Favorite Things, Vol. 4

Here's what's going on: I, being 16, have limited free time, which is the only time I have to blog, or even to come up with blogging ideas. Sometimes I get inspired in the middle of class, work or a date, but usually I need some down time to expand those ideas and make them into something worth reading. Down time, for me, means I have nothing to do, nothing to freak out about, and nothing significant happening. This hasn't happened to me for a really long time. That being said, I only have time to post more of my Favorite Things, which I force myself to go over every day anyway. I have time to write them down if I've already thought them up. If anyone can guess what all of these have in common, you officially know me the best out of anybody in the world.

16. Mr. Lund. Is this creepy? Am I creepy? I was told by EVERYONE in my life that I would hate physics, judging by my intense disdain for math. "Physics is hard, Dani, are you prepared for that commitment?" "Are you sure you can handle that?" "The teacher is a nut, Dani, you might want to think this over." "Physics? Really?" "Physics is pretty much ALL math, Dani...do you really want to do this?" Can I just say something do the doubters? I LOVE physics! Mr. Lund is an extremely gifted teacher. He's hilarious, and has a way of relating to teenagers, especially when they tend to struggle. I don't know why he likes me as a student, but somehow we get along. Plus, having Sam in two of his classes this year gives him a quirky insight into my personal life. Creepy? Oh well. He's a pretty cool guy.
17. Phil Collins' Tarzan Soundtrack. What breathtaking music! This soundtrack has amazing melodies and phenomenal lyrics. Phil Collins is very versatile in his style, he can basically do anything. Listening to the same exact album, I giggle and laugh and dance and sing at the top of my lungs, but I cry, too. Great messages in the lyrics, and Phil's casual voice is perfect for the songs.
18. Breaking away from routine, once in a while. This morning was the second of three late start days in a row (see Favorite Thing #15). Instead of sleeping in, like I did yesterday, I went to breakfast, and had some heavenly waffles. I was praised and promised a medal of bravery for eating Sam's cooking (seriously, it was waffles. Not hard!), and was laughing to the point of exhaustion before I had even been awake for two hours. That was fun.
19. "Don't dwell on it!" Brilliant advice. When a thought pops into your head that's gonna bring you down, squash it by refusing to think about it. How can you lose that fight if you refuse to let it hurt you?
20. Inside Jokes that make you laugh when NOBODY else has a clue. "I'd like one McGorgeous, extra beefy, extra cheesy, with blue eyes, please. Oh, and could you take off the hat?"
