identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money)
Untitled 13 months ago

1. The wind in my hair.
2. Waking up with the sun on my face.
3. Moonlight
4. Rainy days (especially dancing in the rain)
5. Playing in the snow (though in Texas I barely know what snow is)
6. Kissing/hugging in the rain/snow.
7. Spooning!
8. The feeling of oneness with the universe that comes with standing in nature and realizing your existence absolutely doesn’t matter, but that you’re going to enjoy it while you can, anyway.
9. Whispered confessions of love and passion.
10. Intimate moments where we barely touch.
11. Intimate moments where we touch a lot.
12. Pure and innocent moments where we gaze at one another with a kind of naive questioning, as if to say, “how is it that I never realized how beautiful life was before?”
13. Overcoming.
14. Realizing and remembering who the people that really love you are.
15. That indebted, grateful feeling that comes from being with the people that will always be there for you.
16. Finding yourself. Over and over and over.
17. Continual transformation.
18. Finding something awesome in the clearance section/in a thrift store.
19. Buying a new book/DVD.
20. Fairy tales!
21. Back rubs.
22. Nibbling/biting/gnawing/chewing
23. Having my face touched, and vice versa.
24. Overly adorable and cutesy items and toys that I’m too old for
25. Undisturbed people watching (it’s hard to look at you if you’re looking back at me).
26. Being pampered when I’m sick. This one’s a total weakness. :P
27. People who are out of the norm/people who act the way they want with no inhibitions (think eccentrics)/extroverts that compliment my introverted-ness
28. Honesty.
29. Bodies of water
30. The ocean and everything it entails from its shore to the depths
31. Pants that fit ‘just’ right.



sleep less
Untitled 14 months ago

Having a busy (or at least more busy) schedule makes this one pretty easy. I’ll just have to stay resigned to the fact that unless I have somewhere to be, my body is going to demand that I stay in bed allllll day long.

Untitled 17 months ago

1. Akira Yamaoka – Magdalene

2. Paramore – Conspiracy
Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they’ll find out why we don’t trust them
Speak up, dear, cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don’t trust them

3. Tori Amos – Girl
Well I’m not seventeen
but I’ve cuts on my knees
Falling down as the winter
takes one more cherry tree

She knows the human heart
and how to read the stars
Now everything’s about to fall apart

5. Tori Amos – A Sorta Fairytale
things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone

6. Emiliana Torrini – To Be Free
But if it’s so good being free
Would you mind telling me
Why I don’t know what to do with myself

7. Anberlin – Alexithymia
Are you where you thought you’d be
So beautiful and only twenty-three
Opposition rests in the hearts
With no, with no, with no opportunity

8. Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now
I’ve looked at life from both sides now,
from win and lose, and still somehow
it’s life’s illusions I recall.
I really don’t know life at all.

[instrumental]

10. Caroline – Bicycle
i can’t remember many things

how it took my breath away

11. Frou Frou – The Dumbing Down of Love
Underachieving
Cause no one’s receiving
This tunnel vision
It’s turning out all wrong

12. Halou – all.make.sense
Is this dirt and mud or is it flesh and blood?
When I reach my hands in, I can’t tell where I end.
This will all make sense in the morning.

13. Bloc Party – Pioneers
If it can be lost then it can be won
if it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time

14. Vedera – Desire on Repeat
i don’t want to deny my heart its chance to feel
i don’t want to deny my soul something real
is there anything left in this world that will satisfy me

the answer to the question
my life is like an island
where does this ocean go?

19. Dana Fuchs Band – Because
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry.

20. Emilie Autumn – Swallow (Oyster Mix by Punto Omega)
I’m not a faerie but I need
More than this life so I became
This creature representing more to you
Than just another girl

21. Tori Amos – Take to the Sky
i just want a little passion
to hold me in the dark
i know i’ve got some magic
buried deep in my heart, yeah

22. melody. – Believe Me (English version)
I look up in the sky and
the sun is shining bright upon me now
could it be as bad as it may seem?

I am behind
And nevermind
I will not pine
For I am mine

God, I want to dream again
Take me where I’ve never been

This time I’m not scared
