You make me smile with my heart

Six word memoirs are my latest craze. It so fun to try and think of a way to say so much in so few words. Here are a few that I've come up with recently:

I was taught love was limitless.

Can a vegetarian eat animal crackers?

Commit to something - write in pen.

Normally, I've stopped reading by now.

They aren't very good, I know. But the last two are my favorite :)

So in my English/Comp Class that I'm taking through the local college, we had to write essays on what we were thankful for. I, quite honestly, hated the thought of writing this paper. What I'm thankful for? Really? Even at a college level, THIS is the best they can come up with? So, because I want credit for this class, I wrote the stupid essay. But I tried not to write about the normal things such as family and friends and food and whatever else. Not that I don't appreciate those things. I am extremely happy that I live in a free world where I have food to eat every day and a warm bed to sleep in at night. Don't get me wrong here. But, I figured my professor would get sick of reading pretty much the same essay over and over. Thus, I decided to mix it up a little bit :)

1) The movie Up.
      In case you have yet to see this movie, I will tell you that it is about a crotchety old mad and a very high spirited little boy. They end up together in South America and must find there way back home while fighting off a scorned explorer and trying to help a new friend, Kevin, find her way back to her babies. Yes, I know. Kevin is a girl. Anyway, this is the story about these two people and, honestly, I could watch this movie on repeat forever. It is quite possibly one of my all-time favorite movies and will always hold a special place in my heart. It never fails to make me smile and I believe that smiling is something that everyone should be thankful for.

2) Fruit Snacks
      Fruit snacks are the ultimate in snacking. They come in all kinds of shapes and flavors, from orange dinosaurs to grape Curious George's. Fruit snacks can do it all. I have never once heard a child say that they would not like a pack of fruit snacks in their lunchbox. If you don't like fruit snacks, you can leave my blog now and never return. Fruit snacks are the shit.

3) Heated seats in cars
      Although my mother hates them (she says they make her feel like she peed her pants), these handy little perks have been keeping keesters comfy cozy for those lucky few who remembered to shout 'SHOTGUN' seconds after stepping outside.. Lucky bastards. I personally do not have heated seats in my car, but golly do I wish that I did. You'd better believe that when I go new car shopping, this is a make or break item.


4) Saying "God Bless You" when someone sneezes
      This is a common courtesy that, I believe, is very much taken advantage of. If you sneeze, I say 'Bless You'. I honestly cannot help it. And if you don't thank me, I will take my blessing back. Your heart stops beating when you sneeze. That's why people need to bless you - so that sneezing doesn't kill you. Especially if you sneeze multiple times in a row. Ya know, I was actually named Mary Margaret in case I wanted to be a nun one day? So my blessings must have some kind of superiority over others... Okay, probably not. But it's a nice thought for me :)



5) Deep Fried Pickles
      Need I say more?

Well, I guess its time to start working on homework... Or not... Probably not.
