  • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

    Should we keep both of these threads on the go? Just in case something happens to one of them?

    my little baby son.

  • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

    Subway outlets make me really happy too.
  • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

          It could be a pet rock.
          • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

            Best pet ever. Although taking your rock for a walk might look a bit stupid.

        • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

          It really annoys me when you do a search for 'the rock' on google and it comes back with the bleeding film.

        The smell of woodsmoke.

        The first time you play one of those songs you get completely addicted to and the ohmygodthisissoGOOD feeling in yr stomach it gives you.

        Really good shoes.

        People who fall in love with beautiful things.

        Dancing like a crazy thing to something insanely happy and brilliant.

        Any kind of weather - muggy warm days where you get a kind of hazy mist, Thunderstorms, huge thick fat snowflakes, frosty autumn days where you can see your breath, overcast days when everything is grey.

        Being overdressed.

        Pens that glide really nicely when you write with them and really sharp pencils.

        The way soup, curry and stewing raspberries (not at the same time) make the entire house smell of yum.

        walking by the river when it's all hazy and hummy because of the heat, dipping your toes in the water and hearing aeroplanes humming overhead.

        going on bat walks and finding a place to just sit in the dark and listen

        This thread better get more responses than the other one! c'mon people, feel the love :D

          Being overdressed is indeed fucking ace.

          I'm also happinated by:

          Wasting entire dsays record shopping

          Listening to music with other people

          French things in general

          Beer fresh from the ice box on a hot day after hours of not drinking anything

          Collective laughter with total strangers/shared smiles with total strangers

          LIGHTNING BOLT \m/

          Curry

          Anything I didn't have to pay for

          Eating dinner outside

          Talking until sunrise

          Going for walks at 9am in Autumn/in fresh snow

          At the moment I'm happinated by the fact that i'm listening to Autechre REALLY FUCKING LOUD.
          • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

            Executing a nice fart without making any noise. Particularly difficult to cancel out the noise after a naan bread I find.

            I guess it's a male thing. Right guys?
            • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

              chocolate, weed, drums, la musique roque, football, rugby

              oh and a great fart feels great, but an ex of mine can fart better than anyone I've ever heard, it's like she explodes!

          and the skin on southern fried chicken
  • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

    being around generally nice and interesting people, who can make you laugh.

    reading a book, wrapped up in blankets with a hot water bottle while it is blowing gales outside, with a mug of milo and a cat sleeping at your feet.

    new episodes of naruto!

    swimming in the rain or at night.

    skipping down the street, arm in arm with other foolish people you have managed to convince that it is fun, and not caring about the stares...good stuff that.

          when you introduce friends of yours to other friends of yours...who dont know each other on a night out..........and you look over and they are getting on really well. that makes me really happy

          also.....corona with lime, italian food, watching good movies, listening to good albums....trying on new clothes to see they fit you perfectly, days where its freezing cold but the sun is out, going for family meals/get togethers, seeing friends you havent seen for ages, natalie imbruglia, Liverpool football club, thinking about my past holidays!

        Dogs with their heads out of car windows

        It sounds trivial, but whenever this happens I am physically unable to be angry/upset anymore. It is the single most brilliant gift to humanity

        Also:

        - Waking up after a drunken night, to empty your pockets of change and finding there is still a note in there
        - Being given a piggy back ride
        - Talking about stupid/reckless things you did as kids with your mates
        - Seeing a support band that had previously not heard of and REALLY enjoying it
        - Bank holidays
        - The awkwardness of a first kiss

        - And seeing people fall over, of course

    "Dogs with their heads out of car windows
    It sounds trivial, but whenever this happens I am physically unable to be angry/upset anymore. It is the single most brilliant gift to humanity"

    Totally agree with that one. With me, they don't even need to have their head out of the window. If I just see a dog ambling along, I immediately smile.

    And:
    *having a good time when I didn't expect to
    *silly fond memories that are only meaningful to the people you share them with (like piggy back races in the early hours, where you end up smacking your face on concrete, but you're still laughing)
    *meeting new people who I really get on with
    *walking in the sunshine listening to amazing music on my minidisc
    *the countryside. When I was a kid, I'd just sit on a fence and think. It was great.

        • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

          Because that generally seems to be my response when somebody laughs at an Arsenal loss

          Boro are a disgrace anyway. They never fill their stadium and Steve McClaren is one of the most overrated managers in the Prem

          Who said "sour grapes"?
          • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

            Don't make me bring up the catchment area of Middlesbrough again please. I think we're mid-table in terms of attendance. I agree with the McClaren thing though. A decent coach, yes. A good manager, not really.

            But damn it was a good win! Rochemback looks like a fantastic buy.

    • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

      Ill reluctantly admit it was a quality result for you. But for me, it just completed the most miserable week of football for a long time

      We're so shit this season. They're all scared to shoot. And I know that sounds like something somebody not quite up on their footy would say, but it's horribly true.

      And Maccarone scoring against us?! Can it get much more degrading? Xavier has to be your best signing this season, based purely on hair alone
      • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

        Maccarone, and trust me on this, is actually a decent player. He just suffers with his confidence, i'm almost certain that one day he will prove himself to us boro fans. I like him. He's certainly better than Joe Job.
        • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

          I always thought Nemeth was alright. What happened to him? Haven't Boro got something stupid like 8 strikers?

          Maybe one day, Stevie Mac will opt to go for a 1-1-8 formation.

          Schwarzer

          Southgate

          Boetang

          Nemeth Maccarone Job Viduka Yakubu Hasselbaink Christie Graham

          If only you had Kevin Keegan in charge...
          • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

            Arsenal now 9 points behind Chelsea.... thinking of football I'm going to post the latest Fantasy League standings in a brand new thread.
          • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

            Nemeth is a very good player, McClaren don't seem to like him though.

            That formation would be awesome BUT: Job's out on loan, Christie will NEVER be fit and Danny Graham probably won't get a chance for a while.
  • Re: Things that make you REALLY REALLY happy

    These things give me an enormous amount of happiness.

    taking the plastic wrapping off cds you've ordered from far-away places (indie scenster points for japanese imports)

    autumn days that aren't too cold.

    new shoes. I rarely buy shoes.

    waking up and hearing rain fall on the roof, and then being able to just lie in bed and do nothing for a few hours.

    playing gigs. euphoria/drunkenness.

    stupid pictures.

    shiny guitars and noise and booms and bangs

    finishing a book and then being able to tell people that you read every single word of some pretentious philosophical work dealing with love, life and death. Prefably whilst drinking a latte.

    taking life that little bit less seriously.

    the smashing pumpkins.

    etc etc etc.

      New purchases, clothes, cd's, gadgets, food, anything. I LOVE consumerism.
      Playing football, watching football, playing ISS pro evo, anything to do with football really...oh, and the classic footballers namegame....
      a good chinese/indian/thai/italian/burger takeaway or meal out
      the moments when I feel really close to my ladyfriend, and we dont argue at all, which isnt often, but when it does, its worth the arguments...
      new music that blows you away, or old music you rediscover
      a tidy flat that looks cool, so when you come home from work its a really nice environment to relax in....
      seeing my family and remembering how lucky I am to have parents and sister I really get on with and care for loads.
