These are a few of my current favorite things:
hugs from Kelsey
visiting Hillary on Campbell Hall
the Ag-Sci lounge (shhhh... don't tell anybody!)
dinner with my mom at Bob's
"studying" with my Medieval Lit. study partner
eating Doritos and peanut M&Ms, drinking Diet Pepsi, and watching Gilmore Girls
watching films in my Anthropology class
having clean laundry
singing worship songs
Nickelback music videos (especially "Photograph" and "Savin' Me")
that Hillary placed Nickelback songs on her iTunes for me even though she hates Nickelback
strawberry ice cream
receiving timely return messages on email or Facebook
rain
the view from my lounge windows at night, with lights glimmering softly in the darkness or the sky becoming subtly lighter and more luminous in the early morning
lamplight
snow swirling slowly and softly around my favorite lamppost, making me feel like I am in Narnia or inside a giant snow globe
cloudy days when the breeze feels coastal
reading interesting or humourous blogs
British spellings
falling asleep at dawn (although waking up at dusk is one of my least favorite things)
praying with friends
fresh, hot, steaming coffee that has just the right amount of cream and sugar in it
lattés
whipped cream
Shout stain remover
reading the opinion page of the student newspaper
genuine smiles
watching movies in theaters
riser seating
not having anyone tall sit in front of me
trickster subversion of perverted justice
when Earl Grey can sense that I'm feeling sad and jumps into my lap and cuddles or gives me kitty kisses
having come up with such a perfect name for my cat
his purr
breakfast in a restaurant
VH1
detesting James Blunt's "You're Beautiful"
listening to Beck
dancing when nobody can see me
the concept in the lyrics of Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten"
cherry chapstick
Portland
good conversations
feeling comfortable being myself
flattering jeans
camisoles and western-style shirts
cardigan sweaters
fleece
leaf buds on trees
when I don't have to worry about keeping the TV volume low
good hair days
well-stocked vending machines
The Chronicles of Narnia and the Saturday Night Live "Lazy Sunday" skit
the color green
the view of the mountains from the top of a hill
days when the temperature is right for sweaters or tee-shirts
not running into anyone in the hall on the way to or from the shower
friendly and efficient business service
when Ian plays "Mad World" by Gary Jules in the coffee shop
wondering about random things like if Bertie Bott's jelly beans came in "Greyhound bus," would they actually taste the way Greyhound buses smell?
finally putting my head on my pillow when I am really sleepy
not being tired
well-constructed sentences
doing better on exams than I thought I did
new books
the smell of Bible pages
accidentally overhearing conversations about God
crocheting
yarn
books on knitting or crocheting, especially when they have glossy pictures of hip, cozy, colorful items
how God is healing my brokenness and slaking my thirst in ways I don't always immediately recognize
blogging
