1. I woke up in the afternoon today. 2. I have at least three picture frames in my room. 3. My trash can is full. 4. I love snow globes, but I’d never buy one. 5.

Is there anything that you see people around you doing or saying that adds a lot to their happiness, or detracts a lot from their happiness?
I think that a lot of people spend a lot of time focusing on how they would be happier if X (they were out of debt or had a better house or their spouse would start picking up his own socks). But I’ve come to realize that once you reach whatever that...

Someone is coughing up a lung upstairs and it’s bugging the shit out of me-especially because it’s some random guy who is here during finals week and it’s fucking late and they are loud. Ugh.
Anyway. In taking an extended break from studying, I’ve been watching a bunch of youtube videos of people singing. An assortment-Gabe, Melissa Polinar, Sara Bareilles, Jason Mraz. ...

is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the...

So I’m back. I realized I have a need to write down my thoughts more often than I thought. Thus, I’m in need of a blog. Hi again, Tumblr. I missed you for that short break we had.
