i hope you're not lactose intolerant cause this post's about to get cheesy.

YOU GUYS.

Big pause as I try to gather my thoughts sorta cause I'm still speechless as a clam, even though a few days has passed since my last post.

Here's the thing: I am so deliciously happy at this exact moment in time.

Like think of the way you feel when you find out that your mom is cooking your favorite dish, now add that to the moment when you find a new song and you play it on repeat on your iTunes, now add in that moment where you go outside and realize that the weather is more or less perfect, now add in that moment where you look at your bod in the mirror and you're like "Yep, I look pretty bangin today," and hell, throw in a few ponies and sparkles and shooting stars (not airplanes though, we're not into that pretending shit, much as we like Eminem, Paramore and BoB) and cut it up with a light saber, stir it up with a fuckin piece of feng shui bamboo and  then package it into a cutey cute little Jones soda bottle with the help of a magic wand made of willow and phoenix feather. And then drink that tasty elixir and bam, that is how I'm feeling right now. Deliciously happy.

The kinda happy that you totally just wanna share!

Here's the biggest tip, and you can take it or leave it: Make a list of things you want to do, pick good friends (not people who you want to be your friends, but your actual, would-hold-your-hair-back-if-you-were-throwing-up friends) who are also spontaneous and carpe diem-y to do those things with, and play music that makes you feel great while you do this. And take pictures.

You guys, after these past 2 weeks, I've become a huge believer in THE LIST. The list that I was talking about in the penultimate post, the 70 or so things that I am going to do before I get shipped off to New Haven. Having a list just a.) always gives you something to do, b.) makes things you want to do more. . .solidified and, c.) makes whatever you do seem that much cooler. It's like what you do is such a greater accomplishment when you can check it off a to-do list.
