easter. i have memories of running around on easter in fancy yellow dresses. today i wore a thick scarf. it's supposed to be a great spring day, matching the feeling of what we celebrate today. these past few weeks, i've been trying to be patient. i love snow, and all that, and i try to enjoy whatever comes at me. but today, i really wanted spring. so, after i bundled up for church, i grabbed a jar and a daisy. i decided that if spring wasn't going to come today, i would carry a little bit of spring around with me. it's probably a very cheesy thing to do, but i don't care. carrying that daisy around made me really happy, and i got a few wistful glances. a lot of other people wished they had a daisy to carry around, too.
the other day i was thinking about how weird clapping is. why do we make that sound when we're showing we like something? i find it kind of obnoxious and bizarre. apparently it's been around practically forever, and it was really common in ancient rome. there were degrees of approval that they could show, and i guess snapping meant you liked it even more than if you clapped. oh, and deaf people clap by waving their hands in the air.
fun fact- in indonesia, instead of rock, paper, scissors, it's earwig, human, elephant. as wikipedia says "the earwig is able to climb into the elephant's ear and drive it insane, while the human crushes the earwig and the elephant crushes the human."
