    I leave myself little notes and "presents" inside the pages of books, so that months or even years later when I pick them up and read them again, they tumble out. I just found a two dollar bill and a note placed a few chapters within "The Winter of Our Discontent." I know it's weird, but it makes me happy. The best part is answering the questions I leave: Usually they're about conflicts of the time, problems that seemed irresolvable, and yet time makes them all appear so trivial. Or else they're about how I feel, what I'm doing, where I'm going... Definitely a random thing that makes me smile.

    ^That is a really, really cool idea. I may steal it.

    Getting married. Not sure if that qualifies as a random thing, but it makes me happy. :)

    Going to boxing. Not much better than landing a solid straight right or uppercut. Hooks are nice too I suppose, but I always throw them wrong. Either too wild or too controlled, never in that middle ground.

    I just voice acted with my bro for our short-film-literature-project. Doing unintelligible fish voices is so much fun. :)

    when you are in a room full of people and they all stay perfectly silent for 5 minutes and silence fills every inch of the room. It's a wonderful and relaxing feeling.
