The life and times...
>>> My loves
I've decided to switch it up a bit today. I'm going to write not about what happened to me today, because nothing eventful really happened to me today. I will say that I talked to Dad last night, and I still think he was being facetious about some stuff. But things are smoothing out. Yay! I did work with Travis today, the incredibly mega-hot guy from 'busco that I haven't worked with in forever. I love working with him because we have so much fun and we get along so well. Anyways, I wanted to write something different today, a list of things that I love. Some are people, some are little things, others are obvious, but all are good. First on my list is God of course. I can't express how much I love him. I struggle with him sometimes, but he always welcomes me back, no matter how bad I mess up. Second is music. I have deep-rooted love of music in me. Something about it is so captivating: the way it flows and glides in the air; how it resonates in your mind; the memories it creates; how each note, each tone, is really a tiny soundwave that comes together with millions of other tiny soundwaves to create a huge symphony of melodies; how a violin becomes so tender, so graceful, so loving when it sings; how the piano can be any mood it wants to be; how Joni Killian can combat the high notes and win every time; how Josh Groban sits on my bed and sings me to sleep every night; how I sit and listen to classical music and I seem to find myself lost in it. Music. It seems to reach into a listener's soul and embrace it like two long lost lovers on Christmas Eve. I could go on forever and ever about music and how wonderful it is. Incredibly mega-hot guys (not just ones from 'busco) that make me smile. Craig Stangland, who is mega-hot, but not incredibly, and I always have innuenduous (I know that isn't a real word) conversations. If you heard us, you would think that we are the two worst people in the world, but we think it's funny, mostly because it doesn't mean anything. Craig makes me smile. Little kids that come through drive thru brighten my day. Some of them think I'm so cool, and grin at me, and then wave, like I'm famous or something. It's great. No, seriously. I don't know how kids do it. Whenever I'm upset at work, one seems to come along at the best possible time and brighten my day. Yay for little kids who make me smile! The smell of popcorn... 'nuff said. Steak... I love steak. It tastes so... steaky. MMMM. I don't know how else to describe it. Specifically, filet mignon. I love how it practically melts in your mouth. Oh, steak. Italian food--breadsticks from Fazolis. I don't care if garlic makes your breath smell bad. I don't care. It's worth it. Food. MMMM. I love surprises. I hate it when I ruin surprises that people have for me. I wish I wouldn't do that. I love waking up at six in the morning and realizing that I don't have school. Sleep is good. I love it when someone says, "I love you," or "I miss you," and they really mean it. I love kisses on the cheek. A kiss on the cheek is something special between two people. Everything about it shows pure affection and adoration, and gives the reciever a warm, fuzzy feeling inside that no other thing can compare to. It's like getting Christmas presents all year round. I love slow dancing, but only if the person I'm dancing with knows what they are doing. If you just stand there and sway, it's no fun. Me, I have always had my uncles on my mom's side. I learned the art of slow dancing from them. Robin is working on perfecting it. Someday we'll take dance classes together and be the greates pair on Broadway. I can see it now: the next Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, or Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Oh, Fred makes my heart melt. I love old MGM Musicals. It seemed to capture a time when people knew how to really perform. Fred Astaire was the bomb diggity of his day. Gene Kelly was cool, but Freddy... he knew how to dance. People like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby knew how to sing. Where did this talent run off to? I realize there are a few today who are keeping the tradition alive. But mostly it's Brittney Spears taking her clothed off. Now, come on... honestly, anyone can do that. I wish there were still talent out there like the oldies. I could go on and on about things I love. The list is endless. I will probably add more later. For now, this will have to do. posted by Teresa Ulrich @ 10:03 p.m. on December 06, 2004 |
