So I'm super bored and I think we need more feel-good in this forum after the recent tragic events involving a former staff member.

So what are the little things in life that make you happy? Just brighten your day or get you super excited even though it's maybe dumb to other people?

I know i used to love waking up in the morning and checking my autobuyer lol. But for me that is consistent is when I add a bunch of music to my playlist since I usually do it in bunches. I can't wait till I'm in the car or walking so I can listen to all the new music. Another is when I go to a restaurant and I get my meal that I'm looking forward to. It just...makes me so happy haha. Or when I come home and my parents went grocery shopping and there's just SO MUCH FOOD.

What are the small things that make you happy? Talk to me.

Oh, or when I see punk make a long post on the forum. Because it'll 100% be hilarious

I have billions of things that make me happy. I have a little notebook I keep in my purse and when I find something that makes me happy, I write it down.



My daughter, watching the sunrise on the lake, finding a codestone on the floor, writing something BA, freshly shaved legs, getting texts from yung, food, driving with the radio on

aw bog you are so cute! i already LOVE this thread!
i am a fan of little things. there are SO MANY that make me happy and hyper and all. first of all: CATS! when i wake up and there is a cat in my bed next to me, purring and looking adorable, that really makes my day! i furthermore totally love the first coffee after waking up. it always tastes extra awesome and makes me feel so alive! i also love when i come here and have pms from my loved ones, like punk (because it will be 100% hilarious) or manda (because it will be 100% darrencriss). new nc items make me happy, especially wigs. only if i have nc tho, lol. but mostly i do. oh, food makes me happy aswell! i am a horrible cook and usually just eat bread and carrots during the week. so when at the weekends my moms bf comes and cooks a super awesome veggy meal for us, it makes me happy for ages! i bet there are a billion more things i can't think of right now. so i will just add them later.

Haha of course cats are involved <3

Some other things I thought of:

When I'm on tinychat and Strat comes on cam (boner) and then I see Jayson running around and playing in the background.
When I get a PM/text from someone I want to talk to, and they just want to chat and not ask for a favour
When I'm able to make perfect change for a purchase
When my parents say "Let's go out to eat"
When I can be home alone, so I can sing in the shower.

I like taking walks during dusk, feels refreshing. Other than that though, life's really dull right now.

This reminds me of the book of Awesome.

All these things you guys are posting you could find some in that book. If you guys don't know what it is, it was written by Neil Pasricha, a guy whose life was so shit he decided to cheer himself up by writing a book about all the little things in life that would bring joy to someone. The book is everywhere in Toronto, I'm not sure about other places but it's pretty cool.

In terms of the things that make me happy...
- Checking your phone, and seeing the message you received was from the person you wanted it to be from
- Plugging my laptop in when the battery is nearly dead
- When I wake up easily in the morning, without feeling like I'm dying
- Waking up when no one is at home
- Drinking cold cold bottled water before bed
- Not being able to put down a really good book
- Getting a fresh piercing
- Air drying after a shower, as well as sitting around in just a towel/naked
- When no one asks me questions

Those are pretty much it.

In no particular order:

Going grocery shopping alone
Waking up before my kids do
Scot
Getting A's on everything
Making more NP than Scot in a day
Reading
When one or both of my kids want to cuddle
Feeling like I have helped someone

What I am most happy about right now is my friends and the fact that I still have them ♥

I know what you mean about the music. I did the same when I used to live in london and travel on buses. Having new music always made me not dread a long journey. Now I just walk everywhere. My uni is literally 5 minutes away from me.
and with groceries, I am the same lol Although I've moved out so I do my own shopping. With the auto buyer I can relate because I used to leave my habitarium on all night and wake up to loads of purple gems. That made me happy lol

I remember I used to always play call of duty with my mates in a private lobby late at night. We used to play games like gun game, sticks and stones etc over and over until like 2am.

For me now it's things like coming back home after a long day at uni and having a cup of tea, knowing I have the next day off.
Also, ordering a nice meal to my apartment and watching a cool movie.



Oh yeah, also finding new songs make me happy lol

I love getting absolutely shit wrecked with my best friend and waking up in the morning asking what happened. Slowly, we recollect what happen, ask around for clues, etc. Also, texts seem to add into the mix. Makes for interesting stories.

I love waking up before the sun rises to enjoy the sunrise while drinking coffee and watching the morning news.
(I hate waking up after the sun rises, idk why. lol I also hate it when I stay up late and the sun rises without me ever being asleep. Why even go to sleep? -.-)

I love watching movies that make me emotional, it makes me feel so happy.

I love it when you have a silence with someone and it isn't awkward at all.

I also love it when I see something from my childhood. I love nostalgia.

Hmmm...~

  • Being with Ash/Marmar (my bestest friend everrrr I love her so much ;w; )/pretty much any online friends in real life~
  • Going for walks by myself at like 5am or so
  • Finishing off a huge drawing or map (and being happy with how it came out!)
  • Sweets!
  • Being cuddled and comforted ♥
  • Not getting spammed with oceans of mesasages on WLM/Skype/IRC when I'm busy
Plus lots of other things, but I can't really remember them right now, hehehe~ Damn you bad moods ;_;
Having a window seat on some long haul, overnight flight is pretty sweet too ♥ It's amazing watching the sun rise when you're up 40k feet up in the air :3
