Hating on Valentines Day.
I know, I know ... its ironic for me to hate something that's supposed to be all about love. But hear me out on this one. Everyone knows the basic reasons my fellow Valentines Day haters claim ... how if you love someone you should show them love every day, how Hallmark has commercialized love, and how people think Valentines Day is an excuse for PDA. Okay, so the last one isn't really one of the common reasons to dislike Valentines Day, it just peeves me. This may make me sound like a bitter old hag, but I'm all for love and affection as the biggest Valentines Day advocate out there.
Some people love Valentines Day and all its mushiness, but I think it just isn't for me. I live for the little everyday things that occur ... when he tugs on my arm so I'll hold his hand and he can rest on my shoulder, when we chase each other with our freezing cold hands to annoy the other person, or when we whine for the other person's attention ... just for the heck of it. I don't think there needs to be a reason other than you love the person. You don't need Valentines Day to show a person you care - you can show it many other ways, every minute of every day.

Favorite Thing #2
Superstitions.
What about them? I love them. Haha. SOME people say I have too many, but i don't even know how they came about most of the time. I'm not so sure I should call them superstitions. They're more like ... good luck charms! ^_^
---
Three of the ones I'm probably more known for:
- I can't go to the second stall of the bathroom to pee. ITS BAD. Or there might be a ghost in there. I'm really not too sure which one it is. When I was in 5th grade, a girl told me a story about the ghost in the second stall. So since then, I've resent peeing in the second stall. You may ask, what if there's only two? Well, its finger crossies all the way. Haha, don't know what that is, well, I guess you're not very superstitious then.
- Lifting my feet up when crossing railroad tracks. ITS GOOD LUCK! I really have no idea why. Haha ... One time on the way home from the beach my Junior or Senior year of high school I was told I HAD to lift my feet up, and its stuck with me. And it really does give you good luck!
- Changing the color of my toe nail polish before big events. This started off before college swim meets when I needed something to relax me, I would change the nail polish of my toes. This started to become a ritual that started to bleed into my non-swimming life.

Funny how these work right? Doing these things really do make me feel better, and I'm not even sure why. I totally know its all mental, but why not? Its all in good fun anyway! ^_^

My Favorite Things
So, after sitting on the highway for about 4 hours to get home to Jersey, I decided what my future posts will be on. The little (or big) things in life that make me happy. Haha.
Because that is my life - being happy. =)
Favorite Thing #1:
This Favorite Thing was actually inspired by my long trip back. I was tired and grumpy, but yet, everytime I saw a car carrier truck (I couldn't find the "official" name anywhere online) it makde me smile! I think they're so cute. Why? It looks like their wearing hats!
But my question is ... how exactly do they get those cars on that truck? And not fall off? Especially when you're driving past the truck at 80 miles an hour and the wind is blowing and you wonder ... how secure are those cars?
1. You drive the car up the ramp
2. Get out of said car once you've driven up the ramp
3. Slowly use the mechanics to lift car (did you do step two? or else you're screwed)
4. Check mechanics/lock car in place (this will only work if you did step two)
5. Admire your work!
