This is impossible for me to answer, because I'm fickle. I've really liked Bulletproof Heart by My Chemical Romance for quite some time now though.

I have rather low expectations for My Chemical Romance for some reason, but I'm always pleasantly surprised. Danger Days is actually a pretty solid album.

All These Things That I've Done by The Killers is a close runner up. It's more of a long-term favorite.

Stressin' like a Dessen (heroine)...

...that did kind of make sense.

Everyone older than me must think that I'm worrying about such trivial things. I know I will think that in a few years. I mean, how much of this will matter in ten years?

But I can't let it go because I don't have that kind of perspective yet. There are lessons that people have to learn by experience. I just have to make sure I enjoy life in between stressfests, because they'll happen no matter how trivial they may seem later.

Happiness is...

These past few months, I've been complaining way too much. What with all the summer job worrying, the lack of momentum, and the social awkwardness (nothing new here), I've hardly taken the time to appreciate everything around me. Here are a few things I've enjoyed today:

--Today was the best biking weather I've seen in a very long time. Sunny, with a light breeze. 75 degrees. It was so perfect I actually biked around for 20 minutes just enjoying the weather. Although this may be because I was hyped off sweet potato fries.

--I broke out my pink flower sandals for the first time this year. Happy happy fun fun :)

--The tumblrs I follow are amazing. It sounds cheesy to say that they're inspirational, but they really are.

I mean, there's still a lot of ungrateful angst in the background, but I'll just not focus on that now.
