- Clean sheets and shaven legs
- Hats
- Ray LaMontagne and rain

- Old pennies
- Having a shirt for any sort of Presbyterian event I have ever been to
- Watching separation unite again
- Pointless arguments that never end
- Being able to relate to others through experiences thought traveled alone
You are what you love, not what loves you.
Love, Valerie x
