click, click, click
March 28, 2009
My whole life I have been fascinated with buttons. Their look, their sound, and what they do. I suppose that that is one reason why I like blogging and working on the computer — I can hear the clicking of what I’m doing.
There are those times where I begin typing and going so fast that my family jokes about me needing to be careful so that my fingers don’t fly off. I find this quite a humorous thought, as usually when they say this I’m not really paying attention to how loud I am being.
When we go to garage sales and there is a keyboard there, I usually type on it to see if the clicks sound nice. On one occasion I liked the sound so well that I bought an old keyboard that would be of no use but to play with. We still have it, and I have never found another keyboard that sounded as clickishly wholesome.
Growing up, I always enjoyed watching the cashiers at the grocery store. And if I ever had the chance to look at all the keys they would push, I would, and try to figure out what each one was for. I liked the sound of the Enter button the best.
I still am fascinated by buttons, what they sound like, and what they do. I guess it’s just one of my quirks. A pleasant one I think . . . click, click, click.
While living the life my Lord has blessed me with, I am at home with my family enjoying being a daughter, homemaker and artist. My highest goal is to give glory to God and enjoy Him forever. It is He that has saved me with His amazing grace and is continually molding me; to Him I owe everything. Read more . . .
You make me smile! :)
I love your cute quirks. Thank you for putting your new link button on my blog. ;)
You are a dear sweet woman and I love you!
I hope you have a fantastic day!
Happy clicking!

LOL!:-)click,click,click!!!! what a cute little quirk!!;) and i LOVE the pix!!! God bless~ J@yde :)
There is definitely something satisfying about certain sounds, and clicks might be one of them! Also, certain smells are just wonderful, like old books, and each one of us likes a different smell, or a different sound. I find that amazing!
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

Clicking is such a happy happy thing . .. *sigh*
Love this post, darlin!
I love the sound of typing keys as well! Shannon has an old non-electronic typewriter and I love using it because of the sound of all the keys.

Oh the joys of clicking. When I was little my mom found a cash register on the side of the road and boy I love playing store with it. The register tape came out and it had a real cash drawer. We found a cash register at an auction for my kids to play store with. I think I love playing more than they do!
Hi Emily!
Cute post… Lauren has an old typewriter which she bought at an antique festival. It’s ever so vintagy!
I thought I’d drop by and let you know that I finally got around to posting a few of my England photos. If you’re interested, you might enjoy stopping by!

Oh, I would love to find an old typewriter some day – with wonderful melodic keys. How nice to have a computer/typewriter keyboard hybrid like this, eh? –> http://www.geeksugar.com/208806
Hello Emily Rose!
The photo of the typewriter is lovely and very a neat vintage photo!
It was such a blessing to meet you in person at the Father Daughter 09 Retreat!
Joyfully,
Elizabeth
I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I love choosing my keyboards by how they feel and what the clickity-clack sounds like. I’ve got a typewriter hidden in my closet (I need to find ribbon!) because there is no better clacking sound than that of a typewriter!
Exactly! Which is why my blog is named “Clickety-Clack”! My family jokes about the same thing…
Happy Clickety-Clacking,
Everly
Dear Emily Rose,
I love the feel of the keys and the sound they make when I push them down. Great to know I’m not the only one who loves the clickety-clack.
Great post,
Elizabeth
