Smile- Featured 9.9.07

I had made up my mind to post this. I'm a little bit more melacholy today. Confused, I suppose. Thrown. Anyway, these items, from Etsy of course, make me smile. You can click the pictures to go straight to the listings. :)



These are Happy Go Lucky Rings from kathrynriechert. I seriously want one.



Framed Happy Apples art by rubyfax. I think these are really sweet.



A Ralph smile card by gkpapergarden. Stick figures are awesome!

There you have it! The first feature post on Titled Unnecessarily. I may do another, when I think of a theme. Or maybe I'll let the theme be born out of what I'm posting about, how I'm feeling.

:)

Decision

Sometimes things happen that are monumental to you but no one else, I've decided. In these instances it's okay to seemingly 'overreact' or at least respond slightly out of character. It's okay to bask in that moment of goodness, fortune or whatever you want to call it. Eventually life will move you on. (How would I write that so it doesn't end in a preposition? Is that still a grammatic sin?) Enjoy it! Smile!

Where is that coming from? I'm kinda calling myself out. Sometimes I can be such a pessimist and call it being realistic. I'll reason myself out of being happy because 'it's not that big a deal'. I do this with good things and bad things, squash what I'm feeling. I don't like that about me.

I've been journaling and blogging (and smiling) like crazy lately. I just NEED to get the feelings out. People have noticed. But I don't want to share the reason, yet. (With someone I actually know. By blogging I'm sharing, I know.) It's one of the moments that might only be huge to me. I don't want to find out if it is, yet. I don't want to ruin it. I don't want anyone to pop my happiness. I don't want to be drawn back into negativity again. I've been there for too long.

So...

More magnets

I listed these today. I blogged the pic through Flickr so click this to go to the listing.

I really like those magnets. I may have to make another set for myself. Not that I have room for to keep more magnets.

He wrote back. (refer to earlier posts from today) He remembered. I couldn't help but smile. I don't know why I always think I'm so forgettable. There was one time, but it was one time. *sigh* I need to get a higher opinion of myself.

Thanks for the comments, before. :)

Gulp

So I did it. I'm not expecting anything. I'm a realist. I needed to do this, for me. Which may be selfish. But if I didn't, I'd always wonder.

Connectivity

I just found a guy I went to elementary school with on Facebook. I'm a mess, now. We lost touch when he left the continent with his family. There was a lot more surrounding that, too. I guess I could just send him a message. But I don't want to be stalker-ish. I was just thinking about him yesterday because of a thread posted in Etsy forums. So maybe...oh, I don't know. I'm probably over-complicating this. I do that.
