Little things that cheer you up.

Waking up to find my little cat that I rescued sitting on my chest looking down at me. She has started to do that and growl at anyone who comes near my room. Even though she is only half the size of many household cats. Bless her.

John Lennon was a crazy cat lady

[YKWYA]

Awesome!

I have 5 cats. The others are also rescues. My other Cat Finnegan I rescued from a local Farm. I was there one day and they were being 'fed' their scraps. While the other 8 or so cats fought over the scraps, he just sat on the wall and watched, even though he was obviously hungry. I asked if I could take him.

So yeah, It always cheers me up to walk into a room with a cat that's pleased to see you.

Yay cats! My sister has three and it's been making my stay here great, they all love to cuddle with me. I was at a friends house once who's room mate has a cat, my friend warned me "he hates everyone!" and I quickly managed to seduce the cat and he was on my lap the whole time. My friend said to me "Uh oh, look what you've done, he owns you." but I laughed and said "no, this is exactly what I wanted, this cat is clearly under MY control! Didn't you say he hates people?" I'd love to have a cat after I graduate and am settled somewhere, but I'll be taking my dog with me instead who's been staying with my dad.

Finally got the e-mail confirming I am set to graduate a semester early from college. Stoked, but at the same time scared to hit the real world sooner.

[Halo Infinity]

Awesome! It's never too early to graduate, but I can understand some of your qualms there. I'd wish you more luck in that case if possible then.

As for me, as cliche and as typical as this can get. Not taking things for granted. Sure, life has some dark sides to it, and life can be boring, stressful and even frightening sometimes, but I'm just thankful for the things, moments and opportunities that allow me to live in happiness, relaxation, comfort, luxury, laughter, good health and pleasure in general.

I'm also very late on this, but it also cheered me up to know that videos from YouTube can be embedded on ETS. It's a convenience that I've always appreciated on other sites, and I'm certainly glad that ETS actually has this feature on itself right now.

I have had a SHIT past 5 weeks and things are slowly starting to get better.

Pretty much this. Woke up the last two days not in a shitty mood of some sort.

Going to Punta Cana in April w/ DH, it's going to be fantastic! Got three months to get in shape.

I hear it's awesome there. Color me jealous.

I've decided to write a 50's pulp detective novel.

I went into a second hand store yesterday and grabbed Space Invaders for Atari for $2. Throw that into the collection.

[Pillfred]

Waiting for my buddy at the hospital and this old guys starts cracking about "these damn kids these days with their low hanging pants and colored hair." He doesn't beat the old guy i saw when i was a kid who referred to Bemidji, as "the boil on the asshole of the earth." I can't wait till i finally grow into my frail hemoroidal self and am able to finally be a true asshole.

Cathartically discussing the fact that I hate the sensation of french kissing/saliva with a group of similarly phobic women. Granted, we're a fairly specialised group, but it's good to know that I'm not the only one whose skin crawls at the thought of this apparently normal act.

Finally finished the first half of my philosophy of science mini-course for my 6th years! And I'm still only at 'What is truth'?!

I took a "truth and value" course last semester, it was fantastic! I love philosophy.

Yeaaah, gonna have to agree with you here. Just not a fan of tongue stuff when it comes to sex in general—lips are much more sensual to me.

I hope my kids like it as much

I'm finally getting back on track. The meds are kicking in quite spectacularly: I went for a drink earlier this evening with the co-worker I'm still stupidly in love with (I've accepted it's not going anywhere for a while yet, so I'm just enjoying our friendship) and I didn't freak out about having to go to a strange bathroom. w00t. Also haven't actively thought about killing myself for about a week now, which is double w00t. I do still feel like a faillure and a loser, but at least I'm still around.

[sublimaze]

I handed chicken nuggets to the little one, and he *clearly* said "mama." Didn't actually look at me while he said it, but maaaaybe he was actually referring to me!!!!

This sounds awesome! Let us know when it's finished, i'd like to read it!

Blue cheese.

Being out to people as a whole—because the thought of coming out to people one-on-one is so terrifying—only for a friend you'd never spoken to about it to chime in and be awesome and supportive.

The last day or two has just been long and crappy and filled with stress. But I'm almost done with all the stuff I've had to do and tonight I am looking forward to a decent dinner and laying down and watching some TV in bed to unwind before going to sleep. I have no idea why I look forward to that so much, but something about just laying down and watching some stupid crap on TV, specifically late at night, is really relaxing. Maybe it's just knowing the day is over and I can just kick back and not have to worry about anything else.

Edit: I think this post means I'm officially old.

If that's what makes people old, then i've been old since about the age of 17.

[theruiner]

^^Ooh! A love connection. Say, would you like to go to the Bingo hall on Friday night for a quick round? Then it's off to catch the early bird dinner at Denny's and I promise I'll have you home in time for Wheel of Fortune.

[sentient02970]

My winter would be a very bleak and empty season without a slow-cooker. Sunday night watching football with BBQ pulled pork and a couple beers was just, I dunno...AMAZING!

[Blackbookpress1984]

i always like going in to work at my sencond job and not having to clean up after the people who are supposed to be my superiors. Doesnt happen often, but when it does. it's awesome.

I also love good breakfast food and going out for breakfast on sunday mornings. If anyone's in Chicago, Try over easy on Damen.

Sometimes some good old peanut butter and jelly sandwiches hit the spot.
