rmI got tagged on a meme from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sandstar in which one is to list their five favourite things.
I have tried to restrict this list to things I am capable of engaging in, as opposed to moments now past and irrecoverable (a moment in a theatrical production that is unlikely to ever exist again) or stuff (foods, objects, perfumes, places, etc).
1. Going to the movies. Alone. The moment the theater goes from the quasi-dark of previews to the real deal. Being infected with a movie's rhythm when its over and walking it off alone. The junkfood. The previews. And on yeah, the movie too. But really, that moment when the lights get darker, that and avocados (I'm convinced they're nature's most perfect food) are the best evidences I have for benevolent supernatural forces giving us, their pathetic little children, nice toys.
2. The moment when the plane takes off. Commercial flying sort of sucks ass, but let's face it, that moment of speeding down the runway and being pushed back in your seat by the force of takeoff is the closest more than most of us will ever come to even beginning to understand space travel. Take off is the most dangerous part of flight; sometimes, i think this is because of the way everyone on the flight just gives a little gasp at once.
3. Movement. dance mostly, but not just that, Getting to use my body is always awesome powerful fun for me. whether that's dance class, performing, going to a club with friends, or having to cart something really heavy and awkward home from a shop. I grew up thinking I was graceful, but not strong, and I learning that I am and can be both, and I find it jsut feroccious.
4. Getting stuff in the mail. I dunno where this came from, but I never got over it. It's one of the great things about being able to order the foods I like from Australia, not just that I can get them, but that they come in the mail!
5. Wind. I grew up a block from the East River and it was always windy. I hated the wind, the way it howled through our apartment and rattled my windows. It scared me, because when I was a child we were the only skyscraper there, and I thought we would blow over. But sometimes, I also liked the wind, and it seemed when I walked home from school if I thought realy hard in a way that made a certain spot in my head hurt, I could make the wind come, the way some people could, I suppose, call animals. Sometimes, I still don't like the wind, when it blows so hard into my mouth and nose I can't even breathe. But I still play the make the wind come game sometimes, although I don't know why. And whether I'm playing it or not, the right wind, in the right away always makes me feel the way I suppose I should. I only learnt a few years ago that magickally speaking Libra is Violent Wind. And so am I.
