The all purpose happy feelings thread

[willowtarafan18]

Happy news? It's the holidays lots of happy news is floating about which is always a good thing. Let's see, so many good things have happened to me as of late... yesterday I talked to a certain kitten who has been iming me and got a glimpse of her true personality through her voice. We talked for a long time on the phone yay! I'm trying to be smooth here am I succeeding 'cuz I think I'm really floating on cloud nine... Good news on her part is she's got a great internship for next semester which is good news for her. It's a big accomplishment for me to have talked to her on the phone because I was rather shy and nervous about it. I was glad she called though Oh and Santa treated me extra good so I'm going to the convention in June yippy!!! I'm excited to meet some kittens I'm hoping to be less shy by then so I can actually speak to some of you and not stand silently shy in a corner. Happy Holidays everyone!

CONGRATULATIONS TO BOB, JULIA AND EVERYONE ELSE!



I am in such a good mood today!

Yesterday my manager came to me and said they were going to have to make some personnel changes

I was thinking, this is not good.

But then he tells me he really wants me to be a department head!

No more listening to my smug boss,I am now his equal

HAPPY DAY KITTIES!

YOU ALL ROCK

CONGRATULATIONS TO BOB, HUSHPUPPY AND JULIA!!! And everyone else who is exceedingly happy!!!



I'm in a good mood because my best friend Tan (love interest, blah, blah blah... ) told me that she's coming to see me for my birthday!!! and she'll be staying with me both nights!!! (my b'day is on the 7th Jan, but having a big ol'party on the 5th)



We've been texting each other, and we both cannot wait til next weekend!! Going to be great!!!!!



So I'm in a rather good mood!!!!



Snuggles,

Pillows xxxx

...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...

[Bookcat]

wow... everyone has so many good things going on in their lives! congradulations everyone!



I'm happy. You don't need a reason, like a very special announcement, to post here and be happy, right?



I'm probably happy because its four in the morning and I've done all my homework and I spent yesterday with my friends and today I wrote something I'm actually proud of.

And my best friend gave me a really sweet holiday gift; she gave me a book called "queer thirteen", which is well-known gay and lesbian writers writing memoirs about junior high, which was so recently (I'm just a sophmore). And its really sweet of her, because she had to go into the store and buy it, which may have been a tad awkward.



Anyway, congrats everyone else.

Hello? Is there anybody out there?

No, just macaroni.

[Dumbsaint]

Another cause for much happiness for me this week. I've been in a major writing slump for the past few months, and I spent several hours this weekend working on an original short piece. Of smutty goodness.



Oh, smut. How I have missed you. Hee.

Spank me, I'm Julia.

[tommo]

Oh Jho, I know exactly what you mean. I've rather enjoyed "getting back into the saddle" this weekend. And on another note, it's just good to be writing anything again.



I guess I have good inspiration. Hee.

What is nice is this thread is twice as long as the crappy feelings one!



First congrats are in order!



Julia!!! That is great! Any engagment pictures? Is there a date set?



Bob! Good job! I mentioned that earlier, but it deserves to mentioned again. What can you tell us about the book?



Hushpuppy! That is great as well. Ultrasounds are fun. Though the doctor could not find the heartbeat with our first son he said, "oh he must be asleep." But I love looking at them and seeing how they look after they are born. Any names yet?



(god I am a nosy little bastard.)



I am in a fairly good mood. I have about 10,000 emails to catch up on, plan on making a sun dried tomato pasta dish for my wife tonight. Then heading out to my in laws for New Years eve. So my father-in-law will probably get me shit-faced drunk as usual.



Speaking of which. Brian, I got my case of Molson XXX for Christmas! Plan to open a couple and toast the death of FireFly!



I hope everyone finds something to be happy about this holiday season. Right now I am listening to some old "Beastie Boys" on the stereo cause my wife is at work and my son is at school. It's the little things.



ETA: Scratch that, I just got my Christmas credit card bill. All three pages. Yikes!

Congrats Julia, Bob and Hushpuppy. A happy Kitten is a wonderful thing.



I feel happy that our resident smut queens are writing again. Be still me heart (and other bits).

[MaClayMagic]

What a cheery thread! I'm going to add to it! I'm all with the happy dance because in 6 hours I get to start the 3 hour drive to Manchester airport to go pick up my sweetheart after us having two months apart while she did the family thing in Kansas.

I hate the driving, I hate the fact that my teeny tiny Fiesta doesn't stand out as much as those huge rigs that drive alongside us and shake my teeth! I hate the M6, but I get my girl back! Colour me happy! 4am in the cold West Midlands, lovely!!! But worth every shiver! Cue the song "My girlfriends back.......!"

I'm happy because my friend who I'm madly in love with and haven't seen for two weeks (and won't see for another two weeks) e-mailed me three times and hasn't written my cousin I feared she had a crush on. Or her roommate who I'm extremely jealous of cuz ... hey, not fair she gets to see her every day and I don't. So obviously she misses me more than anyone else, and that makes me the happiest boy in the world. So that's my silly bit of fluffy feelings for the day.

[jixer]

Hello Kittens-



Adding to the fluffy feelings here. My wife and I went to the beach yesterday in between rain squalls, had a wonderful drive to and from, listened to music, and watched Monty Python DVDs at our friends until midnight.



Now I'm sitting with a mug of tea and browsing the Kitten.



If I could purr, I would. Happy New Year Kittens!

Two of my friends just got engaged (not to each other, to different people, so, yay!, two weddings to go to) and one asked me to be her maid of honor!

I got a job offer today



After being unemployed for over a year, this is beyond good. They want me to start on Monday the 6th

They originally called me on Christmas Eve to schedule the interviews, so it's a bit of a Christmas present Now I don't have to sell my children (not to discourage anyone from making an offer if so inclined).



When I lost my last job I bought a bottle of Belgian ale and set it aside to celebrate when rehired. I've been looking at that damn bottle every time I open the fridge for so long! Now I can drink it



Is this really happening?

[Dumbsaint]

Congrats about the job, Flerelmsaho. That's such great news. Good luck with that!



I really think 2003 is going to be a good year. Seems like for everyone I talk to, 2002 was productive, but extremely painful. Out with the old, in with the new. Very good feeling about this year. I feel much happiness coming up.

Spank me, I'm Julia.

[Kendahl897]

Yes, out with the old and in with the new....I start classes Tuesday, so I'm excited. I'm going back to get an education degree to teach history. It'll take about a year, but time flies..2002 was awful for several reasons, here's hoping 2003 is alot better. At the very least, I won't be working 60 hours a week..

[thrilledbymaclay]

First of all, congratulations Julia and everyone else who deserves congratulatory wishes .



I had such a wonderful New Year's Eve, I want to share it with everyone. I've always had major self-esteem and body-image issues, but as of last fall I've been fairly focused on working through them. I always felt so unattractive when I went out with my friends, as I rarely got any attention from anyone. Anyways, on New Year's Eve, I just felt so special. People actually noticed I was in the room. I couldn't believe it . Drinks were bought for me, my phone number was asked for. The best part? I got to make out with one of my friends at the end of the night. She just makes you feel so beautiful. It wasn't a serious thing, but we really bonded. Yay.

[Scout]

Much congrats to Julia and Bob and people having babies and people making out with their friends and people getting new jobs. Did I leave anyone out?



I'm happy to be back on the board after a couple weeks of Xmas-family-computer mayhem. And yes, I know no one really noticed I was gone, but I'm still happy to be back. Although now I'm overwhelmed with thread catching-up chores.



My good news is I got a new Toyota Corolla for Xmas! I desperately needed a new car and she's a beaut. I'm most pumped about the sunroof and great stereo. I commute a long way to work every day in heavy traffic, so this will definitely make the trips more enjoyable and less stressful.



Hope everyone has a safe and happy year!

[urnofosiris]

Oh I noticed you were gone and I am happy to see you are back and heh, that means I can post in this thread now.

I am in no way trying to charm you into doing a new a day in the life of miss kitty cartoon of course. I am genuinely glad to see you post. No ulterior motives whatsoever, but should you do a new one it would make me extra happy and then I can post here again and up my post count some more which would make me happier still and then I just never will stop posting so maybe you better not make that drawing after all.

[Twisted Minstrel]

Hey...just wanted to add another note of happiness...it's happifying to hear of so much happiness. Although I'm neither engaged, making out with any of my friends or standing on my head naked, I'm still very happy. No reason. Well, there might be a reason. It might even be a girl. Or it might be because I moved my piano and now I can see out the window when I play and the sun (when it shines) will keep my face warm whle I'm sitting there for endless hours; might be the music playing in my head. I think it's a Beach Boys tune. Can't be crappy listening to that. Wouldn't it be nice?



Then again, might be an aneurysm - but I'm sure it's a happy one!



Cheers all! Here's to silly, quirky, so-crazy-you-have-to-frolick-in-public-happy!

[relativegirl]

Well, I'm a happy girl indeed. I'm in the midst of the best Sunday I can remember ever having, chatting away the hours with m'girl. And, well, I made her happy . . . very happy . . . THREE TIMES!



*struts around proudly*



I can't believe I actually said that out loud. Bad me. I so need to be punished.

I like lickin', I do.

[Penrose Orleans]

Hmm... punished, eh? There does seem to be time left in the day...



Happy news for me is that my stupid Spanish Lit. assignment is done... not exactly the cure for cancer, but still causing of happiness!

[Scout]

You're such a sweetie, Garfield. I'd send you a smooch on the cheek but I'm afraid I'd electrocute myself via the phone socket.



I posted a Xmas Miss Kitty cartoon. Did you see that? It was a little quiet on the board when I put it up, so you might have missed it. I have the next two written, but I try to spread them out because I'm afraid I'll run out of ideas and then the series will end. The next should be up in a couple weeks.



And I'll post them as long as I can, just so you can increase your post count. That's all the motivation I need.

[Dumbsaint]

*takes Enid over my knee*







Three times, huh? Hee. I'm gonna have to send someone some sterile wipeys for that phone.



I had a really good day today, too.

Spank me, I'm Julia.

[areslei]

Oh, such a spiffy thread! First off, I'd like to say congratulations to everyone.

I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. I finally got my raise at work, the holiday retail season is over so next week I'll be able to catch up on my fanfic reading that has been neglected for the past month ( I know, I'm terrible), and "kittens do vegas" is next month. Most important of all, I finally got to see my sweetie right before xmas. I'm so head over heels in love. I'm counting down the days to when I get to see her again.

It's so wonderful to read all of these happy posts. It puts me in even more of a good mood.

[urnofosiris]

Bless you Scout and you are right, I had missed it.

Your cartoon combined with the possible good news I may get soon have given me enough reason to post here again.

This is a lovely thread. Truly a place for feeling muditasri (which is a Buddhist term for 'sympathetic joy', a quality much valued and seen as a practice in itself) and sharing happiness.



First of all congratulations everyone and thanks for posting, just reading the thread gave me a happy.

I'm posting today because I'm so happy I can visit the kitten boards again. Yay, I have a working computer again ! It got fried in an electrical surge after a powercut during a thunderstorm so if there are any kittens as clueless as me, get yourself an antisurge thingy to plug your computer into!!



I'm also feeling happy because my brother fixed it for me and I feel so lucky to have such a caring and generous brother ( when he brought it back he'd also put extra memory in, doubled what I had before). And I'm happy because I had some good times with my family over the holidays, a time I once dreaded. Despite past tensions my sister and I are now very close and after years of fearing and hating my father I now have a better relationship with him than I would ever have imagined possible. Plus my Auntie Min is the best ever! So I'm feeling very fortunate in my family right now.
