i love the sound of hot water pouring over tea bags.
It's such an odd combination of crackling, flickering, paper, pouring, bubbling, i can't describe it. And the smells, oh! The smells! Especially my vanilla tea. I enjoy the smells of tea, and the ritual of preparing and pouring and stirring and curling my fingers around the warmth of a smoothly crafted mug and handle while I wait for it to cool, even more than the taste and consumption of the drink itself. |

TIMING is one of the most important elements. More important than words or intentions. I have to get better at that. |

Happy birthday, Allison!!
24 is a wonderfully round number, I love it. 2x12, 3x8, 4x6, so many even numbers. Number of hours in the day, and two dozens,
I hope you have a wonderful, exciting day full of friends; love you!! |

I'm sorry for being so MIA in recent..months.. It's all for good reasons, as in I've been really busy, exploring, absolutely loving this city and my dozens of housemates. And, also in good news, I very rarely get on the computer anymore, and it doesn't sit there sucking away all my time. I like this life--outside, with people, going places and doing things or sitting on the Chesterfields (couches) and just talking all night long--so so so much. I love walking everywhere, and standing outside while other people have smoking breaks, just so I can feel the fresh breezes on the street and have company to talk to in the cold night air. And not sitting hunched over this machine.
I have so much to tell you my friends, but it must wait a little longer.
I miss all of you! |

EDIT: This is inaccurate information. Mistake! Palin attempted to ban some books, but this is I believe a list of the most commonly banned books in America. So, disturbing that these are commonly banned books. But not so disturbing for her, since she just didn't get around to banning them herself...
Thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) tammypierce
This is the most disturbing piece of information I've seen on Palin yet, and that's saying a lot.
