Led Zeppelin ~~ Mmm, Zeppelin. *drooling*

That special time ~~ It comes around only twice a day, yet, at the same instance, it's always that time of day. Hee hee hee!!

The desert ~~ Aaah, sandstone, lizards, incredible sunsets, a night sky that goes on forever, absolutely terrifying thunderstorms, and temperatures well into the 100s, all the time. If there is a heaven, it's somewhere on the Colorado Plateau.

Drag shows ~~ Nothing like a man in a dress to make life interesting.

My pickup ~~ It's a blue 1979 Ford F-250, and it wasn't actually mine, my parents owned it, I drove it. Sadly, this beautiful piece of American manufacturing has left the family. It was sold the same day I moved out, and that night my dad said "Well, Old Blue's gone, my daughter's gone...I think I'll just go to bed." *sniffle*

My piece of shit ~~ It's a 1993 Chevy Cavalier, also known as The Very Sexy Cavalier, sometimes the Freak Mobile, and most recently as the Death Trap. It has been a good car, and has served me faithfully (usually), but the time may be drawing near to trade the old girl in for something a little more operational.

My dad's midlife crisis ~~ A rebuilt 1964 (?) El Camino, very loud, very fast (at least I assume, he doesn't drive it) and very very cool.

Skittles ~~ Hi, my name is Elaina, and I'm a Skittleholic.

Flame patterned anything

Pay day ~~ This should be completely self-explanatory, unless you're one of those dumbasses that sits around picking your nose all day instead of getting a job so that you can mooch off of other people. If that's the case, you may now bend over and kiss my rosy white ass.

Drag show attire ~~ This usually involves a lot of glitter, a lot of vinyl, dog collars, chains, fishnets, and really sweet shoes.

Some of the search keywords that are used to find my site ~~ Some examples, according to Geocities site statistics, "paying the rent with tickling", "Elvis, Jesus or God getting a job", "Is fainting the closest thing to death?"

Sequins

My leather trenchcoat ~~ There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a roaming hoodlum in style.

Sleeping in

My friends ~~ I love all my friends (some of which can be seen on my pictures page)!! People tend to annoy me rather quickly, so it's easy to understand that the people that I consider to be my friends would be only those people that don't make me want to run screaming into the path of an oncoming semi (for the most part anyway. There are some notable exceptions). These people are few and far between and I love them all dearly.

Brad Pitt

Tattoos ~~ Forgive me, I know my mom is cringing, but I think I'm addicted to ink.

Shoes ~~ I've told Katy a thousand times before that if I wasn't broke 95% of the time, I would have such a huge shoe collection, it wouldn't even be funny....but then again, maybe that's why I'm broke all the time.

Halloween

Elvis ~~ I know that if I had been alive in the day when Elvis was around, a-wigglin' and a-shakin' and setting young girls' hearts afire, I would have been right up there at the front of the thundering herd, hoping that perhaps his pants leg would brush against my hand as he crooned his way through "Don't", and screaming "Oh! I'll never tell you no, Elvis!" before fainting dead away and being trampled by 500 girls with the same idea as me.

Bass ~~ No, not the fish.

Monster truck rallies

Figure skating

Drinking a cold beer in the grass on a hot summer day

A hot cup of coffee on an entirely too early winter morning ~~ Contrary to my professed desire to not have to drag myself out of bed until the sun has been up for at least 6-8 hours, I work a full-time job that requires me to get up (and be coherent) in the morning. I have since learned to appreciate fully the benefits of a good caffeine binge.

Piercings

Angelina Jolie ~~ The first thing about her that caught my eye was the dragon tattoo on her arm, which was the exact same thing I had been looking for as a tattoo for myself for a long time. Then I realized that she's a pretty kick ass lady who's been in a lot of good movies. The obsession spread from there.

Special Effects hair dye

Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor", played on a pipe organ

My condom coat ~~ This coat is the only reason that winter is even remotely enjoyable. The outside is made of rubberized nylon (feels remarkably like a condom) and is so thick and heavy that I can't wear it anytime other than in the dead of winter. I can pack everything in that coat. In fact, here's the exciting inventory of just what exactly I had in those pockets in February 2001

Poker ~~ I like playing poker, but keep in mind that just because I like it doesn't mean I'm any good at it. And I'm not into the complicated stuff either, I know the importance of fours, one-eyed jacks, and promiscuous ladies and that's about as far as I go.

Happy soap ~~ Usually the Cucumber Melon stuff from Bath and Body Works, but really any kind of soap that makes you happy when you use it.

Fishing ~~ As with poker, just because I like it doesn't mean I'm any good at it. I don't really go out for the express reason of catching some poor, ignorant little fish (if I do catch something it's usually an innocent bystander, or an errant body part of my own). I just go out for the joy of being out there. I like the quiet and the solitude, and it gives me time to think (I know, thinking is unhealthy, but so's sniffing fingernail polish and I still do that).

Driving ~~ This might partly explain why I love cars so much.

Star gazing ~~ Most warm summer nights when I still lived at my parents' house, I could be found out in the backyard or field with a flashlight and a map of constellations. I would have really liked to become an astronomer, but the math would have given my poor brain a hernia.

Stephen King ~~ If he weren't already married and the same age as my parents, I would marry him myself.

Writing ~~ Maybe someday I'll be a famous writer and some little weirdo from the backwoods will want to marry me too.

Latin dancing

Blue slushees ~~ They make your tongue turn a really brilliant shade of blue when you drink them. Such a beautiful thing.

Karate ~~ Once again, I return to the statement "just because I like it doesn't mean I'm any good at it". I don't think I'm really good at it, although I must be descent because I passed all the tests I took while I was in the class. I haven't trained in a couple years, since I moved away to go to college. I miss all the smartasses that I worked with in there though.
