  1. I would like all of those things on your 'to keep' list. Though I don't have them all at the moment.

    I would like high ceilings, sunny days, picnics with books, unspoken conversation, movies in bed, a mixture of old and new and I'll restate the visiting friends who live far away.

    I would like to remove awful drama, mixed emotions, sunburn(!)

  5. keep: Amazing friends, random IM conversations, that little Korean girl who makes funny faces at me each morning so I will laugh, dark but not depressing books before bed, Calvin and Hobbes, leaves against a background of blue skies, Taylor Swift, Lifehouse, Oldies music, distressed cut-off shorts, tea sets, pretty libraries, Kit Kats, ice skating, piano keys that are cool to the touch in summer, people....

    Things I would be happier without: yelling, being confused, not knowing if other people know stuff about you that you don't, 115 degree weather, school, pencils that break easily, being interrupted at the good part of a book, soy milk that goes bad just as you really need a glass, people..
