• I force myself to see movies I’m completely uninterested in because I believe in watching as many films as possible ranging from bad to mind blowing.
• I’ve yet to find the will to apply the same discipline to books though. maybe when I hit the infamous thirties.
• I love coming home smelling like coffee and caramel. and vanilla. and hazelnut. (hang out in a coffee shop long enough and it’ll happen).
• winter should linger around a little longer.
• and couches should be a little more longitudal and celestial.

• Seeing a bug, then losing track of it and becoming a paranoid prisoner in your own home.
• Hearing loud slams and bumps while you're in the shower and imagining it being some type of killer who you'll have to fight off, soaking wet and butt naked.
• Thinking you've found a parking space, but as you turn in you discover that a motorcycle, a Volkswagon Bug, or some other vehicle the size of a Hot Wheels car has already occupied the spot.
• When a sneeze refuses to come out, causing you to look like a fool with a scrunched up face.
• Waiting to hear from somebody specific and being bombarded by texts and calls from everyone who isn't that person.
