It's Yummy Face Weekend, MKF 12/21

[Dumbsaint]

I had the great pleasure of seeing a performance of The Vagina Monologues last night. Honestly, and this is a big admission for me, I think the high I get from good theater is comparable to, perhaps even surpassing the high that I get from good sex. And this was reeeeally great theater. I laughed, I cried, I howled "CUNT!" with the rest of the audience. So did Gertrude. It was really just a beautiful, marvelous, altogether delightful evening.

And I felt yummy afterwards. Like my brain and my body were just made up of thousands of taste buds which had just been tempted with tastes of the most delectable thing imaginable. So on the way home I was in full yummy face, thinking all manner of yummy thoughts, which my honey mistook for a troubled look of some sort, because she kept asking me what was wrong. Which was cute. A few naughtily appreciative grins cured her of that misunderstanding.

At any rate, what makes you bring out your yummy face? Your favorite food? Your favorite place to kiss your lover? Drag out every pleasure of the senses that makes your world brighter.

For me it would be, in no particular order, (excepting good theater and making crazy love with someone you adore, which surmount this list in all their glory) the smell of fresh bread, hot water against my skin, the smell of the ocean and of a woman, soft cat fur under my fingers as I'm drifting off to sleep, yellow curry, the sleek softness of her thighs, kissing somone just after they've had a drink or a bite of something very cold, that moment just before you wake up when you're perfectly warm and cozy and content never to move again, the feel of hot beach sand squishing inbetween my toes, and making someone moan.

It's a yummy day, I've decided.

Oh, I like this one Dumbsaint.

These things make the world seem right to me: homemade cookies fresh from the oven, a dark chocolate truffle with a cup of hot Twinings English breakfast tea, the mountains red with sunrise, figuring something out that has puzzled me for a long time, a beautiful song, when someone who loves me smiles when they see me, an unexpected kiss.

Just thinking of those things is refreshing. I reserve the right to add to this list!

Wonderful thread! Hmm....things that do it for me....hearing the first few notes of one of my favorite songs.....the feeling of moving together with hundreds of other people to the same sound, the same beat at a concert. The sense of accomplishment when i write a story or poem im truly proud of, or finish a painting of sketch i worked very hard on. The amazing feeling of standing outside in my feild at night, staring up at the dark sky, lit only by the moon and the stars, with a small breeze cooling my face. And the sight of my love with their head on the pillow next to me.

Not necessarily in that order.

Oh this is a lovely topic.

Being up and outside at 5am - listening to the quiet, knowing most others are asleep. Centering clay on a wheel. The warmth and smell of my sleeping lover's body. Joseph Schmidt truffles. A cute girl smiling at me as I pass. Great theater, great film, great symphony. The anticipation of good company.

At the risk of being unoriginal, I have to agree with Julia - kissing someone who's just eaten/drunk something cold is just marvelous. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Read this and went away and had a bath to contemplate such great pleasures.

So for me its the taste of vanilla, the smell of cinnamon, kissing in the rain. My cat running down the drive to greet me, falling asleep with my arm draped protectively over my love, my 14 month old nephew smiling at me, the soft curve of a breast. A rare night alone with Andy.

And since I anticipate it in approximately 40 minutes, the first sip of a cold pint.

Thanks for the great ponderings,
Sonya

Oooh, I like this one...

Here goes...my cat padding softly on my cheek; standing on a stage; gazing at the moon and the stars; listening to 'Clair de Lune'; dancing close to someone special; reading a favourite book; the way my best-friend/one I love smiles; seeing somewhere or something that I've only ever read about.

I think that's all for now...great topic!!

My yummy face has been in evidence quite a bit today. It has something to do with watching a marathon amount of Girls Aloud television appearances, followed by repeated viewings of their new video.

It basically consists of girls. In a cage. Wiggling their hips. Turns out it's a perfect hangover cure

So yeah. Yummy.

[Imperfectly Me]

Ooh Julia, great topic.

Hmm, what gives me a yummy face? It's been a while since something has, but if I remember correctly...
The look Jen got in here eyes when she locked my gaze and told me she loved me, both the first time and each and every subsequent time.
Waking up being held in someone's embrace.
The intense rush of adrenaline I get when Ani steps on stage.
Walking outside in winter and feeling the crispness in the air.
The smell of pancakes cooking on a sunday morning.

Love discussing yummy things. Great idea.

Hugging friends, laughing at Chaplin movies, new strings on my guitar, kissing soft lips, getting the wording right, that look in her eye, cracking the binding on a new book, fresh bread baking, and playing with my new camera.

.... and smutty thoughts and deeds

[Dumbsaint]

Funny shapes, or boobies-shaped?

[thrilledbymaclay]

Fun topic. Well, cooking up evil schemes , my doggies (and kissing them right on top of their heads, between their ears, it's so soft ), remembering fun cabin memories with my best companions, chocolate cheesecake, um, oooooooooo, rain/thunderstorms, a clear night sky, dozing in bed in the mornings. Hugging someone I love deeply.

Hehe...boobie shaped of course.

[taralicious]

My yummy face is brought out by the transcendent energy of opera, specifically the overture to Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro", home made Toll House cookies, the Marx Brothers, burying my face in my cat's fur and listening to her purr as she licks my neck, reading Willow/Tara smut on the Pens board, and innumerable others.

It's been a Girls Aloudfest all weekend LOL. Pity Chloe didn't get into the band though.
Just to be OT a moment,UK Kittens,E! Entertainment Network are now on Sky Channel 250

This is a tough one.

-The rare occasion my girlfriend stumbles, searching for the perfect words to say what she is thinking or feeling (and she always manages to find them).
-Seeing myself through loving eyes and realising, yet again, my self-hatred may possibly be entirely unwarranted.
-The triumphs of characters in books that I read.
-Nature. All of it, including the slimy creepy crawlies and things that go bump in the night.
-Gazing at the stars, always.
-Her eyes.
-A wonderful conversation.
-Learning something I find truly enlightening.
-The pleasant surprises in getting to know someone.
-The Tori Amos album "Little Earthquakes"... it always feels like a warm, gentle embrace... even the frantic parts.
-The satellite "Europa." *wistful sigh*
-Unexpected affection, be it a hug, kiss, or an "I love you."
-Friends in love. So cute.
-Cooking for loved ones.
-Giving the perfect gift.
-Writing an issue of one of my comics.
-Thinking of all the possible answers to this question. lol

I was lucky enough to watch a performance of the Vagina Monologues a couple of months age and loved it. I laughed so much that my sides hurt. If any of you kittens get the opportunity to see this show, you should go.

My yummy face appears when my gf wakes me up because she is talking in her sleep, with her version of Willow babble, its so cute. When I am walking my dog in the forest, very early in the morning.

Spending time with my nephews always makes me happy because they are so much fun.
