I like.

I like rainy days--sometimes--because they make me feel cozy-warm-happy.
I like using dashes--hello!--because they are bolder than commas and because Emily Dickinson liked them too.
I like candles--but who doesn't?--lit on a rainy night because they're romantic and because they're warm and because they look like they'll protect you when electricity looks so cold and might disappear with a flash of lightning--BOOM!
I like things that people like and things that people don't like and things that people don't like because other people and too many people do like: example of the first being chocolate; example of the second being Damien Rice and grammar; example of the third being country music and Twilight.
I like being myself and liking it and sometimes being other people because that can be fun too, and why should you be always just yourself when yourself is probably three or four selves?
I like being girly.
I like being romantic.
I like being bookish.
I like being the femme fatale.
I like being cutting.
I like being caring.
I like cooking.
Looking.
Seeing.
Being seen.
Hiding.
Sleeping.
Buying and making.
I like liking what I like.
Don't you?
What makes you like who you are--what you do?

Tell me.
