What makes you happy?

[Calibanbutcher]

Well, seeing as today is my birthday and I got lots of happiness today, I decided to open a positive thread on here to ask all of you:

What makes YOU happy?

And what has made you happy today?

Everything is fine, from the small things, such as being the first to dip your knife into a freshly opened glass of nutella, to having someone bake you a cake, to getting presents or maybe just being complimented.

So, tell me, what makes you feel all fuzzy-wuzzly-warm inside?
But please, do not ooze your happy-goo all over the forums.
Hurray.

Me?
Watching a new episode of a show I like.
Finding an extra chicken McNugget in the box.
Having miscalculated the amount of cookies I have left over in my favour.
Having someone tell me they "like my style".
Having my little sister ask to be carried by me.
Listening to music.
Going to concerts and staying late to manage to get to the state exist and actually meet my hero.
Hanging out with friends, deciding that we are all hungry and cooking something completely ridiculous.
Funny captchas.
Being messaged / quoted on these forums (I like being acknowledged).

Your mum's boobs.

Recently, biking to top of the huge hill I need to bypass to get home from work.

It's like, the best thing ever.

 

[Marter]

Just today?

Remembering that I don't have school today.
Remembering that The Scorpion King 3 exists.
Remembering that I have a friend coming over in a few hours.
Remembering that The Scorpion King 3 exists.
Listening to Nightwish.
Remembering that The Scorpion King 3 exists.
Chatting with the friend-peoples.

It's been a good day of thinking about Scorpion King 3. And I've only been up for a couple of hours.

My cat Thor wanting attention made me happy. But then I got sad because I could only pet him for a few minutes before going to work

Having just washed my hair makes me happy. I get mad volume, volume that would make ANY 80's movie star drool with envy.

Finding carrot cake in my fridge. My roomie is a messy SOB, but living with a professional cook has it's benefits...

Waking up on my furry bed sheets... They are so soft... So nice...

I don't like to admit becoming really happy when I find some really cute shoes that fit me perfectly.. I tend to be a pretty boyish girl, but sometimes the princess in me takes over and I just want to wear some high heeled boots dammit!

Your avatar. That one made me happy too... I have no clue about anime or where it's from, but it made me giggle and thats good enough for me!

 

[Dragoon]

Lots of things really but recently it'd be finally having a working PC. Other than that I'll go with hanging out with some good friends and playing video games, I love playing with other people splitscreen, I miss the good old days...

 

[Esotera]

Gardening. There's an old proverb that if you want to remain happy for a few hours, you should get drunk, for a few days, you should go on holiday, and for a lifetime, you should take up gardening. I also like Fridays, and drinking a few glasses of wine on them.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Recently? That awesome LoL torney last night, I only got to see the Group A sections but it was amazing. THE DOUBLE TELEPORT SPLITPUSH TURNABOUT OHMAIGAWDWHATDAFAQ?!?!?!?!?

I also like watching new anime episodes and new videos from certain Youtube subs.

There's also nothing better than a perfectly aimed cross map Trueshot Barrage. Nothing. Never change Ezreal. Don't you fucking change.

HRRRRRRAGH! *PEW* wait for it... Wait for it. Any second now... *Sizzle* You have slain an enemy!

Just listening to this song makes me happy.


It. Never. Gets. Old.

 

[Swyftstar]

That cake batter frozen yogurt I just had made me happy as hell. Quitting time on Friday is pretty cool and only about 4 hours away. Hanging and joking around with friends and family is always good too.

Captcha: It's Super Delicious. mmm, I want another yogurt now. They had cookies and cream today too.

- Beer, and the consumption thereof.

- Seeing/ talking to people I've not seen for ages and catching up. There's something nice about the fact that even if you've not seen a person for over a year, they still acknowledge you and you can pick up where you left off.

- Meeting new people and chatting to them.

- Catching mosquitoes with one hand as they fly around my room and squishing them. Feel like Obama did when he ended that fly.

- This song.

Quite a few things make me happy:

My pets, my two dogs Rosie and Regan and my three cats Smudge, Stretchy and Tribble.
My wonderful and fantastic boyfriend, he never fails to make me smile like a lunatic.
My amazing and supportive family. We have our ups and downs but we are a very close family.
My great and wide collection of books. I love books so much. I couldn't ever sell a single one of them. I want to have a house one day with a room dedicated to books.
My videogames. They have always been there for me, for whatever mood I'm in.
Talking to old friends. Was talking to an old friend yesterday, she had just moved to paris for a year and our friendship seemed rocky, but we were talking like it had never been rocky at all.
Playing League of Legends and playing it well. Starting to use Sivir again and actually been kicking buttocks with her.
Watching movies. I have enough DVD's to start up my own DVD rental thing I love spending time watching them, talking to them about people after, watching them with friends or family.
Going on long walks through the forests at the back of my house. I discover something new each and everytime. I've yet to find the huge ditch and swing I found a year ago I will find you one day swing! Only have a few weeks to go before I move, and I will find it!
Music. Just chilling out, listening to good music while I play Harvest Moon, chatting to my boyfriend and friends while I do on skype, is pure bliss to me. Or listening to music while out and about. I can't help but dance and smile like a goof.
A nice drink of pepsi or coke or apple juice at the end of the day. Just feels fantastic!
Watching Sweeney Todd. I know I mentioned films already. But god damn I love that film so much. I really want to see it on stage one day. Gods I love the theater. Could spend every evening there if I had the money!
Trips to see my grandma. She lives in Eastborne, by the sea, it's lovely to spend time with family and go out for lunch and a walk along the sea.

I have plenty more! But I will stop there, this post is already getting too long

Finding an extra chicken McNugget in the box.

I call foul; nobody ever gets an extra McNugget. They have a system in place to see it never happens. Although if you have found an extra McNugget good on you...It's just such a rare occurrence...like a 4-leaf clover only it clogs the arteries...and tastes good.

I'm alright today. What really makes me happy though is listening to a really good song. Like this one for example:


Ya know what else makes me happy for reasons I just can't and probably don't want to understand? The movie Punisher: War Zone. More than once that movie flung me from a pit of depression into the clouds of manic elation!

 

[Casual Shinji]

As for today:

Watching Laputa: Castle in the Sky on blu-ray.
Playing Resident Evil 4.
Drawing a pretty damn good cartoon.

 

[Gizmo1990]

My cat Thor wanting attention made me happy. But then I got sad because I could only pet him for a few minutes before going to work

That is the BEST name for a cat ever and I hate you for thinking of it first.

OT:
Today I managed to make one of my sister smile, she has been having a bad time with my arsehole parents and I have been trying to take her mind of it for weeks. I found £20 under my keyboard and a friend of mine finaly found out that her girlfriend was cheating on her, ditched her arse and came round to apologise to me (I told her and she did not belive me, had a big fight). All in all a really good day. Normally my days are boring and uneventfull.

And I just preordered my copy of the next book in the Dresden Files series. Amazon was slow in taking orders.

Just the best day

When bad people get punished for their deeds.
Also, annoying people I despise.

They may be related somehow.

 

[Rawne1980]

Beer.
My wife.
Beer.
My kids.
Beer.
Steak.
Beer.

Not always in that order.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

The look of fear in the eyes of my enemies as they draw their last, rattling, breath...

and pudding.

Creativity, vice and entertainment - many specifics, best in combination(s).

 

[Popadoo]

Looking back at an animation I've created.
Bringing a character to life is so damn rewarding.
EDIT: Also ponies.

Being alive and healthy . Obligatory answer I aside, I am currently in a library listening to Strobe by Deadmau5 and browsing my favourite forum. That makes me happy.
