What is spontaneity?

Spontaneity is an noun that is defined as "the quality of being spontaneous and coming from natural feelings without constraint." Yeah. Whatever. I did it today.

I was spontaneous.

If you could call them spontaneous.

Well, first, I did not sleep in my abnormally normal hours of sleeping (6 am - 2 pm) when I'm on night shift because I was finishing this book about a nerdy girl and a slacker boy falling in love in senior year. When I finally had the sense to sleep, I was awakened by a text from someone that I have to meet later. My deep slumber abruptly came to an end. I don't really want to go but I have to because it is one of those things that my mother will definitely nag me about if I miss this appointment. After meeting her, I still have like two hours until I have to go to work. I really hate being idle in the mall. It sucks. I mean there are so many things you could do there but then most of those things involves spending your hard-earned money of things that will definitely not give you much satisfaction. So to avoid ruining my budget, I went to this part of the mall where you could sit and listen to live acoustic music.

Surprisingly, the things that I have done today that I categorized as spontaneous were actually useful.

First, because I had this absurd idea that I really have to finish what I was reading or else the world will end. So there I was, reading and wondering if it would be a great idea to continue when my sister went online surprisingly. So we chatted for like 15 minutes. I really was not expecting that to happen today. It was a good thing I was spontaneous between 6 am till 9:30 am.

Next thing, while listening to this band which I forgot the name. It's like this uncool and unimaginative name that most bands give themselves when they are (the band members) not really that close enough to hang out with each other and think of much cooler names. The band basically called "____ (somebody's name, probably the one on vocals) and The Band". How lousy is that! I mean, aside from the name, the band was quite good. The vocalist looks like Jessica Alba so the men there are probably salivating over her and they really have a cute guitarist. So I was there, chillin' when I heard this very familiar intro of the song they are singing. Surprised again! They're playing Boys Don't Cry by The Cure. How rad is that! I totally dig this band after that song. Another spontaneous act that led to me to decide that I would come to the mall once a week a just listen to acoustic music for free.

Spontaneity definitely rocks!
