1. lattes, which i make at home with an italian caffeteria.
2. cafés, which make my lattes for me and have lovely emilys in them. caffeination and eye-candy: a wonderful combination.
3. lovely lesbians, which make my life happy to see. butch, femme, punk, genderbending: lesbians is all good.
4. my toes, because i can use them to pick up objects and when i sleep i hold the end of the sheets between them. (i'm a primate, deal with it. so are you, oh my upright hairless readers.)
5. cats, because they have bacteria in them that cause animals they infect it with to love them, even mice, so we can't help it. (besides, i'm a dyke.)
6. my body, which is a pleasure and a pain. i wake up in the morning and think, "all praise the six-titted mother of the tcho-tcho - i have breasts!" this is another thing that most emilys don't do, but i like to count my blessings.
7. joanna russ, james tiptree jr. & ursula leguin and all the other emilist writers who make my brain pleased.
8. horror, which makes life fun again.
9. frida kahlo, who makes me feel like being a freakshow is normal and beautiful.
10. carnivàle, which makes me feel that you can live your life with other people and they don't care if you are a bearded lady, can raise the dead, are a rroma who dances with snakes, are a lesbian stripper or an omnisexual butch fortuneteller and work-crew member.
those are my top ten choices for today. i'm sure there'll be much more later or tomorrow. i just thought ten was a nice, square number.
