A Lot of My Favorites

I'm sure I've done this before, but I'm not sure if I've done this here. I figured if it's something that I did do, but for the life of me can't remember when I did it...well I'll just do it again thinking I haven't done it yet.

Obviously, I spend a lot of time thinking too much into things. It's who I am and it's quite impossible to change this overnight. I'm not going to stray too far from my own reality. Let's not be silly. However, with this attempt at trying to be a "New Me," wait...let me rephrase this: An "Improved Me," I am going to focus more of my attention on what makes me happy. So with that, I've decided to create a new blog about a few of my favorite things. Until then, let me start by listing them:

Tori Amos and Betty Boop! Alright enough with the obvious, in no particular order here's more...

Tabasco (not Tapatio!), spicy vinegar, Equal, Starbucks (not their house blended coffee although I love coffee), big ceramic mugs, pictures and picture frames, sorting through memory boxes, my Lumix camera, my iPod, blue Papermate pens, my sterling silver infinity bracelet from NC, black tea leaves, the scent of Eucalyptus, loofahs, Bath and Body Works' Stress Relief and Mentha Lip Shine, coconut-mango candles from Anthropology, mood rings, journals, stationary, Hallmark cards, handwritten letters, iced tea, lots of ice, Vanilla creamer, foam, Ikea Produkt cordless milk frother/foamer whip latte, mermaids, the Gemini zodiac sign (not just cuz I'm a Gemini), Astrology, my Target ring and gold "name" necklace, Target, Ross, texting smiley faces, Minnetonka sandals, Manolo Blahniks, my Manolos, Heaven from GAP, Shiseido day moisturizer, my gray Coach bag, HBO's Sex and the City series, Disney's Classical Princesses, Alice in Wonderland, and Sword in the Stone movies, the LA Lakers, 80's music and cult classics (not the style!), blue tulips, See's blueberry truffles, the color blue, my quick-drying hair wrap, Degree shower clean deodorant, maximum strength Midol Complete, fresh linens, a decorated Christmas tree, Christmas lights, Winter, my "ol' reliable" black jacket from Eddie Bauer (is this store still open?), Precious Moments figurines, Love Is cartoons in the LA Times, tea sets, round teeth hair clips, 1950's era, vintage shoes, pretty much anything vintage and mostly every type of shoe, Milano cookies, Fig Newtons, granola bars, long fuzzy socks, Loreal liquid black eyeliner, all kinds of carbs (bread, pasta, rice), cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, apple pie, cantaloupes, Jack in the Box's hot sauce, World's Finest Chocolate bars with almonds, a cold can of Dr. Pepper, museums, indie movies, the smell of popcorn (but not eating it), pillows, flush blankets, lighters, friendship bracelets, glass bottles, the sound of shattering glass, rain (before, during, and after), fluffy clouds, fortune cookies, spaghetti noodles, Salonpas, tattoos, musicals, Broadway theatres, Calligraphy, water colors over canvas, A Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, bookmarks, bookstores (but not necessarily reading books), antiques, boutiques, Red Vines, cashews, personalized gifts, comfy pjs, Q-Tips, mani/pedis, deep tissue massages, candlelight, romantic gestures, angels, female protagonists, indie female singers, attending conventions, ice cream, chopsticks, ginger, my burgundy peasant top from Urban Outfitters...You get the idea.

This list actually took time to write and may actually grow, but for now it provides a sneak peek for what's yet to come on my next blogging adventure! So, thank you Julie Andrews for your inspiration:



Lyrics:

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things!

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things!

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring
These are a few of my favorite things!

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember
my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad!

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
!

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
