That means the following list is going to be made with bullets, not numbers. Isn&#8217;t that a clever way to imply that the list is unordered ? Yeah, I know.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Playing music live<\/span> : I really don&#8217;t do that enough, but grabbing a guitar and playing songs is a thrill when done on a stage, however small it may be. Especially when it&#8217;s along with some other friends and sisters.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Reading an awesome book\/playing an awesome video game\/watching an awesome anime\/watching an awesome movie<\/span> : The important word here is&#8230; No, it&#8217;s not awesome. It&#8217;s &#8220;story&#8221;. Regardless of the medium it is told on, a good story that makes me forget the passing of time, make me laugh or cry, or provoke thought is worth knowing. It&#8217;s a whole new universe for each one, and the ability to visit all those worlds is&#8230; Well, it&#8217;s awesome !<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Walking around in an urban landscape while listening to some good music<\/span> : The bigger the city, the better. Ah, the joy of walking around in a cold morning while your ears are comfortably put inside your headphones which are pouring some soothing melodies or heavy rythms into them&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">DC++<\/span> : No, really, I&#8217;m not kidding. I only frequent a couple of hubs, but in those I&#8217;ve met many people who I now consider my friends. Even though it&#8217;s designed to be a file-sharing system, I only go there to chat, nowadays. I&#8217;ll probably write a proper article about Direct Connect at some point in the future, it deserves it.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Being who I am<\/span> : Ho, ho, ho. Doesn&#8217;t that sound pretentious ? Before you label me a narcissist, let me explain. I mean that in a very broad way, more than in a &#8220;I think I&#8217;m awesome&#8221; way. For example, I include &#8220;knowing the persons I know because they&#8217;re great&#8221; in it. Or &#8220;my family&#8221;, or more material things like &#8220;playing the guitar&#8221;. Or even &#8220;my taste in music&#8221;. So it sounds pretentious, but it&#8217;s just very general. And of course it doesn&#8217;t mean I consider myself &#8220;perfect&#8221; in any way. There&#8217;s so much I have to work on >_><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Having a nicely organised music library<\/span> : Even though this list is supposed to be an unordered one, I chose to put this last. Because I figured that if I was to leave you with a quite bad impression, the best way was to sound pathetic right at the end. So there you go, I love having a perfectly-tagged, consistent, well-sorted music library on my computer. My life is SO full of exciting things&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s it. Now, I won&#8217;t go and tag other people, partly because these blog memes feels a little too much like many chains of mails I receive and am not fond of, and partly because I don&#8217;t think I follow enough blogs I could consider tagging.
