Enjoy The Little Things

Alright, here's what's up.
We all have those little things that make us happy, whether it be kicking puppies or licking a stop sign in the dead of winter. However, since I'm not a psychopath or an idiot, I enjoy other little things. Some of these things include:

  • Walking on freshly cut grass barefoot
  • Pulling a weed and having all the roots come out
  • Putting your IPod on shuffle and having your favorite song come up first
  • Sand between your toes-doesn't matter if you're in a sandbox or on the beach. Nothing beats sand between your toes
  • Waking up to a "good-morning" text...even though that's never happened to me
  • The first scissor cut into construction paper, or any paper actually. Scissors and paper=perfect combination
  • When your cat meows back at you. That's right, it makes me happy. My cat and I have conversations, he actually listens to me. Oh, God. I really am ForeverAlone
  •  Waking up at 2am and knowing you have a few more hours to sleep
  • Sneaking cheap candy into a movie theater, because no one wants to pay 3/75 for a box of cookie dough
  • Old boardgames, so much better than the crap coming out now
  • The smell of the coffee aisle in the grocery store. I don't even like coffee, but I love that aisle
  • Getting the handicap stall in the bathroom. No one likes to do their business feeling claustrophobic
  • Flipping your pillow over and having it be really cold
  • Snorting when you laugh. It might be really embarrassing, but it means something was really funny and it only makes you laugh more
  • Walking on the first snow fall and feel it crunch under your feet
  • Guys you don't have to read this one: Taking off your bra after a long day....freedom!
  • Pulling through a parking space. That's just amazing. It makes me happy.
  • Ugly Actors...it gives me hope. Not everyone has to be super gorgeous to make it in show business
  • And last, but not least, when something comes to exact change. like "your total is $10.00 exactly". It doesn't happy very often, but when it does, step back because I'm going to do a happy dance
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

All About Me

Alright, here's what's up.
What is there to know? You could ask people that know me and what they say could vary from person to person. Some people will probably say I'm mean and downright rotten. Some will say that I'm down to Earth (whatever that means) and pleasant to be around. Who's to say what's true and what's not unless you go straight to the source? If you want to know about me, all you have to do is ask.

My favorite color is purple, but that's bound to change. Why? Because you can never have just one favorite color for too long, there are too many out there. I believe in the unseen. Unicorns are real and so is magic. It may not be the magic in Harry Potter or King Arthur's Tales (which actually happened!!), but there is always magic out there. You just have to look for it. I like things that no one else does. I love Indie Rock bands, vintage clothes and things that are ironic. I'm a dork. A total and complete dork; I love Harry Potter, I'm on Knowledge Bowl and Speech Team, in choir and I read books...for fun.
While my weekdays are mostly filled with school, but on the small chance that they're not, I do have some fun things to do. Being a senior, I decided to fill my final days  here with something fun, so I became a boys basketball manager. It really is a lot of fun, mostly because I get to watch males. That's pretty much the whole reason I joined. I'd say I picked the right reason. When I'm not attending basketball games, I usually stay at home and watch movies. You can never watch too many movies, that's my motto. At least, that's one of my motto's. Because there are so many, I can't possibly pick one favorite, but I can pick a few. They include When Harry Met Sally, The Breakfast Club, Easy A and Ferris Beuller's Day Off. How can anyone not love these movies? Comedies are, I think, the best genre there is. And I think several people would agree with me.
Really, there is nothing else to know about me. Oh, wait, my blog name. Right, about that. While most teenagers begin dating in eighth grade or some began dating a little later, there is me. At seventeen years old, I have never had a boyfriend or even close to that. Actually, I've never been on a date or have even just hung out with a member of the opposite sex one-on-one before. I know I'm not the only one, but it definitely feels that way most days. I know I'm not missing out on much, but still. It'd be nice to have the full "high school experience" by getting to go on at least one date, but oh well. I guess we'll have to wait and see. For now though, that is all about me.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
