🍫 A Most Unreliable Narrator 🍿 Issue #178 A vaguely long list of things I really like

I like a lot of cr4p

Welcome to A Most Unreliable Narrator, the slice-of-life newsletter of GenXer around town, Lisa Rabey. I talk about anything and everything with a bit of swears. I’m glad you’re here.

Dear Internet,

Every week I do a Wonderful Thing segment because it’s a nice reminder that even when shit hits the fan, I can find at least one joy to partake in. Abby, over at We Have Notes, posted a list of things “cults” she’s joined and I thought that after weeks of my despair (I am feeling much better, btw), and it’s spring so a time of renewal, I’d do the same.

In no particular order

• 90 Day Fiancé franchise

• Love Island universe

• Coke made with cane sugar

• The colors purple, orange, and grey (sometimes hot pink)

• Apple products

• My 47 year old teddy bear

• Zelda franchise

• Animal Crossing franchise

• The smell of fresh cut grass

• First snow fall

• Elbow (the band)

• Doves (the band)

R.E.M.

• Reading

  • `Heaving bosom books

• Doctor Who

• May 4^th

• Libraries

• Netgalley

• Movie theater popcorn

• Sparkle water

• Nottingham Forest Football Club

• Mr. Lisa (mostly)

OK, that’s enough and you get the point. I’m sure after this posts I’m going to want to add something else to the list but I’ll refrain. It’ll be hard, but I’ll refrain.

Also, I can feel my security minded friends freaking out at all the personal data I’m leaking but eh. I use fake answers anyway.

Next Sunday (March 24), I’m going to be in Michigan so no issue that week.

Wonderful Thing

Making lists.

They sooth me.

I like long lists and I cannot lie,
