Things that made me happy today.

I was thinking about blogging today. I was thinking about things I could write about to make me seem eccentric or alternative. Like I've got my mind in this crazy space where I don't think about conventional things.

When the best things that came to mind were expressing my love for John Lennon music and the wonders of a Caramel Macchiato, I realised that I think about fairly conventional things. Gosh Em, everybody loves 'Imagine' and caramel flavoured expresso. So, I'm not going to try and seem unconventional, because frankly, that's fairly lame.
People try too hard to be 'alternative' these days. Heck, I even had a crack at it. For 10 minutes. In my brain. Calm down, it's not like I went and got dreadlocks.

So instead of blogging about how individual I am, and showing off some photography or something (isn't that what all those indie kids are doing these days?), I'm just going to tell you about the things that made me smile today.

1. How crazy blue the sky was! If there is one thing I love THE MOST about living in Queensland, it's that iconic blue sky. Not a single cloud in sight. BLISS!
2. Taking a flyer from a promo guy who'd clearly been standing in the same spot all day with so much as a grunt or an akward avoidance from passers-by. He was so thankful that I took that damn thing, couldn't take the smile off his face! That made me smile.
3. The whistling Big Issue guy. I'ms surprised that someone hasn't given him a job, because clearly, he's a celebrity.
4. My Irish cabbie. He told me a story about how when he drove a cab up north, he was offered a part in Australia, the movie, by Baz. Just a one-liner, but imporant nonetheless. But! He knocked it back because he loves driving cabs. What a legend.
5. Zac Efron's hair. Because it JUST DOES THAT.

Peace and Love.
