Compiling a list for me is like laying out a formal garden in the rubbishy wilderness of my mind.

favorite sensations:
-orgasm (duh)
-standing in a hot, steamy shower, the water streaming over me
-fingertips lightly stroking my skin
-getting my hair washed and head massaged
-wind in my hair on a cloudy night
-my veins through my skin and the blood pumping through them
-beach sand squishing between my toes
-opening a new book
-crawling into bed on a cold night and curling up in blankets and pillows
-running
-stepping into a crowd of dancing people, closing my eyes, and feeling the hard pulsing beat of the music deep inside
-laughing so hard I think I’m going to pee my pants
-finally being able to pee after holding it for ages
-kissing a boy with warm, sweet lips
-the very first time, that very first second when he slips inside me
-that soft silky fabric that you find around blankets—I love rubbing it together between my fingers
-rubbing a shaved head
-biting into a reese’s peanut butter cup
-crying

this was fun, thinking about sensations that I love. You should try it. Just sit down, close your eyes and think of all the things that you love to taste and feel and touch and hear and experience. This list of mine is small and there are zillions of other things that I could add, but it’s a good little exercise. The suggestion for this list came from an email from someone, so I thank them.

I don’t think I am nearly as materialistic as this list makes me seem. but then again, I could be. I have no idea. I just want stuff. but I’m not going crazy because I don’t have it. so that makes me...materialistic but poor I guess. jeez. loafe is suppose to make me feel GOOD, especially my lists! jeez!

things I bought at trader joe’s tonight:
-water
-kettle corn (sweet and salty popcorn all mixed in one painfully delicious combination)
-tortilla chips
-chocolate meringue cookies (I cry when I eat these because they are so frigging good and four of them are only 100 calories and did i mention they make me cry?)
-puffin cinnamon corn cereal (it’s free of wheat and dairy and animal products and it’s kosher and there’s no hydrogenated oils or trans fat and they are high in fiber and they’re so healthy for you that they should be illegal)

I love trader joe’s. It’s a grand grand place. I bought the puffin cereal for a few reasons. First of all, it’s healthy. Second, I love cinnamon. But mostly I bought it cause I think that the word "puffin" is probably one of the cutest words in the entire history of the world and also puffins themselves are probably one of the cutest things in the entire history of the world. And on the back of the box, it says you can buy this little puffins shopping bag for ten dollars, and it has a picture of a puffin on it and it’s very very cute. I want to eat a puffin (but only cause they’re cute not because I want to actually EAT a puffin). Go on, say the word "puffin" and tell me that’s not fucking cute.

this isn’t set in stone or anything but every little bit helps. you know, maybe I’m too picky. maybe that’s why I’m COMPLETELY ALONE. Actually, that isn’t true. we all know why I’m COMPLETELY ALONE and it certainly isn’t because I’m picky.

boys I’ve had sex with:
-none, I’m a virgin!

hahahaha. ha. hahaha. (that laughter means I’m not a virgin and also that I’m not about to friggin’ list the boys I’ve had sex with, although I do have such a list and that list is divided up into boys I’ve had sex with that involved penetration and boys that I’ve done sexual things with that did not involve penetration, and it only includes boys, no girls, and it doesn’t include any forced or unwanted sexual situations)
