Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things
Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favourite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favourite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite thingsAnd then I don't feel so bad
These are the lyrics to the song referenced in the title. This song is My Favourite Things from the Sound of Music (Great movie btw, should go watch if you haven't, I've got a copy ;) ). And so the reason this song is in this post is because... well... I'm pretty sure you can guess, this post is about a few of my favourite things.
1) Right now, the time is 5:42. Outside my house is a beautiful sunset. The window is quite a large window, which shows a view of... the house across from us XD And the road. But the best thing is, I can see the sky, so clearly over the top of the house across from us. It's very picturesque. The house does actually make a lovely view with the sunset. The sun going over down yonder tinges the sky a beautiful orange, the type of orange that just melts your heart. The orange colour then spreads out, and soon the orange melts with the sky blue and turns a light shade of pink, that barely hints at the sky. After a while, the sun goes far over sufficiently, to give the house some form of shading, and the house turns slightly darker inside. The atmosphere becomes slightly more relaxed, and my minds feels much more at ease.
The sunset is beautiful. <3

'Settling'
*Ba-dum ching*
2) Talking.
Maybe not so much myself talking, but I love other people's company. I want people to talk to me, and I like to talk to them back. Sometimes I say stupid things, other times, I make people laugh. But mostly I just enjoy listening to other people talk. It gives me a sense of comfort, and I love the kind of give-and-receive the in the conversations. Just <3
Lastly 3) You all know it's coming...
My piano.
It's not as much a physical thing for me. It's not the actual act of playing that I like (although I love that bit as well). For me, the piano is deeper. It's a means of getting away. It's become this kind of spiritual detacher. I play the piano, and for a while nobody disturbs me, except for the douchebags who can't appreciate piano music. But other than that, nobody disturbs me, and I can finally escape my own house for a while. Just let my fingers flow over the keyboard, settle down with some Billy Joel, and let the music take control.
You might say 'aww, Jae, your relationship with the piano ain't nothing special. You ain't no soul mate with the piano or anything', but if you stood where I've been, and understood my situation, you wouldn't have a squeak coming out of your mouth.
Thank the Piano later
He's transformed me into somewhat a better person. Just sit me down on a piano and talk to me if you don't want a hyperactive kid talking to you :)
Seriously, you should all go play Piano.
Y'all be well now
