I know what you're thinking.
"...Pure Scandanav...what the...who is this girl?!" I know that you roll your eyes in annoyed apprehension of my girlish giggling and chatter. Even now, you try to determine where in the world this title came from, and to whom it was assigned. No, dear readers, this blue-eyed Demigod is not someone I actually know, and in fact, I can't remember his real name. "180 pounds of pure Scandinavian Viking superhero" was the title given to a competitor in the Winter X-Games, which I found myself watching on TV today. The alternate title of this post is "5 of My Favorite Things," but I want to immediately establish that Scandanavian superheroes are not on the list. However, first on the list is:
1. Those hilarious one-liners that pop out at you when you're not really paying attention. You really think I was actively watching the X-Games? Heck no. I was spacing completely, and I tuned in JUST in time to hear the announcer declare some snowboarder "180 pounds of pure Scandinavian Viking superhero." As I watched American Idol yesterday, a Revlon commercial came on that informed me that using Revlon's lipstick would give me "Explosively Sexy Lips." Haaaaahahahahahaha!! Explosively?! Quite the adverb, Revlon. Love it. Also, my physics teacher woke me up in first period today by announcing, "EVERYONE in this room is attracted to you!" Of course he ruined it - "...gravitationally speaking, I mean." I went back to sleep after that, but it WAS funny!
2. Barbeque Sauce. I'm serious. I love it. Close up there with A1 and Ranch, it is an indispensible condiment. And I love it.
3. Redvines. I'll just put this out there right now. I don't care what you think, I don't care how much I still have to learn and grow, and I don't care how much my values and opinions may change. I will NEVER love a mortal man as much as I love Redvines. EVER. I seriously doubt they could be any more delicious.
4. Sitting down for the first time in four hours. One of my coworkers trudged into the boss's office after a long stretch at the register. As he sat down, he let out the biggest sigh of relief, and said, "That.....was AMAZING." He's totally right. It's the best thing ever.
5. Those moments that are just...funny. I sat in AP American History today, listening passively to a lecture, and I heard, behind me and just to the left, a soft but very distinct snore. From directly behind me there came a muffled snicker, and behind me to the right was a bigger one. Back and forth, the giggles grew, until they spread to me and those on my right and left sides. The offending sleepyhead jerked awake to the sound of 10 people laughing quietly, snorted rather loudly and said "Huhmmgmwhat..?" The teacher never strayed from her passionate lecture. She had no idea.
Mind you, these are only five of my long list of things that make me smile. More to come, dear readers, more to come.
