I like lists. So here's a list of things that make me happy!

1) Last.fm. Such a great site for tracking your listening habits. Download the program (it's free, and it hasn't given me any problems, so I'd say it's pretty safe to download), and it'll track the songs and artists you listen to, then give you recommendations for other artists. I don't use the recommendations much, but I do love looking at my stats. I've listened to so much Lauren Kennedy, and I hadn't even realized! It's a great site.

2) 13 -  the new Broadway Musical. It's Jason Robert Brown, so automatically it's going to be pretty good, but this score is so much fun! It's quite poppy at parts, but I enjoy it. I'm obsessed with some of the songs, like Opportunity and It Can't Be True. And these songs are sung by 13 year olds! I never had this much talent as them when I was their age. It's amazing. If you like popular music or Broadway, definitely give it a try. It's a lot of fun.

3) My Alphasmart Neo. It's a great little gadget that lets you type anywhere - basically a portable word processor. And now that I've installed the correct drivers for my computer, it works perfectly. Even though since I downloaded it my printer has stopped working correctly... hmm... but whatever. It's a great thing to have. I love it. It's named Nemo. =)

4) Singing. I'm in an a cappella group at USC, and it's so much fun! When we're on, we're on. And we have our first performance with the new members this week! I'm excited. It's a small show, nothing noteworthy, but I have high hopes for our future as a group. (We've only been a group since February, so we've made strong strides this year. It's exciting.)

5) Meeting word count at NaNoWriMo. I haven't been writing every day, more like every other day, but since I always write more than 1667 (usually somewhere in the 2000 range) I haven't gotten too far behind. Yay. And after I wrote my daily word count, I went on the forums and got excited again. I'd be writing more now if I didn't have 4 pages of a draft of a paper due tomorrow. Maybe I should work on that..... hmm....

6) Cool new playlists in iTunes. =) Enough said. (Especially ones that have songs with amazing harmonies. I LOVE HARMONIES! (I'm also a music nut. Can you tell?))

7) Smiley faces. Because they're happy!!! Hehehehe.....

8) Q10. It's such a great program for Windows. It makes awesome typewriter noises when you type, it's full screen and I have a pink font color! It's cute. I love it.

9) My boyfriend. Because I love him. And he makes me happy!

10) New music. I just found a song from Shrek the Musical of their website (for free! Download it) and it's very cute. Plus it has Sutton Foster, who's absolutely amazing, so I like it a lot. I also just got Christina Aguilera's newest song, which I don't love but I don't hate either. And, of course, 13.

My printer and external hard drive have decided not to work properly today. I have no idea why. I feel like they've been acting up ever since I installed all my Alphasmart programs. It bugs me. I'll work on it later, but I wish they would function the way they were supposed to!

NaNoWriMo's going alright. I changed my story to a mystery, but it's going really slowly and I'm getting a little bored. I did write in a ridiculous character named Edna Mae today though, and I like her a lot. Stereotypical old lady with glasses and hard of hearing. She makes me laugh. Which is good.

I keep forgetting that I get cranky when I don't eat. So at 12AM, when I'm talking to Adam on the phone and getting whiny, I should remember to eat a snack. My late night snacks of choice lately have been apples. Yummy.

I'm pretty behind for my movement class: I need to be totally off book a monologue for Wednesday. I have the first half of the monologue half memorized, so nowhere near ready to rehearse. But whatever... that's what tomorrow's for. I just finished a plot paper on the play Tilt Angel (it's bizarre, and I'd like it much more if it weren't assigned for class!!), so now I get to go to sleep. Yaaaaaayyyyyy.......

Hope everyone votes today! (I'll be so ready for the elections to be over. I want to know who the next president is! And btw... that reminds me, I was interviewed for Channel 4's news broadcast today! I talked a bit about being a college aged citizen and how I thought the younger demographic would effect the election. They used a tiny snippet of it--not much, but I was happy just to be on TV. I figured they interviewed a bunch a people and they wouldn't include me. They wrote out my name and everything! It's pretty cool. =D)

Goodnight all!!
