List: Things to hate about South Florida

1. The rain… wait, it stopped… oh no, it’s raining again… I think… ?

2. Fashionistas / emo-fashionistas / post-modern-punk-rock-divalicious-emo-fashionistas

3. Everything is a half-hour or more drive away *if* there’s no traffic

4. Traffic

5. not being able to speak Spanish or Spanglish

List: Things that make me throw up a little

1. Eating nothing but the same salad over and over all day long (okay, this makes me throw up A LOT)

2. Ex-boyfriends (well, only one makes me throw up… another one gives me headaches and neck pain, another kinda makes me laugh sometimes, and the rest are distant memories from the past)

3. Being over-hungry and stressed at the same time

4. Having a greasy grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast and then going up in a 2-seater in the pilot’s seat, and circling above Hellshire Beach

5. Drinking too much alcohol waaaaay too fast. (That’ll do it — Everytime!)

List: People who are in my inner circle because they’ve *made* me a cake.

1. Mandi Bent

2. Cassandra Meyers/Dimitri Gooden + Abdulkadir Haji, Castro, Wells, and Ben. — from *scratch*!

3. Roger B. (for my first CookiePuss)

4. Shanna Hertz (even if she didn’t make it, she’s in my inner circle)

5. Mummy (because sometimes orchestrating the whole thing counts as much as making the cake)
