CUPID'S ARROW: In which I proclaim my love for... GIFS!

Hi, I'm Bethany and I'm a .gif addict.

It's true.

In the last few months, I've become completely addicted to GIFS. Not because they're a lazy busy writer's BFF when it comes to whipping out a blog post, but because there's some great imagery clogging up the Internet and sometimes a perfectly-placed visual is the BEST way to make a word come to life.

For example, if I wanted to say I was happy that today is Friday, I could simply say, 

"TGIF!"

But wouldn't it be more impactful if I attached this little number to that statement?

Now you KNOW how happy I am, right?

Or, in this case, I could tell you I was feeling blue because I stubbed my toe last night while taking out the trash. This might tug on your heartstrings for about half a second, but that's nothing compared to the emotions this visual will conjure up:

Whoops, that's the image I searched on for 'train wreck'.

I meant this one: *apologizes*

See...you're feeling something now aren't you?!

And it gets even better!

Por ejemplo:

Exhausted =  



Hysterical =

Nervous =



Adorable =



If you're not feeling these GIFS, then your heart is frozen and the cold never bothered you anyway...

But if you're an emotion-driven being like the good Lord intended you to be, then you'll not only support my love of GIFS but you'll embrace it yourself.
