How do you re-happy yourself?

Girlfriend. She makes me happy, even though I sometimes don't show it when I'm depressed, but I'm happy inside and it takes a while for it to set in.
Also music, and I used to listen (and still do, I guess) to depressive songs when I'm upset or anything, but she would sometimes tell me to listen to happy music, which in my case is Korpiklaani (how can you not smile while listening to it?), so that makes me happy, and then it makes me think of her, so it's a win/win.
Not sure what else. Video games usually make it worse now-a-day, but that's probably due to my 360 freezing every while. Other than that, I don't know what else works. It's hard for most people to cheer me up.
Edit: Lifting weights works, but that's just fix that just gets me so tired that I don't even want to think; just shower and lay down after.

I usually just forget about whatever it is that's troubling me and hope it goes away by itself. That tends not to work well. Otherwise, I simply gravitate towards the World Wide Web. There are so many things that I enjoy watching and reading and listening to, all easily within my grasp that I easily forget everything else. That tends not to work well either...
Also, re-happy is not a word. I know it's incredibly petty of me to mention something like this, but I will still do it anyway.

I do something that makes me happy, or that taxes my mind and body enough that I'm not thinking about whatever upset me. Usually this involves a long walk and music that I have to force myself to remember lyrics to.
