Things I like, in no particular order:

Books, knitting, walking tiny circles around my house to get my steps in, sauvignon blanc, the Enneagram, singing loudly and off-key, bare feet in cool grass, bitching about my hair, over-thinking awkward social encounters, Amy's frozen burritos, The New York Times Magazine, hot sauce (preferably Valentina or Cholula), buying toys I say are for my kid but are really for me, the idea of doing yoga, skee-ball, old typewriters, fireflies, talking about drinking more water, 60 Minutes, my impression of Empress Moonchild giving Bastian all that is left of Fantasia, secret parking spaces, being an ENFP, making weather-themed playlists, dad jokes, hyperbole, "2112" by Rush, expressive hand gestures, margaritas on the rocks, apologizing for apologizing, lying in a hammock on a sunny summer afternoon while off in the distance someone mows their lawn, the copywriting on Taco Bell sauce packets, making lists of things l like, in no particular order.

Important Disclaimer:

*I'm not arrogant enough to call myself an "idea juggernaut" from the start, but a creative partner once did and I'm totally arrogant enough to roll with it.
