My Interests

... funny stories, the beach, good bands without fans, iTunes without an iPOD, the way Paul McCartney counts before Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, sunny days, otters, cellphones on silent, tulips instead of roses, sandle bar soap, i really like seafoam green, crunchy peanut butter, squeezable strawberry jelly, saucony jazz shoes, A-Ha's "Take On Me (Take Me On)" video, really awkward silences, the cheap hot chocolate at convience stores, office supplies, lots of sleep, the red line, ten dollar bills, remembering funny things and laughing at them again later, walking on the sunny side of the sidewalk, being brave at the scariest times, overtipping, text messages, light blue and brown combined, bending over backwards and not caring if it's appreciated, open windows on spring days, gmail, LOVE, telescopes, having someone to sit with at the lunch table, the smell of puppy ears and paws, nice people, schedules, honesty, ice coffee, vinyl, album art, long weekends, Thursdays, stickers, playin' the drums, skateboarding, and swatch watches, saying "see you soon" and meaning it, flirting, hearing what people aren't saying, meeting up with someone and getting there first, holding concert tickets just before the show, gin and tonic, "just in time" moments, friendly glances from opposite sexes, CDs without scratchs, the table by the window, loving someone, thursdays, getting to put the whipcream on your own pie at thanksgiving, goggles, staying up late, independence, roller coasters, Canada, phone calls when i thought they'd never call, doing my best, remembering to look at the big picture, 7-11 slurpies, this band more than anything:
