Lists

I'm good at making lists. Rarely good at following through on ticking things off the lists, but good at making them. I was watching a film tonight and it made me think of a list. Things I want.

I want to learn how to bake pies. Proper pies. With a decent crust/pastry base and interesting, tantalizing flavourful fillings.

I want to own my own cafe. A proper little coffee shop, with good coffee and even better desserts, made fresh by yours truly.

I want more spontaneity in my life. And more romance. Spontaneous romance even. I'm not the soppiest girl in the world, but all girls like it from time to time.

I want my own place. Somewhere I can decorate to my liking. Somewhere I can come home to and feel at ease.

I want to share that place. I want to be in a situation where I can share that home.

I want the ability to make all these wants become realities.

90's Revival

Followed a trail of links today which brought me to this. I loved Ace of Base when I was a younger. Still do to be fair. Anyway I started clicking even more links and found Scatman, 5ive, LFO, Shaggy, No Mercy and way too many other random bands I loved in school. Not all of them could be classed as good music, but they are still the kinds of songs that get me dancing and smiling. Which is no mean feat these days.

I've been discussing modern society with my mother this evening, and I've come to a conclusion. This is one bloody scary world. I mean, I'm not at the point where walking out the door and down the main street worries me, but I will admit that the thought of living in a bigger city or country does cause concern. Not that it's going to be happening any time soon, but its one of those lingering things in my mind.

I was going to write more but time seems to have escaped me.
