I genuinely pity people who think it silly to get excited about little things. These are the types of people who like to "save" their enthusiasm for big moments, like marriage and birth and all that crap. It's as though they think that they have a limited amount of excitement stored up in them and that if they expend it on nonsense they won't have any left for the things that really matter. Well I say to them: FIDDLE DEE DEE! We're all capable of unlimited love and unlimited excitement.
I, for one, take great pleasure in the simplest and stupidest of things. For instance, I'm in a positive tizzy about a new TV show airing on HBO this Sunday. Is it going to be life changing? Probably not, but one never knows. But that doesn't stop me from letting my anticipation carry me forward on a wave of giddiness and barely coherent babbling. Now I ask you, is it better to be the one scowling in the corner proclaiming in a joyless voice "it's just a television show" or the one smiling and skipping along, heart full of song because something so silly can bring her so much pleasure?
I thought so.
