Day Sixty Five

I love journals.

A couple more lists I made while spending endless hours on sleeper trains in China.


Feelings I dislike:

• dropping a popsicle on the ground
• losing a key
• forgetting a close friend's birthday
• entering a restroom to see that there's no t.p.
  
• walking in wet jeans
• seeing a spider on your bedroom floor
  
• having your iPod battery die
• biting into a soggy apple
• sleeping through work
• finding out about a new cavity
• working with Lorene
  
• having your car slide on the freeway
• wearing a hole in your favorite sock
• forgetting to feed the dog
• not being able to start your car
• having to ask for money
• breaking a guitar string
• scratching a chalk board
• losing a sentimental gift
  
• feeling like you have to vomit
• showering in cold water
  
• being woken up from a nap
• dropping your cell phone on cement
• losing a rivalry game
• seeing mold as you bite into bread
• scoring low on an exam you thought you did well on
• getting pulled over
• having something stolen
• when it rains right after you've washed your car
• having a new CD skip
• when your computer freezes mid-project
• trying to sleep with a runny nose

Feelings I enjoy:
