I want that

These things elicit intense desires, often urgent and irresistible, sometimes experienced mentally and sometimes felt viscerally. This is what I crave:

  • cold pizza
  • haircuts (not usually, but once I decide I want one, it’s a haircut emergency)
  • live female jazz vocalists
  • blue corn tortilla chips
  • relevatory candor
  • mischievous behavior
  • slow dancing
  • Eddie Izzard comedy
  • quiet company
  • cuddling with puppies
  • marathon workouts
  • writing

When the craving strikes, I’ve gotta have it, taste it, feel it. I need it. I can think of nothing else. The only thing that can distract me from an unfulfilled craving is the onset of another craving. Cold pizza is usually a satisfactory substitution. I picked up a slice on the way home and put it in the fridge.
