GREAT topic1! heehe
-being able to sleep in on weekends--oh i love doing that!
-that satisfaction you get when you have FINALLY finished your hmwk and can go out and just relax (though that doesnt happen often

cuz i procrastinate!!!!)
-hanging out with my sisters and knowing they will be there for me not matter what. they're there as a shoulder for me to cry on, to celebrate my successes, etc. they are an extension of me actually!!
-my own biological sister

and of course the rest of my family
-going to some theme park (gotta love Disneyland) and just being a little kid again and riding your favorite rides multiple times (Loved Big Thunder MOuntain Railroad and Matterhorn mountain!!!! those are the best!!)
-kids...just a smile and hug from them can put you in a elated mood for hours on end

plust the smile you get from them...and how they never judge you
-the contentment of being truly happy (have gone through one of those "identity crises" thingeys and it feels so good to be happy again)
-just chilling at some serene place out in the nature...or at the beach when no one else is there...
-Carmel, CA--if you havent visited there, you must!! Such a beautiful, cute, quaint little town--very charming...the "shopping center," if you can call it that, is just so irresistible--has that traditional wooden look...you wouldn't believe that you were living in the 21st century

the white sand beaches therre are incredible too
-traveling: there's nothing like seeing the world and all the diff sorts of ppl living there!!!
-just being able to do nothing for a day and just be whatever you wanna be--a couch potato, a little kid again, etc...
-baseball!!!! i'm a HUGE SF GIants fan
-true friends who are there for you no matter what...who don't judge you...
-italian food
-being able to just sit in a bookstore all day and just read any book/mag you want w/no one to bother you
-sunny days--everyone is just so much more happier...
-seeing a rainbow, seeing the fog roll in (my hometown: S.F. aka Fog City hehe), or the sun set over the ocean
-your first kiss
sorry so long!! i'm sure there are so many more...
