All this piled on top of my baseline crabbiness generally turns me into a miserable, seething knot of misanthropy and misery and that&#8217;s never a nice feeling. So, I wanted to cheer myself up with a list of wholly cheerful things, even though it&#8217;s not Thursday. (Sickeningly positive, I know.)<\/p>\n<p>\u2665 Passion Pit, Passion Pit, Passion Pit! My wonderful friend <a href=\"http:\/\/donotfearloss.blogspot.com\/\">Euge<\/a> &#8220;reminded&#8221; me of them as I, like everyone else, had previously heard their single &#8220;Sleepyhead&#8221; on the Little Big Planet trailers. It&#8217;s like an injection of sparkles and happiness to listen to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"vvqbox vvqyoutube\" style=\"width:425px;height:344px;\"><span id=\"vvq-121-youtube-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dNg8oT-k28E\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/dNg8oT-k28E\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Preview Image\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2665 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>\u2665 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&#8217;t wait to go back.<\/p>\n<p>\u2665 Tumblr! is wonderful. So wonderful, and more addictive than Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>\u2665 Things working out for the best. Last weekend involved a small family emergency, but everyone has turned out to be ok, thank God. I&#8217;m so grateful that I live close enough to my family that I can visit easily.<\/p>\n<p>\u2665 Peppermint chocolate patties are so good.<\/p>\n<p>\u2665\u00a0This (from my friend Brittany):<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"vvqbox vvqyoutube\" style=\"width:425px;height:344px;\"><span id=\"vvq-121-youtube-2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UCVCQmxb7YQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/UCVCQmxb7YQ\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Preview Image\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;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.
