Tell me... what makes you happy?
Wow, this could be quite a list... Things that make me happy. Well, since you mention Hello Kitty, I have to say that my 2003 Hello Kitty calendar keeps my darkest days at least remotely bright... I love my laptop, too. I have a G3 PowerBook. After using Windows PCs all day, coming home to my Mac really makes me feel better. Pink lemonade, good pizza, and chicken caesar salads are some of the foodstuffs that can help pick me up when I'm down.
Playing through parts of Final Fantasy 6 makes me really happy, too. That, and Jumping Flash! 2. Some older games that I just really loved when I first played them are kinda like therapy for me.
Oh, and 4+ player Halo. Especially with 8 players on 2 Xboxes! Now that's a good way to spend a night with friends.
Driving fast on country roads (but not so fast that my poor Contour Sport flies off the road!), getting out of school, getting off of work... Watching movies with friends, reading a good book...
Good manga! That's an especially big one! I got the new Shonen Jump in the mail yesterday and I was absolutely thrilled! One Piece makes me grin when I read it. I feel like a little kid when Shonen Jump shows up. It really made my day.
Music I like picks me up, too. Even if it's kinda depressing. I absolutely love Tom Waits. Small Change is a particularly wonderful CD.
Getting into a made bed when I'm so tired I can hardly keep my head upright, and laying down on cold pillows... Cellos. Dogs and cats. Origami. Sleeping on other people's couches. Seeing someone smile when they see me. Hugs from friends. Blank CDs. Guardian Heroes. Collecting my movie ticket stubs.
Sleeping in. Rain. Swimming on a hot summer night.
Cripes, this list could go on forever. There really are a lot of good things in life. We don't need to worry about the bad stuff all the time when there's so much good. It's just sometimes that the bad seems overpowering, I guess... Of course, that's when lists like this come in handy.

Wow such happy things! I have a Hello Kitty 2003 calender, too. ^_^ I love to crawl into bed when I'm really tired. I'll be doing that in JUST a few minutes! LOL. I also like sleeping in... I love more to sleep in on rainy days.. despite loving to stand in the rain just to feel it and listen to it. I LOVE water.. so I love to swim if no one else is around. I'm self conscious so I don't like people LOOKING at me. ^_^; But that sounds really really fun... I love manga, too. LOVE manga... and new anime. New anime makes me VERY happy. ^_^

Aliens. Killin' em. Of course, aliens devouring hapless and weak humans are good, too. I also like robots, ultra-violence, classic anime (I enjoy a good bit of new stuff, too...) manga, women, cheap horror films, porn, Indian and Japanese cuisine, music ( pretty much any sort will do.. quite fond of 'metal and ethnic musics), friendly people, avoiding work, getting off work, passing work on to others, shirking work, receiving useless work that's impossible to complete on time so I can shirk it without any chance of punishment, coconut milk, fruit, squandering money I ought to be saving, and of course, the big one, games.

Things that make me happy? Playing games, just sitting back and listening to relaxing songs, having hot chocolate at this really nice cafe with a friend, and my plush doll collection. There are probably others, but I am forgetting them right now. Also, seeing as this is my first post here, I will take this time to introduce myself. Hi everyone, the name is EternalNewbie. I have been lurking around this board since July 2001, so thought it would be time to start posting. I would go on to describe myself, but as I post more, you can all establish your own views of me. As for the recent negative vibes around this place, I think they will go away when the Professor begins to update the main page more frequently. Which, with his recent return, will hopefully start soon. Without any news from the main page to talk about, people start posting more random things that will draw on peoples' opinions, which can sometimes lead to this gloom. Hopefully, the sun will shine more brightly around here.

This is a post for all of us out there depressed about the current stuff. Like Hello Kitty and a good videogame ending..... we're gonna make some happy stuff... (Yes, I sound like a Richard Simmons on crack type person right now.)
Tell me... what makes you happy?
I like cherry popsicles, rain, and windy days. I like a bed SOOOO soft.. that you have to CLIMB out of it. I like lolly pops (cherry of course).. and I dunno if you've heard of it... but Squeeze Pops. That candy is utterly addictive. I like stuffed animals... yeah, I guess I'm still KINDA feminine, no? Bwa hahahahahaha... and I always love a good book, a nice shoujo manga, and my favorite music.
What about you?
i like really hot days, the type where every step you take makes your sweat a vucketload. ^_^;
i like classic and modern gaming.(MVS/PS2 baby!)
i like subbed anime, dubbing can kiss my ass.
my fiance is important to me. ^_^!!!****
music helps,too... lots of j-rock/j-pop,and abit of others,too.

For me, most of what makes me happy involves one or a combination of these two things:
1) Being productive and efficient with time, academic or otherwise. Besides getting done with a reading or homework efficiently (and remembering it all too!), it also includes finally giving myself time to, say, watch an episode I had gotten a while ago but put off watching (yeah, I don't automatically lean toward watching episodes!), finally giving myself time to work on costumes (which includes detailed planning), etc.
2) Making other people feel happy. Yes, that sounds incredibly sappy, but it's true -- I feed off seeing other people happy, and it's magnified all the more when I'm the cause of it. It gives me a feeling of worth. (Part of the reason I like doing costume performing. Also, what does it too is getting complements from setting up anime club shows, which includes choosing appropriate anime music videos to show inbetween episodes.)
There are other environmental things (not just natural -- can also be an artificial environment) that also send me in good spirits -- good smells, cool air, light rain, awesome views, etc. Or, good visual or musical art experience, good plotline from a medium, general fun factor of an activity. (Video games set that off quite well. Especially dancing/rhythm games.)
[Edit: Also -- welcome to posting on the BBS, EternalNewbie! You've definitely been around longer than I have. Enjoy posting!]

What makes me happy? The joy of watching your children grow. Watching little Krizalid grow up filled me with so much cheer. I remember the first time I brought him to the beach at night to show him the stars but he only wanted to swim. Soon he became a teenager and asked me for his first celebrity clone. I remember being so proud as he lost his virginity to Ava Fabian clone. We gave him his first power suit and recorded the data.
Or who could forget that upstart K'? We all had so much fun reprogramming his memories that I think we went a little over board! (chuckles) You know what I'm talking about Diana! It was all worth it to see the look on his face when I released his memories so he could fight me with all his hatred. Ho ho ho, those were the days! We didn't mean to give you gray hair. K', you're beautiful baby. Don't ever change.
Speaking of K', remember the good times when we forced our puppet Jeed to do cybernetic experiments on humans? Gotta love those cruel jokes like that fail safe we implemented in Maxima that left him only able to shoot blanks. Hey Maxima, hope that neck kink has worked out for you. You can ride in my side car anytime. Keep those side burns babe, Rocky can't grow them.
It makes me happy to eat space food, and to contemplate the Gods. My letterman's jacket makes me happy. Being an organization builder makes me happy, and it makes me happy to order my subordinates around. How about that time we took over that Venezuelan Culto Espiritual de la Madre Naturaleza? Dad, who knew that the NAZI's chasing them out of the old world would have paid off so? You did baby! Invaluable assets to our organization such as this make me proud.
How about those company picnics. Remember Kula, she was so scared to do the backwards falling off the table exercise and be caught by other people. But when she saw that Foxy, Diana and Candy were there for her she gave us all her trust. Hey Misty, remember when old man Nests was giving some wind bag speech, and you and I snuck off under the bleachers and made out. Or how about those pranks we pulled, like that time when we temporarily programmed Candy to start fires. Hehe!
Remember the good times when Ron joined our dark order? Whohoh Ron! Can you say party animal? Combining our technology with his power was a real pay off. Ronnie, you're the most powerful force on Earth! Your idea for Hawaiian-Shirt-Fridays was lots of fun. Let's go bar hopping some time and pick up some chicks.

Welcome Eternal Newbie! All are welcomed here.. despite the apparent atmosphere! Ha ha ha ha! ^_^; I'm certainly looking forward to getting to know you as I have with all the friendly newbies. I'm the resident dubbed "Mistress". Pleasure's all mine.. ^_~
Hello Kitty Calendar! Who doesn't have one?!?! It's a necessity, isn't it? Who can live without Hello Kitty? Just kidding! ^_~ I grew up on it... weird as it just might seem. I had a FAVORITE soap dish that had Hello Kitty on it. ^_^; hai hai.. A bit strange for a child to attach herself to a soap dish.
Jazzie- Oh! I completely forgot about hot baths! O_O Those are awesome. ;_; Wish I got the opportunity to get one of those more often. Oh.. what I would do for a hot springs vacation!
Satoshi Miwa- foooooood... *drools* yummy food always does it. I'm particuarly fond of almond cookies. ^_^ I have a wretched sweet tooth!
Kikkoken- Only if you're cherry flavored and extra gooey. ^_~
Radish- oh yes... spending money on random things makes me feel better too, sometimes. I particuarlly like to blow my money on totally pointless but entertaining things.
Hungrywolf- Kenshin! <3 Rurouni Kenshin's my dedicated "home from school, sick" stuff. It always makes me feel better because no matter how gloomy it seems at times, it always perks up eventually. So when I'm sick I binge on it all day long. Of course.. add a recent addition to my Feel-good anime, Fruits Basket!
Justicekyo- REALLY REALLY hot days? o_O Why on earth? But then again. I've no room to complain. If I can't see my breath, I'm not happy. I like weather do be cold and damp.. afterall, I LOVE the rain.
Holiday- Friends including me? Awwww! *squeeze hug* The Chinese New year is cool. Year of the Sheep right? Woot woot! Comrades in arms! Sheep are about the only people who can even begin to tolerate the Boar (me). ^_^; So mo' powa to 'em!
OmegaDog- I agree. Making other people feel happy makes me very happy too. Some of my closer friends would agree. I'm a crusador of cheerfulness. Whenever someone's feeling down.. I'm there. I love to cheer people up and battle the ever present Cloud o' Doom that seems to lurk everywhere this day and age. ^_^
Rugal and JJJ- o_O Well.. you guys just go on being gay- I mean HAPPY! HAPPY!! >_<
Mog- CLAMP makes me happy too. O_O They're art is so beautiful. But they can make me sad too. I wanna be that good! I swear it, I will someday. I'll be able to pack that much detail into a single page! Shoujo manga makes me happy, too. It's really easy to find lighthearted things... things that are a bit more happy go lucky.
Gen- K' makes me happy.. in so many ways.
Naruto- So you like soft beds too, eh? ;p Maybe we should share. No one else has mentioned that. I admit.. I love beds that are just indecently soft.. so soft and piled high with poofy blankets and many many pillows. I love it.. and not to mention.. King sized or bigger! LOL.. I LOVE good beds. I love to sleep, dream, lounge around... my bed is my world! ^_^;

Thank you for the welcome Tashoku Kisune! Ah, just got done sleeping in for around 16 hours and it felt good. More things that make me happy: weekends, sleeping, going through my manga collection and reading random series, this really nice Orchid garden in Japan I know of, taking nice relaxing showers, snowy days, and highly caffeinated drinks when I have lots of things to do. Hehe, as said before, alot of people seem to like rainy days, but I prefer snowy days. Sitting back with a nice hot drink listening to either the theme for Enhasa from Chrono Trigger or 'When Tension Breaks', and watching the snow fall when you have nothing better to do; it makes me very happy ^_^
