these are fun! they make me miss myspace.
purple, probably. i tend to gravitate toward that the most. also blue and green. really i like all colors, depending on the context. something to wear, painting/decorating the house, planting things in the yard...
that's a tough one. right now, lilacs because they're blooming and smell soooooo wonderful. in a few weeks i'm sure it'll be daylilies.
a trip to london with my mom and sister (and a handful of other family members/family friends) over spring break when i was 18. it was nice spending time wih my mom and we had a blast all over the city. we took a day trip each to windsor and bath too. good times, good memories.
i like that i can drive 10 min in one direction and be in the heart of the city (or be at the light rail to get to the heart of the other city, lol), or 20 min the other direction and be in the middle of nowhere.
being relatively free from responsibility. also, being incredibly healthy.
another tough one. probably the '30s and '40s, if we're going vintage. early '90s/grunge was fun and easy too. lol
i have no idea. probably 40ish, if you count flip-flops.
take a caribbean vacation (SO doesn't like that one, lol), play a gig and/or record a song (i'm still in the learning stages right now), run another half-marathon. (i highly doubt i'll ever be able to do a full marathon. i did one half before but i hadn't trained well because i got shin-splints partway through, so my time was abysmal. lol)
text/email. i hate feeling like i'm interrupting people. with text/email, they can get to it and respond when they have time. (of course, this depends on the situation too...important news needs to be delivered by phone at the very least, and i keep a standing skype date with my mom every week just to chat.)
