What would you call your moment(s) of peace?


Dark Rainy Days:
-I would get up really early and enjoy looking at all the darkness outside. I don't turn on any lights, and keep all the blinds down. I make myself a comfort meal like some New England clam chowder. I sit on the couch with all the blankets I can find then watch a long bloody movie (The Patriot, Road to Perdition, Gladiator etc...). After the movie, I go to my room and play around with RPG maker.

Cold Days:
-Wake up late, make a hot cup of coffee, grab a pastry and eat some breakfast. I take a hot shower, dress up, and go to Borders to read some stuff. I may buy a book if I feel like it. I come home and read, then make a steaming pot of gumbo, hoppin' john or jumbalia with cornbread on the side. I eat most of the day and sleep like a rock.

Sunny Days:
-I'd go out to the pool (around 10 am) with my goggles, a large beachtowel, and my minicooler full of sodas. I swim for about 2 hours then sleep on the recliner under the sun, then swim again for another 2 hours. When it gets a little cold, I pack up and leave. I take a shower and eat alot, then I may play on the computer but I'll most likely sleep. Sometimes I watch cartoons (spongebob or something...)for the hell of it.

Um... Fridays? I don't have school on Fridays.

Usually late at night is my best zen time... having coffee downtown works too.

Moments of Zen, hmmm, I've been told I am the Zen master for not having killed my roommate yet. N E ways

Back at home- Late night drives by myself or with a friend. When I'm with a friend we talk about anything, speed along with the top down, just doing nothing. When I'm by myself I toss down all the windows and top and blast some music depending on my mood.

College-Listening to music whenever my roommate isn't here. Also, laundry days are a great peaceful time for me, or late nights over at the womens' dorms with my lady friends.

Anywhere-Late night relaxation at the coffee shop, chatting about anything that isn't really serious. Also anytime I'm running, lifting, or playing basketball. When I'm in the zone after getting 4 strikes in a row during bowling.

My moments of Zen can contrast quite a bit... When it's a sunny day, and life is going well and I'm out to go shopping, and I'm listening to SuperGreenX's remix "Save Me" from Ico. That's a wonderful feeling

Also, when it's really rainy, cold or snowy, and I'm listening to a remix of Metroid Prime's Phedrana Drifts theme

Put simply, I love my Sony Network Walkman

1. When its raining outside and I'm about to fall asleep.

2. Taking a hot, very hot, shower, with no music, or outside sound.

3. Just listening to my headphones usually while walking for a mile.

4. The beach, normally while at night.

Just being home alone... or being up very very late. I like being up late becuse of me being alone for a moment. I'm seldom alone with two sisters and two parents. :/

I love it when i'm indoors and it rains outside, if it's sunny I just feel guilty for being indoors. :/

Summer afternoons/evenings do it for me, and rainy evenings...not thunderstorms though. With thunderstorms, I'm always wondering what moment the power will go out.

I know it doesn't always go out...but I hate when it does, especially in the middle of the night when I wake up like, "I CAN'T SEE! AM I BLIND?" until I realize that it was just the power going out...

My Own Moments of Zen:

- Watching the snow fall on a day off over a cup of coffee.

- Standing out in my backyard on a spring day, while letting my mind drift.

- Sitting at the computer with a cat on my lap and a full Itunes playlist in my headphones.

- Zombie movies and slasher flicks. (What? They calm me down for some odd reason.)

I think my moments of zen are when I'm sick, and I can't quite get to sleep, but I'm so close, then I start calming down from sneezing, coughing, and anything else.

Either that, or lunchtime at school. None of my friends have the same lunch .

Ultra-Severe storms. Oklahoma (besides hurricane-prone areas) may just have the most evil weather in the world...

Sometimes the reddish dirt gets stirred up in the atmosphere at sunset and the sky has the MOST beautiful orange-golden-brown color... When a storm system forms overhead, especially, the sky has equal parts Golden-weather-disaster and a hazy orange sky. The sunset allows the clouds to cast MASSIVE shadows that sprawl acrossed the sky and darken everything in their path to a deep bronze. There's so much color and contrast that one can't help but have a fear and respect for nature, as it truly looks apocalyptic.

Those are the days I long for...

Edit:

Here's an example:
