that's a lot! first on my list would be still being able to think a little, i guess... can't come up with too much after that... well, except mrs. M, reading, bike-riding and chocolate...
ReplyDeleteHaha. A few things on my list are very little things, but they make me happy. Like not having to get up early.
DeleteMaybe your list can have little things like that.
Yeah, yeah ... copycat!
ReplyDeleteMy own will have only one item ... sex. As i haven't had any in quite some time. Good or bad won't matter. Beggars et al. ;)
DeleteHAHAHAHAHHAHAA.
DeleteYou didn't mention having online conversations with me!
ReplyDeleteAnd in any case, my rants against philistines are very bit as notable as Nabokov's. What I lack in articulacy and erudition, I make up for in terms of rage and intemperate rudeness.
Hahaha. Well.
DeleteI should have mentioned that.
