Swimming in deep pools and long, hot baths in a large tub with my head underwater. That’s the closest I’ll ever get to unaided flying and being back in the womb, respectively. Shaving. Has to be a safety razor; I cannot stand electrics. Cold weather. I live in Florida, so that wish is rarely satisfied ('course, I expect this winter to be colder than normal, like last year’s. Hehehe.). ---

Hmmm…I’m addicted to Muppet movies, J.T.'s Blocks on Yahoo games, Ebay, ice cream, and…Sappo! 😃 ---

**Pepsi.** Morning, noon, and night. (This is going to suck when I move to the **Land of Coke** in March.) **The SDMB.** (What else do I have to do at work?) 😃 **Ben and Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk.** No other kind, thank you. **Music.** I have to have music playing at work, all day. And I don’t really watch tv at night, as it interrupts my record-playing time. **The Steak and Cheese hoagie** at the **Mellow Mushroom**. It just doesn’t get any better than this. (And yes, Philly people, we have an authentic Philly-trained hoagie man.) **Newcastle Brown Ale.** Only one requirement. It must be on tap. None of that bottled crap for me, thank you very much. Combine it with the steak and cheese hoagie, and you have the perfect meal. Oh, and **pancakes**. With butter and lots of syrup. ---

**Music** - Specifically PLACEBO! Mmmmmm…Yeah… Could listen and look at them all day… **Books** - Lovely pages of words…mmmmm… **Friends** - How could I live without talking? (Oh, many, many people know about that. Poor things. 🙂 ) **LiveJournal** - Just in case no one is talking to me at the moment, I write down my thoughts. And 2/3 of the stuff going on in my brain doesn’t even make it. My brain should probably explode to save itself. 😃 **Disneyland** and **Knott’s Berry Farm** - I could just kiss the wonderful men who thought up these ideas. (Well, not really, but you know…) I’m sure I will think of more; it is just a matter of coming back here to post them. 🙂 ---
