I guess there are a few things you should know about me. I'm forgoing the classical paragraph writing for list form. The reason is very simple. I *heart* list-making. So hold on to your hats....
THINGS I LIKE
1) Music: In the words of a cheesy, Depeche Mode song, I just can't get enough. And here's the reasoning behind it: There's a song for every occasion. Love found. Love lost. Love found, then lost, then found again. Rollin' with your homies. Drinking gin and juice. Rehab. Learn how to spell G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S. Shake it like a polaroid picture. Make milkshakes that bring all the boys to the yard....
You can find it all in a song. As unique as a song is to the person that's singing it or writing it, it's unique to you for all the reasons you identify with it. And there's just something about that fact I truly enjoy.
2) Growlers: Microbrews in a me-size container. True ingenuity and freshness in a bottle, at a tasty and affordable cost. Quite honestly, there's only so much Apricot Wheat a person can drink anyway, and growlers just might be the perfect Baby Bear size for sampling all of life's fermented flavors.
3) Deee-licious foods and food-making: It wasn't until recently that I decided that I enjoyed cooking. Most of it stems from being spoiled by a doting and amazing mother who loved to cook good, homestyle, authentic foods, Asian and otherwise -- and you can't get goodness like that (not where I live, at least) unless you make it yourself.
4) Letter-writing, slideshows and mix cds: Some might find it adorable. Others might find me a bumbling sap. Bottom line is I only know how be me, and I look forward to occasions where I can sit down and write a nice letter and/or make a toe-tapping mix or even a slideshow for someone; I like the sincerity of these activities.
5) Friends and travel: Friends and travel seem to go hand-in-hand, particularly when you're an active member of the fun-centric ultimate community. They end up finding each other like Britney Spears to the cuckoo's nest, and while I can't say that I'm so happy for Britney (or Kfed and the kids), I'm happy for my friends and the opportunities that arise to travel and hang LOOSE with them. At the end of March, I'll be traveling to Joshua Tree National Park with some of my best buds from the ol' alma mater, Penn State. All I can say is OMGY!!! I have no doubt that it'll rival the RV roadtrip of 2003, and there's little doubt that you'll be hearing about all the hijinks and mountain pies as well.
6) Other things I *heart*, needing no further explanation: Scratch-off lottery tix, cuddling, cheese (the edible and figurative sort), coffee, 80s movies starring John Cusack, graphic t's, Megatouch, and fried chicken....
More recently: Winning free breakfasts by spectating Mario Kart races (a sport of the 32-bit SNES variety), Guitar Hero, Vonnegut and Marquez, 3-chord guitar songs, singing in the shower, and dinner club.
There are very few things I don't like. Though, two things that continually top the list are presumption and pretension. They're like stink on shit -- and I don't like 'em. Anyway, I try to stay clear of the stinky McStinkertons that pass through every once in while. It's much nicer to smell so fresh and so clean (even if it takes a whole bar of soap to get that way).
The only problem with list-making is that I have no conclusionary paragraph to offer. I've simply run out of introductory things to say. Sorry for the abrupt nature of this ending, but that's it for now.
Cheers.

Shelley Su, I like your explanation of the relationship between hipster and indie music- very emo but very savvy. Keep up the good work, and perhaps suggest a 12 song mixtape for your adoring fans to download in your next post.
Not to worry Court. This blog will be all about the mixes! :) More very soon.
