The celebrating for my 25th birthday starts tonight and goes until Sunday!!
In honor of my 25 years on this crazy planet I'm going to list 25 things I am thankful for.
1)Friends. I know how cliche that sounds. I have some amazing friends that I can count on day and night thru thick and thin. To name a few:
Emilie. We have made the best home videos known to man together. We have a newsletter and songs upon songs we have written together. I love Emilie. I couldn't be more thankful for another human being. (well until I have a husband and kids someday...maybe?)
Jessica has been my best friend since 3rd grade and she truly knows EVERYTHING about me. I can complain to her and she'll set me straight, I can talk to her on my crazy girl days and she'll let me know I'm really not crazy. I can sing Britney Spears into a candle with her. She is truly like family. I love her and I'd be lost without her!
Aaron and I have been best friends since 2001 and he knows me better than I know myself. Although he is completely wrong about color theory he is my panda bear and I love him anyway! We have more inside jokes than anyone I know and talking to him always centers me.
Kayla and I have been best friends starting this year and I am convinced I have gone insane and she's a figment of my imagination. We are the same person. I love our daily chats and our Sam and Lohan double life. She is my little ginger that I can tell anything to!
2) I love my family. Teener included. When I am having a really good day, or a really bad day I always make the rounds and call my mom, my dad, my grandma and talk to my brothers and Teener. We may not have the perfect family, but my family is perfect to me. awwww
3) My health. Overall I have never had any major medical problems.
4) My extended family. I am so thankful that I have an amazing extended family that I am close with.
5) College. Weird thing to be thankful for, but I had to work to get here ( a little behind the game) and I'm paying my own way thru, completely. I really love college and I'm thankful to be in a College that I really like. Now if I could just figure out a major!
6) Ambition. I try to do something I've never done before everyday and I really try to never let fear stop me from doing it, although maybe sometimes it should.
7) Internet TV. I stopped watching tv for a long time and I forgot how much I really like having something to veg out to at the end of the day. I am so thankful that tv shows are on the net now since I don't have a television or cable. I never have to miss any of my favorite shows. (Mad Men, The Office, It's Always Sunny, How I Met Your Mother, 2 and a Half Men, LOST)
8) Youtube. I can't get enough of it! I love watching people's funny home videos and I get so into the meme's on there! Badger badger badger badger snaaaaaaake...
9) The short bus. I don't have a car here in Bloomington and my campus isn't in walking distance by any means. I am so thankful for Betty the bus driver and her daily stories and the free service provided by my college. Even though we almost went down in a blaze of glory the other day. ha!
10) Campus Walk. (my apt building) I have no complaints (other than neighborly noise, which isn't their fault) They pay our gas bill so we stay extra warm in the winter. We are walking distance to anything downtown and we get to live on the south side of campus. (the best side).
11) My cell phone. It's true. I got a new one and I freaking love the thing. It has a touchscreen on the outside and you can flip it open to get a keyboard. I think it does everything but teleport. (I'm still working on that) It's the LG Voyager if you want to check into it. I highly recommend getting it.
12) A certain tall guy and his family. I adore them all. :)
13) Local Hip Hop, MC's, and DJ's. It's the only music I ever want to shake it to and it consumes my weekends. I appreciate their creativity and hard work.
14) Autumn because I love it, and it's my favorite season.
15) Halloween and it's proximity to my birthday.
16) Bluegrass, acoustic, reggae, soul and mountain music. It's soooooooo good. I can't get enough.
17) Pizza, and lots of it with friends.
18) My down comforter. Although it need a duvet cover I know it's going to keep me toasty and comfy this winter. I'm never going to get out of bed.
19) Bloomington, I'm so glad I moved here.
20) care packages, giving and receiving!!
21) blogging, I can keep up with people I can't see and lurk creative peeps.
22) making it thru to 25 without getting any tattoos!
23) my health insurance
24) poptarts, they get me thru long days at school and they have some amazing flavors now.
25) ME!
over and out!
