learning about EVERYTHING. engrossing myself so much into thinking that i forget there are other things to do. laying in a warm bed under the covers when its cold in the room. smelling flowers, especially the purple kind. reclining in my reading chair with a book upside down in my lap while napping. cuddling with bizkit and kissing his nose! putting on this mousse lotion that smells like raspberries that i got for christmas from a friend. making this list. drinking diet coke from a can. watching traffic go by and looking at people in their cars. mowing lawns. hitting golf balls on the driving range when its 100 degrees out. crying during the movie 'My Girl' when the dad says "there were just too many" (even when i watched it at school in my junior year of HS). using my bleach pen to get rid of little spaghetti stains - did i spell spaghetti right? oh and slurping spaghetti down my throat and then pulling it back out again all clean and stuff. sauteeing mushrooms with red pepper flakes and basil and garlic. shopping at the good will and finding something AMAZING that you can only get at the good will. singing with my shower voice at work to that one guy who did that one song. informing someone about some little fact that changes the way they think about the world while you can see the emotion on their face. picking background images for websites. using a fuzz-eater on a really fuzzy sweatshirt. twisting in light bulbs while the light switch is on and saying "and let there be light" once the bulb is completely in and shining bright (also a similar feeling to when you throw an apple core out the car door window while saying "back to the earth"). looking up words in the dictionary and contemplating their synonyms. running outside in the pouring rain like rocky. the way your eyes feel after rubbing them intensly after an itch. walking barefoot through muddy water. winning in rock paper scissors. chomping tortilla chips until your jaw hurts. watching the stars multiply after the first few seconds of looking at them. the warm feeling after your first drink. trying to find my way around a dark room without my glasses. saying "luke i am your father" through a room fan. chainsmoking after something intense. watering your thriving house plants. letting my friends put makeup on me. giving my dog hugs. looking at shiny things (yes i said it!). driving around the city at four in the morning and exploring new neighborhoods. pretending to be a pirate and saying 'ahoy' really loud. drinking a really good iced latte from my favorite coffee shop in my NEW favorite mug, procrastinating homework, shopping for myself with my own credit card, sharing thoughts and feelings, crushing super hard on a super hottie and then getting over it, and then lastly, just being myself and having fun with people that i care about.
pirates and other people that will make me smile, or change the way i think about things. i'd like to meet some people that i can have fun with, but that's all relative right?
