I love writing.
I love drawing.
I love being able to create my own stories and characters and worlds.
I love that other people also read and enjoy them.
I love hearing people's opinions and theories and ships and whatnot of my work.
I even love when people don't care for my work, as long as they have useful critique (it's been known to happen).
I love anime.
I love manga.
I love video games.
In particular, I love JRPGs, 2D side-scrollers and old-school games in general.

I love Japanese culture as a whole; I don't consider myself a Japanophile or anything though.
I love animals.
I love eating meat.
I love pasta.
I love drinking wine for the taste.
I love soda.  It's my one TRUE addiction.
I love fast food more than I like to admit.
I love desserts of all kinds.
I love being able to spell; this way, I don't love "deserts" of all kinds.  
I love English, even if I myself butcher it sometimes.
I love psychology.
I love reading, although I don't do it nearly as much as I should.
I love it when a story that still has me thinking about it days later.
I love it when a comedy can make me laugh consistently.
I love it when a drama actually makes me cry.
I love it when the twist is actually surprising.
I love classic rock.
I love epic, symphonic, or power metal… NOT death metal.  Yes, there's a difference.  
I love video game OSTs.
I love bands and artists that a lot of people I know have never heard of… but not BECAUSE no else has heard of them.  I love them because they're good, and I WISH more people knew about them.
I love being young at heart.
I love being old enough to know better.
I love that I've never done drugs.
I love tattoos, but after years of thought, I still don't know if I should get one.
I love it when things go right.  (Who doesn't?)
I love finding money.

But I love other things besides money.  ^_^
I love love.  (Yeah, that sounds pretty stupid…)
I love saying stupid things sometimes.
I love word games.
I love rambling.
I love doing lists.
I love doing memes.
I love making fun of memes. ;P
I love hanging out with my friends, but…
…I also love my alone time.
I love learning new things.
I love cosplay.
I <3 emoticons! XD
I love cloudy days.
I love rainy days… as long as I don't have to go anywhere.
I love Spring.
I love Summer too, but I love Spring more.
I love Halloween.  Like, a lot!
I love writing and drawing.  I know I pointed these out already, but that's how much I love them!
I love my tablet.
I love my old scanner.
I love Photoshop.
I still love looking through my old sketchbooks.
I love looking at other peoples' art too.
I love taking pictures, even if I have a crappy camera.
I hate console wars… because I love that each system has its own merits and something worth playing.
I love single-player gaming.
I love multi-player gaming if the other players are in the room with me.
I occasionally love spectators while I game (it REALLY depends on the game).
I love earning Trophies… even if I've never gotten a Platinum.
I love catching Pokemon… but I've never "caught 'em all".
I love using the Enertron… "but it still leaves me hungry." ;)
I love Dragon Quest, and how in 25 years, they've never moved away from the traditional play style.  
I love Final Fantasy, both new and old.  Even spin-offs.   
I love Shin Megami Tensei.  I just effing LOVE it.
I love Disgaea and its quirky brilliance.
I love Mega Man.  Especially "original" Mega Man.  X, Legends, Zero and ZX are all good, but classic is still best in my book.
I love Castlevania.  Better in 2D.
I love Legend of Zelda.  Better in 3D.
I love Dragon Age.  Best traditional fantasy setting and storytelling I've seen in a long time.

I love getting comments.
I love getting favorites.
I love being watched.
I love making new friends.
I love open-minded and accepting people.
I love seeing LGBT people (especially youths) who are happy and accept themselves.
I love being able to offer advice to those LGBT people who cannot accept themselves.
I don't necessarily love being transgendered, but I do love that I can be open with myself and others (for the most part) about it.
I love being told I'm pretty.
I love my damn sexy legs.
I love my hair (when it behaves).
I love goth fashion.
I love colors too, incidentally.
I love dreaming.
But not as much as I love daydreaming.
I love that I could continue to drag this out if I wanted to.
I love finishing things though.

I love life, even if I'm not necessarily always happy.
I am entirely capable of (and quite prone to) being bitter, resentful and depressed. However, I don't like to "hate" things. I really do try my best to keep a positive outlook about all things. It's not always easy, but it CAN be done and I feel like it's saved my life many times.

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of those "I Hate" lists. And frankly, they bug me. It's disappointing to see people hate so much. Isn't anyone HAPPY anymore? Is it really so hard to make a list of the things that one loves? With that question in mind, I tried this. I succeeded. There are 112 things on this list, and to me, that's awesome. It's probably not original, and I honestly doubt I'm the first one to do this, but I simply have not seen it. And imagine that: I'm in an better mood now that I've been able to actually reflect on some of the better things in my life.

I loved doing this. And I'd love to see other people share what they love as well. Frankly, I've seen enough hate. ^_^
