tendencies...

I've been thinking a lot about tendencies lately. According to Dear Ol' Webster, a tendency is an inclination, bent, or predisposition to something (a tendency to talk too much). But I'd just like to add "over and over" to the end of that definition and make it my own.

I have the tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again. 

I love how tendencies are different to each person, I know of plently of people who have the tendency to talk before they think, who spit when they talk, who laugh way too loud, who smile when everythings going wrong, who turn heads without even trying. Which got me wondering what my tendencies are...

I have the tendency to buy ice cream every time I go to Foodland.

I have the tendency to listen to the same 5 songs for a whole semester.

I have the tendency to worry too much about the little things. 

I have the tendency to cry... a lot.

I have the tendency to fall for guys who just got out of serious relationships (not excluding marriage).

I have the tendency to feel like I'm missing out.

I have the tendency to want to read only when I have a million other things to do. 

I have the tendency to date douche bags because sometimes I dont feel like I deserve the ones who have it all together. 

I have the tendency to have a gazillion hobbies.

I have the tendency to fall asleep anywhere.

I have the tendency to coo over babies.

I have the tendency to have random bursts of excitement or hyperness.  

I have the tendency to smile to try and smooth over a situation. 

I have the tendency to think way too much. 

I have the tendency to write random blog posts about tendencies.

 

go girl...

throw your sticks and stones

throw your bombs and blows

but you're not gunna break my soul

still believe...

why am i the one...

  "So darlin' if you love me, would you let me know?"

..."Or go on go on go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come."

"For once for once for once, I get the feeling like I'm right where I belong."

..."Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?"

take me away...

Cause for celebration!!!

 

I wrote my first song for piano this week

Working 40hrs with no classes leaves a lot of free time

So I sat myself down, the other day, in front of the keys and went at it

It's not written about anybody in particular

Just me playing around

Anyways I was so excited, I told my friend Adam

Who insisted on recording it with GarageBand on his iPad

So we did and now I'm even more stoked about it

I made it into a lyric video with cheesy pictures

So I could share it with my family

And I thought I'd share it with you too

Hope you enjoy!

for this is love...

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil. 

-Robert Frost

A Prayer in Spring

let your mind wander...

If you want to know where your heart is 

look to where your mind goes when it wanders.

one of those days...

Today is just one of those days...

One of those days where everything is perfect!

Finals are over

I got 91% on a paper I pulled an all-nighter last week to write

The best all-nighter of my life

This time tomorrow I will be in Maui

and summer will have officially begun

 A summer that has a plan and direction

and you know how much I love plans

Not to mention I'm not taking classes until July

No blasted homework for 3 months!

This.is.Bliss.

thankful

Some days I feel like this:

...but then I remember that I live here...

...and I remind myself to be thankful.
