A LIST OF MY FAVORITE THINGS + FAVE MOVIE GIFS // also i'm actually not even close to writing yet help

November 6, 2017

me: OH MAN LOOK AT THE SKY.
me: OH MAN I CAN'T PICK A FAVE
me: oh well I guess I'll just have to use them all
sarah: DUDE THREE SKY PHOTOS?!?!?!?
me: ...........................

in the spirit of my last post about my negative feelings, I thought it'd be fun to do a list of my FAVORITE things.

#1 : THE SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ask my family. if the sky is blue, IM OUTSIDE AND HAPPY (and probably taking pictures of the sky lollololololololol)

me whenever the sun is shining. 

#2 : happy little words. (also letter stamp sets + washi tape) poetry. books. ice cream. jazz. snail mail. fresh air. dirt. growing things. summer. but also christmas. my bedroom. updating my blogs. ice cream. mary poppins. randomness. clean closet. crackly records. sleeping in. wondrous ink pens. 

#3 : the fact that Sarah and I have been able to spend 89 1/2 % of this summer/fall together. like. legit I went to the store one day with my older sister and I started looking for Sarah and then remembered "oh yeah. she stayed home."
we're kinda attached to each other (BTW HER BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP ANNNND SHE JUST SHOWED ME THIS FANTASTIC POST GOING LIVE IN A FEW DAYS. #totallyrelatable and man totally jealous of her skills)

SOME OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES : 

  • dick van dyke show
  • fiddler on the roof
  • the finest hours
  • mary poppins
  • pete's dragon (the new one) 
  • sarah, plain, and tall 
  • anne of green gables
  • sound of music
  • good old disney robin hood



so. it's the 5th of November. And, my goal is to write 5 short stories throughout this month for NaNo. I SO BADLY WANNA STICK TO THAT. and so far... I haven't even started. The next two weeks look insane (aka working every day (even saturday *sobs*) + craft show booth event thingy) BUT LOL ITS OKAY I GOT THIS 

ALSO I REALLY LOVE THIS GIF IT JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY


WELL GEE. it's almost midnight. *gasps* this time change is....interesting. I woke up this morning like 

"mom. I'm confused. is it really 9:48 or..."

tbh. DO WE EVER REALLY KNOW??!?!??! *ponders this* also. heheheee. I get to go to the dentist tomorrow. I'll keep you updated.  

GIMME A LIST OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS
HOWS NANO GOING / OR THOUGHTS ON TIME CHANGE

35 comments:

  1. Blogger ate my comment again. *cries* WHYYYY.

    I love blue skies. XD (Those kind of blue skies make me SO happy too!!!)

    Oh that gif of Julie Andrews. <3 <3

    List of happy things:
    |Sunny weather and blue skies duhh | Being able to wake up early naturally | Storms at night | Surprise letters | Finding new amazing music | When your singing actually sounds alright XD | Being almost finished maths and science FOREVER | dimples | Friendly eye contact | Gingerbread scented candles | Journals | The book "to Kill a Mockingbird" |

    Also, can I ask a suuuper random question? K thanks. Do you drive an automatic car or a manual? :P (Idek why that is on my mind... maybe 'cause I'm learning to drive a car (I'm clocking up hours - I have to get 100 hours, here in Australia!) and my mind can't seem to get off cars...) I am going for a manual license so I'm learning a manual, but I'm also practicing on our 8 seater automatic van as well. Anyways. Just curious. :P

    1. WHAT IS WRONG WITH BLOGGER GEESH. *slaps it*

      I KNOW. It's like HEY GOD THANKS FOR THE BLUE SKY I CAN DO ANYTHING NOW (i think i could have been a bird)

      so. much. happiness. <33

      UHM THAT'S A GOOD LIST. I feel like i failed at mine..I should re-do it lol!! but HEY I JUST GOT TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. I get to read it for my 1st time soon. eep. I've heard a lot of good things.

      DUDE I LOVE RANDOM QUESTIONS! I drive an automatic. and what. you have to get 100 hours?!?!?! it's 50 here!! MAN. and you have to go for a specific license? huh! I could drive both with my one?? so strange. Well GOOD LUCK. (btw I love driving 12 passenger vans. XD AM I WEIRD?)

    2. Yes, To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my all time favourite books (and this is only my second read)! It's just so unique and clever, simple and true, darling and endearing. <3

      Yes, 100! And in another state you have to get 200 hours!!! (I would write a letter of complaint to the government if that came to our state. *pouts*) Well, if you get a manual license, you are allowed to drive an automatic (because automatics are super easy to drive if you've already learnt a manual), but you can't drive a manual with an automatic license. People in the city just get automatic licenses, but I live in the country. ;) (And we're old fashioned apparently, haha.) (Vans are fun to drive, but they're scary when you have to reverse park them in tight spots etc. :P)

    The moon.

    Random stuff. *winks*

    Oh, dentist. I think I'm going soon too. ;P
    I don't know about the whole time change thing... wouldn't it be better if we just let time be? When it just changed, it WAS nice when I realized I was actually up earlier than I'd thought... but now it also gets dark earlier. I mean, what's up with that? ;P
