Things I Don't Hate

A list of things I love, outside of the obvious of Girlfriend, Family, and Friends.

Because sometimes it's nice to reflect on things.

LIST OF THINGS RACHAEL LOVES 

Japanese ice ball - primarily for Scotch I believe

1. When people use "fancy" words. I am quite the erudite (eh eh), so when I hear people use words like "impetus", "sensual", "remiss", and "jocund" my heart beats faster and I feel inadequate. No, I don't see this as a horrible thing. I am mostly jealous because of the difficulty I have saying most words. I go for simple elementary synonymous words. Such as it is.
   
2. Ice. I love pictures of freezing weather; it is harsh but delicate. The way it reflects, melts, the different textures. Water in all states is really quite bewildering.
   
3. Synonyms. I should have done this first, but too late. I need to make a big poster of synonyms I enjoy. I was going to use "amazing" on numero dos, but found bewildering a much better choice for this.
   
4. Fox fur. Vintage, because I can't get behind killing animals that have a place on this world. What would we do with old fur that isn't being worn? Burn it? Bury it? Isn't it more economical to wear it? I think so. I like fox fur for only one reason: because it looks so damn good on me. I own none as of right now, so sheath your bucket of blood red paint.
   
5. Furry blankets. I suppose this goes with 4, but it needs to be said. I sleep much better with my blanket of fake fur. It isn't even fox colored. It probably emulates some hidden grasp my brain has to my childhood. The gripping a teddy bear when you sleep, trying to wrap yourself into its warm stuffing.
   
6. Proteus, my fish. I want to post a picture but am unsure of the location of my camera. It has been a long while since I got him so it's about high time he makes an appearance. As do Ani and Zelda, my dogs. But it'll have to wait. I should mention that I also love my dogs, but I think everyone knows that.
   I love to lay in bed and watch Proteus move around his plants and through his cave. It is a silent water dance. He is a good fish.  
   
7. Lotion and water. Keep the skin taut and age naught! Or something.
   
8. My car. I actually hate my car so much for the money I have to put into it, but we've gone through a lot. Right now he badly needs to be washed, inside and out. I have been making a habit of leaving my refuse during school in there. It's disgusting.
   
9. The amber on school bus lights. I really just love the word amber. It makes me think of prehistoric insects stuck in sap, misty humid jungles, and distant roaring of beasts.
   
10. The smell of old jewelry.
