Looking Back

Wow so it's gotten to the point where I've been blogging for over a year, so I took the time to look back at some of the posts from a year ago.  I looked at the entries that were closest to today's date, a year ago, and found one on April 5th that made me laugh a bit.  It was a list of things I was thankful for and what made me happy-- it was interesting to see what mattered to me then, what was the same, and what was radically different.  So, I think it's time to do a similar kind of list, just for fun.  Here it goes, things that make me happy/that I'm thankful for:

1.  My family and my friends (love them all)

2.  Drama (play, not high school shit)  

3.  Music (=my life)

4.  High school (for being halfway decent)

5.  Playing stylist for friends (SO FUN!  Seriously, I love it...)

6.  Inside jokes (I'm riding the purple jellyfish, and Bob's fish, I can build a coffin in a day, sex is survival...)

7.  Sleep (It can be in short supply sometimes)

8.  Strawberry-kiwi lipgloss (Practically impossible to be moody when you're wearing the stuff)

9.  IMing people until LATE on school nights (Interesting conversations always result)

10.  Role playing (Sometime more interesting than real life-- certainly better than doing homework)

11.  Writing (whatever)

12.  Singing loudly when no one can hear

13.  Sweatpants and those David and Goliath cotton pants (so comfortable)

14.  Fan fiction (Dramione all the way...so fluffy to read)

15.  People who trust you with their deepest secrets

16.  People you can trust with your deepest secrets

17.  Falling asleep on someone's shoulder (on friends on bus rides and such)

18.  Second chances and forgiveness

19.  Fuzzy socks

20.  The people that nod and smile even if you're telling them the same story for the fifth time in a row (or 11th)

21.  Friends you can fangirl over people with

22.  Random txt messages from friends in the middle of boring class sending you their horoscope for the day and then spending the rest of the class trying to figure out what it means

23.  Laughing, giggling, and spinning

24.  People that know you well enough that they can predict exactly what you're thinking about over AIM, and what you're doing (slightly weird, still cool)  

25.  Changing significantly over the period. of a year (who wants to stay the same forever, anyways?

26.  Mint gum

27.  Getting paid to do things that you actually enjoy (like working at an arts camp)

28.  Listening to the same song over and over and over and over again

29.  Playing dress up (for plays, just randomly, or because of friends)

30.  Lists of random things that no one reads anyways.
