My Exceptional List

     I am in an exceptional mood today. For the first time in months, I slept in until twelve, I completed my day’s workload over an hour ago, and I’m probably going to the beach tomorrow with one of my closest friends from middle school. Maybe I’m just on an Adderall high, who knows, it definitely wouldn’t be the first or the second time. Frankly, I don’t even care. I’m thrilled about a lot of things right now.

• In less than a month Becky and I will be picking up Jonathan and Ryan from the airport for crazy Orlando adventures, video making, and hotel bathtubbing. Babalon meet-up, say what?

• I’m getting my hair bleached again this month. I won’t feel self-conscious about it anymore.
• I feel cuter everyday because I keep working out and eating right.
• I’ve already read four books during the month of March. I have to read seven more to achieve my goal of beating January’s record of eleven, with plenty of time.
• Proudly, I read Climbing Mount Improbable in a single weekend. When I read Dawkins for the first time last year, it took me months to complete The God Delusion.

• Yesterday, my dad bought me a solar system kit that I’m going to construct today or sometime soon. I finally get to claim that childhood experience. He also shared with me a German book containing really neat science experiments.
• I’ve written a plethora of beautiful metaphors in my “ground zero” notebook that I’m excited to share with everyone.
• I’m undeniably, irresistibly, in love, even if I didn’t want to be.
• Animal Farm (1999) will be arriving tomorrow from Netflix.

• Jonathan’s birthday gifts are in the mail (claims my email from Amazon). I’m excited to wrap them, other secret stuff, “etc.”
• Ryan made me a bad ass signature (full size) for Babalon that has Darwin in it, and one of my favorite, personally held, quotes by Viktor Frankl.

• I’m still laughing at this part of “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” that I watched the other night: “Life on Earth might have been created by lightning, or whatever it was…” Hahahaha! Or whatever it was!?
• My dad is taking me bathing suit shopping tonight. I haven’t felt confident enough to wear a proper bathing suit in over eight years.

• I’m backlogged in emails and comments about COSA18, and although stressful at times because of how guilt-ridden I grow for not responding to everything quickly, I’m proud that people are getting something out of my writing, and that from simply reading my blog, they feel comfortable enough with me to trust me with their personal, innermost thoughts for me to forever cherish. Thanks you guys. I may be a one man wolf pack, but I cannot get over you fellow wolves.
