reader appreciation III

today i profess my love for DON!!!!!! our brains are married (and you're like "WTF does that mean?"; he knows). i LOVE his blog and i love that he is my only faithful male reader. i suggest you check out his writing because the brother writes WELL. he constructs paragraphs like landscaping and his poetry is like small statues or figurines. what i mean to say is he turns verbal into visual and inspires deep thought. unfortunately, he decided to bow outta the game and is no longer blogging. 

so for my alterego, the male ashley, my literary twin, i will post some likes and dislikes:

i like:

• gummi bears


• when the light turns green as i approach the intersection


• birthday cake for no reason


• googling things and looking things up on wikipedia


• summer cookouts


• intellectual african-americans


• hand-written letters


• homemade mixtapes/cds with a message for the recipient


• synchronized thought


• unexpected donations to the ashley fund

i dislike:

• old gummies of any kind


• food caught in the strainer after doing dishes


• birthday cake on an actual birthday


• when the sun shines through my window waking me up


• the fact that mayor fenty is banning ALL types of fireworks in DC


• how i can't force you and i'm not going to even try


• tears on my pillow


• psuedo-intellectuals


• compartmentalization/categorization


• calls from people other than the one person anticipated

*waiting to see your name in the reader appreciation? stay tuned til later in the month or next month... i didn't forget about you!*
