I assign doing something for once on a whim.

I went to the box office to buy tickets for Wicked for Sunday's showing only to find out they were all sold out. I was ready to go home when I ran into a friend and he invited me to sign up for the lottery for tonight's show. And what do you know, I won! So I got two seats for a $20 discount. The last thing I expected to do tonight (a school night) was see a Broadway show...but I did and I had a blast!

Moving to a climate where fall feels more like late spring or early summer.

Discovering that despite the miniscule size of your college (about 485 students, including grad students), there is still a large enough population of Tolkien fans to include someone who makes movies of The Silmarillion and enough people interested in watching the movies to warrant a Saturday-night showing in the lecture hall.

Unexpected compliments, when even the complimenter doesn't realize what they're doing.

Cheese and crackers, especially when good cheese is hard to come by.

Singing in a chorale.

Learning to sing alto after having spent all your life singing soprano.

Having a Christmas song (or several) stuck in your head.

Oh, but I love Christmas songs! The ones stuck in my head, anyway. Who wouldn't love Carol of the Bells, for one?

Mwahaha...I love Carol of the Bells...I would sing and whistle it at Burger King for hours at a time...hours at a time...

I assign good times at an otherwise crummy job to the Shire. Some of the sweetest memories can be gleaned from those times.

Long holiday weekends spent with friends.

Almonds and cashews.

Marathon games of monopoly.

Summer weather in November

Late-night outdoor conversations.

Watching silly movies well after bedtime.

Pumpkin cheesecake and bacon-and-cheese stuffed mushrooms.
