Onomatopoeia

So. Somehow I've managed to coerce you into reading this thing. I figure I'm pretty good at expressing my views on paper, but not so good at the words-coming-out-of-my-mouth thing. So I'll stick one of these up for your enjoyment every once in a while.
I never quite saw myself as the bloggin' type, but after reading Owl City's blog and that of my good friend Maeve I figured I'd give it a go.

(Go give 'em a read. They're both pretty stinking awesome)

Just for kicks and giggles, here's a list I spewed out the other day. Entitled: Things I Love. Yes, it totally sounds like something a first grader would write, but I wrote it anyway. (Heck, if you're going to read this you may as well know some of the stuff that makes me happy)

The sound fingers make when they slide across guitar strings

Nutella

Jesus

Spending time with God on a chilly morning

Running in the rain

Skiing

Playing Soccer

The smell/feel of freshly washed sheets

The feeling you get after a long run

Feeling God’s love when I need comfort the most

Fast Breaks

Kids

Things that explode

Playing strange video games with my family

My Family

My Mama

My Da

My little brother who’s not actually little

My little sister and brother who are both actually little

My dogs
The smell of my grandparents' house
The fort in their backyard
My grandpa's pachinko machine
My grandparents

Dogs in general

Coffee on a snowy Saturday

When someone plays with my hair

A good sneeze

Crying my face off when I need to get it out

Doing well on a test

Breezes

Dodgeball

The smell outside after a rain

Playing in the snow

Sweating while working hard on something

Painting walls. The mess, the smell, the social time, all of it.

Doing things with friends who are as weird as you are.

Running down hallways

Climbing things

Red rock country in Southern Utah

New socks

The part of the haircut when they use the buzzer on the back of my neck

Gettin' all twitterpated
Confiding in my dog

Mountain lakes

The kind of green you can only find if you go to a pine forest

Campfire smell

Finding God when I least expect it

The sky

Huge, angry thunderheads

Sunsets

Sunrises

The way a new book smells

Soft towels

Exploring mountainous areas

Aloe on sunburned skin

Hugs. Real ones, not awkward/wimpy ones.

Making people laugh

Laughing at other people’s jokes

Having something to smile about

The psalms

The bright pink in a sunset

The vast, electric blue in a deep lake, the kind that you can stare at for a long time and not get bored

Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream

Thought-provoking song lyrics

12 string guitars

Putting balloons under car tires to make the driver think something in the car broke

The word 'Onomatopoeia'

Onoooomatopoeia. Savor that puppy. That was kind of lengthy-ish and I'm sure you didn't read the whole thing (given the cheesy title) but there you have it. This whole blog thang is still really odd. I can literally talk about whatever I want to and no one can tell me otherwise!

So. There's me. In a large-ish nutshell. Maybe it's a genetically enhanced walnut shell or something...
