going out and partying with my friends
meeting new people
learning a new skateboard trick
eating pizza

money (I know I know... it doesn't buy happiness... but, hey, I could be much more staisfied if I had money to get the things I need... and I can be happier mouch easier if I am satisfied, sooooooooo...)
Being able to buy my friends food and stuff.
Borrowing the jacket or somehting of someone I like

Seeing the look on my little sisters faces when I come home after I haven't been here for while...
making my own clothes and having them turn out really really well.

Staying up til the sunrises.
Being alone in my house... (With a family of two very young sisters, a mom, and a step dad, it can be quite difficult to acheive..)
Sleeping in until 6 pm
Writing a poem and having it turn out really well. Same for drawing and painting... some times they just turn out as shit, though.

By Caileen on Tuesday, October 20, 1998 - 04:26 pm:

Things I like:

Blowing bubbles, once, round a friends house we had a BBQ going and I can't remember why, but bubbles were being blown, and because of the heat from the fire they were all rising up and not popping, it was magical.
Dainty sandals that can make even my feet look sexy.
Red cabbage and cream cheese pancakes.
Posh chocolates, especially liquor truffles.
Getting caught out in a summer thunder storm and absolutely soaked.
Walking barefoot down sandy beaches in the evening.
When ever Caíra does something new, a gurgle, sits up anything.
A big warm cuddly sweater.
Any thing by Anne Gedies, especially bumble bee babies.
Going back to places where I used to live, there's enough of them.
Staying at my aunt Mercedes's house, it's like Spain come to Croydon, if such a blasphemy is ever imaginable. I have 6 cousins, all with Spanish names, all older than me, all lads, and all save one still living there, it's great, they take me out dancing and treat me like a can do no wrong little sister, which is dead nice even if the protectiveness is an absolute pain.
Going walking on the hills and mountains, which haven't changed at all sine I remember, and finding wonderful moist green views and shining loughs.
My boyfriend when he's in a really soppy mood.
Corduroy Flares
Anything by Sleeper, Ocean Colour Scene, The Longpigs, Alisha's Attic, the Bluetones, Echobelly, Catatonia, the Cardigans or Shed 7.
Being able to go stay with my aunt Yolanda in Barcelona, and seeing my cousin Maribella who is the most sorted person I have ever met.
Being able to prove myself.
Meeting someone really open minded and inspiring.
Prominent jaw bones on lads.
People telling me what I lovely baby I have, it makes me swell with pride.
Believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden.
Finding clothes that fit properly, are flattering at a bargain price.
Haystacks on moonlit nights.
Barcelona, the most welcoming, magic beautiful city in the world.
Baby booties
Dancing.
Nights in with close friends.


By Fashion Queen on Thursday, October 22, 1998 - 04:28 pm:

I love it when snowflakes land on the tips of your eyelashes.... its cool!

Is there some sort of makeup that creates this effect artificially?


By FQ on Thursday, October 22, 1998 - 04:31 pm:

I love all the lovely jeans you get in America - They are so lovely and unusual compared to the same old boring ones in Scotland!


By Endora on Saturday, October 31, 1998 - 05:09 pm:
