Reasons Why I Am Really Happy

Number 1:
Music. Music is really great. Firstly the Decemberists, and then the new Music Tapes Album, then my discovery of 2nd Imaginary Symphony for Cloudmaking, and the new of Montreal album. Also, all the rest of A Hawk and A Hacksaw. I am in love with Julian Koster very completely, and have finally found the music to express how I feel about clouds. Listening to the 2nd Imaginary Symphony for Cloudmaking while falling asleep was a singularly moving experience.

Number 2:
Enchanting Experience. A girl on the stairway at school said to me "I dream with you." This is one of the most beautiful things someone I don't know has ever told me. I told her so today. She is in photos on the photo bit. I ruined the moment by not understanding her, though. Still, it was really great.

Number 3:
Friends. My friends at school are really great. I am referring here, by the way, to essentially just my entire classroom. We are in a classroom together for the most part all day, and the teachers move among us. So thus, we get to bond a lot more than typically in a school. The classroom sometimes seems a bit antagonistic and lazy and such, but typically there's a more affection than I'm used to in this sort of environment. For example, even though the boys sometimes do weird things like pinch girls and pretend to hit them, and the boys hit each other all the time, they also do things I've never really seen before, like kiss girls on the forehead and hug and caress. It's really nice. This is of course in addition to the customary kiss received by girls from girls and boys anytime they enter or leave a room. This isn't true so much in class but when we leave and such. I have also received plenty of uninitiated hugs from Alde and today from Dalid. Receiving frequent spontaneous affection is really good for me.

Number 4:
The sun and rain and clouds in school. I love so much that my school has an open air section. I think my classmates don't appreciate as much, but I love it. I can always just ask to go to the bathroom and see the sun. Today I saw the most beautiful clouds there, as well. The pictures are up here also.

Number 5:
The tree in my backyard.
