Random Things That Make You Happy Thread

Watching 'Meet The Fockers'. Woohoo.

 

Having blizzard warnings--we're expected to get about 12 to 14 inches of snow tonight. This......is.....WISCONSIN!! *stands in a 300-esque pose*

he best part is that this is totally commonplace.

 

I miss Wisconsin. It was a great place to grow up. I also miss the open fires during winter.

Speaking of such, wood smoke, especially maple. My favorite smell in the world.

 

Blackadder - and dry wit.

 

I love Blackadder. One of the best British shows ever, by far.

 

Watching "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" makes me happy...I love it when he saves the sleigh.

Okay, I'm a big kid.

 

Last year a friend from church tried to give me a swim jacket..but we never found one that fit right. I had pretty much forgotten about it. Today, she came in with a card and $80 cash to make up for the jacket not fitting. So...$80 in unexpected money makes me happy. Also...knowing I wasn't forgotten.

 

Having school canceled today because of the outrageous amounts of snow.

 

Opening a new notebook, thick and blank and fragrant with infinite possibilities.

 

Oh gosh......don't you just love new notebooks? They feel so good in your hands, so blank and waiting to be filled up with so many things.


I love new notebooks too!!

 

Writing for the simple joy of putting words to paper...no agenda, no reason, no pressure, just writing for the pleasure.

 

Ah, yes!

I knew people would understand that here, even though most who know me don't.

Sharing a book with someone. When I loan out a favorite book to someone who has never read it before...and hearing them talk about he book as they discover things. It is like reading it again for the first time myself.

 

When a simple word sparks off an entire story, and you feel so restless that you have to start writing it immediately.

When the ideas/plot come to you so quickly that you swear you must've read it before, or seen it in a movie.

When you realise that you haven't, and that you might just be on to a really good idea....

 

Dancing around my dorm room for hours with music turned up. It's definitely my natural high. But now I need to take a shower...haha

 

Rock Band! =D

 

Going to one store and finding gifts for 4 different people...all for under $10 each. I rule.

 

Passing insanely hard tests with flying colors! Take that Survey of American Literature I!

 

I know - I got a 98 on a world history test just Wednesday that I thought I was going to die on. It was a hard test, too.

A nice hot drink to warm myself on a cold winters day.

 

Having my little brother over to spend the night at our house.

I didn't realize until I brought him over today that he's never been here before. And I've lived here for two years. Crazy!

 

Coming home to relax after a long day at work. =P

 

Second hand hardbacks with cute messages written in the inside to strangers.

Unexpected kisses.

Lovely smelling hair.

Randomly sticking on an episode of Frasier.

The quiet of the city at 5-6am when only the birds are up.

The feeling of moisturised legs on clean sheets.

But more than anything in the world, I think, Chocolate, tea and a gripping book.

Small pleasures with great love make for the greatest happiness.

 

When mammamaia agrees with me about a punctuation/grammar issue.

 

Snow falling on top of some six inches of earlier snow. Snow is the epitome of prettiness.
