I think it is an inherent human trait to get attached to certain things in life that bring you a sense of comfort when things are not always ‘Sunny’ out in the big bad world. Here are some of mine.
‘The Sound of Music’ - I LUF THIS MOVIE! How can you not like the story of an almost nun who falls in love with a young dashing and widowed ex-military captain. The first time I saw It I was about 13 years old and, of course, I had an immediate crush on the oldest son Friedrich (who in the late 70’s went on to play Peter Parker in the TV Show Spiderman). Later as a young woman of 20, I loved the romance and the adventure, back then it was Maria and Captain Von Trapp! Now, as a grown woman, every time I see it I think of ways of charming Captain Von Trapp away from Maria (that sluty HO!…Get thee to the nunnery!) and making him fall madly in love with me. Yes baby! You can captain my ship anytime you want!! (I think I just made ’The Sound Of Music’ sound like a porn!)
Pens (and office supplies) - Whenever I get depressed about life or work or love….the first place I like to go to is Staples or Office Max. I love going down the isles and looking and picking out office supplies, especially pens. (Don’t judge me…you don’t know my life!) My love for pens is more of a ‘fetish’ and I am not sure why I like them so much. Freud would probably say the phallic symbolism of ‘pens’ means that I really want a (that which rhymes with ’enis’) in my hands instead. Well, when I get nervous I chew and bite the tips off my pens ……what do you say about THAT Freud?…..No, never mind I don‘t want to know!!
Starbucks - Nuff said!
600 Thread Count Sheets - Life is not worth living without the knowledge that at the end of a long and stressful day I get to slip between my 600 thread count sheets and feel the silky material smooth my day away. There are higher thread count sheets, but I can't afford them (and still be able to have multiple sets). However, I don't want to sound too snobbish but anything less than 300 thread count is just uncivilized! Unless you want to exfoliate your entire body...then I recommend 250 tc.
New Underwear - ‘Semper Ubi Sub Ubi’ (Always where under where). The first ‘dirty’ phrase my Latin teacher taught us. (3 years of Latin and all I got was this phrase and the ability to read the stained glass windows in Catholic Churches….Thanks High School Registration Staff!!!). I love the feel of brand new, freshly laundered pretty underwear and if it doesn’t go UP my ass…ALL the better. I have tried all kinds of knickers and in my research I have found that I am not a thong wearing type of girl (some things should not be made over certain sizes). At the insistence of one of my close friends I purchased a very cute pair and tried wearing them for a day. Since it was a busy day for me, I had forgotten that I had them on until I realized how nervous and anxious I had been the whole day. It wasn‘t so much my busy schedule as the thong up my rear. I threw them away as soon as I got home and surprisingly enough….began to relax.
Book Markers - I am an avid reader. I usually have 2 or 3 books started at once. So, I NEED a multitude of book markers to assist me with my ‘tracking‘. Most of my markers have some sort of inspirational sayings by Shakespeare, Gandhi, Maya Angelou etc… However, one of my favorites is one that my niece gave me that says: ‘Life is a BITCH, but if it was easy it would be a HO!”…..Too true!
So you see…not too scandalous (not unless you want to count the Captain Von Trapp fantasies), a little odd maybe, but when it comes down to it, if I have ever given you a pen, a move, a coffee cup or a book marker or invited you to sleep in my bed…you know I really, really like you.
