Ok. I like lists. just in general. I like making them, crossing them off, helping people make them, countdowns, top 100's...i love them all. I have no idea why, except for maybe the fact that i walk the line of being "type a and type b" pretty hard but i feel that perhaps I stumble more on to the type a side.

and that, my friends, was a big old run on, but i don't care because it's the weekend.

But, who am i kidding, my whole life is a weekend right now and as we speak i am struggling to not spill my smores blizzard all over my face.

also, my face is real sunburned. I am a real live hottie currently and can't be tamed.

i digress. but really, what else is new. I've been pretty angsty lately, and not without good reason, but it can be a bit of a buzzkill. So instead of processing my life for the whole Internet to read. (haha just kidding....no one reads this....except for like randoms in Germany.....here's a list of things that i love, that make me happy, and that are just random....so...in no particular order.....

1. S'mores blizzards. I'm not even kidding...the combo of marshmallow and graham cracker....i can't even. so good.
