The Simple Things

Simple Things That Have Brought Me Pleasure in the Past Few Days:

Champagne with fresh berries. I took my LSATs and then went and had a mental breakdown. None of us (Mo, B, and myself) were feeling particularly festive, but we figured that really ought not keep one from indulging in champagne. And if you have fresh strawberries and blackberries to throw in there, then all the better.

Going for walks in the middle of the night. If you ever feel the need to clear your head, talk to someone about something, or just have to think something through, a walk is always fantastic. I'm always most honest when I'm moving. I make lots of important decisions and conclusions while on hikes and jogs.

Hearing someone say they've missed you. I'm not one who feels compelled to always verbalize my emotions. I can even come off as a bit cold if you don't know me well enough. But I have to say, though I don't think I responded appropriately (I smiled and surely blushed, but as we were on the phone there's no way to see that), it's stuck with me and still makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Finding the perfect music for a silly computer game.
Bejeweled2+Architecture in Helsinki=Awesome. I haven't listened to Architecture in Helsinki for ages and just randomly decided upon it as I was playing Bejeweled last night (after having my warm and fuzzy converstaion: see above). As the music began to play I had to double take to remember that it was coming from my iTunes and not the game itself.

Getting up early to workout with a good friend. I used to get up between 6 and 6:30 every morning to work out but as I haven't had any need to be anywhere early these days I've taken to lying in. Though I apparently wanted to snooze when my alarm went off at 6:30 this morning (I thought I turned it off, but low and behold I heard it going off from all the way down on the first floor...oops) it was great to get out and get going. I felt so accomplished!

Ahhhh, life's simple pleasures.
