5 Random Things I Miss

X-mas card from LoverOfMraz


1. Getting Snail Mail
Sure, getting epic emails make one a very, very happy girl, but there's nothing like a handwritten letter, complete with a postage stamp.  It actually takes more than hitting the send button—you actually have to manually write (in your own chicken scratch), lick the stamp and go to the post office to send it off.  Snail mail took a back seat ever since e-mail made letter-writing a hassle-free feat.  The last I got was from my Twitter gal pal Sasha, December 2009.  Anyone willing to write me using a fountain pain on fancy linen paper?  Comment and I shall give you my address.  I make a very good pen pal, I promise.



I like things twisted.


2. McDonald's Twister Fries
I have a very vague idea of when these babies come out of hiding.  Was it Valentines?  Christmas?  Labor Day?  McDonald's should offer this all year round.  Curly fries make very good comfort food.



Scooch over!


3. Camping
Personally, I prefer the beach over the mountain, but I've had fond memories being in the wilderness with nothing but a sleeping bag to sleep on, canned goods to snack on, the sounds of forest friendlies to listen to instead of the hustle-and-bustle sounds of city life, a hole in the ground for business-making, you know the drill.  Being in the midst of nature truly has healing effects, and quite honestly, I could use a breather and de-stress.  I may suck at pitching tents, but I'm pretty good at keeping a fire going.  Hopefully this summer, I get to cross this off my list and just go and do it again.



Long and wavy circa 2006


4. My Long Hair
Okay, I may have said that I am more at home with being a short-haired gal and that it suits my spunky personality more, but whenever I see pictures of my former self sporting longer, wavy locks, I sorta miss it.  Haha, I've had short hair since...2007 I think.  I'm also a notorious scissor-happy haircut addict.  If ever I do get my long hair back, it would take a lot of will and determination on my part to stop myself from chopping it all off again.



Squeeee!


5. Having a Pet
Ohjesus.  Seriously, whenever I see pictures of puppies and kitties online, I die a little bit inside.  I've always been an animal lover (does not include insects, reptiles and pests); I especially feel immense love for dogs.  I used to have one, but ever since Boots died, I've never had a pet of my own.  It's been years.  I believe I am ready.  A Yorkshire Terrier perhaps?  Shih tzu?  Man, I badly want a baby doggeh.
