5 Things

I was perusing Ruth's blog and I loved this idea: “List 5 things that certain people (who are not deserving of being your friend anyway) may consider to be “totally lame,” but you are, despite the possible stigma, totally proud of. Own it.”

So, here are my 5 things (in no particular order):

1. My love for my cat. Yes, he's fat. And he howls, not meows, howls. And he gets litter and fur everywhere. He's adorably needy and cuddly and he follows me around everywhere and I love that! He's basically my bff. Sorry Jill.

2. Social networking sites. I spend waaaay too much time on these, but now that there's Scramble and Scrabulous and Word Twist I can challenge my brain and forgo the need to ever leave my desk. And I stalk people. Whatevs, like you don't.

3. My fam. I guess this isn't so lame, but I always just assumed everyone really loved and was very close to their families, but that's not the case. I talk to at least one family member a day. And I look forward to it! I spend my vacation time visiting my family. They are hilarious (well, most of them) and supportive and like to spend money on me (well, most of them).

4. Bad reality TV. The lower the budget, the better. I secretly watch Keeping up with the Kardashians, The Hills, Hogan Knows Best, The Real Desperate Housewives of Orange County, and now I'm ashamedly getting into The Real Desperate Housewives of NY. I wish to goodness Kathy Griffin's D List would come back on TV. That's good shit.

5. Writing letters. Who doesn't love to get some snail mail? I started writing letters when I went away to college and it tapped into my (shrunken) creative side. I decorate them with stickers and colored pens. Wow, I'm getting embarrassed just typing this! Believe you me, if you've been so lucky as to get one of my letters they do make you smile.
