    -Smiling at strangers and seeing their reactions
    -Car flirting
    -Sleeping in past noon after a late night
    -Awkward silences followed by laughter
    -Wearing a brand new pair of high heels and feeling on top of the world
    -Realizing how skinny your skinny jeans make you look
    -When washing the car turns into a giant water fight
    -Mixing all of the flavors at the soda fountain

  4. finding your (or a friend’s) “time twin.” someone that looks exactly like you or your friend but in 10 or 20 years! AWESOME!

  5. When youre driving a car with loud exhaust and a loud stereo, and the pitch of the exhaust matches the same pitch of the song youre listening to…. Ah… Sweet Bliss…

  6. warm photocopies
    the way the sidewalk looks when it just rained
    when your dogs bark at fireworks
    counting how much people wear cali gear
    laughing at tourist
    seeing that your ipod is fully charged
    smell of new paint (it’s not good for you, but i do it anyways)
    wearing a shirt that is way too big for you
    going through old birthday cards
    random twins in matching clothes
    old people who wear funky t-shirts

  7. -The smell of your own laundry detergent
    -when people say you smell like your house or your family has a certain smell (clothing scent)

    1. Everytime I smell veggie soup I think of my grandma. Almost everytime we went to visit her when I was little she was making veggie soup and that’s what we would eat while there. She made the BEST veggie soup. Whenever I get word that she is making some, I always ask her to save me a bowl.

  8. I have one for you!!

    Finding out you have road side assistance that covers lockouts when you lock your keys in your car.

    :)

    happened to me today! and it was AWESOME!

  9. That moment in the late afternoon, when the sun turns everything orange, after school/work, looking up into the blue sky scattered with clouds turned orange by the sun contrasting with the blue and feeling as if you have all the time in the world…

  10. lol i love it when you make a traditional snowman, and when you lose track of all the days and it feels like the weekend has come early

  11. The first morning at home after coming home from university for Christmas holidays and smelling pancakes and coffee that your mom is preparing for you.

  12. It’s really really awesome when you’re in your 50’s and you run into your childhood best friend,.. in an other country.

  13. gettin the foil from off an easter egg all smooth again. take patients and a steady hand but awesome when you achieve it.

  14. Finding out you and your son whistle at the same pitch/key (I’m not a musician).

    When someone you lost touch with hears your voice on a request line on the radio, and gets in touch with you. (really happened)

    When you finally tell someone special that horrible thing about yourself, and they don’t care.

  15. Getting in front of the school bus on your way to work in the morning.

    I’m not saying pass it….. when the bus is stuck at a red light and you have the big ol’ green one and you pull right out in front of it OR you’re at a 4 way just seconds before the bus….
    Did this today and I was at work a whole 10 minutes earlier.

  16. Grandparent’s Day was Sunday so I wanted to throw this one out there…..
    Being a grandparent. You get to spoil the kids, have all the fun, get them wired on sugar……. and then send them home.

  17. When the lights go out!Its great. The slience and darkness. I love it!!! And rain is AWESOME. Its so nice just sitting on the couch with a good book and the little pitter-patter of rain out the window.

  18. Things I find to be pretty epic:

    – Getting Rick Rolled

    – Purposely breathing on a sibling or close friend when you have morning breath

    – Making weird/random noises when you’re on an elevator with strangers

    – (For us girls) Period foods

    – Slow days at work when you can just slack off and do nothing and still get paid

    – When a butterfly lands on the tip of your finger

    – The smell right before and after it rains
