Things I Love ___day
January 14th, 2011 • Things I Love Thursday
I’ve been grumpy as all get out today due to the routine morning cattle car (i.e. a ride on pretty much any bus that leaves from 4th and Alma), a distinct lack of coffee and two hours of mind-bogglingly boring lectures. All this piled on top of my baseline crabbiness generally turns me into a miserable, seething knot of misanthropy and misery and that’s never a nice feeling. So, I wanted to cheer myself up with a list of wholly cheerful things, even though it’s not Thursday. (Sickeningly positive, I know.)
♥ Passion Pit, Passion Pit, Passion Pit! My wonderful friend Euge “reminded” me of them as I, like everyone else, had previously heard their single “Sleepyhead” on the Little Big Planet trailers. It’s like an injection of sparkles and happiness to listen to them.
♥ A clean room. Many people know that I am messy, but few people know the profound extent of my mess-making capabilities. For the past forever, my room has been akin to a disgusting badger warren. Essentially, it was just a nest of dirty clothes, unnecessary paper and old teacups. A friend wanting to come over put the fear of my secret being exposed into my heart and I tidied everything to perfection in the span of about three hours, vase of tulips and everything. This, I assure you, is a herculean feat considering how bad it was before.
♥ Chinatown. My friends Dave and Kit accompanied me to Chinatown where I spent way too much Christmas money on voodoo skull bracelets, barbecued pork buns and cute stationary (my kryptonite). I can’t wait to go back.
♥ Tumblr! is wonderful. So wonderful, and more addictive than Facebook.
♥ Things working out for the best. Last weekend involved a small family emergency, but everyone has turned out to be ok, thank God. I’m so grateful that I live close enough to my family that I can visit easily.
♥ Peppermint chocolate patties are so good.
♥ This (from my friend Brittany):
