Things I Like

I found some crumpled pieces of paper amongst the belongings I brought back from America. After smoothing out the wrinkles, I saw that I had compiled a list, and suddenly a faded memory of sitting at my desk at work one day, writing things down that I liked because I kept forgetting what I did like... and it felt like I was forgetting myself.

EDIT: Before you throw up while reading this, scroll down to see my thoughts.

Things I Like

(in order of how I wrote it down at the time)

Banksy's art, Dali, Picasso, Monet, Gogh

Big windows
Coke Cola (not anymore, I'm trying to resist it)

Notepads
Uniball Vision Elite Pens (Yes. I did actually write this. My favourite kind of pen, so much ink...)
Tattoos

Well, if that wasn't a big pile of adolescent crap, I don't know what is. It started out kind of sincere and then I think I became self-conscious of the list-making and over-thought it. Blargh.
