I urge you to please notice when you are happy

lianhanshee posted this perfectly pleasant meme and then I douched it up by, uh, answering it only with lines of poetry. I DON'T KNOW, I WAS BORED. It's not my fault, we're less than a month out from National Poetry Month -- like I was telling mixedupfiles, I'm keyed up like a kid at Christmas. (You can click through to the whole poem on any of these, if you're into ( Read more... )

mememe, ars poetica

I thought National Poetry Month was February for some reason. Does it change every year? Because I swear my senior year of high school it was February. My senior English teacher was obsessed with poetry and since we had such a small class, we were all supposed to bring in a different poem...every day, I think? (Although that seems excessive.)

Nope, it's been April since it was started in 1996! But obvs poetry should be celebrated 24/7/365. ;)

Man, I google to find out where your subject line is from, and this entry is already the fourth result. Loopy!

Third now! Yeah, Google looooves my journal, it's kind of creepy. Maybe because it's been around so long?

Anyway, you probably already found it, but it's Kurt Vonnegut: "I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"

PLEASE DON'T DEFRIEND ME FOR EXCESSIVE NERDINESS.

WAIT. IS THAT AN ALAN DAVIES ICON?!?!?!

Heeee, I like how you seem to be under the impression that I'm not nerdy and would be put off by the total uncoolness of poetry. I'M COOLER THAN I THOUGHT.

It IS an Alan Davies icon. I...searched the dark corners of the internet and found some. I may have also found QI fic. Not that I read any of it. I love how the minute it goes from a private obsession to a shared one I suddenly need to seek out fandom, but I DO.

Now I have one tooooooooooo!

If I went to high school with Alan Davies, I'd vote him Most Likely To React Charmingly To Being Mocked By Stephen Fry.
