Inspiration, and the lack thereof

Can you believe I've spent all this time cooking absolutely nothing of interest? Impressive, isn't it? I mean, I've been cooking some delicious things, but they've all been either very simple, straight from a recipe book, or so ugly my roommate's camera would break as soon as photograph 'em. So nothing blogworthy, in other words. I do, however, have some ideas brewing in my little brain, and as soon as they grow their feathers and become the fully-fledged recipes I just know they can be, I will certainly post them here!

What I do have for you, however, is something of a meme, I suppose.

I was inspired (as I always am) by reading one of the incredibly beautiful Gogogirl's posts about something called "Little H's." Don't even ask me why they are called that; some mysteries are meant never to be revealed. Actually, I genuinely have no idea.

Anyway, these Little H's are the little things that make life great and worth living. Reading about the lovely Gogogirl's H's made me realize that sometimes I, too, need to remember what makes me feel happy. This school year, especially, has made it hard for me to remember what I love about my life; it seems like all I do is work, and while I love my program and music in general, there are times when I just can't bring myself to get out of bed and haul myself through a snow storm just to embarrass myself in a sight-singing test in front of my whole ear training class.

So thank you, Gogogirl. You have been an inspiration to me since the day we met, and today is no exception. So without further ado, here are my Little H's:

• Snuggling with my kitty, Arvo
• Successfully cooking something with weird ingredients or difficult techniques
  
• Reading all of your blogs - I know I've been utterly awful at commenting lately, and I promise I will correct that in future, but I want you all to know that you are awesome, and that I read your blogs with as much devotion as ever.
• Writing limericks about my 19th century analysis professor with my friend Mary during class
• Reading fanfiction (what?)
• Picking up some soy ice cream after a particularly long day
• Getting an A
• Chocolate pudding
• Bringing cookies to people at school - everyone always looks so happy when I offer them a cookie! And so impressed when they find out that they are vegan...
  
• When my family comes to visit
• New episodes of How I Met Your Mother and Ugly Betty
• Turning a wheel on the chore wheel chart
• Clean laundry
• Brightly coloured clothing
• Lee's green Thai curry that he makes for me specially because I luuuuurve it
  
• Getting an email from somebody who is far away or with whom I haven't spoken in a long time
• Tea!
• Sharing food with people I love
• Watering my sage plant, Monsieur LeSage
• Going home and watching ridiculous movies and Food TV shows with my sister and mom while getting totally drunk on wine
  

So what are your Little H's? Anyone who reads this blog and wants to post their Little H's, please consider yourself tagged!

(Sorry for making this into a meme, Lyss; is it okay with you?)
