1. Leftovers. Seriously, when I’m jumping from place to place all day and have absolutely no time to prepare anything, it’s just plain nice to be able to grab something out of the fridge. Two minutes until we have to brave the freezing cold? No problemo, amigo! That slice of day old pizza’s looking pretty darn delicious, so grab it and get the hell on your way.
2. Hugs from wonderful people. Not only was the object of my potential affections looking scrumptious today, but they also gave me a lovely little embrace before jetting off to their appointment. Yes I only got to see you for a couple minutes, but I’ve been remembering the way you smell all day.
3. Unexpected good news. What? I only have to have how many credits to qualify for that early college program next year? And my placement is based on their testing and not on my grades here? Good golly miss molly, that takes a load off my freaking chest.
4. The secrecy of note passing. No, it’s not very polite or politically correct for my classmate and I to privately ponder over our math teacher’s possible affiliation with a certain mustached German man. But it sure does take the bitter edge off of that pop quiz and the news that she’s lost a few assignments again.
5. The ability to enjoy greek tragedies. Yup. That mock autobiography of the character Antigone? The one that everyone else found torturous? That was fun.

1. Friends that make me laugh. Nothing can brighten up my day quite like this. Today started out pretty goddamn awful, but after having a hilarious time with Keegan during my lunch hour, I felt so much better.
2. The sweetest step mom in the world. She made cookies for me unexpectedly, and we ate them together while signing all the x-mas cards that are to be mailed.
3. Being able to run! Even though it’s pretty cold and wet outside, a nice long run still felt really good.
4. Christmas music. You know those stations that play Christmas songs nonstop during December? Yes. Now whenever I’m in the car I blast up the heat and turn on some corny tunes, they make me feel so nostalgic and good.
5. Unexpected second impressions. A girl I previously hadn’t talked to very much struck up a conversation today. Just a small one, pretty casual, but I think that before today we didn’t have very good impressions of each other. I’m the sort of person who can seem a little unfriendly at first because I’m shy, and I’m guessing she’s the same way. But she turned out to be a very sweet person! There was lots of smiling involved, it was fabulous. :)
