The time of the year that every college student dreads called the end of the semester (aka finals time), has finally passed and has made way for the most wonderful time of the year (aka stress free Christmas time)! The time of pretty lights and sparking trees, of warm apple cider and sweet minty candy canes. The time of giving…so my gift to you is this lovely blog post…oh no no, no need to thank me, it’s my pleasure. You’re welcome world!
So as you saw on Ninjatuna’s blog post (like 3 posts ago…jeez I’m super duper behind) our newest mission was to think of three things we love and three things we hate. Now I was the one who suggested this topic, and I have to admit that I might have had a harder time thinking of six things than my arch-nemesis Ninjatuna did…I racked my brain looking for just the right six things and went through millions of items in my head.
The possibilities were endless…what in the world should I choose? What do I love? What do I hate?
I do love ice cream… too fattening
I really like tigers… too ferocious
I don’t really like the movie “The Notebook”… too depressing, filed with crying and kinda mean to James Marsden’s character…cause common he was a really really nice guy and can even sing really well. Do you not like men who can sing Rachel Mcadams?! (for examples of beautiful singing please see Hairspray and Enchanted…which are much better movies anyway…hehe...don’t be offended ladies)
ANYWAY
I love Katy Perry…too smoking hot?
I hate burning my tongue…but that’s too painful
I am absolutely in love with Hello kitty…maybe that’s too happy
OH! I reallllly love Sirius Black from the Harry Potter series…but that’s too serious (HAHA see what I did there?)
So after going through every single little option I had in my sweet little brain I have decided on my final six…prepare to be amazed!
Things I love:
1. Books. Reading is by far my favorite pastime probably in the whole wide world. Books are magical to me…they transport me to different worlds, make me feel like different characters, allow me to interact with characters that I can only dream of meeting, and make me experience sights and sound and emotions that are oh so real and wonderful. They’re just pure magic! Though my list of favorite books can just go on and on, I’ll keep going with his theme of “three” and say my tope 3 books: The Shadow of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zaffon (beautifully written...a must read), The Shack by William Young (I’ve written a blog post about a quote from this book...this book will fill you with joy) and Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling (now I like every single Harry Potter book but this is the book that I can read over and over and still be shocked by everything that happens! I gasp, I cry, I dance of happiness…I do it all! ).
2. Cookies. Really must I say more? They taste great with milk and they’re just…pure baked joy! They seem to be especially delicious during Christmas time especially with the assortment of flavors and candies people think of putting in them this time of year! Oh…but I hate raisins in my cookies…yucky!
3. Princess Tiana from the Disney movie The Princess and The Frog. Now this one may seem random and out of place…especially cause it’s a character instead of an object like the other two but let me explain. I love this Disney princess because I feel that she is the first princess that is not sitting on her pretty little butt for a prince to save her, isn’t at all ditzy, and is willing to work hard to get where she wants to be. One of my favorite quotes from any Disney movie come from her movie: “Fairytales can come true, but you’ve gotta make it happen, it all depends on you”. Sure you can have a happily ever after but not without some goals and hard work!
Things I Hate:
1. Cleaning. It isn’t fun.
2. People that are socially awkward or bad listeners (if you’re both it’s doubly bad haha). Okay I don’t HATE this but I just really appreciate people who can be good socially and be good listeners! I like people to hold their own in social situations: this would look like being able to introduce yourself, strike up good conversations, thoughtfully answer questions being asked to you, politely disagree if you do not agree with something said, respond calmly and remain collected, being able to order your own food, not awkwardly giggling or fixing your hair or whatever, and having very good eye-contact. I also love me some good listeners: people who will reciprocate questions being asked to them, who make eye contact while you’re talking and actively nod and affirm what you say, think about what has been said and make thoughtful comments, empathize or sympathize with the person talking and just giving the person talking full 100% of their attention. I am NOT in any way saying that I’m perfect in these areas but I really like people who consciously work on this stuff like I do!
3. Raisins in my cookies...betcha didn’t see that one coming!
So there ya have it:) you’re gift has now been given to you! I hope you sorta enjoy it (even the weird ranting at the end…)
Have a wonderful Christmas…don’t eat too many cookies…especially with raisins in them!
