Blue Bic Biros- They have no real importance espesh when you got these super duper parker pens and what not. BUT blue bic biros rock my world, i can only use them and them only call me cheap i like to think modest.;) my feng shui is all fooked up if im not writing in blue bic biro

OH MY GOD, Blue bic biro's. I feel exactly the same way. I can't even write in black pen. ew.

The only other pen I can write in is my parker pen that i've had for nearly 8 years (got it when I started high school and managed to keep hold of it since! :D It even re-found me afetr it got lost at a mash-up! :love:)

fresh bed linen
the first blossom on the trees every year
my daughters amazed face when she has figured out something new
unexpected hugs
when someone helps me with all my bags/pram/children when travelling on public transport
smiles from strangers
the orchids flowering after being flowerless for 18months

Oh you can't beat a blue bic biro!!!!! One of my tutors takes the piss out of me constantly for writing with them, saying I must have some underlying genetic defect and I should be permanently quarantined for fear I spawn a whole biologically defective breed of blue biro users. lol.

I love the smell of certain library books- all musty and old. A bonus, albeit diminishing in frequency is if you get others notes on the side of text- preff in a poetry book. I love reading what other people make of something.

I bought a book last year from a second hand bookshop called Lake Wobegone Days (Garison Keller), the book is supposed to be excellent. I bought it, however as i was seduced by a dating made in pencil - 10th September 1991. Also inside, (and the biggest gift of all) was a uni shopping list, handwritten and still there after all this time. Pens, notepads, new socks, deodorant. I loved seeing this little bit of someone else's history, and enjoyed wondering whom it belonged to and what they had become.

I quite like cutting into something like a piece of fruit and knowing that i am the first person to see its innards. Lol sounds daft but sometimes as i pop it in my gob i feel sad that i will always be the only person too. That pattern and colour is so unique it seems wasted.

I like asking Jonno about his childhood, what games he liked to play, food he ate etc. I could (and do) listen for hours about when he was little. I find it fascinating.

I love creaky stairs, ours is the second from the top. It feels like home.

I like reading other peoples little notes/comments too, i've been known to leave a few sarcastic ones myself lol, and the odd immature boredom venting post-it informing whoever picks the book up next that if they're reading this book they are probably a geek and such like.

The toilet doors in our uni library are littered with random bits of dialogue, one person writes a comment, another person leaves one back, usually something cheeky, they go on for ages, I read a great little toilet door debate about rape the other day lol.
