Café

I love café's.

Sitting there with a hot porcelain mug, seeing delicious thick, creamy, dense foam with raw sugar sprinkled on top... mmm, it's so tasty. Windows let in the bright light of the sun and warms my back. I'm in my own little world, and I get to observe the people around me. Watching real, everyday people is much more interesting than the ones on television. What do they do for a living? Did they go to college? Do they have a family? Did they vote? How much love is in their life? Are they happy?

I sure hope so.

I wish it was a perfectly normal American thing to just walk up to someone and ask: "So, who are you?" That should be my next video project. To walk around Seattle and ask countless people that question and see who answers and what they say. Maybe I should change up the questions: "Who are you?" "Are you happy?" "Why?"


One day.

I DID IT! I'M ACCEPTED!!!

I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED!!!!! OMG OMGOMG OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMOSDAMFDKSFJNAKLFJESALKFHJENWOUASJK.NFM


I AM SO HAPPY! HAHA! I was shaking for, like, five minutes after I got the letter.

* sigh *


YES!

And the sun rises.

A pony grazing on a brisk morning.

A baby laughing and being held by their momma.


Drift wood on a beach.

Dandilions in a meadow.


A swirly twirl of water color paints blended with and without intention.

They all have something in common. What do you see?

I see peace. Joy. Calm. Optimism. Wisdom. Love. I aspire to live my life with all these traits; to always find them when I'm at my best, my worst, or when I'm just okay.

This is my 100th blog (it feels like I've written many more, ha ha). So I looked back to my first one ( http://stacysgotcourage.blogspot.com/2007/08/change.html )and I'm proud to say I have the same amount of determination, passion and focus as I did then.

Mmmm... I'm happy (for so many reasons). :)

Thanks, Plinky.com

Some actual randomly interesting questions. I want your answers, too!

1) Name three songs you could be convinced to sing at a karaoke bar.

-RESPECT by Aretha Franklin
-I CAN SHOW YOU THE WORLD from 'Aladdin'
-FOOTLOOSE by Kenny Loggins


2) Name a bizarre gift you received.

On my 18th birthday I got a bunch of condoms and other love toys.
At this point of my life I didn't have a boyfriend. Haha, it was funny.


3) Name a book you started reading but never finished.

There are many books, but just to name a few:

Robinson Crusoe, The Lord of the Rings, The Historian, a few Jane Austin books, Wise Blood, No Country For Old Men, The Wayfarer Redemption.... There are many books on my list to read and/or finish reading.

4) Share where you'd fly for the weekend if your best friend had a helicopter.

Hrm. Depending on how much gas we would have.... either: Alaska, California, Hawaii, New York, London, France, Greece, Austrailia.... yeah, the world.



Sometimes they have dumb questions... and I really could expand on the answers to these... but I'm tired. What about ya'll?
