Have you ever noticed how difficult it can be to keep an eye on the things that make you happy?
I mean . . . look at me. I devoted twelve hours of my day yesterday to being pissed off over what boiled down to relative trivia. I'm trying hard to face today in a better frame of mind -- or at least, a slightly less murderous one.
So I thought I'd start a little list of things I'm glad to have.
1. Friends who drag themselves to ice cream parlors and bookstores with me to cheer me up, when they would much rather go home and refrigerate.
2. Refrigeration, actually. Also known as central AC.
3. Dogs. They're always happy to see you, and sleeping with an affectionate, fifty-pound German Shepherd draped over your legs is a great way to feel loved. Remember . . . your dog loves you when nobody else does.
4. Cheery music. Specifically, Five's "Keep On Movin'" and Len's "Steal My Sunshine". Also LFO's "Every Other Time", but I'm really not sure why I think that's a cheerful song. Well, it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.
5. Leopard-printed blouses with ruffles that fall down my back like chiffon wings. I'm telling you, it's the little things in life that really get me going. < g >
6. Catharsis. I know I wasn't the only one who cried during the last two minutes of "Hug". C'mon . . . aren't they the cutest couple in like, *ever*? Plus, I felt much better after I shed a few tears.
7. Sweet dreams. Not only is my imagination some of the best company around, but it also gave me some great ideas for fic. Definitely cool!
8. Peanut butter and jelly. Can't be beat. Chicken salad is also a good thing. Food that satisfies your inner demons is important in life. Liverwurst -- with mayo and lettuce, not onions and mustard -- hits the spot. Caffeine and chocolate round out the list.
9. The Internet. Where else can you design quizzes to test your friends on how well they know you; read slash until your panties are wet; look up directions to a restuarant, and play Solitaire until your eyeballs fall out?
10. Student workers who show up when they're supposed to and do their job without giving me any crap. I heart some of these guys.
. . . list to be continued as I think of things.
