February 14th, 2008: Happy Valentine’s Day


Social Foolery, Insights and Life: written | 26 Comments »

So - have you ever had a ton of things happen, and when you go to retell the story to those who ask, it doesn’t seem like much at all? Hah, yes. It’s just one of those things, folks.

Despite the consensus - the one that says I’m dead, I’m actually still among the living, if only for a little while. Thanks for all 50 of those comments! Just when I thought no one was paying attention.

Four holidays - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s - all came and left with a dormant Like-Honey They were all great for me, and to go through all the tidbits…Again, It’s just one of those things. But I could allude to each event with one sentence and make it sound so much more intriguing than it was:

Halloween: Don’t let Happy Feet drink. Vote for Pedro.

Thanksgiving: For Jamaicans, the legal drinking age is 40, not 21.

Christmas: I didn’t know grandma could dance like that.

New Years: Did you see that asian prostitute stealing liquor?!

And there you have it.

So, Laceypoo and I were talking about this list she’d started. There are so many little things in the world that are very often overlooked that can bring you joy, if only for a moment. Her list is beyond cute - I can count at least 5 things that I love from that list alone. After some prodding, she got me to make my own list, lovingly dubbed It’s the little things.

  • Getting handwritten letters in the mail.
  • Spinning in desk chairs.
  • Fresh school supplies.
  • Singing a song that’s stuck in your head and it coming on the radio.
  • The smell of grass in the spring.
  • The silhouette of leaves on windows.
  • Dreaming of your dream car.
  • Someone saying exactly what you’re thinking.
  • Falling asleep in a moving car.
  • Thinking you’re out of cereal and finding a new box for the taking.
  • Laying down and being perfectly comfortable.
  • The joy of sailing through three or more green traffic lights.
  • Waking up and it’s so perfectly bright and sunny outside that it fills your whole room up.
  • The feeling you get from Disney songs.
  • Getting to the perfect ending of a good book. Bittersweet, but sweet nonetheless.
  • Talking to someone for the first time and connecting with them immediately.
  • Peeling the plastic sticker off the screens of new stuff after it’s been scratched up and watching it look brand new.
  • Daydreaming to a soundtrack.

What are some of the little things in life that you enjoy? Or even the big things. Or even one thing! Let’s hear it! New layout, by the way. I likes it.

Oh! I’ve been meaning to express just how happy I am that everyone likes the downloads that I’ve provided. They definitely took a while to make, and I’m glad they’re being put to good use. That being said, I’ve created an extended pack for one set in particular, because they are by far the most downloaded set of smileys:

There are twenty new smileys for this set including angel, emo, party, drool and say whaaaat. Enjoy!

Thank you Jenny - The smileys are fixed and can be downloaded.
