The Other Three Things that Amaze Me

Sorry that this post was massively cut down and split (and yes, I realize that this doesn't add up to ten, I just didn't want to split this into three posts). My laptop and this website are conspiring against me to shorten my lengthy posts, so it won't let me publish unless I split up my appreciation ramble. If you want this post to make any sense, please read the previous one.
 
Fashion and the people bold enough to test out the trends. Thankfully, unlike my uberChristian small hometown, my college town is very liberal (which makes sense, it being a college town and all), especially when it comes to fashion. People show up to classes with capes, no shoes, and crazy crazy outfits. I love it. Peoplewatching here never gets old. Plus, I can wear my rainboots when it isn't raining and no one gives me weird looks. Gnarly.

Speaking of rainboots, or puddlejumpers, as I wish they'd be called,  they are another aspect of life that never fails to bring a smile to my face. Who doesn't love jumping in a giant puddle. It's such a freedom and I love the releasing of inhibitions and invincibility that happens when my feet hit the water.

When a song or a movie (for all of you film buffs) or a book or a work of art or whatever reaches out its paint splattered fingers and clasps onto your soul. Chilling. Brand New's In A Jar definitely fits the bill for this one. All of their songs are lyrical and everythingelse-ical perfection, but this one tops all of them for me.

Life in general, specifically, and all together completely astounds me everyday. I am a lifer through and through, and I will never stop being amazed by everything, popular film professor be damned. Maybe I just don't watch enough films (something I might be willing to change, if you know of any that are worthwhile).

What are things that amaze you? Leave them in the comment box, I would love to know.
