Another List.

Inspired by my biggest sister.
Things I am loving.
Because love is cool.
I love:
- how laundry day gives you leave to wear totally weird and great outfits that no one sees except your room mate's cats.
- new tattoos of Peter Pan kisses As done by a new and interesting friend who sends you Gillian Welch music because you both love her.
- A million new snow drops and crocus' that i swear weren't there yesterday.
- Red Wind, by my old friend Sabrina, who is an amazing and beautiful and lovely person with a heart of gold and head full of smarts.
- New haircuts.
- The nicest Valentine in the whole world as given to me by this young man.
- Son of Rambow.

- encouragement.
- New nail polish colors.
- The Niche Market just two blocks away. FULL of German products, including Das Duche and every flavour of rittersport (minus the peanut). I don't love that it doesn't carry Club Mate
- Bob Dylan. For sure.
- How google maps has turned some cities into wonderlands for the computer traveller. I can't make a link, but go to rome and zoom in, and look around. it's like you're there, but you're not eating gelato, or smelling the sunshine, or drinking the world's greatest cappuccino.
- There's this graffiti on Broadway that says: Your dumb. It's hilarious.
- Making Canadian pizza for the boys at work.
- Reading Roald Dahl again. The BFG is so funny.
- Stopping making silly lists, even though they could go on and on, but I want to make a banner for my front window. It's going to say: "It's just a mountain, I can move it" If you don't get it, your dumb.

A List

These are things I am romanticizing about Berlin:
1. Waking up to the sound of Ben shuffling cards in the kitchen, the smell of coffee, and The Cavesingers.
2. The Canal at anytime of the year, at anytime of the day. Especially between the bridges of Alexandrinenstrasse and Prinzenstrasse.
3. Sitting on the steps at Gendarmenmarkt watching tourists taking pictures and children chasing pigeons.
4. Shoe shops.
5. Turkish market.
6. 90 cent scoops of gelato
7. Lying in the grass at Teirgarten.
8. Martika.
9. Shopping and laughing with Kendra.
10. Bike Paths.
11. Bonanza Coffee Heroes.
12. Delores.
13. COS!
14. Feeling proud about successfully ordering a cup of coffee in German.
15. Writing in my journal everyday.
16. Chili ahorn.
17. An adventure that's just a train ride away.
