Watched Amelie again. Made me want to speak French; take the train to Paris; try a pixie bob; get a tiny red flat with windows peering into any European capital city; visit a photobooth; ride a motorscooter; start a scrapbook; set up a scavenger hunt; befriend an airline attendant; affectionately knead almost-ripe fruits and vegetables; fall in love. Then, tackle a more probable task...

Amanda likes:
- Thumbing through her own passport
- Waking up one minute before the alarm
- Making conversation with cab drivers
- Finding dogeared postcards in the mailbox
- Dining with a friend who would also like to eat one half of two meals

Amanda dislikes:
- The feel of wet hair on the nape of her neck
- Overhearing redundancies like "9 a.m. in the morning"
- Accidentally chewing the stringy bits of oranges or bananas
- The military click of high heels on tile floors
- Losing buttons from cardigans

i don't like the feel of wet hair on the nape of my neck, either, except for when it is summer and i am at a lakeside beach. and maybe 9 am in the morning is meant to differentiate from the southern hemisphere where am is actually afternoon. hmm.

My likes include littlewhiteliar blogging in the third person, but not when people speak in the third person.
Why's that?
I guess I am a weirdo.

I like that you dislike stringy bits of oranges and bananas. This is an underrated dislike.

Brandon: Even then; it reminds me of spiders, inexplicably. I hadn't thought about the hemisphere. In general, actually, for a while now.

Suze: Well that makes you fit right in around here! And thanks, my dear.

Pureklass: Where do you stand on the stringy pulps of mangoes and papayas?
