★ Went shopping at flea markets with dad on freezing Sunday mornings ★ Honeybush & vanilla tea ★ Revised my 2013 Workbook and made the last few goals happen! ★ Bon Iver ★ Ron's adorable new sweater ★ Fresh herbs from the forest ★ Forts ★ Blogged consistently due to an overactive mind ★ Went to a medieval fair in Vic with family, including Ron! He was so cute freezing to death all day! (see street musicians here) ★ Made lots of vegan tortilla de patatas ★ Road to Avonlea marathons ★ Finished a journal and began a new one precisely on the New Moon ★ Was of service to a few people -my favourite thing to do! ★ I love losing track of time in the forest and returning home five hours later feeling rejuvenated ★ Revamped my yule "tree" -which I made right after Samhain- with new freshly picked branches, pine, rosemary, ivy and whatever I could find on the ground in the woods ★ Intensity & Productivity! ★ Buzzing streets during the holidays ★ Finished Lemony Snicket's ASOUE, finally! It's taken me years! I hated the last book and feel so betrayed by the author ★ 6'30 am. Always my favourite time of day ★ One evening watched Little Women in the dark, lying on the carpet with cushions under my belly, drinking hot chocolate ★ Woke up at 5 am on several days (no alarm clock, never alarm clocks), that's how energetic & excited about life I usually am ★ My crush talked to me out of the blue and I was shocked; you know I exist?! ★ Jocelyn and Lisa ★ "I'm not working class, I'm crawling class" me being real ★ Those moments when you think of aspects of your life you're ashamed of and you end up crying at very inappropriate times. Those aspects of yourself that make you feel nobody's ever going to take you seriously -or even like you- if they knew about it ★ In yule time's true spirit, I socialized until I was blue in the face, but I didn't feel overwhelmed, I'm becoming a pro at managing my energy ★ El Club de la Comedia reruns ; Leo Harlem is my favourite comedian ★ My sister's hyperbolic sense of humor that matches mine ★ Put up the Christmas tree in the livingroom with Marina while listening to Jingle Spells cds ★ Good Will Hunting ★ Dad, Marina and I made pestiños one cozy evening ★ Bought the 2014 Amazing Workbook and I've been obsessing over it, as it happens every year ★ Marina slept in my bed on Christmas' Eve, it was so cute & exciting & fun ★ Lots of chamomille everyday ★ Went to the cinema to watch Ismael (I didn't like it) ★ Isabel spent Christmas' Eve with us and it was actually a more entertaining night than I expected ★ Jordi, Paco, mother Roser and daughter Roser came over for coffee and it was a very stimulating and funny afternoon ★ Received tons of support everywhere ★ New Year's Eve at my aunt + uncle + cousin's house. Stimulating conversation & good food, my favourite kind of party. I couldn't finish the 12 grapes (neither did my sister and cousin) because when we were chewing on the fourth, my dad exclaimed something hilarious and we began to laugh so hard that we all choked and tears started pouring down our faces xD Went on a Christmas date with my entire family in Barcelona city and we had the time of our lives! Visited la Fira de Santa Llúcia and soon decided it wasn't for us. Bullied strangers in cafeterias so that they would give us their seats. Ate churros con chocolate in cozy coffee shops and hot chocolate would come out of our noses because we laughed so hard. Browsed cute hole-in-the-wall craft shops and bought supplies -because hey, I rarely get the chance to stock up on things from the city. Admired gothic cathedrals & churches. Explored a weird Romanic patio we had never known before in the Gothic quarter while a street performer sang opera in a corner. And had intense debates about the moon in the car on our way back home.
