It's been a rough couple of days here in good ol' Espana. I've been super homesick and more than that, very lonely. I spend 80% of my time alone and being the social butterfly that I am, it's been hard on me. Anyways, Lizzi suggested I make this list and it made me feel quite better actually.
Things That Make Me Happy- :{D <------- This!
1. Mustaches. They are awesome.
2. Monocles. Also awesome.
3. Sunny days that aren't hot, just warm, and they warm your insides too.
4. Bubbles!! And my bubble tattoo!
5. Poetry! Everything about it.
5a. My favorite poets! Andrea Gibson, Buddy Wakefield, Charles Bukowski, Cummings (EE and EM), Whitman, the works!
5b. That feeling when I read a really good poem! It's a heart fluttery feeling and fills my whole body and makes me go "oooooh!"
5c. That feeling when I WRITE a really good poem. Pride and excitement to share it with the people around me!
6. My music!! Listening to the perfect song can turn my whole day around sometimes.
6a. Being a music snob. I know I'm pretentious with my music, and I love it. I'm a dirty fucking hipster.
7. My family. They're freaking awesome and I love them! I am so so lucky to have a family who loves and supports me in everything that I do. I know they want what's best for me and they are always there for me when I need them. They give the best advice, tell the funniest stories, and know that a hug and a game of cards can still be delivered, even if you're 5000 miles away.
8. My friends!
8a. Making new friends! I love getting to know someone and learning things about them and clicking. I made 4 new friends the other day and we had an amazing time going to a museum and out for tapas!
8b. Old friends. They're the ones that know me best and the ones I can always turn to. I love our crazy adventures, inside jokes and hilarious shenanigans. You know who you are!
9. A good book, a cup of tea, two pieces of toast, one with butter and jam and one with butter and yeast, and a fire in the fireplace.
9a. Coffee and doughnut Sunday!!!
10. In-depth intellectual conversations.
11. Kids books!
12. Baby animals!!!!! All of them. All of them. :D I want them all to live with me. Why are baby animals so far away from me? I want to hold them and feed them a leaf... Or whatever food they like.
12a. Little plastic animals, like the ones from the LQ vending machine.
13. This picture. http://srslycute.com/3004/happiest-sheep-in-the-world/
14. My favorite movies and tv shows! Like How I Met Your Mother. It makes me laugh. :)
15. Getting mail! REAL mail. Not stupid college pamphlets or advertisements. I love getting letters! Or packages from my family!
16. Baking and then eating the yummy things I bake!
17. Riding my bike when it's nice out!
18. Picking out a really cute outfit.
19. Being silly and goofy and weird.
20. Singing and acting and dancing!
21. Playing soccer!
22. Watching March Madness with my family.
23. Making people laugh.
24. Warm rain.
25. PUNS! "I swallowed some food coloring the other day. The doctor says I'm gonna be ok, but I dyed a little inside." Bahahaha!!
I know this list is a little cheesy and I promise to write another real post here soon, but hopefully this holds you over. And it made me happy to write it!
