Things I Like

I can be quite a negative person on this blog. I complain/whine/list off things that could be better. In reality though, I'm generally an optimistic, positive person. SO, to bring some nice things to internetland, here is is....

THINGS I LIKE (note: this list is non-exhaustive, subject to change, and completely subjective.)

1) Music wise, at the moment, I'm particularly into the songs Boston, Super Bass, Candy Candy, and anything by Bon Iver. This isn't to say I don't like any other music (because I like almost any other type of music), these just happen to be the ones I've been listening to a lot lately. Also, I Love You This Big. But that's mostly because I have a secret soft spot for country music and, as you can see if you watch the video, I'm fascinated in HOW SUCH A DEEP VOICE CAN COME FROM SOMEONE WHO LOOKS ABOUT SIXTEEN. (I checked: he's 17. He was most definitely born in 1993. As in, the year after me. Whaaat?)
 
2) Celebrity wise, there are 4 boys who will always have my love: James Franco, Seth Rogen, Matthew Grey Gubler, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (seriously, I first saw him in Angels in the Outfield which used to be about my favorite movie ever). I won't bore you with why, but I'm just saying... these guys are my favorite. Also, due to her recent movies (uhhh Zombieland/Easy A/Crazy Stupid Love to name a few) Emma Stone is my new favorite actress. Like, I'd probably see any movie if she were in the trailer, even just for a second.

3) Small fluffy things. Don't lie. No one goes around saying "Fuck, I hate PUPPIES." No matter what, small fluffy animals will make you smile.

I miss UVic bunnies...

Recently I was at Jericho beach with my family for a family dinner. There are a lot of dogs at Jericho. A lot. Anyways, my sister and I befriended a Boston Terrier. I always thought they were kind of weird, but now I realize that they kind of look like Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch) and, as my sister pointed out, "they just look like they would be really chill if they were a person." So yeah... there's that too.

4) Right now, I'm liking Victoria. It's nice here. And I actually enjoy being back on campus. Also, today I sat in my backyard, in the sun, reading my textbook while little birds flew around the bird feeder in the tree beside me. How can I complain about that?

5) Live music. This summer, I saw Dan Mangan, Said The Whale, and many more (at the Vancouver Folk Fest and Live At Squamish) live. There are few things more enjoyable than good live music. My goal this year is to see more live music. Now that I'm 19, this is slightly easier, and I'm off to a good September start; Hey Ocean is playing at UVic next week, and today I got my Rifflandia ticket for the end of September!

6) Small things. For example, I really really liked canned peaches. Like, a lot. I could probably eat them everyday. This is a pretty small thing in the grand scheme of things, but it's good to remember what small things can make you day a tiny bit better.

Anyways, this has been a fairly general list, but I'm tired now so I'll end it here. Just remember; sometimes it's good to make a list of things you like, or things that make you smile, or people you like seeing. Think about it!
