Ashley, Now and Then

Inspired by the hot chick over at Regarding Mary, tonight is an excellent night to list some of things I love about me. Because today, was, let's say just a little difficult. Here goes:

• my auburn hair and green eyes
• a close relationship with my brother
• competent writing skills
• the ability to support myself (albeit barely sometimes)
• my obnoxiously adorable laugh
• the ability to be understanding and, generally, patient
• my loyal, supportive, witty friends
• my own loyalty, support and witty remarks to those friends
• my bookshelf of everything from Cormac McCarthy to Harry Potter
• coworkers who think I'm actually funny
• a comfortable bed and yoga pants to come home to
• the ability to open up to people, even if that's sometimes too much
• a slightly better than average kisser (Ed. Note: I'm amending this to above average kisser, I was just being modest before...)
• the good sense to usually wear comfortable shoes
• enough general knowledge and open-mindedness to discuss politics with (most) others
• a sweet tooth (or several)
• knowing when to ask for help when I really need it

Better now.
