My previous post should have been Day 11, I realize now. You think it’d be easier to keep track of the dates, since February is already numbered and everything, but somehow I got confused. So here I am, on Day 12 again.
I’m out of words today, so this is just a stream-of-consciousness list of 12 things I love (12 things because it’s Day 12). I’m going to exclude people. This is just things–the first 12 things that come to mind.
1. em-dashes 2. lemonade 3. super loose baggy oversized linen dresses. 4. ramen 5. mac n cheese (all of it. every kind. the super faincy stuff and kraft too. i never met a mac n cheese i didn’t like.) 6. snail mail. (there is nothing quite like real mail. i love it so much.) 7. books that are worn in the right places, so that they fit in your hand and make you forget they are there. 8. chairs that i fit into just right 9. hugs. (oh that reminds me–i know i post a lot of comments with “hugs” and i’ve been feeling bad and just want to say that i hope i’m not making the non-huggers uncomfortable. i had a roommate once who hated hugs and never let me hug her. it was totally ok; we laughed about it a lot actually. but then when we graduated, my present from her was a 15-second side-hug. yup! she let me hold her shoulder and stand close to her for 15 seconds. this is the truth, and i love her so much to this day for that. but personal space is important to me. so the hugs i send you are to be interpreted in whatever way makes you feel loved and supported. even if you like to stay ten feet back. <3 it just occured to me that HUG can be an abbreviation for Here U Go — so know that i am sending you love when i say hug. Here u go. Here is some love. H.U.G. <3) 10. dramas. well, stories, really… books, movies, etc — but these days, its basically just dramas. 😀 11. good socks. (i am very picky about this, and my feet are FROZEN right now) 12. when you’re about to laugh and you realize IT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE MOMENT for laughter and you have to hold it in, but just then you catch a friend’s eye and for a split second there is this feeling of WE ARE BOTH GOING TO LOSE IT. i love that feeling.
hahaha it’s true! #12 always happens when it MOST SHOULD NOT. ahhh i haven’t had this in a while, tbh, but just thinking about it makes me grin. (and yaaay- good to know about virtual hugs being ok. i wasn’t sure. <3)
I once laughed at a funeral after I slipped up and broke the glass on one their bookcases. Yes this happened. I was 25. It just came out. I feel #12 on your list very deeply.
I think we all identify with this list. No. 12 is great. Has this happened to you in an entire room of strangers, where over 100 people were stifling in a laugh, but we all couldn’t??? One of our colleagues (mind you, there was a room full of med students, doctors, lawyers, bioengineers, etc.) being yelled at by a sergeant for breaking a pen in his back pocket, staining his uniform, in front of the whole auditorium. But we were forbidden to look up from our pamphlets (which most of us had already memorized). It was ridiculous. The sergeant shouts at
him asking what he wants to be, and he answers, “AN INTERNIST!!!” And it was obvious the sergeant had no idea what that was. That’s when I started crying I was shaking so hard. And so was everyone else.

Heh. I love no. 12 from your list. It’s always happened in class that just happened to have the scariest teacher.
P.S. I’m not a hugger, but I love virtual hug 🤗🤗
