aprilstarchildFirst, the semi-serious things:
*My family. I don't alway get along perfectly with them, but I know they love me, and that I will never be homeless or starving as long as I have them. I will always have a home to come back to.
*My friends that are like my second family. There are far too many of you to name.
*More specifically, my friends who have talked me through some the crappier times of my life, offering a fresh perspective and patient ears whenever I've needed them. You guys know who you are.
*EarthenGrove. I don't think I could ask for a better coven. Well, I could, but I wouldn't get one. *lol*
*Being vegan. I know that sounds odd, but being vegan gives me a feeling of being in right relationship with the world.
*My LiveJournal. I'd go crazy without it. It's a place to vent, a place to think "out loud," a place to meet new people (waves to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ourglasslake and jameslentz in particular), to be silly. It's a place to hang out with people of like minds (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
veganpeople, anyone? Or harrydraco, for that matter) and catch up with what my friends are doing and thinking.
*My job--I mean, yeah; I have great coworkers and the work itself isn't horrible, but it's good to be employed.
*Adderall, aka Attention Span in Pill Form.
*Aurora chorus. Learning that I can indeed sing, and mixing my voices with so many other supportive awesome women, and doing it in public where people paid to see it and enjoyed it, was good for my soul.
Not-so-serious stuff:
Tri-met. Thank gods I don't have to have a car. Actually, considering what a crappy driver I was, you should be thankful for this, too.
Soymilk
Good vegan cookbooks
Living near Portland, which makes being vegan far easier than it would be otherwise.
Blenders
Contraceptives
Knitting
Harry Potter, both books and movies
Fandom in general
Slash!
Digital cameras
Dark chocolate
KNRK
Being legal to drink
Lush
Having my first girlfriend this year--no, seriously. *lol* All in all, it was a good experience and totally worth it.
Hecate's Sickle and the Aphrodite Shrine
Cookies
Edamame
Garlic
Pasta (I need to stop listing food or I'll be here all day)
Allegra--I wanna pet the kitties!
Noir and the Fez and now Embers
Tequila, gin, vodka...
Red Bull!!
Dance Dance Revolution
Woo I'll probably think of more stuff later, but these are what came to mind.
