I'm super happy escapist, how bout you?

[DesiPrinceX09]

Okay escapist, we saw a thread about bad stuff happening to you lately; so what about good stuff? I hate seeing so many negative topics! We need more positive topics!! So I am bringing you this one to share how happy I've become and how happy everyone else is.

Let me start by saying that I am one of the many escapist members that has never ever been in a real relationship (even though I am 20) and thought I would never be in one in a million years. I am somewhat of a typical quiet, nerdy, nice guy gamer and I've noticed in the past that a lot of guys like me are single (some are fine with it, others are not). So awhile back I made a new friend through playing games on PSN that is female which is not that unusual since I've had and do have female friends. However, I got to know her a lot more. We chatted and talked on the phone pretty much daily after playing online. And I wasn't looking for a girlfriend or anything at all so I never had any of that stuff in my mind. And when I got to know her from hanging out, talking on the phone and online, I realized she has pretty much everything i like in a girl and is extremely compatible with me. After becoming good friends with her, I started developing romantic feelings for her over the course of a few weeks and then one day I decided i was brave enough to tell her.

I pretty much poured my heart out and confessed my love and all that stuff. What happened? She turned me down and said she didn't feel the same and wasn't ready to have a relationship. Why is this thread about happiness when she turned me down? Well keep reading!

We remained friends and I waited patiently. After turning me down she later told me she would give me a chance and that she felt there was a possibility of us being together. Hearing all that gave me hope so I kept my chin up and just acted like a normal friend around her without talking about anything more and not having ulterior motives in my mind since there was no guarantee that she would develop feelings for me. She greatly appreciated my patience and understanding. As she got to know me further, she realized she was just scared of opening up to me because she wants a good, stable relationship (which is exactly what I want). It turns out i am everything she loves in a guy as well and said that she loved me to

So now our relationship is coming along great and the step of meeting the parents and knowing each others family will soon be at hand!

I am texting her as we speak telling her that I love her

So tell me escapists, what GOOD things have happened to you recently? Especially if they are relationship related like my story. Did you get the girl you wanted? Did you show her how much you loved her? And of course for ladies: did you get the guy?

Lets talk happiness!

I turned 21 today. Yayy. And that's about it.

I also have a tale of gamers finding exactly what they want in each other! It's a little bittersweet though, so bear with it.

I went to Holland to stay with my friend for a while in the holidays and, whilst there, I met his ex with whom he was still on good terms. She was fun, beautiful, a massive geek (just like me) - pretty much everything I'd been looking for back home. Turned out she must have seen something particularly appealing about me too because she stayed over that night, in my bed. We didn't go 'all the way' or anything like that, but it was probably the best night I've had in a long time.
Anyway, I went home the next day but for weeks afterwards I couldn't get her out of my head. I was terrified: terrified that I'd fall in love with this distant girl and even more terrified that she would just have forgotten me after my last night there. But soon, we got to talking online and after a few weeks of that she confessed that she liked me, a lot. I was pretty thrilled, obviously, and I told her I felt the same. Just a couple of obstacles.
1) She's my best friend's ex.
2) The North Sea - I'm in England, she's in Holland.

That first problem was erased when I told my friend about it, with apologies and such, but he didn't mind at all. Hell, he was even supportive. The second one, however, is a bit trickier. I'm going to try and fly over there soon to stay with her for a week.

So yeah, that's my little story, and that's what made me feel pretty damn happy recently.

Good for you.

On my end...

On the happy side, I'm taking a "games as literature" this semester where bioshock and Braid are on the list of games we are studying, and I'm taking the course with my GF (whom I've been happily dating for a good 7 months now ^_^). Oh, and I'm playing through the new Deus Ex, which is amazing.

On the downside...the rest of my courses are tough and confusing (even on the first day), and my wednesdays are awful. From 8 AM to 10 PM, with only a 15 break after 1PM, meaning eating supper is annoying to fit in. >_<

So on the whole, doing neutral-good-ish.

I can't think of any. My birthday was a couple weeks ago, but that was during a hurricane so it doesn't really count.

 

[smearyllama]

I'm pretty happy.
I met the last of my teachers for this year today, and they're all pretty nice.
I have a little bit of homework left, but it's just some vocab/worksheets, and I made a textbook cover earlier. After the homework is done, I plan on playing Final Fantasy IV on my PSP.
Also, I just turned fifteen on Monday (the day before school started :/)

All in all, I'm doing great! Thanks for asking!

 

[FallenRainbows]

Spoiler: I'm being miserable ignore me

In the middle of arguing with my Girlfriend over msn (of all things I mean REALLY) and she is considering leaving me. Yay.

So no; I'm not very happy at all. Not to be a downer of anything I just felt like venting

 

[souper soup guy]

I started school again, and after I've always been a bit of a quiet little nerd, mostly keeping to myself, staying in my little shell. This year though, I made a decision to try new and different things, and I've met huge success, I'm part of a school play, I've met, or gotten to know, a bunch of great people, and my life feels a lot better than it ever has before.

Life is good.

 

[Rarhnor]

I turned 21 today. Yayy. And that's about it.

That's cool. you get to be considered a grown up now.

An okay day. Nothing "WUHU!" worthy, with my broken angle, but i got to stay home from work and watch X-files all day long, so yeah. Can't complain.

 

[Kuroneko97]

My head hurts. I don't know why.
My tooth hurts. I need a dentist.
My legs hurt. We did a shitload of running in P.E. the last few days.

So...I'm not really all that fine.

 

[Magikarp]

Threads like this make me even more unhappy.

 

[thylasos]

Not so much. I've only got thirty pounds in my bank account, no JSA until Monday, and a massive council tax bill, which has probably had an extra £100 whacked on, since I only just realised I was liable to pay for my last couple of months in my university town, before I moved back to my parent's home, and unemployment. Lameness.

Still, drinks with a few mates who I've not seen in a couple of years, tomorrow. If I'm definitely going into my overdraft, I'm going to have some fun before that happens, then I can worry about it after the fact, hopefully paying it off when I get some work.

 

[staika]

I'm happy because......... Wait why am I happy? I just always seem to be in a good mood for some reason which for some reason can annoy people. I don't get how they can be so gloomy when a freak thunderstorm started during class and they have to walk half way across the campus in the rain and as they just stand there praying to the rain gods that the rain stops I just skip my way out of the door into the rain and skip all the way to my car. I shit you not.

Other recent things I'm happy about, well it's cold today and I have to work but since it's cold out I don't have to bag ice at my job (worst part of my job) and I can sit here and write this post. Also its really slow today for some reason so I can just relax and do my homework or just continue to post on the escapist and not do it till tonight.

EDIT: Just happened: Someone just told me that I was their favorite worker. if that doens't put a smile on your face what does.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Well despite finding out my car isn't working again after sinking 400 bucks into it to fix it, I'm doing alright. I'm just a fairly optimistic person. Yeah I got mad about it but I'm over it. Getting furious doesn't fix anything so I'm just chillaxing on my favorite site. Not super happy but content all things considered.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Other peoples' happiness makes me angry.

 

[Rawne1980]

I'm always happy me.

My kids are fantastic my wife is amazing and the pets ........ well they still shit a lot and need cleaning out daily ......... should have got a dog instead of all the small things ... the snake isn't so bad he only needs cleaning once a week.

Space Marine should be floating through my letterbox on Friday (gotta love UK release dates) and then i've just got a few weeks to wait until Skyrim.

Life is pretty great.

 

[Mandalore_15]

Um, sorry to be the fly in the ointment but I am currently feeling pretty shit. My girlfriend just stormed off to bed in a mood with me and I have no idea why (as usual). Also, we never have sex any more. Now tell me that life is great. (¬_¬)

 

[Dominic Burchnall]

After being severely ill for the opening of this week, I'm now on the mend and getting my appetite and mobility back. I've had nights out with a load of old secondary school friends that I've met up with again after a year of sectioning, and we've all got plans to meet up again soon, and I've had some of my first paid work, freelance on a friends' farm. So, yeah, been a pretty good week for me. Well done Mr Optimist, "Always look on the bright side of life!" *DE DUM, DE DUM DE DUM DE DUM*

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I'm pretty happy. Nothing's brought me down recently that I know of.

 

[Section Crow]
