blogging about hmmm?

Alright so here are some of the ideas that this blog might be about...
1) Sitting on my couch, it's the most comfortable place to sit in my apartment and I always end up doing the most random stuff sitting on my couch, it would be fun to talk about the different people and activities that take place on my couch and conversations I have on my couch.
Dependents
- reason for sitting on my couch/ activity
- time of day
- duration of how long I spend on my couch

2)Steal internet, I don't have it so I have to get creative of where I can get internet from, even if it means sitting on the street corner (which I have done ha)
- where I am
- where I am stealing it from
- time of day/ duration

3) People watching, I am always on the go and it is something I love to do, every where go I tend to notice most everything that is happening around me and the people that are around me, and I usually end up meeting someone new
- location
- time of day/duration
- who I met, or someone who really stood out

4) Doodling
- location
- time/duration
- materials, on what and with what
- Mood/thoughts

5) Sleeping - how often or lack there of
- time/duration
- dreams?
- where/location

6) Cooking - I recently moved to a bigger apartment and have a kitchen again, but not very much food so it has been kind of fun experimenting and making food creations to eat
- time/duration
- what I created (depending on what food I have ha)
- how it turned out/ tastes

7) Music - it usually changes my mood or enhances my mood and I love to play it when doing certain activities or if I wanna chill out or get hyped up
- artist listening to
- duration
- how it affected my mood

8) Reading - weather it is a book, a newspaper, or an interesting article online, I read everyday and like to think about and question what it is that I am reading
- source
- what book or article it is
- my perspective on what i read/ how it made me feel

9) Daily horoscope - though I am not an avid believer and don't live my life by it, I think it is kind of a funny little something to read on a daily basis
- where the horoscope is from
- what the message was
- how it related or did not at all to my day

that's that for now : )

Sunny day stroll
