The Sad Truth About This Blog

Hardly any pictures. The problem is, I don't have a camera, and I never take the initiative to save up for big things like that. I really want to have my whole life documented and posted here so all can see how interesting my days are. I suppose I'll have to be really clever with my words to attract people, despite a nagging need for pretty, colorful images. I'll jump right in now. Hopefully I get into a sort of habit of writing and posting here.

Here's a stream-of-consciousness list of stuff I enjoy:


Alfred Hitchcock
Mowing patterns in the grass
Squishing those foamy-like earplugs and watching them expand
Looking at huge trees
Harry Potter
Driving with my specific selection of music on
Playing piano with no one around
Performing my music for my friends and family to hear
Ben Folds
Live Concerts
Playing with my ears (I fold them up and stick them in to the ear hole...then they like, pop out. I control that by wiggling them. It's crazy, but amazing, really.)
Nat
John Maxwell
Katie
My mom
My hall at college
Getting a boost off of coffee
Being individual
Entertaining people
Pleasing people
Camping
Sticking my hair up, getting it cut
Itching my poison ivy
Making this clicking noise on the backside of my hand by tapping my finger slits with the fingers of my other hand (do habits count as enjoyment?)
Babies
Reading Romans, Proverbs, Psalms, the end of John
Talking to God (another sort of habit thing, actually)
A clear conscience
My twin
Writing
Taking a shower and getting all clean-shaven
Making beats on the table top
Drawing things like: birds, mailboxes, lamps, houses, peoples' portraits
Art exhibits
Beethoven's piano music
Bach
Elliot Smith (he's like Ben Folds...except his voice is way different, he plays guitar instead of piano, and his songs are considerable more apathetic.)
"Paranoid Android" by Radio Head
OK Computer in general
Borders!
Scanning in CDs and listening to music at Borders
Looking at all the endless reading possibilities but hardly ever purchasing anything at Borders
You've Got Mail
Comic books
My bed
My pillow
My other pillow
Holding a pillow between my legs when I sleep
Getting WAY too personal
Being treated like I'm not insane
Being insane
Running on and on with my words
Writing letters
Being constructive with letters, and just generally
Getting replies back from letters (!)
Getting prayers answered
Thanking God for all the wonderful things He's granted me in my life
Not having to take myself seriously
Not having to deal with myself but just love people
Learning from God
Writing out my thoughts so I feel less anxious about certain things
Nice jeans
Comfortable T-shirts (the real worn-out kind, with holes on the tops of the shoulders.)
Carson Blair and his abode
Matt Brown's company
Sam Belz's presence
Getting an A on a paper
Walking outside when it's raining and storming like Tyler Chatburn when he's sweating and Tyler Chatburn when someone's trying to mess with him
Being WARM when it's raining and storming like you know what^^. Otherwise, like if it's cold and I'm cold, that's not so fun
Going to sleep


And that's what I'm gonna go do now.

Hi, Jeremy, thanks for stopping by my blogger blog. I love all things Howardish, so thanks for "introducing" yourself. I don't do much with blogspot besides use it for commenting on Howard blogs. My real place is over at How to Disappear Completely.

Nice place you got here yourself.

Cheers,

~Sarah Funke
