dancing around in circles
you know those moods… those days when you have had so many great events, that you just dance around the room… just like mel gibson in "what women want." my choice has been harry connick, jr. tonight to do the same. it's been a pretty grand day.
and for no huge reason. just a few small ones.
reason 1:
morning surprises. i had breakfast at city cafe. in the morning, there is so much calm to experience. it isn't rushed. and it's quite nice to be alone. that way, you can enjoy even more then winks and grins of the ladies as they walk by your table over and over. the wonder of city cafe still amazes this 24 year old. i just can't ever get over the feeling that you get when you go there. it's impossible for me to leave in a bad mood. completely impossible.
reason 2:
quiet & laid back time today. yes, except i was afraid to lay down on the couches in starbucks in the ferg for the fear that i'd have slept for quite some time. so, i just chose to hang out and watch. i did a little homework, but mostly watched. people amaze me… the way they interact always surprises me. it's so cool to think that God has programmed us to have so many different emotions. and sometimes all at once. man, it made me think that when God made us, he was really showing off his mad skills.
reason 3:
unexpected things. chip cruncher didn't come in early enough to sit behind me! that was a blessing in itself. you have no idea. and dr. taylor made a ton of jokes today in class. he's usually pretty straight collared, but today, he let it out a bit… but he's still stinky.
reason 4:
phone calls. during my break in spanish, my phone rang. yes, it was the lady from student employment. and yes, i have a job! i start next tuesday. i went and talked to her. it made me very excited to think that i'll have some sort of additional funding for school… especially for commutes! ha ha. as far as dialed calls, i called holli mack today and talked to her! yay! i love my PIC. she's incredible. it's so funny to hear what we're like on the phone, because it seems like we haven't seen each other in years. and it feels like that too. boo. anyways, i've got a surprise for her this week, and can't wait to take it to her!
reason 5:
later phone calls. so t-mobile called me today, because i forgot to pay my bill before i went to camp. oooops. but, that's the bad part. for once, i had someone to talk to there who went out of their way to find out what it was i needed to know. and what was the biggest question i had? about cell minutes. apparently, since the cell is now pretty much the only phone i use now (and the only one that i'm called on), i use more minutes. and i've gone over for the past 2 months. so, now i have 3000 minutes instead of 600, and i'm only paying $8 more than before. ahhh, the wonder of specials. and lots more talk time.
reason 6:
email. when i got home, i got fun email! that's always great to see email other than the coym boards email. yay for people who email me for a reason… to make my day better! the other is one of my spanish major-mates sent me an email to partner up for conversation. he's in a 300 level class, and i'm a lowly beginner. but, i'm excited about it! related to email, i got an IM from reagan today too. she's one of the daughters of a fam back in alex city. she's incredible, and i'm so glad that she's all up in b.b. comer with me! yahoo! i also got an IM from winston with a link to a little slice of heaven (it was a dual 30 in. cinema display with a big fat g5 hooked to it). it was like an encounter with an angel. wow.
reason 7:
people who have the hookup. yeah, it's not like that. anyways, i had a message via IM from ben. and he wasn't around, so i called him. anyways, he saw a link that i would've died over! it was a spanish language learning situation sponsored by UMVIM. i was so happy. what is the point of this? well 2 things: it makes me happy to think that people see ways that can make others happy, and they make a point to bring it to the other's attention. second, when you know people who know people, it makes the world a better place. yay.
reason 8:
jim 'n nicks. i love that place. it's so good. i was so hungry too, because i didn't have lunch. why? well, i was too busy watching and too poor to eat. ha ha. i went to jim 'n nicks with the folks… got me a pig in the garden salad, and almost choked on a bone. fun, eh? yah, not the bone part.
reason 9:
visitors. my bro dropped in tonight. i love hanging out with him. he's the greatest. my sis-in-law is working, so he came by to hang out. we chatted for a while, and then he headed down to my dad's office to talk to him.
reason 10:
light showers. it's so great to walk outside when it's barely drizzling. and the ground is wet. and you're barefoot. lovely. it's so freeing. i love it.
reason 11:
sleep. i was gonna take a nap today when i got home, but i didn't. so, i'm going to bed in about 30 minutes, because i'm tired. yes, it will be 9 pm, but i really don't care. i really need some sleep.
so there they are. the reasons that i'm happy today. and dancing around. i think i want to hear buttercup now. and, i hope that good times will keep-a coming. just to state… this post was a whole lot freakin' longer than i expected in the beginning. but now after reading, i'm thinking of so many other good things that have happened! yay. good day. a good day to dance.
