Hearing:

• "rolling" thunder
• soft but steady rain
• crickets (though I truly hate the sight of them)
• cicadas
• whippoorwills
• when Morrissey growls or rolls his Rs (especially in the Irish brogue style, as heard in "A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours," "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish," and live versions of "Bigmouth Strikes Again")
• Morrissey's voice in general (speaking and/or singing)
• ever-so-slight lisps & speech impediments
• accents
  • French
  • Scottish
  • Irish
  • Australian
  • Spanish
  • German
• pen-to-paper scratching noises
• the crunch of walking through/stepping on leaves
• soft, fluid typing sounds
• cats purring
• the opening of the Main Theme score from Star Wars (chills!)
• Tchaikovsky's Hamlet, Op. 67
• Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 110

Sight:

• mountains (especially the Blue Ridge & Great Smoky Mountains)
• fog (especially when paired with mountains!)
• flowers (this seems cliche, but I could spend hours & hours wandering around the rose garden... I do, actually.)
• street art
• abandoned places that nature is re-claiming
• lights being turned on/off as I'm looking at them
• early morning/late afternoon light that casts a golden glow
• vivid sunsets (particularly with dark red & purple tints)
• stars/space (whether by naked eye, telescope, or photo)
• maps, graphs, and charts
• the moon during the day

Smell:

• Brown Sugar fragrance by Fresh
• Book fragrance by Commodity
• Burt's Bees Almond Milk hand creme
• Avignon by Comme des Garcons (Incense series. Very favorite scent on a man.)
• peaches
• cedar and pine wood
• gardenias
• white fringe tree (also called grancy greybeard)
• my cat (no one else's & not after using his litter box)
• freshly roasted, ground, and brewed coffee
• clove cigarettes
• matches
• the air after fireworks
• the air after rain
• freshly mown-grass

Taste:

• honey (particularly tupelo & clover honey)
• rooibos chai tea
• peaches
• butterscotch
• cheap diner coffee
• jalepenos
• Pita House red sauce!
• buttered toast (so simple it's perfection)

Touch:

• the covers/pages of old books
• the cracking of the spine of a new book
• lush grass with bare feet
• unglazed ceramic
• stiff heavy wool
• the cool side of a pillow
• sheets/towels straight from the dryer
• scissors gliding
• banana paper (especially the way fibers catch my pens)
• puppy ears (even though I don't particularly like dogs.)
• a large amount of small things (rice, beans, beads, etc. Akin to Amelie's affinity for dipping her hands in grains.)
• warm water running through my hair & down my back as I gradually make the water temperature cooler; there is a delay of almost 10 seconds where my head/arms are much colder than my back. It's awesome. This is weird as fuck, I know.
