ABCs of love.

a list of things from A-Z that make life wonderful.


A astrology - i know it's not for everyone, and i do agree that much of it is a load of bs, but it's always worked out pretty well for me, and i am VERY MUCH a scorpio.

B bats – the guardian of the night. my good luck charm - http://www.whats-your-sign.com/animal-symbolism-bat.html
boba “bubble” tea – delicious and full of tapioca bubbles! need i say more?

C curry, curry powder – my absolute favorite smell, i wish i could carry it with me always.

D dancing – certainly something i don't get to do enough, moving my body to something with a good beat just makes me feel more alive.
dirt – especially moist dirt. The smell of rain, the smell of gardening, the smell of life.

E elephants – another good luck charm, ganesha, the hindu god of luck, fortune and protection, and the buddhist lucky elephant. elephants symbolize: happiness, longevity, good luck, royalty, dignity, and reliability.

F frozen grapes – so delicious and fun, like miniature popsicles!
foxes – one of my totem animals; from
www.whats-your-sign.com :
“In China, fox animal symbolism revolved around the afterlife. Lore has it that a fox sighting was thought to be a signal from the spirits of the deceased.
Fox animal symbolism takes a turn of intelligence in the Celtic realm, as the Celts believed the fox to be a guide, and was honored for its wisdom. The Celts understood the fox knows the woods intimately, and they would rely upon the fox as their guide in the spirit world.
In Japan, the fox was considered one of the rain spirits, and a messenger of Inari the rice god. Here the fox also symbolizes longevity and protection from evil.
In Native American lore, fox animal symbolism deals with two interpretations. One perspective (Northern tribes) observes the fox as a wise and noble messenger. The other (Plains tribes) views the fox as a trickster playing pranks, or worse - luring one to demise.”

G gala darling – i've been reading her blog for quite some time now, in unfaltering awe of her fabulousity. recently, after coming to some great epiphanies, i was reading her blog one afternoon and suddenly thought “wait – who says i can't do this?” and here i am.

H hummus! - especially with bell peppers and pitas!

I ian kaser – i'm just going to go out there and say it, he's one of my best friends. i honestly adore this man, and i'm not sure i'll ever get sick of him.
imagination – what better way to create your own happiness, and fester belief, and inspiration in others?

J jello – sweet, colorful and JIGGLY!!!!
jagermeister – smooth, warming, german, licorice-y, and all around incredible.

K kisses – admit it, kisses are just great. +10 points if coming from a puppy, or an especially cute boy.

L love – “it took us so long to realize that a purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”
- kurt vonnegut.
love is my religion.

M molly jones – i love this dog more than words can describe.
modest mouse - this band just feeds my soul.

N nomming, the action and the term. “molly! Come eat your noms!” *nom nom nom nom* probably one of the best things to come out of the internet.

O octopi – another totem animal, a few things they symbolize:
psyche, emotion, intuition, creativity, flexibility, illusion, mystery, reason, complexity, diversity, intelligence
(the) ocean – “the ocean is my spirit and my soul, without it I am lost.” a soul cleanser.

P popcorn – not something i eat often, but when i crave popcorn, i crave it hard. i think i might go make some now.
pumpkin pie – i know it's mid-summer, but i keep thinking about making one. pumpkin pie is just too delicious to be seasonal.
patchouli – call me a crazy hippy if you must, but i absolutely adore this scent.

Q quails - quite beautiful birds.

R reggae – a music genre i could not live without, by far the best shower music, and some of the most fun live shows.

S soy ice cream - coffee flavored! or really, any flavor – a life saver for the lactose intolerant!
spraypainting things silver – the shinier the better!

T tacos – i could eat tacos daily.
tecate – cheap, delicious mexican beer.

U ugg boots – i don't care how “ugg-ly” they are, they're so super comfy!

V vegetables – what can i say? mm mmm good!
