My list (so far): Ed Hardy. Child beauty pageants. The Beatles. Dane Cook. Those stickers on rear car windows that show a stick figure family. ---

Chic fil a. Everyone was doing the whole “I can’t wait their sandwiches are so awesome” thing when a franchise opened in my town. I’ve eaten there two times and have been extremely underwhelmed. I enjoy a good fast-food sandwich as much as anyone, but Chick fil a just doesn’t do it for me. ---

> [@Sleeps\_With\_Butterflies](#): > > \*The Princess Bride > \*Tom Waits > coffee > Terry Pratchett I say this with all due respect: We could never be friends. I do understand that there’s no accounting for taste, but those are 4 of my favorite pleasures. I think “rock bottom” is overrated. IME life rarely turns on a dime, and too many people avoid fixing their life because they are waiting around to hit rock bottom. The human capacity to sink ever lower is pretty much endless. ---

Restaurant food. It’s a rare and expensive restaurant that serves food which excites me. Luxury yarn. Knitters will understand me. I’ve found expensive boutique yarn to be the least satisfying to work with, nine times out of ten. Hotels. I’m hoping that Four Seasons is the mythical luxurious hotel with super-comfortable beds and soft, fluffy towels, and that I stay at one someday… because I’ve never stayed at a hotel that was anything but an inconvenient convenience. ---
