Favorites Entry 1

   
     Today's the day. Today's the day I start this whole new series. Let's Roll.

     First of all, I'd like to add that the rules that have previously been posted will continue to be tweaked as this series finds it's place. In light of that, I'd like to do this every month. There's just no way I can do this every week.


     So, here goes, folks.


(1) My Typewriter

     Yes, folks, I have a typewriter. You probably know this because I'm sure I've mentioned it before...have I? I really can't remember. but anyway, here it is, my lovely typewriter...

     I usually just write poetry on it, because it's very tedious to write out much anything else. Poetry is fast and simple...and I love writing it. If I could make a living by being a poetess, I'd do it.



(2) Joel the Lump of Coal

     Guys, if you haven't seen this and loved it, then I don't know what to think about you. No, seriously. This is my new favorite Christmas song. My brother showed this to me and I pretty much just freaked out over how much I love it.

(3) To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

     I've read this book more than once, but amidst my my stack of books I have yet to read, I decided it was time to pull it out and read it one more time! This book really never gets old to me. If you've never read it, you really, really should.



(4) Square One by Coldplay

      I'm guessing that, unless you're a hardcore Coldplay fan (like myself), you've probably never even heard this song. I've probably heard it a million times, but last night I took the time to listen to the lyrics for a moment. This is just a song about truth, about wanting to have a voice, but sometimes we've got so much inside and nobody to listen...We're stuck on, well, we're stuck on square one.

"From the top of the first page,

To the end of the last day...

From the start in your own way,

You just want somebody 

listening to what you say.

It doesn't matter who you are,

It doesn't matter who you are."

     Some moments I feel exactly this way, and somehow it makes me feel better that somebody else also feels the same way. I am human after all.

    What are some of your favorite things as of late?!  

An Announcement of Sorts

    Hello, my 5.2 followers! I'm going to be doing a new thing, so brace yourselves.

    Each week, I'm planning to write a blog post about my favorite things of the week (Books, movies, any random item I find around the house, maybe a lost puppy abandoned on the street?). I might just end up doing it every other week, or even every month because, I mean, c'mon, this is me we're talking about after all. My life is rather mundane at the moment which means new favorites things are hard to come by...

   Here are the rules for myself...because rules for myself are so important to you, but also because it's kind of important that you do know the rules or else you might be confused...or maybe not...I really have no way of telling. (Aaaaaand my famous rambling continues.)
   
    Rule one--The "things" have to tangible things. I mean, I can't say "My favorite thing this week was hanging out with my bestie." because I want the "things" to be something that you can also acquire...if you desire. (Heyyyy, that kind rhymes! Excuse me while I high five myself...)

     Rule two--I cannot have more than six favorite things each week/other week/whenever, really. I'm not going to be all Maria Von Trapp and say "A few of my favorite things" when there are really more than just a few. I would, however like to remind you that I do love Maria...

     Rule three--"Things" cannot be repeated back to back. They can, however, be repeated because(let's be honest) we do enjoy a good book, movie, or whatever numerous times. At least, I do.

    That's right, three rules. I am just so organized.

    Anyway, I'm planning to start this sometime early next week (Monday or Tuesday?). I hope you're looking forward to this as much as I am! I can't wait to show you all of my favorite things!
