Dragonfly Dreamer: Likes & Dislikes

Hey, we all have things we either do or do not like. This blog entry will give some of my own likes and dislikes. Of course, if I tried to list everything, this blog entry would never end, so I'm just giving a few that I wanted to share today.

First, some of my dislikes:

I hate slugs. They are slimy, little creatures, and I've seen plenty of them living in Western Washington. I once got a slug in my hair, and that, by no means, changed my dislike of them. I find it interesting that I don't mind snails, though. It must be the shell that makes all the difference. Maybe, I should try to imagine that those slugs are just wanna be snails.

Speaking of both shells and gross, slimy things. I like some seafood, but I've never liked clams. Even their shell, doesn't make me want to eat them. I've honestly tried them more than once, and I still highly dislike them. I tend to prefer milder tasting seafood that doesn't actually taste all that fishy.

Violence, wars, bombs, weapons. I wish that people would find a better way to resolve their issues than these means. Diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy. It's not "us vs. them". It's just "us". We are all the people of the earth. Living otherwise will get us nowhere, fast.

Aagggggh! Snakes terrify me. The big, fat ones are the worst, but I'm not too fond of any of them. Although, even I will admit that the colors of this particular one above make it look kind of pretty. I still think I wouldn't want to encounter it in real life. I recently saw a guy with a big boa constrictor or python (I didn't dare linger around to be sure which) wrapped around his shoulders when my boyfriend and I were walking around at the Whaling Days street festival in Silverdale, WA. When we went past the snake, I was holding my boyfriends hand. I didn't realize that I was squeezing his hand very hard until he pointed out that he'd still like to keep it in the future. Hey, he has another one on the other arm! I guess he just prefers to have two. I was a little nervous and paranoid for awhile after I saw the snake. I glanced around periodically looking around for the guy and his slithering pet in the crowd. It was a relief not to encounter them again.

Now, some of the things that I like:

It's clear from my blog that I like dragonflies, but I'm also a big fan of butterflies as well. They are so pretty! I like that they come in such a great variety of colors and patterns, and they are an ancient symbol of the soul and of transformation. In the photo above, the blue of the flowers is also very lovely.

Yum! Pizza is one of my favorite foods. I like all kinds of toppings on it. I even had pizza for dinner just last night.

I have had visions of the Eiffel Tower in my head since I was six years old and first began to dream of going to Paris one day. I've travelled, but I've not had the opportunity to visit France yet. Someday, I'll go there and see this view of the Eiffel Tower for myself.

Last of all, I love flowers of all varieties and colors.
