Tense Around Apples

My first entry, I think because I was just browsing around the Internet at the time of setting up this fabulous list of '100 Things That Make Me Happy' (or TTMMH for short) was YouTube.

I am not going to explain what YouTube is, or how it came to be, or what it does. You are HERE. ON THE INTERNET. RIGHT NOW. If you didn't realise that, turn off your computer and sit down for a while, you're in for a shock.

What I suppose I really should be explaining, is why it makes me so happy (Bear with me, this is an exercise in thinking in more that 140 characters again, particularly more than 140 characters that you might actually, you know, want to read. #damnyouTwitter)

YouTube makes me happy because it exists.

No, more than that. It's like a marketplace of the Internet. Everyone knows where it is, everyone knows how to find it, and everyone knows what it does and what it doesn't do. The metaphor doesn't end there; people DO sell on it, they do shout and rant and persuade you to buy their goods, whether that's a make up range, a phone wallpaper, or their own particular brand of comedy.

And that's just it. It is so wide and varied and exciting. It's people doing what they do best, what they've done for centuries, just without the other person being there at the same time as them. People are telling their stories on YouTube, and furthering their careers; Charlieissocoollike is one such example of someone who lives off the revenue YouTube makes from the ads on his blog. I suppose, a bit like the Internet itself, from the pioneering glory of Tim Berners-Lee, YouTube facilitates everything that is great about people, for free. The bad bits too (commenters and all that) but I can leave that. What I love, and the reason that YouTube makes me happy, is that it's a People's Paradise. And I kinda like People.

Day 01: Your Favourite Quote
Day 02: Your Favourite Episode( I zink I make tey cuts ere and zen... AN ZEN )




This post brought to you by too many italics. Soz.

day 01 | a song
day 02 | a picture
day 03 | a book/ebook/fanfic
day 04 | a site
day 05 | a youtube clip
day 06 | a quote
day 07 | whatever tickles your fancy

I'm posting two. It's my journal. Try and stop me.

The first is my newly favouritest picture by my friend ol' purpleface . The colours are so complimentary, the image so simple, and yet so full of meaning too. It's just a picture of a pair of shoes on some turf but it feels like it'll mean something different to everyone. And the finish (excuse my ignorance of photograpy) is just beautifully dreamy. To me, it reminds me of the Wizard of Oz.



The second picture is the one that really gave me a kick in the butt about doing something with my life. I guess it's a picture of a quote more than an actual picture, but it affected me all the same. I've already posted it, but no reason not to post again, eh?

I wonder what it will make you feel?

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
3. Include these instructions, and share the love.

It's not exactly "pretty" but I still think it's one of the best pictures I've ever taken.

sovietkiki: Do a post like this, and put everything you can think of that you really love at the time. It can be anything, just do it, bitches, it's just designed to make you feel all smooshy and get possibly to help you get a case of the Warm Fuzzies. Also use the most lovey, adorable icon you have.

Is a peacock lovey? how sad is it that I don't have a "lovey, adorable" icon?
