Raindrops and roses, and whiskers on kittens...

Things I miss about Seattle:

Rain
People I know
Bagels and lox
The Senate (the band)
Riding in cars in the rain...there's something so specific-feeling about that
People who don't care what they look like
Umbrellas and boots and fleeces and raincoats
Buildings with heat (they don't believe in that here...and its winter now which is actually cold like the wolf since you never warm up because indoors is the same temp as outdoors)
My cats and dog (Rory, Roo and Bo)
Grey's Anatomy and every other American TV show that is 6 months ahead in the US
Not being seen as a representation of Bush and the Iraq War
Ketchup instead of tomato sauce
Krispy Kremes
Real dill pickles
celery and ranch
pizza with actual pizza sauce
Girls who wear tennis shoes sometimes
Movie rental places with movies made before 2003
Pride and Prejudice (BBC version)
The Usual Suspects
The Challengers
Sour apple martinis
People who do not have domestic helpers (aka maids)
Internet and phone time that isn't so expensive that I feel endlessly guilty about using it
Herbal Essences!!!
Christmas lights
Politics
Recycling
