What makes you happy?

[TangoDelahunt]

A lot of people like to focus on the bad aspects of life. Stress from work, school, or relationship (or the lack of one) can weigh down on people. However, what is often overlooked are the things that make us happy. This is intended to be a feel good thread. Let us know what makes you happy!


I'll go first.


1) fishing
2) bowling
3) indoor gardening
4) listening to really smooth music
5) swimming in the ocean when it's warm enough.
6) cuddling with Vizaxyn or Brace.
7) listening to a distant thunderstorm.

-Finding oldies tracks I like that I haven't listened to before
-Looking out my picture window on a sunny day
-When a certain online movie reviewer reviews a film I'm interested in
-Knocking things off my daily to do list
-Getting into tickle fights with my boyfriend
-Hearing the music of an ice cream truck

And a TON of other stuff

[Tiger]

1) Pets, especially my mom's dog Yogi (he always makes me smile)
2) Watching bad movies/sci-fi shows with my dad
3) My family and friends (cliche, but true)
4) Art, of course! Both creating and viewing. Lately I've gotten a huge amount of inspiration from watching Bob Ross.
5) Going up north every year to my best friend's grandma's house on a lake. Everything is awesome there but I just love laying on the pontoon boat and gazing at the stars.
6) Cuddling with stuffed animals
7) Pretty much anything tiger related

Anything artsy and or pretentious

[FlynnCoyote]

Humm... Let's see...

Animated Kiddie movies. The like of Kung Fu Panda, Alpha and Omega, Despicable Me and any number of similar flicks.

Nostalgia. Things I remember from childhood like old atari or ps1 games.

Getting my tax return back! It's like bonus money even though I know better! XD

Meeting up with friends. I include my brother in this. Since I moved out of home I've had to watch my expense, so to be able to catch up with old buddies is an ever rare treat in some cases.

A positive return on a submission. Because who doesn't like to know their work is appreciated?

Wargaming and model making. I am a 40k player for near a decade now. A full complement of painted necrons or tyranid models is an impressive sight and an achievement to be proud of.

Drinking and Smoking. I hardly ever do either, but in the right company I do enjoy a cigar and/or a few drinks.

And that's me folks.
