I like to eat cherry tomatoes more than is probably
necessary.
I feel more comfortable having serious conversations with people
when I'm sitting outside, preferably in the middle of nowhere - an
empty field, small bridge, or roof would be ideal.
I played a game with my friends one time called I Think You Think I
Think. They had to guess what I would want to be if I could be
anything in the whole entire world. There was a unanimous vote that
I would be a hobo. I thought that I would want to be the king of a
country but, apparently not. According to one friend it was because
"I'd like the freedom."
I learned how to play the harp. Just because. Kind of like how I
tried to teach myself Japanese. Itadakemasu!
Also, I've decided that I won't be an adult until I buy a lint
brush for myself. So, basically I'm just gonna try to put off that
purchase for as long as possible.
I think the world could do with a few less frame stores.
doing things on the fly, being silly, getting bitten by
mosquitos, making faces
at babies, making faces in general, sitting on porches, ping-pong,
charades, blushing, tickling, roughhousing,
thumb wars, making
leaf piles, paper airplanes and
snow angels, getting sunburned, pouring cereal in a bowl, getting
lost, procrastinating, drinking chocolate milk, playing 'Guess
Who?' with strictly hypothetical questions, vacuuming, skipping,
spelling things incorrectly, and forgetting things instantaneously.

my hair is insane.
Also, I punctuate the ends of sentences with facial expressions.
Whether or not they actually correspond to the sentence is
irrelevant.

To what extent am I actually
awkward? What, exactly, does one do with
a degree in art history? Maybe I shouldn't make so many faces, I
mean, some of them are kinda terrible. I really want to spoon. Is
it obvious that I'm trying to flirt? TLC really has some cool
shows. I should probably learn how to cook.
awesome.
I get annoyed when friends eat the curliest of my curly fries.
Because, somehow, those just taste better.
