I like the chickadees that come to our feeder.  They always look at you as if they are wondering why you are watching them, and then they take a seed and go.

I like sledding on our sledding hill because if the snow is crusty enough you can go all the way to the road.

I like making gourd birdhouses out of the gourds I grew last summer.  They are dry now and I plan on selling some of the birdhouses I make.

I like playing soccer; my favorite position is middle offense.

I like mountain biking at Craftsbury and Kingdom Trails.  My favorite trail is Kimmers, a steep downhill trail with big jumps and tall berms.

I like taking broken appliances apart and making new things with the pieces.

I like ski and bike racing.

I like bird banding - it's fun to hold the birds.

As if. 

Nearly, closely.

Kind. 

Bearing resemblance. 

I sit here with a scattering of definitions. 

strung together, they would create a disarrayed clothesline. 

A cacophony of jeering birdsong. 

Could you even see the connecting theme? 

Corresponding or agreeing. 

Characteristic of. 

Just as.

I like the sound of rain. When it hails in the summer, and the wind blows trees so hard they bend over. I like coming up with stories that could actually happen, but would be so unbelievable the book would be put in the fiction section. I like thunderstorms; I like running outside in thunderstorms. I like to do things that make people do a double take, and wonder, "Did she really do that?" I like talking to people and only talking about me; I like talking to people who barely let me get three words in. 

I like snuggling my cat, and going a whole day complaining only once. I like not thinking, and being in beautiful places. I like it when I have a day where nothing fills me up and we have a ton of food in the house. I like biking alone farther than down my street because it makes me feel like I'm going on an adventure, doing something risky. I like it when I'm social and active in the same day. I like it when people like my work or compliment my voice, and I'm really not expecting it.

I like to be shocked (only if something good happens) and having a suprise party thrown for me. I like throwing suprise parties. I like shocking people and being different and impressing people. I like those days when you feel so great you're willing to go places and try new things and dance around the house singing at the top of your lungs, even with friends over, and wear clothing that would normally be uncomfortable, because they're actually in style.  Read more »

I don’t really like cats.
The have claws
and are mean.
They have huge teeth that are sharp.
They kill small animals…
I don’t really like cats….
But
cats like me.
They rub against my leg,
And meow at my feet.
They jump on my lap,
And purr….
Cat’s like me,
But I don’t really like cats.
When they are being friendly,
they get weird.
They scratch your leg Read more »
