music. The kind that is creative. I love being inspired as I sit at the piano and my fingers are hitting the right chords and notes and I'm making my own song. Regina Spektor inspires me. Ian McIntosh inspires me. Classical does not inspire me...although it can be fun to play somehow. Most of all, God inspires me. I am thankful for the gift of music given by Him...to all of us. I love sitting down with my guitar and playing along with a song, figuring out the chords as I go. It feels good when you attempt, practice, and master a bar chord. I love to listen to songs with no lyrics and create stories to go with...or pick out all the different instruments and marvel at how they all fit together and sound amazing...sometimes I get goosebumps. It gives such an amazing feeling to sing three part harmony with a couple of friends. I love a good beat and wish I could play drums.Little things in life make me smile...
when someone you don't know smiles at you while walking by, the feeling you get when a baby falls asleep in your arms, climbing trees and seeing the view, a friend finishing your sentence or saying the exact same thing at the exact same time, having a conversation with someone else using only your eyes, getting an extra 10 minutes of sleep, nicknames, being in a conversation in which you know allot about the topic...and feeling smart, inside jokes, certain peoples laughter, watching people, reactions, sneezing randomly, staring at someone across the table until they feel a bit nervous, finding money in your winter jacket that you forgot was there, accidentally taking an amazing photo.
I thoroughly enjoy....
chocolate, instruments, Lord of the Rings, food of mostly any kind, tree forts, reminiscing with friends, traveling, exploring the outdoors, writing poems, friends...the ones that you can pick up where you left off instantly...no matter how long you have been apart, serendipity, running, Little Women(the book), those yummy chinese noodles, meeting people who are being themselves, staying up late and being the only one up,
thunderstorms,
going to the beach and getting a tan while having fun, Ian McIntosh, black and purple and green and gray, getting drenched in the rain because you want to, creativity, learning cool things, learning new words, talking with big words, taking photos, India, mountains, bagpipes.
Everything is much more fun done at night in the dark. Swimming, walking, driving, playing in the snow...you name it.
I like listening to some of Regina Spektor, Enya, and Owl City. I like flip flops, or just barefeet, or socks and no shoes.Beethoven is cool. So are some people that I know. Eyes are amazing things. I like looking at them. I want to buy a lighthouse...a real one.
I don't like fish much unless it's breaded, nor do I like eggs. They gross me out, quite frankly. I'm not a fan of getting out of bed, but once I'm up, then mornings are nice. I like the sun (but not so much the heat) soccer, macs, fields, skype, brushing my teeth, microsoft.
I love how God will keep me no matter how many times I stumble, how much I struggle, or how little my faith is. The peace that comes through Him is incredible and his love and blessings toward His children never end.
I need to love Him more.
