I know, I know... it's been a while; so, here it is: My Top Ten List of Random Things I Love.

1.) My hair, first thing in the morning.

2.) Being told I look like Lindsay Lohan.

3.) When my friends stick up for me.

4.) Being sweaty.

5.) Running into old friends

6.) Laughing WITH people (not at them.)

7.) Those looks that make you feel sexy.

8.) Open windows, loud music.

9.) Being accompanied by an acoustic guitar as I sing my heart out.

10.) Dancing

Opposition seems to be the recurring theme in my life-- There are times when I think I would like something to happen a certain way, but the opposite usually happens; for example, over the past few weeks I felt that I needed some time and space to be alone, reflect, and get my head together. What happened? I ended up smothering myself with friends, people, work, etc. and there hasn't been a minute over the past 72 hours that I have spent alone (yes, I know it's Thanksgiving... bad timing for such a request.) Here is an even better example of some of the conflicting emotional responses I have been having to life: There are certain people that I never again wanted to see, speak to, or be in the same room with. And I have been completely bullheaded about never putting myself in certain situations where I would be faced with these people or having to make choices that could lead me down a self-destructive path... However, I have found myself faced with people, situations, and choices that unearth certain past behaviors/feelings and I am completely dumbfounded. I feel like a hamster on a wheel-- running in circles, going nowhere, yet I think I am making the most out of my time; at least I am getting exercise.
