The all purpose happy feelings thread

[cassiopeia191]

I went out with some friends last night and was already slightly drunk after having been at a birthday party before...so when I got there, I wasn't really in controll of things so much and just being stupid and talking nonsense. So my friend Dorle told me she wants to have a butterfly tattooed on her stomach and I tried to convince her to kick the cliché and get a cockroach instead. My other friend (who I am secretly in love with) heard about this suggestion and, being a little sloshed herself (yep, we really all are raging alcoholics), freaked out and said something like: "What the hell is wrong with you" and then started impersonating a cockroach to prove her point that I was crazy...

Anyway...I don't know...that was just the cutest thing I've seen anyone do in a while and this is why I am in such a happy mood: because she's there and because every expression she makes seems to me like the most beautiful thing ever. I'm smitten.



Anyway...have a fabulous day, kitties! I'll go call her now.

So in my constant taping of old eps whenever they're on (because I'm an OMWF convert, being the musical junkie that I am), I was excited today to see two different episodes. They were 4x21, Primeval, and 1x11, Out of Mind, Out of Sight.



I was filled with glee to see OMOS, because it meant that I got to see Willow in all of her adorable geekiness. . . She actually reminds me a lot of one of my friends. We (the friend and I, not Willow and I [damn]) used to sloth around a board for The Matrix, for an example of how geeky we were (which is funny because of the blurb under "Monstervision" on buffyguide regarding Primeval.



But anyhow, the true happiness came from the realization that Marcie was actually Clea DuVall, or Graham (I like girls, a lot.) from But I'm a Cheerleader. I'm sure this is common knowledge, but it was nice to see a beautiful six degrees of dykeyness incident from way back in season one (random tidbit for more six degrees, Natasha Lyonne [who was in BIAC with Clea, of course] was in the American Pie movies. This is news for me as I haven't seen them. Can you just imagine them on the set of BIAC discussing Aly? Or even more, Natasha and Aly discussing W/T at AP2 filming?).

Hello Everyone.

Well, I started my new job yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Everyone gets along and they went out of their way to make me feel welcome. I am actually looking foward to going to work now.

The strange thing is I go in 2 hours later then I was at my old job but I get home 2 hours earlier and make more money too.

Thats always a plus.

Its a very interesting job as I thought it would be. For the first time I don't mind getting up in the morning.

Have a good day all.



Love to All,

Barb

A long time ago I had a lady to love. She made me think of things I never thought of. Now she's gone and I'm on my own. A love song keeps coming to my mind. A love song that was there all the time. ~ LRB

Barb...



You know how happy I am for ya! That's one of the great things in life... when you finally find the perfect job. You like what you do, you like the company you're in, the people in that company are nice, you get paid better wages and no one exploits you.



Best of Luck for the future Barb!

I spilled yogurt on the table today and just sat there and laughed at it for a while.



It was just one of those things, and I thought I'd share my story.

My Grandma had back surgery yesterday. We were all really concerned because she's 83. Luckily, Everything went well. So, I am HAPPY!!!!



Gram's still got a lot of gusto in her and I am hoping that this doesn't hold her back for long.



Oh, and Marcy...I found the yogurt thing funny to read. I've had days like that too.

I've been feeling sorta down lately. I even posted in the crappy feelings thread earlier today. But then I was on my way to work and this cute girl randomly started walking with me and flirting with me. She said she didn't like to walk alone at night. I'm in a very happy relationship and am not interested in this girl, but it was still nice have someone randomly pay you a little bit of attention from time to time. It was even cooler that I got to tell my gf about it and see her get all jealous, even if she was just pretending. Sometimes it just feels really good to know that you are loved. I love it when she is protective of me and gets all large with the butch.



Plus my boss isn't here tonight. I don't have to do any real work and I get paid more because I am the supervisor when she is away!



All of a sudden I feel so much better. Tomorrow Spring Break starts too. I hope my good mood keeps up.

[dulcinea]

well, I'm happy. About 6 weeks ago, I was offered a temp job in a call center/customer services. Not my dream job. but hey, it was only for 3 months.

This week I was asked if I would like to split my time between customer service and IT support! yay! That's what I'd like to get back into, but it is almost impossible to get an interview without any formal qualifications. and they will give me training in anything I need. so yep. I'm happy. And, if it is okayed by the general manager, next week it might be made permanent ...which, along with the security of a permanent job, means I don't have to keep jobhunting..

i'm very happy because I just led a worship service for the student-led unitarian universalist group on campus. i was worried about it because i'm not actually on an ordination track (not gonna be a minister) and so i thought my worship might sort of be considered "filler" or something. and then after the war started i was worried that people would be wanting a peace service and the title of mine was "Food, Glorious Food!" But everyone loved it! Instead of having a sermon, I led a meditation on tasting different foods which everyone really enjoyed as well. So I'm very happy and content that it went so well.

I haven't been able to get the smile off my face the last few days. Tommorrow is me and my girls 15year anniversary. We are having a special dinner at one of our favourite restaraunts to celebrate. And I suppose 15 isn't much different than 14, but we are really in a good place right now in our lives. We finally bought a house, (and have two cats, naturally), and we decided to have a commitment ceremony sometime this year.

And to top it all off with icing, I have just sent an email to my sister telling her of our anniversary. I have only just recently been able to talk about my relationship with my partner to my family, so this email is a big step for us all.

And it makes me very happy.



And yes 15 years, my family are a little slow. Or just enjoyed denial land too much.

Reading "Sailor Moon" fanfic although never having seen a single episode, has put me in an unexplicably mood today.

I love reading posts about people who have been together a long time. It gives me warm fuzzies.



Well, since I griped about my job in the 'crappy feelings' thread, I felt obligated to post in the 'happy feelings' thread now that the problem has been resolved. My union reached a last minute agreement with management last night, so I have an office to go to today. I still need to find a new job, but at least now I can do it while I'm still employed somewhere else. hehe

[Rosenberg]

I’m happy because it’s the first day of April which means that the hell month of March is finally over and done with!

[sprhrgrl]

Although I'm rather middling at the moment, I'm thinking that a happy post is needed because EGADs the crappy post is catching up!



So!



Happy!



Although I got rejected by Barnard, NYU and Wesleyan Univ., I've been accepted to my second choice school. Evergreen is a good place and close to my family/friends, and my heart had picked it already anyway.



So.



Happy.

This is a totally shallow excuse for happiness, but both of my classes were unexpectedly cancelled today, so yay! I had work due for both classes today - plus, one of the assignments contributed a major portion to our grade - and hadn't finished the stuff for either class, and now I have two extra days to get it done. Somebody Up There likes me.

I have a ticket to the England match. At the moment this is making me happy, but I am sure I'll be posting in the crappy thread after the game if Saturday's performance was anything to go by.

In which case I hope your hangover has finally gone.



Well I must admit I am in a rather happy mood of late, ever since my life decided to shock me completely and take yet another unexpected turn. So yes, very happy indeed. Despite the paltry amount of sleep I now seem to be running on...still the random drunken IM messages certainly help entertain me through the late nights.

Well I am buzzing, that was just an amazing game of footy to watch live. I have just fallen through the door and thought I would share my general joyness with you all, well I have phoned nearly everyone in my phone book to tell them already.



I have been converted to a Wayne Rooney fan, god he had an excellent game. I am still suffering from the shock that an Aston Villa player knows what a goal is and how to score one.



Sonya, yes the hangover has finally gone, that may have something to do with the beer I have been drinking though

[BoredNow99]

Not sure why it should surprise you that lovely Darius scored, Zoe - it was after all his fourth goal in 11 appearances for England, six as a sub. In comparison, Mr Heskey has scored four in 32 games, only 11 of which he was a sub



Rooney was inspirational, but it's a shame for Vassell because not only did he score, but he had two other great efforts on goal that Recber did well to save. I think he would have got more of the plaudits if Roonaldo hadn't played.



Now all he needs to do is continue his form on Saturday against Arsenal

I think this post's mostly filler

[Zippy]

Em, Mr Vassell has been getting loads of praise in the local paper up here, more than the pie eater & you know how much I loath the fact Hesky is picked for the team when all he does is fall over.



Saturday's game, I think I'll remain quiet for now on that one.

So I was just about to post in the crappy feelings thread about how the family i've been babysitting for for 7 or 8 months doesn't need me anymore now that the girls are older (they have an almost 3-year old boy and twin 13-month old girls and needed me as a "mother's helper" around dinner time twice a week) and they're trying to save money. So now I'm only going to be sitting for them once or twice a month They're going to forget me. Or the girls will anyway. They're really comfortable with me now (so much so that when my girlfriend and I sat for them together, they kept holding their arms out to me and looking for me when I left the room like they do with their mom or dad when I'm there with one of the parents) and now they might forget me.



But, as I said, I was going to put that in the crappy feelings thread, but then I opened up my fortune cookie and the fortune said "a diversity of friends is a credit to your flexible nature". And I've always been really proud about how I have so many friends who are all so different. It made me smile when I saw it. So I'm not so sad anymore Plus, I had chinese food for dinner, that made me happy too.

La, they might "forget" you, but not your essence & your love for them. You've made an impact in their lives that will help them in the future. You've given them security & love from someone outside the immediate family & that's important to who they become as older children & adults.



It isn't always the big things that influence us the most... it's the many little things that do... and what we do for others...



Peace, my friend.
