Seven Things I Love About My Life Right Now:
My cozy little apartment. With my cozy little nest of a couch, the slew of movies and tv shows I need to catch up on, the dog that doubles as a throw rug and The Boy who stumbles around looking for caffine at the bright and early hour of 4pm.
The massive amount of music Tyr gave me. I mean massive. I get a little overwhelmed whenever I open my computer or look at my ipod. I've fallen in love multiple times in the last three weeks. I had almost given up on music... but I keep going back to it because I love it so much.
The Boy. Is it bad that he wasn't first? He'll deal. He's just a boy after all. A boy who makes me silly happy, who tickles me on the couch, plays with my hair absentmindedly while watching zombies eat brains and will argue with me about books but not much else. And, he fixed the kitchen lights without me saying a word. I mean, who does that?! And we play games of hide and seek with the oreos. Well at least I think it's a game. He hides them at my request so I don't eat the whole bag and then I tear apart the house looking for them. I eat three and then he hides them again for a few days. That's a game right?
My job. I feel so naive and young saying this... but I really love my job. When it's busy it gives me that daily dose of adrenaline that I crave. When it's slow I get to read a book, or be on the internet. WHICH IS AWESOME. And they pay me fantastic. There are days I'm stressed to the max but those days come with a shot of adrenaline so I still like it. I do work with mostly women, and so I'm terrified of the drama that floats to the surface of every week. I'm trying to keep my head down while still being friendly. It's a surprisingly hard line to walk. Lucky for me I took tightrope walking classes.
Books. Books. Books. I'm three books behind the boy still. And Liz let me go into Barnes and Noble without a proper chaperon. Which means I came home with six books and a lot less money. I figure they'll last at least two weeks.
Friends. All of you. Now that I've rejoined the social world my long lost friends are welcoming me back with open arms full of drinks. Or movies, or long conversations on the phone... You get the idea. The Boy and I are forced to rent a house come January specifically so that we can fit more friends under one roof. Between the nights out, the adventures and the chill conversations I haven't had time to do the basics, like grocery shopping. Although, let's be honest shall we? I'll do most anything to get out of grocery shopping.
Halloween!!!! Which doubles as my vacation. Not only am I going out of state, but I get to go on A PLANE. I love love flying. And Airports. I love them. You know how most girls feel about going shopping for expensive shoes or bags or whatever? That's how I feel about flying. and Airports. Oh Airports. Did I mention we're going out of state? Cause we're totally going out of state. It's kinda a family trip with his family but since we'll be in costume for halloween and drinking and eating all weekend it'll be great. Halloween and vacation all rolled into one?! Seriously be jealous.
You and I share the same sentiments about flying and airports, (probably travel in general). I drive by the PHX Int'l exit everyday and everyday it takes all my restraint not to take that exit and buy a ticket to anywhere. Granted in my current state it really wouldn't be a good idea but it still doesn't stop the magnetic draw. PS if you send me your mailing address, I'll send you an invitation and announcement when these boys make their debut. j_nanabanana at hotmail dot com.
ReplyDeleteI made #2!!!! Seriously, consider me stoked :)
ReplyDeleteOk, I realize its music that made #2 but still, my name was mentioned. Glad I could add even a little bit of joy and fun to your life. Music is such a beautiful thing. It moves me, dictates everything I do and the pace with which I do it. I'm constantly finding and discovering new things musically that excite me. Like the new Kings of Leon album, or rediscovering Tin Machine, or finding a video of a live performance by Tom Petty and Prince covering "While my Guitar gently weeps", or Аркона which is a Russian Pagan metal band. OMG I love music :)
I am genuinely happy that you are so content with your life right now. It makes me smile.
