List 5 things that make you happy, and then tag 10 more people

Well, I’ve been tagged by bookish-wallflower (thanks :] ), so here it goes...

Reading a beloved book on a lazy rainy day (indoors), listening to the rain patter on the roof and the leaves until you start to doze off

Hot cider and fresh-picked apples in September orchards, feeling the leaves crunch beneath your feet and feeling the fresh snap to the air

Going down to the local animal shelter to sit in the cat room and just let all the kitties swarm over you

Exploring downtown and checking out all the cool little shops, antiques and books and weird specialty shops

Swimming in a deep, quiet lake at night, alone, just feeling the water

Hmm, and I’ll tag:

ulalian answered your question “So for my final science fiction paper, I have to pick a science...”

For firefly there are lots of options: "futuristic slang" and the combination of Chinese and english, basically anything about reavers, something about the post-apocalyptic/post-earth context, also River can fit a few too. Good luck!

Ooh, if I think of something language-related that ties in to human identity other than the obvious Orientalism problem (because I feel like that’s hard to tackle in a 300-word thing), I’ll write about that.

I think if I go the Firefly route, I’ll probably write about River, especially because we’ve been talking so much about cyborgs and cyborg-like characters in class, but I’m really bad at understanding River as a character, so that might be hard. I also kind of want to maybe do something with the whole “good people doing bad things”/ “bad people doing good things” (which I can pretty easily tie into the sci-fi aspects of the government in that world), but that idea is very nebulous.

ulalian said: I understand your plight. I’d suggest writing her a poem/something heartfelt in the card, then make her something: be it food/low budget craft/etc.(and then make it punny, like cookies “because you’re the sweetest mom”

Hey thanks for the Ideas, I have a card and a small gift ready to be sent to her, the only problem is i have to wait to see what my brother and dad have planned and if i need to add him to card. Its kinda hard to plan when your brother is 3 hours away and pretty shocking at gif giving :P
