Things

• Yesterday morning, I brewed a large mug of coffee and brought it into work. When I left in the evening, I picked up the mug to take it home with me, and it was heavy and full. My first thought was that something strange had happened. My second thought was that I had filled it up with water and forgotten. My third thought was to realize that I'd forgotten to drink the coffee I'd brought in, despite having gone for a coffee run in the morning and having thought to myself--Should I get ANOTHER cup of coffee, seeing as I drank one already this morning? This seems to be the theme of my week somehow.



• If I knew it wouldn't scare strangers or give them the wrong idea, I think I'd kiss a lot of people I don't know on the cheek just for making my heart feel warm inside.



• New on my list of "Things That Make Me Want to Sit People on My Lap and Pet Their Hair": when people keep staring at you from across a room but try to incorporate neck-stretching and other weird activities into the staring so it's not so obvious even though it makes it moreso. It's dastardly cute and makes me wanna squish them.



• I have never talked so much about the smell of things around anyone as I have around PTB who can't smell a damn thing. It weirds me out, as I only seem to feel compelled to talk about the smell of things when I'm around him, no other time.



• It makes me happy to listen to people who clearly and joyously love to play music, even if they sing disasterously out of tune and/or wear sweaters in 80-degree weather.



• It is hard to feel like crap when you're petting a puppy.



• It is also hard to feel like crap while listening to Rufus Wainwright's "Instant Pleasure."



• "What on earth is going on in my heart?"--David Gray
