It's nerdy.
And it's fun.
And that's all I have to say at the moment.

July 30, 2012: Proprioception
Proprioception is the body's ability to sense where it is in space.
This is what allows you to be able to give yourself a high five with your eyes closed.
This is what allows you to catch something you knocked over/dropped before it hits the ground.
Proprioception.
Tell your friends.

July 29, 2012: Fruity Drinks
Grape juice, apple juice, orange juice, cran-apple juice, juice, juice, juice.
YUM.
YUM.

July 28, 2010: Natural Teachers
Some people teach, even when they don't mean to.
And those people are the people that I really learn from. The ones who don't even know they're teaching, sometimes.

July 27, 2012: New Dances
More specifically, Hip-Hop.
I had my first taste of it today, and oh my dear Splinda Rapuccinni, that was fun.

July 27, 2012: High messy buns
They are perfect for the hot summer days when you are too lazy to make any sort of effort to look good.

When a kid is messy, sticky, and otherwise adorable, it's just cute and nice and happy and stuff.

July 25, 2012: Glockenspiels
Many a good song has been made great by the presence of the joyous sounds of a glockenspiel.

July 24, 2012: Beautiful Music Surprises
"Surely, there is no way that this song could be made better than it already is," I thought.
I thought wrong.
The Boxer, by Simon and Garfunkel, was just redone and was at least equalled, if not improved by a small smidgen.
This my friends/readers, is what I am grateful for today.
Yes. It did bring tears to my eyes the first, second, third, and fourth times I heard it.

July 23, 2012: Unorganized Stacks of Paper
Part of the fun of being a generally unorganized person is trying to organize things.
When one is going through a stack of completely unrelated pieces of paper, it's much more fun and enjoyable than if one is going through a stack of papers that all have to do with the same boring problem/subject/thing.

July 22, 2012: Realizations
You know those moments when you suddenly realize something that should have been completely obvious to you, but wasn't?
And as soon as you figure it out, it changes the way you live?
Yes.
Those are good moments.

July 21, 2012: Kinda Sunny Days (Happy Girl)
Those days where you sit outside with your laptop and it's kinda sunny but there's some clouds so you're not too hot, but it's not overcast, so you don't feel gloomy inside.
You feel just right.
You feel just right.
July 21, 2012: Good Neighbors
There is a story behind this post.
But I won't tell it.
Not because I want to be annoying or enigmatic, but because it's personal.
Let's just say bad things can happen to good people, and it's at those times when people like me gain respect for those who shine through as examples of good men.

July 20, 2012: Kind Bank Tellers
Today I went to the bank.
By myself.
For the first time.
And I had absolutely no clue what I was doing.
Luckily, the bank teller lady was very nice and helped me through the whole process. I am ever so appreciative of this woman's overflowing helpful attitude and generosity.
Thank you, bank teller lady.
I owe you one.

July 19, 2012: People Who Decline
Today, I got to thinking. If everyone went to everything they were invited to, life would be nothing short of utterly insane.
Thank you, everyone who has told me no over the years.
I really appreciate it.

July 18, 2012: Spacecraft
The fact that mankind has the capability of going to space is kind of insane.
And incredibly awesome.
One of the best things I ever did as a youngster was go to Space Camp in Kansas.
This place is wonderful.
If ever you're on a road trip and you happen to be driving through whatever area it's in, go to the museum they've got. Because they have everything.
The museum takes you through the journey the human race went through to end up in space. It starts in WWII, with missiles the Germans had started to use.
It goes through the Cold War, through the Space Race, and into the moon landing.
They have Apollo 13. THE Apollo 13.
Not some replica. The real deal.
They have the Mercury Bell, which was lost at the bottom of the ocean for years.
They have rocket ships.
Oh, and they have one of these babies sitting in the lobby.

July 17, 2012: Free Food
"Ugh, I can't finish this."
"Instead of throwing it away, why don't you give it to me?"
"Okay. Here."
"Thanks. OMNOMNOMNOMNOM..."
Food, my friends, is wonderful.

July 16, 2012: Crazy, Televised Driving
It's both fun to watch in movies and the like, and a joy to do in the imaginary realm of video games.
It can be quite funny, sometimes. I especially enjoy watching English people drive on the wrong side of the road, so I can chortle quietly to myself and say "Oh, those silly British people. They drive on the wrong side of the road."

July 15, 2012: Notes (iPhone app)
The next time you steal someone's iPhone, instead of being a dork with it, leave them a nice surprise in Notes.
I promise it'll make you feel good, and it'll make them happy too, probably.

July 14, 2012: Ranch Dressing
Delicious.
And I have it to thank for helping me end up with the best friend anyone could have.
But this post isn't about her.
That will come later.

July 13, 2012: Forgiveness
People can do really dumb things. Things that hurt other people.
I've done dumb things.
But there's one dumb thing in particular that still haunts me.
The person who I hurt, however, has forgiven me.
And I cannot even begin to describe to you how appreciative I am of that.

July 12, 2012: Nights Off
People have things to do.
People have work, school, and everything else in the world to occupy their time and drive them insane (slowly, and over time).
Every once in a while, people need to take a break.
YOU.
Take a break.
And leave your cell phone, iPod, etc. BEHIND YOU.
For one night.
It'll be nice.
Believe me.
I'm grateful for nights off. They keep me sane.

July 10:
Delicious, messy, seedy, juicy, yummy....
July 11:
FREEDOM!
AND SAFETY! AND THE CAPABILITY TO SING AS LOUDLY AS YOU WANT WITHOUT JUDGMENT!

Not only are they a stylish accessory, but they are also used as a mirror, or simply something to cover your retina's to prevent them from burning out.

July 8, 2012: Staple Removers
To be quite honest, I was rather frightened the first time I saw a staple remover.
It looked dangerous.
Scary.
But after a little bit of time, I realized just how useful they can be.
Which is very useful. On really random days.
Other days, they're completely useless.
But I'm still grateful for them, because if I didn't have the on the days I needed them, I would be in a bind.

July 7, 2012: Pearls
A boring grain of sand goes from being a nuisance to being a beautiful nuisance.
I'm sure there's a good lesson in there somewhere, for which I am very grateful.

They may have atrocious accents.
They may listen to country music.
They may wear interesting hats.
But...
They play guitar real good.
They wear some dern good-looking boots.
And they are great when stuck in musicals.

It's crunchy, it's buttery, it's delicious, and it's ridiculously unhealthy.
What's not to love about popcorn?

July 1, 2012: Honesty
Life is so much easier to live when one is open and honest about who they are.
I really appreciate the times in my life when my friends have been truthful with me about their lives, and what they think of what I've been doing.
That's all I'm going to say for now.
Because, honestly, I'm quite hungry at the moment and would like to get something in my stomach before I start getting grumpy.
Love you all, my dear readers (if there indeed any readers)!
