Instead of an About Me Section

         I am not in the mood to discuss anything deep at the moment. That's not to say I'm in a bad mood, but after several hours of classes and many more hours of homework, my brain is a bit burned out in the intellectual realm. So I think I'll go for something a little different this time.
         You can really learn a lot about a person from some of their favorite things. Hence the "25 Things About Me" Facebook notes and the awkward small talk conversation go-to "So, what kind of movies do you like?" or something of the sort. But to me, each piece of pop culture, art, poetry, or each hobby and past time reveals a bit more about the person than meets the eye. I've been struggling to come up with an About Me section for this blog lately, so I think a bunch of mini-lists of things I like will work even better. Enjoy!

Favorite Songs (at the moment):

• "She's Always a Woman" by Billy Joel
• "All Will Be Well" by the Gabe Dixon Band
• "Hey Pretty Girl" by Kip Moore

What I'm Currently Reading (or trying to...):

Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare

Three Random Things I Have an Affinity For:

• Owls
• Nutcrackers
• Peace Signs

Best Advice I've Ever Received:

"Serve God; enjoy life."

Television Shows I Think Are Worth Watching:

• Bones
• Doctor Who
• Broadchurch
• The Big Bang Theory

Favorite Feeling:

Taking a walk late at night, in the autumn-- the glorious moon shining bright, the wind gently blowing my hair, leaves rustling a bit, enough chill in the air to make me pull the sleeves of my hoodie down over my palms. Perfect.

Most Loved Piece of Clothing (right now):

This new 60's-ish long sleeve dress my Grandma bought for me!

I pretty much love dresses in general. Too bad they're super hard to play cello in.

This Year's Favorite Verse:

Ecclesiastes 3:11, NIV: "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."

Four Good Poems/Sonnets You Should Check Out:

• "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost
• "She Walks in Beauty" by George Gordon (Lord Byron) 
• "The Touch of the Master's Hand" by Myra Brooks Welch
• "The World Is Too Much With Us" by William Wordsworth

And here's this. Just because I think the 'Keep Calm' stuff is cool and I'm such a nerd. So best of both worlds in this one!
