It's a Love / Hate relationship.

Well this is my first ever blog post. I have no idea what to write.

So, I will simply put in something I have been working on for a while.
Toward the end of last summer I started thinking about the meaning behind the words love and hate, and how often we use them. So, just as a little experiment, anytime I thought to myself "I love that" or "I hate this", I would try to remember to jot it down. I've done it on and off for the last 9 or 10 months and here's the list I've come up with so far.

Things I love:
1) When Tony sings "You Are My Sunshine" to me before I go to sleep.
2) Saturday morning breakfasts.
3) When Paul Johnson sings.
4) Driving on the interstate with the windows down.
5) Blueberry scones.
6) Occasions where I can dress up.
7) The fall.
8) People watching
9) Fresh Clementines.
10) Sitting next to/in a river.
11) Stupid Laffy Taffy jokes.
12) Driving down huge hills in neutral.
13) Catching up with old friends.
14) Meteor showers.
15) Sour apple gummi rings.
16) LOST
17) Walking in the pouring rain.
18) Driving places I have never been.
19) Taking photographs of people
20) When someone you haven't heard from in a while calls you up just to chat.
21) Swedish Fish.
22) Warm spring mornings.
23) The Fray.
24) Camping.
25) The smell of summer.
26) Waterfalls.
27) Mr. Echo.
28) Spontaneous road trips.
29) New Years Eve.
30) Having my dog wake me up in the morning.
31) Fido coffee dates with Paul.
32) Skype dates.
33) Jason's Deli.
34) Jack Freakin Wilson
35) Waking up to text messages.
36) The smell of fresh baked bread.
37) The smell of rain.
38) When it snows really hard.

Things I hate:

1) Being talked down to.
2) When people make up stuff to make it seem like they know what they are talking about.
3) Being under-appreciated.
4) Foot blisters.
5) Body odor.
6) Apathy.
7) People that think they are good enough to cover a Michael Jackson or Beatles song.
8) When people don't use blinkers.
9) Allergies.
10) People that form an opinion just so they have one.
11) Going to the movies in huge groups of people.
12) The hiccups.


I guess I'm a lover, not a hater?

Will blogging end up on one of these lists? Who knows.
