i'm very rarely depressed. i think most of the "comforting" i need stems from over-indulgence the previous day, which is more of a physical need than a psychological need. i think my list is fairly typical, and therefore probably not very interesting: - a good cheeseburger. - buffalo wings are fun. hadn't thought of them. they are festive by nature i think, and usually imply beer. - mashed potatoes make me smile.
