Lovely Little Things

From scanning my past few postings, I realize that you may think that I am deeply depressed and dark—this, I am not. It just so happens that I have used this space to free the unmentionables, and you, my lovely readers, have been present to witness such occurrences. If you could see beyond these key strokes you would know that I am actually quite light, flirty and fun. I live hard. I laugh hard. I love harder. So today, I’ve made a list of twelve little things that I love. For they are the little things that move me so.

1. the smell of skin
2. lying naked underneath my warm, soft, faux fur blanket
3. sipping sweet southern brewed iced tea
4. touching the warm spaces of my lover’s body
5. listening to rain fall to the pavement in the midnight hour
6. two glasses of cranberry juice and vodka before a night of dancing and pure escapism
7. road trips with my favorite people and music
8. flirty exchanges coated with lust and the potential for danger
9. candles and Will Downing after a long and stressful day
10. the waves and sand beneath my feet
11. waking up to see the person that I love resting softly beside me
12. the passing of fear

Tell me, what is your favorite little thing?

Aaaahhhh! (long sigh)

I love sweet iced tea. Especially how my mom makes it...

And I love midnight rain...and cranberry and vodka.

I love insightful readings...
The smell after rain
Warm nights
Seeing my special someone
stepping out of hot showers
getting lost in my own world

my boy shorts... because they make my butt look so good

my tee-light candles because they warm the smell of my bedroom so sweet that I feel like I'm flying

my journal... because it allows me to reveal things I cant tell to anyone else

when you catch a fine brother admiring you and give a little smirk back

@ eb

I love candles--they make the world so much better. and when u catch the eye of a fine brother...well, sends tingles down the spine.

Not necessarily in order:

1. The first bite of sushi when I have four freshly rolled maki in front of me.

2. The feeling I have leaving my barber shop with a fresh cut.

3. Hearing my father's voice when he's seen one of my films on TV.

4. Getting caught in the rain in England. Hasn't happened in 12 years, but hey.

5. Writing, when I'm in the zone.

6. My lady's smile when she sees me emerge from the shower.

7. The moment the movie starts.

8. Smelling the freshness of the forest on a long walk.

9. Kissing my lady in the spot that excites her most, a spot that no one else but the two of us know.

10. Smiling when I woke up a few months ago, having for the first time dreamed of my daughter. My girlfriend's not pregnant, we're not married yet, and we're not going to have kids for years - but that little girl was as real to me as the words I'm seeing unfold on the screen as I type. It was one of the only moments in my life I've felt like I'd been directly touched by God.
OMG!!!!! You are sooooo in my head with this list. You are such the ultimate Virgo!
