i'll be laughing at your silly little jokes

i make lists all the time. it's probably because i'd forget everything if i didn't write it down. i make lists of things i need to get done for school, things to do before i die, books to read, movies to watch, etc. so it seems appropriate for me to make lists of things on my blog, right?
a list of things i've been thinking about in the past sixty minutes
1) i was researching some intense jazz clarineting on youtube. i found this clarinet solo in the song "beautiful love." the guy playing is pretty talented, and i'm pretty sure he's only in high school.
2)at the moment i'm listening to noah and the whale. i'm a pretty big fan. it's folk, so it's pretty focused on the vocals. they have cute lyrics. and their songs are quite catchy.
3) i need to finish my other homework, too. i had too much homework today to hang out with my friend berniece and play scrabble, which is a shame.
4) i found out i can't go to honduras this summer. i applied to do this internship at an orphanage outside of tegucigalpa. they're having some leadership problems or something, so they're not having an interns. i'm upset about it, but hopefully it'll work out for next summer. now i'm wondering what i'll be doing this summer now that i won't be in honduras for a month.
5) i like daffodils.
6) i'm also wishing i didn't have to take ap exams.
7) seahorses are neat. and apparently they hold tails during courtship, which makes me laugh. they're also used in chinese herbology.
8) i want to have a pet duck someday. that would be really cool.i would name it tilly.
9) it'd be really fun to speak swahili. i've met people who speak it, and it sounds cool. elephant in swahili is tembo or ndovu
11)when i was little i had this picture book by remy charlip called Arm in Arm (A Collection of Connections, Endless Tales, Reiterations, and other Echolalia). it was just a book filled with random pictures and phrases. it made me want to be a picture book writer.
12) i like words that look like their definition. for instance: scofflaw, killjoy, layabout, fussbudget, smellfungus, etc.
