Heartfelt Stuff In Case The World Ends

I mostly don't believe the world is going to end tomorrow. I mostly believe it's just time for the ancient Mayans to buy a new calendar (maybe one of adorable puppies or stills from Twilight?). But I do have to admit that there is a part of me that does buy it when there is some sort of doomsday prophecy. So, in case it is true and the world ends tomorrow (at 5 AM, apparently, but what time zone?) I just wanted to make a list of things I love.

- my family (Mommy, Dad, Bill, Brad, Andy, Nikki, Mokey, Izzy, Zoe, Patty, Tanya, Danielle, Shannon, Ricky, Pam, Robert, Daniel, Grandma, Grandpa... I've never understood families who aren't close)
- my friends (Lauren, Amanda, Ivan, Jenny, Dan, Shelby, Joanna, Rebekah, Kristin, Mike, Noreen, a bunch of other people; I feel kinda bad naming names since I know that guarantees I'll leave people out. The people I did list were the first who came to mind and are my absolute closest, dearest friends without whom I don't know what I'd do)
- my pets (Oscar, Bodie, Tarkus, Flansy, Myow-Myow, Zot, Cruiser, Killer, Trouble, Jaws 2, Reggie The Goldfish, Reggie The Other Goldfish; I love and loved you all. Life without pets is pointless)
- The Simpsons (shaped my life more than any television show should ever shape any person's life)
- The Prisoner (some people wear "What Would Jesus Do?" bracelets but I want one that says "What Would Number Six Do?" I joke about his punching and shouting and power eyebrow, but I take that show far more seriously than most people realize. Number Six really is my hero)
- They Might Be Giants
- Gogol Bordello
- the work of Shirley Jackson (Shirley Jackson is my other hero. If I were the type of person who got portrait tattoos, I would get portraits of her and Patrick McGoohan and I am not kidding one bit)
- horror movies (just in general; I've had plenty of obsessions in my life but none has been so consistent, persistent, constant as horror movies and really just horror in general)
- Disneyland (and Disney movies)
- food (it goes so far beyond just a need for sustenance and it's not any of that snooty "foodie" crap. I will try anything at least once and I enjoy all levels of food, from pretentiously fancy to barely edible)
- Beanworld (the most fascinating, inspiring comic book a person could hope to read)
- the music of Mike Patton (that man's voice, oh my god)
- the holiday season (from October through December, the best time of the year)

It's so frustrating because I'm being so vague and I know there's more. There's so much more.
I feel like my worldview has mutated in just the past few months. Not in a bad way, I'm just looking at everything differently than I always had before. I've gained a lot of new understandings and new ways of looking at things but on the other hand there are a lot of things I've become far less tolerant of.
Right now I wish I was having a pot of classy English tea (with milk and no sugar) and calling everyone I know and telling them how much I love them.
I used to be terrified of the apocalypse but not right now. I think if the world does end at five in the morning, I wouldn't mind. At least I'd sleep through it.

Be seeing you. Probably.
