It's Late & I'm Tired

I think humans are fascinating. One moment we can love someone with all our being, the next moment we "break up" and never speak to the person again. It works the other way, too. We can never know someone our entire lives and then, when we meet them, our world is consumed by them. I wonder if animals are like that. Or insects. I bet animals and insects aren't as shallow and selfish as we are.

Sometimes I try and imagine what kind of personalities inanimate objects would have, like the couch or the dinning room lamp. I even wrote a short story about a conversation between a lamp and a couch, and it gave me a new perspective on things.

But anyway.

What was I talking about before the inanimate objects thing? Oh yes. Humans. I think we're pretty (excuse my language) fucked up things. We're so selfish and greedy and proud. In conversation, we always try and put ourselves in the best possible light, and we lie for the stupidest, most useless things ("Have you ever seen that movie?" "Yeah, it was sooo funny.") We pretend to love someone, or hide that we love someone, and we hurt others to protect ourselves. I would be lying if I said I never did that.

But here comes the weird part. I truly believe it's these horrible attributes that helps make us beautiful.

New Word

Came across a new word that I like a lot and I felt like sharing it:

sanguine:

adjective: confidently optimistic and cheerful
adjective: inclined to a healthy reddish color often associated with outdoor life

I rather like the first definition. I think it describes me =]

XOXO, Dani

Cupcakes, Cell Phone Charms and Coats from Korea

HAPPY MARCH FIRST EVERYONE! =D

No amount of words can accurately describe how excited I am for this month! My family from Texas is coming over to California on the 13th for our grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary, and let me tell you, good times are ahead. In February, I passed the days in anticipation until I looked at my calender and found March was already upon us! Yay! Haha. This morning I woke up with a giant smile on my face, ready to begin the countdown until their arrival.

Since I was in such a good mood, I sat down with a few freshly baked cupcakes (yes, a few) and decided to write a new blog post to try and spread my happiness. Today was a great day (I HAD CUPCAKES!), so why not?

But then, as I started to write, it got better.

I heard rustling by my front door, and decided to check it out. While I was pretty sure it was just the mail man, I wasn't expecting what he would be bringing. My coat, which I ordered from ebay, finally arrived from Korea! As if that didn't make things better, as I furiously opened up the packaging, a small, green ,plush dolphin cell phone charm fell out! It's so cute, I couldn't help but "Awww" as I inspected it. Haha. After I tried on my coat (it fits great!) and put on the cell phone charm, I sat back down to begin this post.

And so... here it is! Haha. I know this was probably very boring to read, and yes, the smallest of things make me ridiculously happy, but I figured I'd write about it anyway. I'll post up pictures of my coat and the cell phone charm (the cupcakes are gone O_o) soon.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

EDIT: Just found out about the next Harry Potter movie!!! Gahhh!!!! Haha. So excited! asdfgjkl;!!!!


XOXO, Dani
