That is so...

... nice! Anyway. It's 7.20 am, which is quite awful, and I was thinking about something last night which I wanted to tell you about... but I've forgotten. Hmm. I had best phone Katie. She always knows what I was going to say. Then again, it's pretty early. Then again, I don't care.

--------------------

OK, so the other day I read a story. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I've no reason to not believe the person telling me. It was possibly the sweetest thing I've ever read, and has inspired me to do something similar. Anyway, there is a man and he is married to a woman. The woman's parents are dead. Every time they go to visit her parent's graves, they walk through the graveyard which seems to be over-populated by the graves of children. Because they take more flowers than is necessary every time they he gets rid of the old flowers and lays new ones, and then gives the grave a wash and a clean. Not sweet enough? One visit he was bent down giving a gravestone a wipe, when a woman walks up and says, "Who are you?". He replies, "No one you know", before his wife walks up and says, "He does this every time we visit. He just picks a child and leaves a couple of flowers. This just happened to be your turn."

The next day there is a message in the local newspaper from the woman from the grave, it reads something like, "A heartfelt thank you to the kind stranger at the cemetery."

Absolutely gorgeous, and about time we did something similar. I feel tired from thinking about myself, and it's about time we give something back. Going to try to get something organised at some point later this week. Not sure what, because I can't just do that idea, but I want to do something that brightens one person's day. As long as it doesn't cost £hundreds because I've already spent that on acquiring my new house.

Nah, I'm kidding. That'd be incredible tu quoque - and you know me, I'd hate to violate fallacy laws. Time to exam! Enjoy the story as much as I did.

Nailed the exam. Great mood. Challenge for anyone still reading: name the nicest act you can think of, and if I can manage it I will go through with it.

So I am seeing Avatar 3D in a few hours, and I'm so happy. I cannot wait. Imlyksprsrs here. I've been wanting to see it for weeks, and everyone had seen it, or was going home, or didn't want to see it. I was so tempted to go by myself, but fortunately one of my housemates is coming with me ;D! Hoorah. So that's good news. I've been contemplating my above challenge and have yet to come up with anything other than 'volunteer more'. I really want to go somewhere like a soup kitchen, but I think most of them are run by the religious right -- and I'm really not sure that I and the organisers would see eye-to-eye. So to speak. Not sure. Help?

I've just had a bud of an idea, hopefully I can water it with brain and it will sprout into a delightful, fully-formed idea-plant. I'm going to take 7 of my friends, and dedicate a day to each of them. Do anything they want to do, take them anywhere they want to go; do whatever they want. Basically. Just dedicate the day to making them happy. There's not enough happiness at university; and it's about time someone started to do something. I'm giddy on my mindless optimism and cheesy joy. It will never work, but I'm'a give it my best shot ;D!
