Kevin suggested that we all post one reason to smile everyday, so here's mine for today:

I've been having a flu ever since last Friday. Today I finally went to see a doctor, and she prescribed some antibiotics and some painkillers that should also lower fever (or lover fever like I wrote in an IM... Cool ). Anyway, when I opended the package, I saw the pills were nice blue, and the first thought that entered my head was "But I wanna take the red pill...". I couldn't help but smile at the thought. Kinda silly, I know, but it made me smile, so what the heck?

Setras,
Taking blue pills, waking up in his bed and believing whatever he wants to believe.

First let me say a heartfelt thank you to you Setras. That made me smile again.

Earlier this morning (about 3:00 a.m.) I was laying in bed when I felt a weight on my legs and some fur in my hand. The weight on my legs was Shadow who choose me to sleep on. The fur in my hand was Gehngis who had scooted over so my hand was on her tummy. She love when I rub her there.

I smiled and went back to sleep to dream about Ben, my first boyfriend.

Thanks again.

May happiness and love permeate your life everyday,

Kevin

--that the blue pill/red pill reference was classic, and was, in fact, the first i'd smiled today too, as you were the first person i talked to. Smile

Heheh I smiled during gym today. We were playing ultimate frissbee.. For all who dont know your split into two teams, team with frisbee throws down the field after you catch the frisbee you can take three steps and then your required to pass the frisbee. Anywway. I am in a senior/junior gym class and the seniors who call themselves the super seniors are such bitches.

At one point they told my team that we should all go smoke somehting cuz we all have sticks up our butts. Well my very very innocent friend Geo said I don't need to smoke somehting I don't have anything in MY butt. IT was just so cute I startedt to laugh and just had to smile.

At another point Andrew (my team) said hey you guys have to be 5 yards away for a pass to count. The super seniors said well you better go get your ruler then and start measuring becuase we don't give a shit. I looked at them and said I don't need a ruler, 5 yards is the distance between the white lines on our field. They got soo upset my whole team smiled at me.

Peace and Trees
Andy

It made me smile reading about your pills, hehe. Thank you so much for your random thought. The human brain's capacity for free associativity really is amazing, it is wonderful to be reminded of that sometimes.

Today Andy made me smile (and laugh!) lots. We're chatting right now and he said a little while ago:

"why do sandwhiches taste better if you cut them in triangles instead of in halves"

Then he has this rather lengthy and involved explanation (while we keep discussing other stuff in parallel including (dyed) hair, braces, exploding ink bottles etc) of how it's not only more aesthetically pleasing to the eye with a diagonal cut rather than a straight, but also how the cut itself apparantly affects the sense of taste... I couldn't help myself chuckling as I sat there in front of my pooter... Smile

I have very little experience in this regard, because Swedish bread usually isn't of the square-ish sandwich variety, and we usually don't do double sandwiches either with a top and a bottom bread, and we don't cut our sandwiches either.

Anyway, Setras, you gave me a smile with your post (and I am privileged to have witnessed the 'lover fever' in person Very Happy ). Almost anything that makes us smile is a good thing in my book, even if it is silly. Then you Andy gave me another one with your talk about sandwiches.

Thanks guys! It was so nice of you to give me these smiles!

Then I started chopping them in triangles and suddenly my Peanut butter sandwhich became simply amazing!!!If you dont believe me rty it out yourself. The cut really does affect the taste Smile

I took my grandmom to the doctor this afternoon and while I was sitting in the waiting room, these 2 sweet white haired ladies were talking. Suddenly one of them looked at me and said, "Let's ask him." Actually, the smile started right there cause I generally love grannytype ladies.

They were looking in this magazine at pretty hair on models and the one lady asked me if it would be ridiculous to put some blue or green in her hair. The other lady was dissing her, saying how stupid, you're too old. She looked at my hair which right now is really long and shaggy with a blue streak down one side. She asked if she could touch my hair Hahahaha! Go for it, nice lady Very Happy I was laughing and she said she was gonna put rainbow stripes in her hair......I told her that would be the coolest thing cause rainbows stand for love.

I'll never know if she did it but I do know she was one cool granny ;-D and she made me smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile

ps.....looking at the "Jonas Butt 1,2,3" photos made me 'crack' up too Cool

JJ ~ I smile alot anyway
