The Happiness Thread

That is awesome!!!!


ETA: Ha ha--they ^^^keep perfect time with the song above.

 

Had to pull my laptop apart to do a bit of maintenance and I decided that while I had it apart, I'd zazz it up a bit and try to cover the ugly, worn out, grey and silver paint it had on it.

Spoiler: for size

Maybe a bit flashy, and definitely not the best paint job I've ever done, but it definitely looks better than it did.

 

I've been known for sharing bits and parts of my love life on this forum. I've talked about the shitty brake up, I've talked about my dating and I've talked about my lovely life as a single, right? I've even made a point to try to make Writingforum.org a proper dating site.

I fear, though, that this season of "Writing Forum Bachelorette" will have to be canceled!

I'm happy, thrilled and thankful to have been dating this really lovely guy for the past month. Job might be stressful, but I feel secure in having someone who's always there for me, and that is really important. So, yes, happy Lemie in love! Would would've thought.

 

Were does the hands usually go on celebrating hugs?

The new dress is still waiting for it's occasion, but I'm sure it won't disappoint me!

 

You made my day a little better. It was already good but your post still added a smile.
Take care of eachother.
Did you tell him of your post?

 

Not really. I think I've told him enough about how I feel without this forum post, but I guess it could be a sweet way to show him I care enough to brag online

But I'm glad that I could bring some smiles this evening.

And since I happen to know it's late where you are - have a good night!

 

You're a skilled hugger, I can tell! You should write books on the subject

 

I'm happy today because my parents had a snow day (they work at the same location) and I got to have nice, lengthy conversations with them both this morning.

 

There was just last week something in DN or SVD (Swedish newspapers) something about this social media thing that makes it easy to "cheat" a little.
I mean you are on this dating site (WF) . You are still active even though you have found someone. There are discussions about this dress that has not yet been used. There is talk of bums and bras and certain other males are givin hugs. Let's be a little careful here.

It's late but this time 22.00 - 00.00 is my writing time. Wife and dog are asleep and I try to write something for the flash contest.

 

Haha, indeed.

I did get rid if my Tinder, though, so it's a start. Not leaving this place, though I should becoming more active with actually writing related things. I've been slacking of a bit since I started my job!

Though maybe I should take it easy with dresses and hugs. Just to be safe!

 

Woo-hoo! Tonight is the last night of the term for one of my evening jobs, so I'll be able to be home for dinner for a month or so before the next session starts, and I don't have any work tomorrow and...

...Mrs. A is going to her family's house this evening. I'll be joining them for the weekend starting tomorrow night, so I've got the evening all to myself and no responsibilities!

Now what did I used to do when I was single?

 

Going to the bar to pick up is probably still off limits.

 

That's it!

God, I was so afraid someone was going to mention something about friends. I'd already thought of that, and I don't have any anymore.

 

You could always do what I do when I get the rare night alone. Just sit quietly in the living room and face the mountain of decisions that have shaped your life to this point. Tease them apart and dissect them. try to guess how your life might have been different had you made one different decision, then wait to see if the emptiness swallows you whole.

When my girls were younger, I would do something really exciting and sleep.

 

Don't forget twirling around in your desk chair really fast and shouting "Wheeeeee!"

Not advised after pizza. The others? Knock yourself out.

 

I am happy because somebody was nice enough to remind me that I am
not a freak of nature, and that hope is a good thing to have (even if it ends
in less than pleasant circumstance).

 

Actually....

I could do what I used to when I was single. i.e. go to the bar, sit in the corner talking to no one, and nurse a beer wishing I had the courage to try and chat someone up.

Nah, Mrs. A would still know, and although we aren't religious, I think she still abides by Matthew 5:27-28 rules.

Internet don't count, as long as I use private browsing and close all my tabs, so we're back to the @Homer Potvin plan.

 

Well, enjoy being like everyone else, I'll just stick to being the odd duck in the bunch.

 

I am abnormal in a sense.
