friday love list: a fresh new lovin’ year!
(for more love lists, just click “listy” or “love” to your right!)
That’s right, my chickens!
WE GOT OURSELVES A WHOLE NEW YEAR TO LOVE ON!
And that’s exactly what I intend to do.
I know that none of us feels loving or loved all the time, but sometimes forcing yourself to think through the things you enjoy/are passionate about/get the tingles for is a good way to pull yourself through the muck. A small step, but an important one.
But instead of focusing on the new year yet, I’m going to ask YOU to tell me what you loved LAST year.
That’s right! Interactivity! Which is to the Internet what Nerf toys are to safe violence.
And I’ll answer in comments as well.
Note: the things you loved in 2007 didn’t have to be invented/created/released in 2007. You just had to enjoy them last year.
GO!
