The cold air that greets you as you walk out of Heathrow’s Terminal 5
Singing sad songs with your friends
Cheering on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
The smell of freshly cut grass
The face my mom makes when she’s trying not to laugh at my jokes
Walking through the rain with the girl I loved
Listening to someone playing a bagpipe
Compliments from strangers
Falling asleep to the sound of rain
Cold coffee
People reading on the floor of a bookshop
Buskers
Instantly clicking with someone you just met
Apple pie
The smell of my grandmother’s garage
Spending New Year’s eve at home
Jeopardy
The Simpsons
Milk
Typewriter font
Handwritten letters
My little talks with dad
People with a dark sense of humor
Listening to Car talk
Red lipstick
Tan legs and white Converse
The smokey smell of my Aunt’s apartment
Drivers who use their turn signals
Fortune cookies
A three-day weekend
Improve night at The Comedy Club
The design of a crossword puzzle being a lot simpler than it looks
The ability of parents to guide their small children around by the tops of their heads
Moleskines, because they all look the same but they’re all different inside
Deciphering someone’s handwriting
A conversation that starts because of a book
Words
Hammocks
Floor-to-ceiling windows
Watching sushi being made in front of you
Walk-in showers
Falling asleep on a sunny day in Hyde Park
Someone who looks right at your eyes and smiles a huge, sweet smile
Walking around the supermarket at midnight
Apple sauce
“The rest of the story” on NPR
Hospital identification bracelets
Mexican food
Cheese
Receiving mail
The convenience store and laundry room in the basement of the Swan Hotel
Tennis lessons with Arnaud
My high school English and Math teachers
Iced tea at the Savoy
Errand-running
Any lucky find
Music, poetry, sex, paintings, the human anatomy, and literature all being considered art
Seeing my breath when I talk in cold weather, and wanting to talk more.
