I miss my old black lab who died two years ago. We got a new pup a few weeks ago but I almost feel a bit disloyal to my so much loved and missed old feller by starting to love another dog.
I miss feeling healthy and strong.

Summers as a kid, esp vacations.
Cuddling, having my hair stroked, and other non-sexual expressions of romantic love.
Money.

I miss hanging out and talking shit with my Toronto friendsI miss my friend JamesI miss a public transportation system that worksI miss StockholmI miss having a shower with good water pressureI miss my records and CDs that I left in CanadaI miss having regular Danish-stylee lunches with my parentsI miss golfing with my dadI miss the exciting feeling I got when Uni classes started around this time of yearI miss having my own radio showI miss hangover-cure Sunday brunches at the Hacienda in TorontoI miss riding around on my VespaI miss driving in my car in the summer with music blaring
Most of all, right now I miss the cottage we rented in Northen Ontario for 2 weeks every summer the last 5 years before I moved to the UK. It was the thing I looked forward to most all year - relaxing on a beautiful lake in the middle of nowhere with no other humans around, canoeing, reading, swimming, barbeques with great food, a fridge full of cold Creemore Springs beer, good weed, mushrooms, and friends to share all the above with.

I miss staring at a FULL sky of stars at night, accompanied by the Aurora Borealis.
― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 09:28 (twenty-one years ago)
I miss the village green, And all the simple people. I miss the village green, The church, the clock, the steeple. I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.
And now all the houses Are rare antiquities. American tourists flock to see the village green. They snap their photographs and say "Gawd darn it, Isn't it a pretty scene?" And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy, And now he owns a grocery.
And I will return there, And I'll and Daisy, And we'll sip tea, laugh, And talk about the village green. We will laugh and talk about the village green.

Sometimes I miss the feeling of being eighteen and in my first year of university, when my only concerns were finishing my papers, writing my record reviews for the campus paper, and hosting my radio show every Tuesday night.
I miss my skinny, teenage boy's body.
I miss the following people: Dana, Ellen, Richard, Steve, Sarah. If you think that might be you, get in touch.
Sometimes, when I'm not feeling angry (still) about the breakup, I miss my ex-girlfriend. I swear, I never take breakups as badly as I took this one. Sigh.
I'm really not this mopey! I'm just feeling reflective.

I miss the feelings of calm, serenity, that Things Will Be OK Really. I miss not pricking up my ears in desperation in case someone is coming downstairs. I miss not being nervous about what other people think. I miss feeling active and not lazy. I miss A-Level English Lit lessons. They were wonderful. I miss not having to worry about money. I miss not desperately avoiding Croydon at any opportunity. I miss getting excited about buying a record rather than viewing it as a bloody process that only serves to tick Natwest off that bit more. I miss being on my own, having some space round me, not always walking into everyone else's things, and now they've come back off holiday you start to notice just how fucking cramped this place really, really is.
I miss reading. Jesus Christ do I ever miss that, the thing that really got me going when I was younger, just lying on the bed and READING, reading books, reading magazines, tearing through Thornton Heath Library and then Croydon Central Library like nobody's business, devouring these huge chunks of stories about People Slightly Older Than Me And Not In Croydon, none of which I can remember now. I miss not realising that all Hardy Boys books are basically exactly the same. Ditto Redwall. I miss being overflowing with ideas for stories and characters and people and what they do and how they do it and the lines for them just flying into my head. I miss my creativity, actual proper creativity, not just "Ah, Marques Houston, now, what if he were in Eastenders?" I miss being really good at that.
I sort of miss the school drama productions, kind of. I miss them before seeing the video of the production of Glengarry Glen Ross that I was in, where I basically appeared to be doing an impersonation of a weather house (out one door. Walk to spot on stage. Say lines. Walk back out of door. Repeat to fade). I miss thinking that people were talking shit when they said I wasn't speaking loudly enough. I miss thinking I was comedy gold when I was in fact the school's version of Mark Heap.
I miss the radio show, and the times we used to have, but after that last broadcast I realise that'll never be coming back (though I have applied for uni radio at Leeds. Really not holding out too much hope, but you never know).
And the really odd thing is that I'm in a pretty good mood right now.
