The Happy Things Thread

Post something that makes you happy? Mine is this song.

Puppies kick ass!

Watching this:

I will not post a picture of my girlfriend.

Spending time with children - be it at church with Sunday school or helping mothers with preschool aged children, working before/after school care, in the classroom (when prac is on) or working as a manny (male nanny)

I have found nothing makes me as happy as being with kids

Going to bed late and waking up early to make a fantastic breakfast and playing some fantastic games.

@FluxWaveZ: WTF. this is an absolute good.

Stop this insanity. Only depressing and semi controversial topics are allowed on Giantbomb. Did nobody get the memo?

Being alive, and being online.

This song. I'm the furthest thing from an otaku or a jazz (or is this bebop?) fan but Baccano and its soundtrack are great:

as well as that one gif where a penguin slaps another penguin down into the water. It's so stupidly hilarious, I just don't know how to post gifs so I'll link it.

Making food and then eating it.

I've starting playing my guitar again. Theres something fun about fiddling with guitar scales and stuff.

Also:

@FluxWaveZ: I love Japan.

@believer258: The best part of that is how completely fucked up that show can get (even though it's still pretty darn good, and I don't even usually go for anime). Also, that gif is gold.

Here's my two cents.

Pretty much all of Baccano is completely bonkers. Nuts. Loony. A few sandwiches short of a picnic. Not playing with a full deck. And it's so self aware of everything it is and doesn't try to be anything else at all. That and the expert way the whole thing is executed is what makes me love that show. Oh, and I've never had so much fun watching a TV show where half the cast loves to brutally murder people. They just do it with such glee that it makes characters like Ladd all the more loveable for some twisted reason.

yeah you dont want me to post, trust me

Absolutely. By the time the Young Conductor is like " b-t-dubs, I too am a murdering psychopath," it's kind of like, fuck it man, who isn't these days. There were some parts I didn't much care for, but even then, you have to give them props for going there. I couldn't even really decide if I liked it half the time I was watching, but I still enjoyed it, if that makes sense.

listening to this while I figure out how to truly open my chakras is keeping me pretty happy for now

VIDEOGAMES!

Metal Concerts. Last one was the Mushroomhead Halloween Show. Next up, Rammstein. After an intense mosh pit, I usually have a big ol' slightly blooded smile on my face.

Building a LEGO set, it's very rewarding seeing it all come together.

That was one of the weirdest things I've seen in a while. On a side note; Christina Applegate was so fucking hot in that show.

Knowing that someday I'll die and none of my "friends" will care :)

Last night I got high, forgot all my worries and just got lost in this game. Happiest I've been in awhile.

Every once in a while, when I'm feeling down and nothing else seems to bring me up, I'll make me the greasiest, toastedest, most italian god damn sandwich you ever laid nostrils on. It is the ultimate in fatass ammunition / comfort eating.

Otherwise, I'll go play a super metroid hack. I loved super metroid when I was a kid, so just drowning myself in that kind of nostalgia can be pretty fun.

Girlfriend and the fact we are living in exciting times.

Here is my contribution:

I'm pretty happy about the fact that it's my birthday! Which means cake!

I remember being happy when I was a child. Before I knew any better.

We need to keep this alive! Off Topic has become so goddamn depressing.

Watching any episode from the first eight seasons of The Simpsons fills my belly with happy nostalgia butterflies!

This song has made me feel good inside every time I've listened to it for the past 10 years.

@Chop: YES please.... the world has enough negativity, and internet forums in general seem to attract it.

@GloriousDinosaur: me too! Nothing makes me happier than when a child tells you one of those stories that keeps on with "....and then......and then...." that lasts like, five minutes!

Hugging kitties (or my boyfriend) makes me happy too.

Massage endings

This song.

It simply reminds me of, what I think is, one of the most well executed and enjoyable scenes in modern entertainment. Yeah, it isn't necessarily thought provoking high art but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
