Things that remind me why I'm glad to be alive

[suspectclass]

Poetry, particularly Anna Ahkmatova and Osip Mandelstam at the moment.
Flowers, even dying and sad ones.
The picture on my desk of me at Valaam in Russia.
Good music.
Thinking about living in Germany.
Connie & Lauren, separately and together.
The friends I've had for ten years that I'm still in touch with.
Ben Harper and Sinead O'Connor singing about God.
My bed.
Being warm.
Knowing I'll fall in deep love again, if I can just be patient.
Skeefe.
Puppies.
iTunes.

Disturbing dream last night. You and I were watching Lilo&Stitch in James' house, and he walked in with Nick and a few kids from his church group. Awkwardness ensued. We left, I woke up.

Furthermore, why am I placed inbetween love and puppies? I want to be in no way associated with either! It will damage my reputation.

And then I dreamed I was running a newspaper for the Chicago airport. Oh. my. goodness.
