Things that make me happ-EEEEE!
In random order:
1. Bear hugs
2. Lollipops (especially the ones sold in line at Wal-Mart or Bed Bath & Beyond (lol) that have funky flavors like peanut butter & jelly and pina colada, they are so GOOD!)
3. Music - anything and everything about it. Watching my ever so talented friends make music. Listening to a good song that makes you FEEL something. Singing my heart out in the shower...
4. ART - try finding art in everything you see, because I do!
5. Deep conversations about life
6. When I have random conversations with people I don't know. EX. Today at work I had a conversation with this lady in the bathroom while I was trying to wipe off the food I spilled on my clothes. She was telling me how that always happens to her because she likes to eat in her car while driving to work. Then she told me she could barely notice the stain, and wished me a good day. <-- HUMAN CONNECTIONS, on every level make me happy
7. Learning new ideas
8. Playing with my nephew :)
9. Helping people that are lost, and people who help me when I'm lost
10. CATS! I love cats
11. The internet!! When I was little I used to think that traffic lights were the best invention EVER. Now, I'm pretty sure the internet is ten times cooler
12. The jokes on popsicle sticks - they always make me laugh!
13. Home cooked meals (haven't had one of those in a while)
14. When I see, give, and feel: passion, inspiration, and love
15. The smell of sprinklers when they water the grass
16. When people (ok mainly my mom) send me funny emails
17. When I see other people that are happy!
BE HAPPY!!! It sounds SO SIMPLE.....and I think it is, but as humans we always like to complicate things. Even if you think you're having the worst day in your life, just remember those little things that make you happy and consciously choose to BE happy. As a happy person, you will attract other happy people into your life. I feel like this is where I'm at in life right now - with the right people at the right time. Truly Blessed!

PROP 8 - good read!
My very awesome friend D made an amazing post about prop 8 which is everything I started to say in my previous post but didn't have the energy to do so. READ IT, all of it!!! I'm sure it'll give you a different perspective on the fight for gay rights -

I think it's the Aquarian in me, but I have so much passion for radical change and humanitarian efforts. I'm trying to reason how I could accomplish this while still maintaining the prestige and status that my parents 'expect' of me. I want to find a career in grassroots organizing. But I know that doesn't pay shit. I'm totally fine with that - but I'd be lying if I said I was fine with having my parents (ok, my dad) be disappointed in me that I didn't follow through with my dream as an attorney. So as of RIGHT NOW, I realized that I am going to have to sell my soul to corporate America for a couple years in the legal field in order to gain that prestige and power that is NEEDED 1) for my parents and 2) in grassroots political action. Because let's face it - those couple letters after your name, whatever they may be (PhD, PsYD, JD, MA, MS) gives you the leverage needed for change. THIS IS THE PLAN and I need to stop deviating from it because it makes me so goddamn anxious thinking about post-undergraduate life.
ANYWAY, I hate Beyonce. And I hate the radio. Please listen to her new song "If I were a Boy" and tell me how retarded she is for agreeing to use her talented voice on such crappy lyrics. I'm not even gonna go into some in-depth lyrical analysis because it's not deserving! I'll probably be even more heated once I watch the music video to this song. Ugh.....stay tuned.
