11. 'The Smell of the Air Before a Thunderstorm'
After a long tormenting math class; you step outside and before you hear the rumble of the thunder or the brilliant flash of lightning you Smell the storm....that's right smell the storm! That sharp-sweet-salty tingle that reminds you of freshly mowed grass and rain on a hot foot path tingles your nose! That's the smell of a Thunderstorm!
12. 'The Smell of Old Book's'
Have you ever wandered into a library and picked up a dusty old hard-backed book that looks as if it belongs in a Gothic Movie? Well trust me, it's worth it, opening up the pages and pulling the book towards your nose. The spine leaves you with a smell.....like........well.......INDESCRIABLE! I remember I was 11 when my grandmother brought home one of her old books for my mother. I wasn't meant to read it but in the middle of the night I snuck into our lounge-room and that was the first time I ever smelt the smell of old books!
13. 'When the stain you never though would come of does'
You're out at a party in your new fresh white dress and a Friend bumps into you with tomato sauce topped sausage role. When you at school and you slip in the mud on your nice crisp school uniform? And you remember staring at your clothes.... that's never coming off! You wash them with little hope of ever being able to wear them again; then viola! You pull them out of the machine and there perfect!
14. 'When Someone Makes You Desert'
Your parents Friends are all around; crowding up the lounge room and kitchen singing along to Abba songs, and you just wish they would leave so you could study for tomorrows math test right? You know what makes it better when your mother yells want some desert? you don't remember her making it? You hesitantly walk out and there it is a gleaming source of hope-desert! And not just any desert; free desert! The only one thing that would be better; would be eating it out of the fridge tomorrow!
15. 'The Feeling of Crisp Bed Sheets'
I can say that I myself prefer the old-worn-down-soft-cuddly sheets. But then again almost everybody else in my family loves the feeling of crisp, taunt, military-straight bedsheets!
16. 'Seeing Your Friends in the same Outfit and Telling Yourself You Look Much Better'
We all love our friends but would it be shameful to admit that sometimes we love ourselves more! Imagine your at a party and a friend walks up and shes wearing the exact same outfit as you; you laugh and joke about it but inside you saying to yourself You look great! Its not shameful to admit that sometimes we allow ourselves to gain some confidence when were faced with a 'double' situation by telling ourselves that we look fabulous! (and maybe just a touch better than her!)
17. 'Swings'
When I was younger; I was a sucker for the swings...every weekend I would be like; Mum! Can I go to the swings? Can I? I admit; I was a swing-nut and a rather annoying one at that! There is something quite indescribably as the feeling of the air in your hair and the feeling in your stomach when you fall down from the top! Ahhh swings- my best friend!
18. 'Listening to Christmas Music Before Christmas'
I love the buzz that listening to Christmas music before Christmas gives me! Its such a great reminder that Christmas is on the way; and with that comes holidays! However I think that this is only acceptable from late November to the end of December! Anything later is a pet-peeve almost as bad as Easter stuff in stores in January!
19. 'Putting Your Knees Up to Stop the Other People From Reclining on the Plane'
Its been a long flight; the lights are off; the sound of snoring fills the cabin, and your just about to snuggle into an 'almost-unbumpy' sleep then HORROR! The person in front of you rudely reclines his chair; squishing your knees until he is virtually sitting in your lap. So you are forced to do what you have to do; put your knees up! Soon enough they will take the hint and recline a little less!
20. 'Old Men that Have 'Santa Beards'
I remember when I was little I really couldn't care less if his beard was real or not as long as he gave me a pony and made me a princess for Christmas(which of course he didn't!) But looking book at the pictures I now know that they were all fake scratchy beards but now I am on the lookout for men with actually 'Santa beards' So far I have seen one and the jolt I received was astounding. I even had the slight temptation to say, You'd make a perfect shopping store Santa!
