my girlfriend wanted to find a book at a local book store. we went in. 5 min of her reading a book, i hear the sound of darth vaders mask right behind me. i turned around to see darth, chewbaca little anni skywalker, 3 storm troopers, a sand creature. and a few others walking strait at me. it was a book signing for some star wars author. i turned from a bored 43year old to an excited 5 year old in a blink of an eye. what kind of random experiences have you had?
One of the meanings of "cockle" is the chamber of a kiln: in reference to the heart, it refers to the chambers, of which there are four (two atria and two ventricles). The heart has always been associated with emotions, especially love, excitement and fear, probably because when we feel a strong emotion we feel our heart thumping and beating faster. So when something "warms the cockles of our heart", it is a reference to something pleasant that makes our heart beat faster and makes us feel good. It is probably also the origin of the saying that something gives us that "warm and fuzzy feeling".

WOW I can't believe you're the same person as your other pic. What a transformation.
