Back story to the title of today's blog post is a late-night-drifting-off-to-sleep-epiphany that was greeted with a "What the what" when I woke up. The title of today's blog post will be some what irrelevant to the rest of today's blog post.
This is not going to be an exposition into why, what, how love is but rather a statement of the facts and recent findings.
For as long as I can remember, I have always thought love was somewhat superflous. I just didn't see how it was necessary. My rationale was: "If we have friends, why do we need anymore than that." Ah, foolish child. I'm not saying that I now crave some sort of romance in my life of which it is devoid, (Surprise, surprise) but I think i'm beginning to acknowledge love has become one of those things that transcends all forms of reasoning. Why this change of heart, I hear you say. Well I think you should look through the full series on Amanda Jones' blog called, "My Better Half"
At first I was pulled in by the dapper looking couples and the amazing design skills that were going on there:
See what I mean?
Aren't they just gorgeous? Anyway, as I was saying I was first pulled in by the what-nots and hoo-hahs but then I actually read the little description, the fine print beneath these wonderful pictograms. Suddenly, I realized something that made the pictograms wasn't just a really nice camera and good photography skills or even the cute little design elements but the fact that the subjects of the photos are real, interesting people connected by a strange force much like gravity (or not) that leads to ridiculous (but not so) events like marriage after three months of courtship. The love isn't just evident in the facade but also what lies beneath it:
"She was beautiful, without trying. Every word we spoke together became more significant."

Makes you think don't it? Well it certainly made me sit up and reconsider!

Time to ruin the mood with my face! All right!
This is my outfit for today, I haven't any other pictures because I hadn't really bothered.
My room has changed a bit! Why thank you for noticing! All the better to dance around in.
I'm not going to try and break down the outfit for you, except to tell you that I will now begin to wear thigh high slash knee high socks because I have decided that they don't make my legs look fat anymore and they make my legs extra warm.
Excuse the hands, but take note of the nails. I have been wanting to combine these colours together for a while now, but as solid colours they look shocking together. So this is my alternative.
Crafternoon update:
This is what I made this week:
Snaps for Melodee, for these full of wonder pictures.
It is a Heartless (as well as backless) dress, as dubbed by Melodee. It's rather cute, and I made it for Melodee, at her request. How could you turn away such a pretty face.
I also made the pinafore I am wearing in today's post. But that, my children, was another time and another place.
Enough of feelings things, let us return to apathy and guard our frail human souls from the torment that is emotion.
That's me for the week,
Over and out,
This Little Pig.
