(no subject)

Stupid brain kept me up until roughly 2:30 this morning. The guys that the landlord hired to take care of replacing some siding and trim on the townhouse showed up at 7 AM. I know this for a fact because they started working on the section of the outside wall immediately behind my head, which was kind of hard to sleep through. Hooray!

I can't brain today, I have the dumb sleep dep.

M is for meme, that's good enough for me.

The gist of it is that someone gives you a letter and you list ten things you like that begin with that letter. The lovely and talented phinnia suggests the letter R for me, and here are ten things in almost no particular order.

1. Reading. Shocking, I know.


2. Road trips. My idea of a great weekend is loading up the iPod, hopping in the car, opening the sun roof, and taking off. Looks like my planned road trip this month is falling through, so I should figure out an alternative.


3. Red pandas. *squee*


4. Retro dresses. Not the "neon crap I wore the first time around in the 80s" type, I mean stuff styled like this. If it was practical and I was better shaped for it (i.e. had a waist), I would dress like this all the freakin' time. Yes, including the gloves.


5. Retail therapy. I like this rather more than I should, in fact.


6. Rescues. There are several people on my f-list who do a lot of work with abandoned and stray animals, and I don't think I say often enough how much I appreciate their work


7. Rovers, Martian. I am going to cry like a baby when Spirit and Opportunity finally give up.


8. Romance. My crunchy cynical outer shell is so thin as to be nonexistent at times.


9. Ryan Adams. More Whiskeytown - "Cold Roses"-era Ryan than the latest, I must admit. ("La Cienega Just Smiled") ("Let It Ride")


10. Reliance, self-. I tend towards a strange mixture of toddleresque "I wanna do it myself! Don't help me!" and "*flail* Auuuuugh!"; I like to think I manage well enough to take care of myself, and I usually do. Sometimes though...*flail*

Man, that took a long time. If anyone would like to play along, let me know in a comment.
