The smell of new cars
They smell rich and luxurious, and oh-so-fulfilling. Literally breathing in newness. Getting into a new car and just soaking in the interior, running my fingers over the many textures; the hard wood panels and soft pores of the leather seats. I feel like technology doesn't have to be all steel and power - it can be comfort and protection, an eggshell exterior for us to melt into the interior.
Tiny lime green butterflies
Not just butterflies but tiny lime green ones. Plain lime green, no patterns, no special designs, just a simple, minty fresh goodness with wings. I used to see many of these every morning while walking to school and they weren't the type of butterfly that flew away when someone came near. They just kept fluttering around, doing their thing. Carefree, careless. Yeah, so there are many colours of butterflies; red, yellow, vermillions-of-colors. But tiny lime green butterflies represent so much more if you think about it. Hope, healing, growth, courage, energy, freedom and a fun freakishness. I love that.
Edamame
Green beans. Edible. Doesn't taste like onions. Crunchy without crunch, chewy without being gummy. Yum.
My gold beanbag
The ultimate in slacker technology. I like slinking into it and just laze. It's like having a piece of furniture that is moulded to fit the user perfectly - no matter who the user. It's gold and snazzy so when I'm not using it, it's like a big chunk of gold sitting right there in my room. I'll never be rich, but I sure as hell like to feel rich.
Being right
Because I like to say "I told you so."
The End of The Affair by Graham Greene
Officially the only book about love and human relationships that is not about love and human relationships. It's a book about hate, jealousy, God, death, possession. I like that it questions our meaningless, insignificant existence. I like that it scrutinizes the complexities of conflicting emotions, the paradox of wanting to choose two directions until we get lost in between. I like that it shows irony playing such a big roles in our lives. Graham Greene is a genius. Twisted, shattered, dark, insightful, and tragic... But still a genius.
Soap and shampoo that smell like fruits
Because nothing is better than feeling as delicious as strawberries, mangoes, peaches, apples and apricots. Who needs to be hot when you could just be juicy?
Having pens of every color
Black and blue are too dull, too boring. I like writing in multicolor. Orange headers, yellow subtext, pink sidenotes. I like that I can find what I want to read easily. I like that if I stare at my notes without reading, it starts to resemble abstract art in linear lines. I can phase out with a visualization of color instead of dull black blue.
My MX 518 mouse
Comfortable, fast, slides around smoothly, has extra buttons, velvety to the touch and has a semi-hourglass shape, sensitive easy clicks that react almost attentively under my fingertips. It just seems sexy... somehow.
Cheetahs
I like their speed and vulnerability. Sheer graceful velocity but at the end of the day, their survival is doomed on the fact that their light build for running makes them easy targets for enemies. Just shows that if you can run and do that well, having a talent like that just makes you a slave to it. I like paradoxes like that.
