• Lamenting the superiority of the west coast.
• A garbage truck that comes by my window every morning at 3 a.m.
• Letters to and from all over the place.

• Making eye contact with strangers/wearing sunglasses like it's always bright out, depending on my mood.
• Finding myself in absurd situations with Amanda James.

• Being the token girl with the camera at parties.
• Convincing people to come visit Portland next summer (Lee Falls plans in the works).
• Acquiring a taste for fashion, namely novelties such as hats, glasses, and other accessories.
• Complaining about how broke I am while standing in line at the register.
• Being more motivated to go to the FitRec Center than to take a shower.
• Composing killer riffs in my group beginner piano class (using the headphones, since I'm not working on arpeggios).
• Looking for inspiration for new tattoos.
• Debating which concerts to go to.
• Nagging Colin to come visit.
• Watching the Office three hours earlier than everyone at home.
• Wishing I wasn't asleep when Alli has time to talk.
• Thinking about how Lauren would like everything I'm doing and the people I'm loving.
• Living.
