I've been sitting here noticing stupid little things

[reyd reid reed]

that irritate me and I just decided that...no. Better to think of things that make me happy.

So...chocolate and knitting blankets that cover my lap and keep me warm while I'm working on them and talking to people I enjoy and laughing and tormenting (in a good-natured way, of course) those who are just crying out for tormenting...

what makes you happy?

C'mon...tell me.

Otherwise, I'll have to....think of something suitably evil. And I can. Trust me.

Muahahahahahahahahaha...

:evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

1. Seeing You Be Evil

is sort of comforting?

Let's see

what makes me happy

a little boy sitting on my lap, hugging me, giving me a kiss, playing with me, hell doing whatever he is doing with me makes me happy.

lots of other things

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

2. Like what?

And Evil Me is SUPPOSED to be threatening, not comforting. Sheeeeesh.

I'm gonna have to try harder, I guess.

:hi:

:P

[SPKrazy]

3. I named a bunch

now you want more...

geeez

listening to music

talking to friends

work

reading

playing

eating good food

eating dark chocolate

exercise

meditating

intimate conversation

being on the beach

watching a good movie

enough yet?

:evilgrin:

you're evil is not scary to me though...

:shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

4. Not even

the teeeeeniest bit intimidating?

And you ain't *seen* Evil yet.

:evilgrin:

And yes...that's better. You've escaped the impending wrath.

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

13. Not intimidating at all

and I ain't skeered :evilgrin:

:rofl:

[reyd reid reed]

19. You should be....

just ask...well...hmmmm...no, you can't ask him. So maybe if you ask, oh, wait...nope, that won't work either. There's always -- no he isn't supposed to be released for a while...

Well, just take my word for it.

:evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

35. Mebbe I Like Evil

women...

must be it :rofl:

:evilgrin:

:loveya:

[reyd reid reed]

40. I s'pose that's possible...

stranger things *have* happened...

:P

[SPKrazy]

47. It Appears To Be True

:shrug:

;)

[jobycom]

5. Bogie and Bacall.

Just watched The Big Sleep again. Damn they were amazing together.

[reyd reid reed]

7. They were.

Great movie.

And where've you been lately? Haven't seen you around much...

Stop hiding.

Now.

:hi:

[jobycom]

12. Well

I've been around, just not constantly. I'm going through a stir-crazy stage, hitting the road every chance I get. Wanted to go to New Orleans this weekend, but couldn't work it out. :(

[reyd reid reed]

17. I used to get like that every once in a while.

That was probably 25 years ago, though.

#2 son was supposed to be down that way this weekend, as a matter of fact. He was supposed to be in Baton Rouge either last weekend or this weekend, but in the end he didn't go.

He's disappointed. I, on the other hand, being the nervous-nellie kind of mom that I can be at times, am more than a little relieved.

:dilemma:

[jobycom]

18. So now I'm childish, huh?

:rofl:

I kind of missed 25 years of development somewhere along the way.

[reyd reid reed]

22. Heh...nah.

You're a free spirit and you're spontaneous and impetuous...qualities that I wish I still had.

I'm jealous.

[Redstone]

6. You.

Redstone

[reyd reid reed]

9. Awwwwww...

I'm gonna get all tingly in a minute if you keep that up.

:hug::hug::hug:


You feeling any better tonight?

[Redstone]

11. Hey, tingly will keep you warm, and then you could ditch the blanket.

Redstone

PS: I'm OK.

Redstone

[reyd reid reed]

15. This time of year...

there's no such thing as too warm.

Or too tingly.






I'm glad. I'm a worrier, y'know.

[Redstone]

20. I posted about it, so you can read the whole gory story. But I'm one person you do NOT

need to worry about. I've broken more bones than most people have broken wind, damn near died three times; I'm 53, but I've been awake longer than anyone else under 75, and hell, I don't even have any grey hair. And no, I don't dye it.

So I'll be OK.

But I know mean about the blanket on the lap; somehow that just feels warmer than turning up the heat does. Hey, get someone to share that blaket with you on the couch! THAT's the way to stay warm.

8. The movie "Amelie"

Has segments where the narrator discusses the character's quirky likes and dislikes. It is a nice film, if you haven't seen it.

The movie makes me happy, as well...lol.

But, I would say puffy clouds, colorful sunsets, orange moons, certain songs you hear just at the right time, and the last 10 minutes of sleep make me happy.

[reyd reid reed]

10. I love the way it feels when I'm just drifting into sleep...

and I LOVE those great big orange moons that look like they're so close you could just reach out and pull it from the sky...

[jobycom]

14. I love that movie.

One of my top ten. Can you have more than ten in your top ten?

[nytemare]

50. I think I have about 15 in my top 10.

But, I am thinking Amelie is one of my top 2.

:hi:

[Seabiscuit]

37. FINALLY bought the DVD today! Love that movie.

[nytemare]

49. Well, if you like "Amelie"

You might want to check out "Everything is Illumiated". It stars Elijah Wood as an eccentric young Jewish man who travels to Eastern Europe to try to find the woman who saved his father in WW2.

It is quirky, heartwarming, and a little tear jerking.

:hi:

[Deja Q]

16. Me? Chocolate, watching DVDs on TV, photography...

Pardon me while I go turn off TV - E! is airing SNL and, sheesh, this is tacky. The Olson twins are guest hosting... and if this passes as comedy... sheesh.

[reyd reid reed]

25. Speaking of irritations...

the Olson twins are in the top half of that list. They just grate on my nerves.

Grrrrrrrrr...

And chocolate....yummmmmmmm.....

:9

[crim son]

21. Things that make me happy - here are a few of them:

A great book
Hugs from my children
The first coffee of the morning
Climbing into bed at night
Cats and kittens
Making music
Singing
The smell of tomato plants
Moments when I feel connected to others
Buying clothes :)
Good food
Dreams
Finishing the job
Helping people
My three sisters
Tropical beaches
Monkeys
Being strong

[reyd reid reed]

26. There are a lot of things on that list

that I love. I'd forgotten about that first cup of coffee of the day.

:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. I get happy by thinking about the little stupid things that make me irritated.

Like shitbags, fuckwits, halfwits, fuckwads, and shitholes.

Nothing makes me happier than being pissed off about something inconsequential!

I also am happy when I'm reading a really good book, get lost in it, and have some kind of snack to nibble on while reading and can do that for a few hours without having to get up to go the bathroom, pick up the blanket, or otherwise disturb my reading process. And if it's snowing outside while this is happening, and there's a fire in the fireplace, all the better.

[reyd reid reed]

24. Oooooh....

a man after my own heart.

What's your favorite thing to nibble on when you're reading?

[lizziegrace]

27. lots of things

harvest moons
the mist rising off the fields early in the morning
seeing Bandit kick, buck and race around the pasture (pure equine joy!)
hearing Widget purr when I pick him up
knowing that my arm is better and I don't have a head injury... :scared:
music, all kinds
Lelapin
knowing my sister is happy and now a British citizen :)
sappy movies and books
this old house. I love this old house.
jokes

and good friends. :hug:

:loveya: sweetie!

[reyd reid reed]

29. She is???

I didn't know she'd gotten her citizenship!!! When was this? Where the hell was I???

I'm so glad you're feeling better today, sweetie.

:hug::hug::hug:

[lizziegrace]

31. She got the box on Valentine's Day

Since it didn't have the return address of her ex-husband, she knew it wasn't a letter bomb. :)

So now the UK is stuck with her. ;)

[reyd reid reed]

54. Lucky UK

and lucky her!!!

Things all better on that front? His hands are tied, aren't they?

Oh, I'm soooooo glad.

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[LynzM]

28. I'm eating Ben and Jerry's Magic Brownies Ice Cream

At this moment, this is making me very happy. Plus Briarius is home, also good for many smiles. :) :) :)

[reyd reid reed]

30. I'm partial to

From Russia With Buzz, myself...and Cherry Garcia.

Enjoy your ice cream. I might have to go home and have some myself.

:9

[LynzM]

33. MMmmmm.... Russia with Buzz... or Chubby Hubby.

Love 'em. :)

[lizziegrace]

32. I bought that today

It can be eaten with one arm in a sling. :evilgrin:

:hi:

[redwitch]

34. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

And great old movies. :-)

[reyd reid reed]

39. Bright copper kettles

and warm woolen mittens.

:D

That movie and "My Fair Lady"....love 'em.

[Seabiscuit]

36. What makes me happy? Easy. My 2 year old son. Every minute of

every day. He's so beautiful and bright and happy and in love with learning about the world he plopped into. He's teaching me how to rediscover the universe.

[reyd reid reed]

41. There really is something almost magical

about watching the world unfold in the eyes of a child. Sounds cliche, but it's true.

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. What makes me happy?

Lots of things....

Great long conversations with a close friend, and no interruptions...

Curling up with my coffee and morning paper

Finding the words inside me for a poem, and being able to write them down before they vanish......

Taking pictures, and not being aware of being separate from the camera...

Sitting here, and feeling the connection to all of you......


:loveya: :hug:

[reyd reid reed]

43. I love long conversations...

I know a few people who can attest to that. Mine are rarely uninterrupted, though.

Oh, well. Sometimes you take what you can get, when you can get it.

:D

[qnr]

42. I'm happy right now. Listening to 30 years worth of The Alan Parsons Project while

coding away on a project of my own.

[reyd reid reed]

44. I'm glad...

:hug::hug::hug:

How've you been? Seems like I haven't seen you around for a while.

:loveya:

[qnr]

45. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I've been here, but infrequently.

I'm doing OK, but busy ... hope things are getting a little better for you :loveya:

[reyd reid reed]

51. They are...

one step at a time, they are.

:hug:

:loveya:

[RevolutionaryActs]

46. Music.

:7


Ooooh and channel surfing to find John Edwards on the TV. He's dreamy. teehee

[reyd reid reed]

52. Meh...

I can do without John Edwards...I like music, though.

Love the stuff from the 70s.

:hug:

:D

[hughee99]

48. Ya ever take a hot bath after shoveling snow?

I hate shoveling snow, but we had a big storm a few years ago and I spent about 6 hours shoveling my driveway. It was falling faster than I could clear it off. Sinking your body into a tub of hot water always feels good, but its all the better after 6 hours of "exercise" and freezing your ass off. A nice glass of port and a cigar and I can't remember a better feeling in the last 3 years (except sex).

[reyd reid reed]

53. That sounds wonderful...

I'm a sucker for a hot bath, anyway...I don't shovel snow, though. I let my kids live to and through their teenage years for a reason. Snow and yard work. Oh, and dishes. Can't forget dishes.

:P

[BreweryYardRat]

55. Good food.

Good books/stories/comics.
Petting a cat.
Getting pleasantly buzzed, but not to the point that I'll throw up.
I collect replica arms and armor-when I have spare time at home, I snag my halberd and run through some of the moves from a fifteenth-century Italian text.
Arm curls and back exercises at the gym.
A full night's sleep. Speaking of which, time for me to get to bed.

[reyd reid reed]

56. G'night.

Sweet dreams.

:hi:
