I haven't posted in a while, so here's a few:

~When it starts to rain all of a sudden and people all just kind of freak out, running for cover and stuff

~Clementines

~Going to art supply shops and getting new paints (This is one of my favorite things ever!)

~Sunshine on lakes, swimming in lakes, that murky green color of lake water... I don't know, I just really like everything about lakes.

~Drawing in the fog on the bus windows (especially since my friend and I have inside jokes that we write on them)

~Cracking and wearing glowsticks

~Going to Chicago and seeing all the skyscrapers. It's amazing to me!

~Going to those early morning swim practices when it's still dark outside and there's only three people at practice: me, and my friends Nathan and A.J., and we get to do dryland before we get in the water and we talk and laugh and play music and complain about how tired we are. When dryland is over we do running dives into the pool which takes our breath away because it's so cold. We do races and they're fun even though I'm the slowest out of the three of us and never win. If the pool is really hot we'll go outside in the pitch black and lie on the freezing concrete to cool off. When one of us has to get out early to go somewhere, we yell at them and call them 'slacker' (it's all fun though, not being mean). These kinds of swim practices always make me happy.

Hugging/ being physically close to my friends and people I care about. I'm the kind of person that will literally just go up and give my friends a hug randomly. It gives me a sense of peace, although some people think I'm weird because of it, since I have more guy friends than I do girl friends (but I'm closer to the few girl friends I do have).

I love people who are like this- I have one friend who will just randomly hug me throughout the day and it's really nice, because I like being hugged but I'm not one to do it. So, kudos to you, Kestrel!
