One of my favourite songs is Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, or any live band cover version. Makes me feel cheerful, get up and dancing and singing along to the chorus. I feel an affinity for Van, because he's from Belfast, like me, and some of his songs are about places and streets in Belfast that I've been in.
(I've left Belfast as well, but I haven't done quite as well as him (yet) )

Favorite things:...
A tiney sea shell found on an isolated beach that very few people have even seen, let alone walked uppon.
A small feather picked from the hold of an old pine tree who's wide boughs were sheltering me and my (then) dog from a sudden summer downpoar.
A "garfeild and cross forks" pirate flag I painted... that the Yugoslavian boat police made me take down from the rigging.
...
Cats - I just love cats - I think they are all so pretty and all so unique.
My umbrella tree - or at least it was - I bought it at as a tiny weedy little thing at a supermarket' cos I felt sorry for it, I nursed it from the brink of death and had it for many years but it died recently.
Diana Ross CDs - I was brought up on this music as a child - my dad worked nights and my mum, sister and I used to have discos in the living room. I love this music as no matter how fed up I am feeling, it never fails to cheer me up. Happy memories!
My hair straighteners - sorry to appear vain but I hate my hair wavy- it looks so much better straightened!
Hate cats, love wavy hair. Specially the "ruffled" lookOriginally Posted by littlewiggle
