I'm very vocal about things that I dislike, and believe me, I dislike a lot of things! Consequently I'm very often labelled as negative or a moaner - it's always "Oh Anna, why don't you talk about the things you do like instead?"
Well I like lots of things!
I like dogs. I like birds. I like animals in general.
I like finding a song with the perfect beat for a gym workout, and I like it when I realise that I can sing a song without forgetting any lyrics for the first time.
I like potatoes - mashed, roasted, fried, wedges, hash browns, any way you like.
I like finding the last item of clothing in my size at a shop at the back of the rail. I like it even more if it happens to have had a couple of quid knocked off of the original sale price.
I like Cherry Bakewell flavoured green tea.
I like scrapbooking and journaling.
I like Family Guy.
I like the inside jokes that I have with Sam and my friends.
I like road trips, and I like having control of the aux cord on those road trips.
I like people watching.
I like tattoos.
I like 70s rock and 90s dance music.
I like climbing trees (although admittedly I'm not that good at it).
I like online shopping.
I like stickers.
I like Vanilla Coca Cola.
I like the little woofing noises that Penny makes when she's dreaming.
I like going to Sam's parents' house on Mondays for tea.
I like Instagram and Pinterest.
I like huge blankets and fluffy socks.
I like putting food out for the birds in our garden.
I like this one aftershave that Sam wears which I comment on every time he wears it.
I like the Harry Potter books.
I like it when pets have people names like Phil or Greg or Susan.
I like looking at houses on Rightmove and judging the decor (money can't buy taste!).
I like David Attenborough documentaries.
I like cocktails and cocktail bars.
I like skinny jeans and Converse high tops.
I like cheese.
I like Sam's beard when it gets a bit scruffy, usually the night before he neatens it up again.
You're probably wondering if there's a point of this, but there's not! But next time somebody points out that I complain too much about the things I don't like, I can point them in the direction of this list of things I do like!
