The all purpose happy feelings thread

[Imperfectly Me]

I, Aimee Elizabeth Bell...am happy. No particular reason really, but I woke up this morning and had a smile on my face that has stayed there all day. This is a monumental occasion for me. Just wanted to share.

Who were you then? And who are you now? That you think you can figure it all out, the mathematics of regret. It takes two beers to remember now, and five more to forget.

I'm in a good mood. I've been flatting with my best friend for most of the past 7 years. We have our ups and downs, we take each other for granted, have co-dependency issues, and sometimes wonder why we even bother with each other.



This evening, I remembered. A quiet evening by the TV, nothing stronger than coke to drink, and we ended up having the best time! of course half the hilarity came from me pretending to scare the cat, and tripping over the coffee table and ending up on my arse on the floor... but who else would I rather be with when I make a fool of myself like that?



I'm happy that I have a great friend.

It snowed!!!! Alot!!!!



Heheh, that's one of the reasons why I'm in a good mood today!! The biggest reason is that I get to see my amazing gf tomorrow, for the first time in 3weeks!!!



How we've managed to survive this far I don't know; we'll have been together for a month and seen each other twice!! Ah well, absence makes the heart grow fonder...also leaves a lot of pent up...well, I think you get the general idea...*ahem*



Well, back to work I go, which is really slow today as no-one is mad enough to plow through the snow just to get some photocopying done!!



Snuggles to all,

Jo xxxxxxxxxxxxx

...there's a moment when I look at you, and all thought within me is lost; my tongue breaks and fire races over my skin, and I grow weak; for I am dying of such love, or so it seems to me...

arty It's the Chinese New Year today! 1st of February! Gong Hei Fatt Choy to all chinese kittens on the board!!



I'm happy today because I just got an RM100 angpow (red packet) from my parents. That's a big help in my life now because I'm resigning from a really bad company and need money to survive while hunting down more jobs.



The other thing that bring up my lousy day every night is that I discovered again. Every sms and message she leaves me makes my heart soar.



The final thing that makes me happy... is that I have great friends in some and all Kittens. They've been very supportive, helping me through my hellhole called life and let me vent some anger and frustration. I just wanna thank all ( you know who you are ) and everyone else!

I'm happy (for a change) cause I got my field ticket for The Rolling Stones within 20 minutes! I'm really, really & really happy 'bout this.....

You know, it's lovely to see so many kittens happy, and hey, in love too!



Happy New Year Shinnen, love. Good to know things are looking up for you.



And can I just say that despite the shitty weather we're having here today, I'm in a fabulous mood. Tra la la. Hee.

It's in your eyes, I can tell what you're thinking; my heart is sinking too...It's no surprise, I've been watching you lately; I want to make it with you...

[maudmac]

Four words: Margaret. Cho. Tenth. Row.



I can barely express verbally how happy this makes me.



Now, if I could just see The Lion King and Jeff Stryker....

Well, the last months have been crappy but this weekend, finally something really positive happened. It's no huge thing, but one of my best friends is in a psychiatric unit (and was in a closed psychiatry before for a week) and it was her 18th birthday on Friday. I hadn't seen her for two months but she called me on my birthday two weeks ago....her Mom told me that she would come home for her birthday but that she didn't want to see or talk to anyone. Well, I wasn't surprised but it was still hard and I was blaming myself for not having been able to help her and for being a horrible friend...blah.





So I dropped by at her house to drop off her birthday gifts...and she let me in!! First, I was nervous because I didn't want her to feel overwhelmed or stressed but when I walked into her room, she fell into my arms and we were standing there for a long time, just hugging. Then she unwrapped the gifts and loved them and when she saw that I had given her my old songbook with Leonard Cohen songs (one of my favorite things in the world) which I had inherited from my father and which she had admired before, she almost teared up and hugged me again. She told me about everything that had happened and told me to visit her...I know how hard it was for her to let me see her and well...this may be a weird kind of happy but seeing her has been the best thing that happened to me since the summer.

Lisa/Cassiopeia... that is really good news. I'm glad that she is healing well enough to have visitors & to ask you to visit her.. It is really good news... Hope there will be much more to come in the next few weeks.. and beyond..

The happy news is that January is finally over!



The crappy news is that it’s February.

[tommo]

February; the month I've been waiting for. It's short, so there's a lot I have to pack into it. That in itself is pretty exciting.

It's in your eyes, I can tell what you're thinking; my heart is sinking too...It's no surprise, I've been watching you lately; I want to make it with you...

I just got back from an incredible LGBT community-building retreat that took place this weekend, and my feeling of pride (and, yes, community) is almost overwhelming-- just to know that there are so many others like me (not just queer-identified, but having specific issues similar to mine) legitimizes my own experience... plus, we played games, talked, cried, and laughed, and I feel like I know people much better now... much happiness... -Nora

I've been waiting for February, too, Ruf. And now that it's here I have a couple of great things to look forward to in the immediate future, yay! But then I have to wait until the END of February, and the beginning of March for the rest of the things I'm waiting on. Grr.



*goes all Cave J-Ho* House smell nice. Want house NOW! Heh. We did our first walk through inspection of it yesterday, and although a few mostly minor things came up, it looks like there's nothing majorly wrong with the place. It was so nice just to get to be in there again, and to get to spend a few hours there. When escrow closes, Jer and I are going to go and have a picnic on our living room floor. Hee. Crossing fingers and toes now...

Spank me, I'm Julia.

[tommo]

Two things, julia? I wonder what two things they might be...

It's in your eyes, I can tell what you're thinking; my heart is sinking too...It's no surprise, I've been watching you lately; I want to make it with you...

[wiccanwiggle]

Well I am very, very, very happy this week! I can't wait until Saturday because i'm going to holiday to New York! And for someone from some remote place called Northern Ireland this is a HUGE deal!

Everyone's Gettin Spanked But Me...!

[SlayerSydney]

I finally have a working furnace!!!

So, after three months of living uncomfortably with a broken furnace, today it's finally fixed.

Brand Spanking New Furnace.

And the idiot guy who fell when they came to install it last Wednesday, is ok. It was totally his fault that he fell. I feel bad for him and the huge bruise on his forehead, but happy that he won't be suing me as I was convinced he would.



How sad my life has become that I am excited about such a thing.



But, I HAVE HEAT!! That's a cause for celebration. Hmmm...why am I here and not preparing my own heated welcome home "party" for my gf?

Why, yes, Bint. Two things. A dear friend of mine has recently scaled, for the first time, two rather infamous peaks.

I see what you mean Julia. Well, I heard her trip to the summit went rather well.

Hello Everyone.

I had to go to the Division of Motor Vehicles today and I was not looking foward to it at all. It's usually an all day affair here when one has to go to DMV. It seems that my license and truck registration was on the suspended list so I haven't driven all week since I found out.

I went expecting to pay $200 plus to have my license and registration reinstated. But they said that it was some sort of mix up and that didn't cost me a cent. So while there, I figured my truck's registration is due to expire at the end of the month so I figured "what the hell, I'm here, I may as well hang out a little longer and renew it" since I had the extra cash on me. Well I walked out of there within 1 hour. Its a miracle. I've never been there for more then 3-4 hours. Plus, I saved a whole heep of cash too. Even with the snow, its been a great day after all.

I finally had myself a good day after way too many bad ones. Yay for me!!!



I hope everyone else has a great day!



Love to All,

Hello, long time no post



So my girl and I are entering the home stretch until our wedding which is 3/3/03. All the big stuff is now paid for so I'm actually enjoying myself now after being a complete nutcase. In addition my mother seems to be coming out of her six year hope that I was just in a really looonngg phase and is not only coming to the wedding, actually seems excited about it and is cooking the food. So needless to say I am very excited about the big day, especially the cake. LIFE IS SOOO VERY GOOD!! Everyone have a great weekend.

I refuse to believe that this is all. ~~Xiren Everything

[Muttley]

I am way beyond happy - in less than 24 hours I'll have flown to Washington DC to be with my sunshine for our first meeting



We met on the Singles Thread and I can honestly say life has not been the same since - who knew it could be this good?

I'm super happy because I just had the most beautiful afternoon with my (rather new) girlfriend and I think I'm falling in love.

Today was a wonderful day. Today was the day I met a certain girl I met through this board. We met in Baltimore for the afternoon and hung out together. It was a rather lovely afternoon if I may say so myself. Although I'm not sure what she thought about it...except she did say we should meet again but that could've been just being polite. We went to Top of the World a tourist trap she called it. We could see everything for miles. We went to lunch at J Paul's and she paid I thought it was so sweet of her (no pun intended) but at the end of our little meeting she gave me a tin of chocolates because I'd told her I didn't have a Valentine for friday and I was "on the prowl" for one. I hugged her a whole bunch and didn't want to leave. I really hope things continue to get better because she makes me happy. Well, I guess I will leave it up to the fates. Oh happy day... *sigh* one day I will never forget.

Just a fantastic day. Who knew Mondays could be like this?

After a weekend of private healthcare hospitality I'm now resting up at home. (For those who unfortunately read my rather depressing crappy feelings post I got my appointment changed.) Which means I've basically spent far too long chatting, watched far too much cricket and done a rather good impression of the mad sweedish chef from the muppets. And its only five thirty. Plenty of time for this day to suck but I don't care. Nope, not a jot.



Oh, and I got tickets to see Turin Brakes in March. Just a sweet, sweet day.



If I could move a little freer I would dance. Ok. No, I wouldn't. Right, I'm off to advocate the fact I clearly need bed rest.

[willowtarafan18]

Hey everyone it's me again Guess yesterday really did turn out to be a good day and in the end so did today. The girl I saw yesterday really does like me and we've arranged to meet Saturday for a little late Valentine's celebrating. This time it'll be a few more hours together. I'm all smitten We were both teased about not having kissed each other but maybe soon... then I'll be doing flips I think.

Ok, so my day started off pretty crappy cause I broke a tooth and it couldn't be saved so after spending two hours at the dentist and 300 bucks later, I am in quite a bit of pain.

But I'll get the new bridge tomorrow so I'm pretty happy that I don't have to walk around missing a tooth for too long.

As I was about to sit and relax with a bag of ice on my face, my phone rang. I finally got an interview for a job at an animal hospital lab that I've been trying to get into for the last 3 years. I really, really want this job. And before anyone asks or worries, its not a lab that does testing on animals. I am a veterinary technician and its where all the blood work and biopsy's go for readings and such from various animal hospitals.

I hope all the kittens will keep their fingers crossed for me. I could use all the luck I can muster up.



Love to All,

Wow, Barb, that sounds like a cool job. Good luck with your tooth and the interview.



I'm happy today because the nonprofit I volunteer for just offered to buy me a new laptop and they gave me a $1700 limit. I just finished ordering it from Dell, and it's amazing what they can squeeze into a laptop these days. This baby will rock! It's like a techie's dream come true.

Well, I'm happy because there's tons of snow here in Maryland! It's been annoying the heck out of all the grownups, but since I'm a teenager I'm enjoying every friggin minute of it! It's amazing- this has really been my ideal winter.



Plus, today I got, like, 5 bazillion good reviews for my story (most from the same person, but it's more fun to think they were from a lot of different readers). So I am really happy right now!



Even though the snow is keeping me from seeing Daredevil tomorrow...oh well! Happiness!

[Penrose Orleans]

I'm happy because I just got back from the Midwest GLBT and Ally College Conference, and it was wondrously wonderful... I bonded with people I know, met some people I didn't know, learned a LOT, brought back knowledge to help our campus GLBT resources, and overall had amazing fun! Though there were a couple of blips on the goodness-radar screen (*weather* cough cough), the overall feeling I have right now is-- total contentment. -Nora
