Play With Me Please?

So when things are shit, sometimes I’ll play this game. It’s called name things you are super grateful for. You should play it one day. Pepper yourself with pen/pencil and paper. Kay, all peppered? I do one and then you do one. Be really specific.
Let’s GO.

1. Silenced Knight.
I know I mentioned Fitocracy in my last post, but really I gotta give a little shout out to Reora, DAQT, brothad, Jen, a few others on fito, and specifically Silenced Knight. This guy. http://www.fitocracy.com/profile/Silenced_Knight/
they have inspired me/ become big fans of my music. They saw my music video on the youtubes, and bam. So much so that SK even bought my music on iTunes. TWICE. Not once, but twice! :”’D really now.

2. My Hands.
Yes my ten fingers. My thumbs and fingernails and skin. You know why?? Not just cause I use them for music, but for EVERYTHING. I have not IDEA what it be like without them. I’ve done so much good with these hands of mine. Also, destructive things, but I wouldn’t trade my small hands for anyone else’s Additionally, I’ve been told I have purdy fingers and soft hands–minus the crazy callous on my fingertips from guitar of course. How else am I to hold your heart?

3. Bridget.
She’s been my best friend since high school, through my crazyness, and continues through my current cray cray. In fact I love all my friends from H.S. that still call me up. What would I do without you guys?? You guys are really there for me. I mean like not just half ass in my life, like no, really you actually care about my well being and existence in the world. And you can see my ugliest me and still love me. That’s real to me.

4. My Physical Therapists: Nola an Clara
OMG THEY ARE SUCH CUTE OLD LADIES. They are both tiny, skinny, sweet, precious ladies. Nola is this little old asian lady and Clara is this skinny–I can’t really tell how old she is–small Columbian lady. They alternate between helping me out. They so nice. I see them deal with really vocal/complainy people and they’re really good about it. And then with me, I’m super quiet/serious about my P.T., so Clara likes to make jokes and say okay now do this stretch 100xs and I’m like O.O oh LOL.

5. “Love More” by Sharon Van Etten

I first heard this through Bon Iver’s Cover of it, and I was hooked. Then I listened to the original, and then I was like REALLY addicted.

When I heard the original, it reminded me of my own “Love to Miss Me Forever.” When I showed “Love More” to my broface Adrian, he that he thought he was listening to someone do a cover of my music when I showed him.

6. How freakin beautiful it looks in the park.
So today it’s rainy, and I can’t run outside, but the other day when I went running, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I ran to the park near my house, headed to the top of the highest hill and stretched. It was so freakin’ PEACEFUL. The wind, the sun, the little children playing. It was suburbia at it’s most wonderfulest. I shoulda taken a picture now that I think about it, but I was busy absorbing the BEATUIFULNESS.

7. The little kids that give me their money.
Okay that sounds terrible. Let me clarify. When I play at Potbelly, my favorite thing is when the little children that come in waddle towards me and just stare forever, or at least until their parents herd them away. Typically what happens is they are busy oogling my playing/dancing around, and their parents get a little break. The babies, if they can talk/walk, ask if they can give me a dollar and the parents oblige, or the parents will give me money if their children aren’t old enough yet. They are so cute in their wonderment and awe. BABIESSSS.

8. The warm weather.
OMG the warmth here. When I was up in Chicago, my skin got really dry, and I was constantly cold. If you know me really well, you know my hands/feet are constantly randomly cold. UGH. My skin’s back to normals–don’t worry it’s mostly soft ;). When I got back here to H-town in Jan., I wore shorts. YES I DID. Cause I CAN. It was like nothing. Also, I hate running in the cold. I’d rather sweat when I run than have my ears hurt when I’m cold.

9. Almond Butter.
I freakin’ love eating Almond Butter. ALL THE TIME. ON EVERYTHING. I’ve been super vegan lately, exercising, and working on that six pack, and it’s seriously my favorite snack.
>RAW
>VEGAN
>ORGANIC
>NUT BUTTER
>HHHHHHNNGGGHHHH

BUTTER OF THE ALMONDS

I’ve eaten it on bananas, apples, carrots, thinly-sliced zucchini, crackers, in my brotein shakes, with chocolate, and I will just eat a spoonful by itself. I can go through jars of ’em pretty fast.

10. My creativity.
Oh yeah. Intangible self-quality. I went there. There are many a memories I hold onto from childhood, one being told I’m creative. Actually my teachers constantly told my parents and me that I am such a creative little girl. In kindergarden I remember Mrs. Crenshaw bopping me on the head with a rolled up paper saying so to my ‘rents. I didn’t really realize what it meant then, but looking back on how I was, it makes sense now. My creativity has always been there driving away at my being. It’s why I am AngiE.

Now your turn. You don’t have to explain each one. If you come up with more than 10 that’s even better. :]

Peace & ❤
-AngiE
