trivial things that make you happy

[Ed]

I bought a book last year from a second hand bookshop called Lake Wobegone Days (Garison Keller), the book is supposed to be excellent. I bought it, however as i was seduced by a dating made in pencil - 10th September 1991. Also inside, (and the biggest gift of all) was a uni shopping list, handwritten and still there after all this time. Pens, notepads, new socks, deodorant. I loved seeing this little bit of someone else's history, and enjoyed wondering whom it belonged to and what they had become.

I quite like cutting into something like a piece of fruit and knowing that i am the first person to see its innards. Lol sounds daft but sometimes as i pop it in my gob i feel sad that i will always be the only person too. That pattern and colour is so unique it seems wasted.

This whole bit reminded me of this:

Mono no aware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What you are expressing really is quite beautiful. The Cherry blossom is probably the most famous representation of this in Japan, and they celebrate it every year with extremely heavy drinking sessions and karaoke machines under the trees lol.

You write well Amelie, have you ever thought of writing stories?

Edit: I read the Garrison Keillor book in about 92, I remember it was very gentle and I enjoyed it. I think I'd like it more now I'm a bit older.

I like reading other peoples little notes/comments too, i've been known to leave a few sarcastic ones myself lol, and the odd immature boredom venting post-it informing whoever picks the book up next that if they're reading this book they are probably a geek and such like.

The toilet doors in our uni library are littered with random bits of dialogue, one person writes a comment, another person leaves one back, usually something cheeky, they go on for ages, I read a great little toilet door debate about rape the other day lol.

When we went to see Lily Allen at the Academy in Manchester a while back, on the loo doors it said "POPPERS ARE THE SHIT" I had to take a pic with my phone. I'll try and up it if I've got time. lol

lol I've just had a great one

I've just spent YEARS filling out an online registration form... you know the score...

Anyway... last question... "In case you forget your password please provide a sample question we can ask to verify who you are along with the answer"

I put:

Question: Utter ?
Answer: ****

That's cheered me up no end

In fact I may even pretend I've forgotten my password

lol, Good one Shoomie little things please little minds hey? I had an password at work once, at my old job, and the IT bod sets it and told me to write down what I wanted and give it to them. Feeling devilish / defiant I chose a word that was a bit wrong shall we say and one I definitely knew what I was refering to, but they may or may not have. Wrote it and gave it to them, deadpan as you like and looked straight at them as they read it. To give them their credit, they didnt miss a beat and just said "Ok, thanks" (Either that or they were genuinely oblivious , lol) Made me have a chuckle to myself though so that brightened up my day at the very least.
