Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
I don't know. It'd all be sex- and soccer related for me. Pretty boring.

I'm not sure that I can say these are in order, nor are they actually my definitive top 10 favorite things of all time. But here's my list!
1.) Jen
2.) Media (books, TV, movies, games, comics, music, internet)
3.) Beer, wine, and spirits (not just the consuming, but also the making of, the analyzing, the whole culture)
4.) Making people laugh
5.) The crackling sound some books make when you open them
6.) The smell when I open my humidor
7.) The companionship you get from an animal which, in many ways, is better than a human friend
8.) Accelerating out of a turn while driving
9.) Book stores
10.) My bed
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
I propably would change it all the time....
1. sleeping
2. wandering in Suzhou gardens
3. watching the moon
4. eating cherries
5. watching films in the theatre in the daytime
6. making and eating Chinese food with friends
7. the summer
8. having a foot massage
9. drinking oolong tea
10. remembering an enjoyable moment and the feeling of it
I'll give it a go, but I don't think I'll be able to order it.
- Waking up with my girlfriend and knowing we have the entire day off.
- When my favorite artists release their new album.
- Playing soccer pretty much whenever, but particularly when I'm making that key pass that leads to a goal
- Playing soccer pretty much whenever, but particularly when I'm making that key tackle that leads to the opposition not scoring a goal.
- Going to sleep when I want to, not when I should.
- The other day, when my friend told me I always stood up for what I believed was right. That's something I believe is important, and the fact that he acknowledged that was cool.
- Drinking more often, but still much less.
- Trying to learn C# from "how-to" books and online tutorials.

About a year ago, my college friends and I compiled lists of our 100 favorite things (we're all basically list junkies, having already done the standard movies, albums, tv shows, etc.). A lot of them were personal but I'll see if I can whittle mine down to ten.
EDIT: Here it goes.
- the smell inside a used book store
- bare feet
- Ann Arbor college football Saturdays
- Seeing Raymond on the LA metro
- apples, cider, and donuts from the orchard
- bungee jumping
- finishing a screenplay
- eating outdoors in the summer
- lucid dreaming
- sharing a slice of coconut cream pie with Donald Glover on his birthday
F it. post all 100
