I like...

Sometimes I waste too much time trying to form elaborate sentences with cleverly phrased titles. This is not going to be one of those times.

*I like the sound of silence in a room full of people who are thinking about things bigger than themselves

*I like the smell of buses. I like camps. I like wearing a backpack because it makes me think I might be going to camp. It usually turns out I just couldn't carry everything that day

*I like the song, "A New Day has Come" by Celine Dion
