Sleep to Dream
I attempt to think of you as I drift off to sleep each night. There’s just one problem. Thinking of you is not conducive to sleep. Thinking of you is like a shot of adrenaline straight into my bloodstream. My heart beats faster, each individual breath coming quickly now. My brain begins to spin, running to win a marathon. Planning. Scheming. Hoping. And eventually, dreaming.

Of Rainy Days and Rainbows
The steady drip of rain against roof and windows for the past three days is really soothing. There’s just something about the rain that is inspiring in the best kind of way. Sometimes gently drifting, falling in wind-swayed curtains like the leaves of a weeping willow. Or maybe it’s angry rain, pounding relentlessly on everything within reach, fighting a vendetta of unknown origin...

Day 16 of 30: Tell about the happiest day of your...
Shit, once again it is well past the end of my 16th day. Can we just go with the idea that since I have not gone to sleep yet my day is still not technically over? Ok good, thanks.
I’m actually going to use my pass card on this one. I do not have one, single “happiest day”. That is utter crap. If I only had one truly happy day in my entire life thus far, one day that stood out...

Victory over Evil (a.k.a. my Parents)
I feel so underappreciated in my own home sometimes. Today, for example, my dad walks in the door after just coming home from work. The first thing he says to me? Ha! You thought it was “hi, I’m home” didn’t you? No, he walks past my semi-messy room which is probably immaculate compared to other rooms I have seen and he says “God, haven’t you done anything...

Coyote Creek
My house stands in front of a big concrete ditch that is used as a water drainage channel. It’s not very pretty, but in an attempt to make it more natural someone had the bright idea to name it Coyote Creek. The creek part probably comes from the fact that there is always a trickle of water running down the middle of it. I’m sorry did I say water? It’s actually more like...

Day 15 of 30: Post a t.v. show that makes you...
For the answer to this challenge see the response for the previous day’s challenge. Hint: The answer is Castle, but if you want to know why you will have to check for yourself because quite honestly I am too lazy to type it again. I also love the show Fringe, but that show only makes me smile occasionally because its more serious, intense, and scary.

Empathetic Unhappiness
Can I just mention here that I really dislike books that don’t have happy endings. Yes, I know they aren’t realistic. So what? I’m reading a damn fiction book, it’s not supposed to be realistic and I don’t expect it to be. That is the point of reading. I read to escape the world around me, to immerse myself in the fantasy of another character’s life. If I wanted...

Day 13 of 30: Post a movie that makes you happy.
One word. Up. This movie is pure genius. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it makes me sound like a cheesy movie review. The funny thing is, when I first saw promotions for this movie I thought it looked like the stupidest thing in the world. The only thing the first commercials (and posters like the one above) showed was a house floating through the sky by way of zillions of baloons. It...

Preschool Love is the Best Kind of All
The post that I would really like to write at the moment is not going to happen. I have this strange phobia/superstition about writing specific things about my current crushes in which I am terrified that said crush will somehow KNOW that I am talking about him. Even the most vague sentences like the preceding one I just wrote freak me out, but I’m gonna be brave and leave it there. Since I...

First off, I feel the need to explain the reason why I am posting this a full two hours after my eleventh day passed. Frankly, it’s because I was spending my entire day creating happy moments. No, of course not specifically so that I would have something to write for this day’s challenge! I do have a life outside of tumblr you know (I hope I didn’t just commit...

Day 9 of 30: Post a site that makes you happy. →
This site just cracks me up everytime I look at it. Basically, people send in messages set up as very short letters about things they observe or are annoyed by. Some of the people are really creative, for example:
Dear Icebergs, Sorry to hear about the global warming. Karma’s a bitch. Sincerely, The Titanic.
Check it out! If you can’t find at least one post that makes you giggle then...

Imprisoned Ideas
So many ideas running around in my overcrowded and overactive imagination. They are screaming to be let out, but I’m afraid I’ve misplaced the key. The door is shut and locked, but that doesn’t stop the ideas from forming. Oh no, they breed like rabbits. They have no place to escape to, though, and in desperation they bang on the inside of my skull. Begging, pleading. How I wish...

Bittersweet Crushes
I’ve decided that having a crush is the most bittersweet feeling I have ever experienced. Sweet: The warm and fuzzy feelings that he inspires in me. The constant daydreaming about the possibilities and weaving of fantasies to get me through the day. The slightest, most stupid, and insignificant interactions that are closely examined and analyzed for possible hidden intentions. The...

This one was hard because there are zillions of songs that I love and that have so many good memories attached to them. I finally decided on Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” because it is literally the ONLY song I have EVER been able to completely relate to seeing as I have never been in a relationship. So many songs are about being in love or breaking up. They are...

I don’t normally save texts for very long because they take up room and I see it as clutter, but there is one that I received from a friend of mine that I actually did save. I received this text on Thanksgiving at 8:16 a.m. If you don’t know me already, let me just tell you that I am not the happiest person in the early morning, especially when I don’t have to be awake. So...

My I-Pod has Psychic Powers
Sometimes I treat my ipod like a magic 8 ball. I ask it a question and then press next on my shuffle, whichever song comes up is the answer to the question. I just asked my ipod what my life story is and it came up with Nsync’s “I Just Wanna Be With You”. Damn, you scare me sometimes ipod.

My Professor is an Oxy-MORON
Today in my poetry class my professor was talking about a poem called “High Windows” by Philip Larkin. This poem discusses the different lifestyles of two different generations; old and new. While discussing how premarital sex used to be rare and completely taboo, the professor made this statement: “People get married because they want to have sex together.” Um, excuse me,...
