Things that cheer you up after a bad day.

[ThatTallGuy]

Well I've been having a rough few days. Lots of bad news has come my way, and it seems like life is just piling up on me, but I'm not trying to sound all emo about it. Well earlier tonight I received some interesting advice. I was told by a friend to have pleasant dreams of chocolate and whipped cream. To which someone else added "On top of someone." This got me to smile, which has greatly improved my mood.

That got me thinking. What are some things that cheer up you, my fellow Escapists?

For me, it's usually a funny, random comment like the one mentioned earlier, or talking to my lady friend. Or videos of kittens riding on roombas.

Spoiler: For example

Roomba kittens are always quite funny.

For me it's like you say, someone saying something so unexpected and random I have to laugh, but the more someone says 'cheer up!' the more grouchy I am ha.

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

Music, usually. I'm a committed metalhead, although the more upbeat stuff helps (Sonata Arctica is my usual choice), but I'll often listen to the Beatles or the Who as well.

Spoiler: Beetels

Spoiler: Metul

Or just talking to my friends. Furburt never fails to cheer me up, either here or on the phone.

 

[Shockolate]

Lol at 0:20. The kitty fell off XD. I am delightfully amused.

For me, it would have to be a really good meal. Like Barbecue Chicken and potato wedges. Or pizza. Or lasagna. Or KFC. Or a box of Pop-tarts.

God, I wish I had some pop-tarts right now. The past two days for me suck big time.

 

[Maquette]

The Macho Man Randy Savage's early 1990s vignettes always cheer me up.

Spoiler: OHHHHHH YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

 

[thahat]

shooter games & cola
or
the girlfriend XD

Michael, a bag of Doritos, stripping down to my underwear and watching Death Note, then killing bitches on CoD. <3

 

[Raikov]

Well, this usually cheers me up. And I recognize myself in it, not what they do but the feelings they are displaying.

The Escapist, of course!

The music on my Itunes. Playing video games. Hanging out with friends.

There are many fun things in life.

 

[Shaegor]

Fuzzy moments from any sort of anime or manga.
That or a good round of any multiplayer game.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

After a brutal day at work, nothing beats coming home to my darling love, and curling up with her for hours and playing video games on her.

Also, my wife is pretty nice, I guess.

That song actually, "Bad Day" by Daniel uh... Singing always cheers me up! Been doing that a lot recently. Especially this song:

Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me

Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean

Gotta get away
Holy Diver!!!

 

[N_of_the_dead]

Shooter games, a good movie, hanging out with my friends and listen to music are the top ones

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

Beer and mates. simples.

 

[Hurray Forums]

Listening to music
Playing video games
Talking to people
Playing with my kitten.
Taking a shower(not that kind!)
Reading forums
Watching stupid videos on youtube
Watching cutesy anime(Strawberry Panic and ARIA are great for this)
Cookies

I'm pretty easy to cheer up.

 

[Srdjan]

Reading something good on forum, that always cheers me up, to know there are still smart people somewhere.

 

[Goremocker]

Well I would say drawing or writing but I don't seem to have the talent to put my words or visions on paper.So I space out and day dream about stories that I make up.I'll also play video games or sometimes read if I'm interested enough.Oh,and I can't forget that I come to the escapist when feeling down.

Also

Taking a shower(not that kind!)

He means "that" kind.
