read them all.
9) getting up an hour early to go swimming alone before work.
10) new friends that pull you in so fast you feel like you've known them forever.
now, let's see what makes my friends happy...
