sereneBeen making this list for more years than I can count.
Five things that are good about me:
1. I am willing to work hard at making myself a better person.
2. I am loyal.
3. I am smart.
4. I am flexible (in more ways than one).
5. I am accepting of others.
Five things I'm grateful for:
1. Usenet.
2. Equanimity.
3. That I'm employed.
4. My mother.
5. The relative ease of my (white, middle-classed, privileged) life.
Five people or animals who love me without reservation:
1. My niblings (that's twelve right there)
2. Tommy the cat
3. Mom
4.&5. (see #1)
Five times in recent memory when I was happy/joyful/contented:
1. When I awoke just knowing how my YA novel would end.
2. When I figured out how to use the LJ client from work without installing it on the hard drive.
3. When I met with Charles yesterday and he and I spent an exhilarating hour trashing the commodification of queers that masquerades as San Diego Pride.
4. When mom handed me the guitar she bought for me at a yard sale because she felt bad that mine had been stolen.
5. The entire time I was listening to "Steady Pull" yesterday.
Five things I'm good at:
1. Knowing what I need to get better at.
2. Acknowledging when someone else is right.
3. Pushing my boundaries.
4. Crochet.
5. Sex.
