Expressions of Joy

[Pusscat]

Well, I thought we needed a thread to balance out the negative energy pulsating from the Expressions of Rage thread.

This thread is for posting about things that you have recently enjoyed/made you smile/happy/laugh etc.


E.g

I snuck out of Animesoc early last night and went to a salsa live band night at The Wardrobe. I had an absolute FAB time, and got right back into it. Haven't had a proper salsa in ages so I practically died after the first full on dance ("Oh my god, please stop spinning me I'm about to collapse") but it was sooooo good! The music was brilliant - the lead singer looked like a total chav but had an amazing voice and sung in Spanish.

I heard/saw some styles of music/dance that I'd not seen before, cha cha cha and bachata. Mmmm bachata is slow and sexy!


Also just had a nice long conversation with mum/sister/dad and found out that our errant cat (long story!) is a total user. She has started jumping in front of mum's computer screen, sitting down and purring madly, demanding attention and then buggers off after 10 minutes without so much as a thankyou curl up on the lap!

So - what's made you happy today?

Fucking hippy!

I've been in a self imposed quarantine for a couple of weeks now, as I've had one hell of a cold. I've not been talking to people or anything, and been staying at Leeds most of the week so I don't pass it on to my family, so I've had a relatively miserable time, however, it seems to be subsiding now, which makes me most happy

I also bought a tile based 'boardgame' called Zombies!!! which is damn ace and I was playing it last week with my housemate Nestor (he is immune to my cold) and we've both been loving it. That too has been making me very pleased

[nerve]

Funny you should mention cats Lizzie. Both my parents phoned me up consecutively today so I was on the phone for about five hours straight, and during this time I was informed that my cat (who has never been very conventional in her diet) is now addicted to vegetarian, garlic and mushroom pizza! That's just super-cute in my opinion.

PS While I don't think elle presidente is a hippy at all, negative energy doesn't pulsate, it buzzes.

Yayness, I woke up this morning, whihc is quite an achievement in itself as I dont usually do mornings, and I no longer feel like death

[Pusscat]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

YES YE SYES YEYSEYSYYESYYEEYSYSY!



I got through!!! I got a letter saying I've passed the interview!

Don't hear till march where I'm going (and might evenend up on a waiting list) but I'm GOING!

Not enough smilies in the world to express my grin!

[Hat_Hair]

Awesome. Congratulations.

[Ryoga]

Enhorabuena! Te lo merces!

[jess]

Intriguing, big secret eh?

[ash]

wahey!! i actually had a descent nite's sleep last nite!!
i usually dnt sleep 2 bad- and i didnt go 2 bed any earlier than i usually do!!i just seemed to have passed out rather rapidly and i cnt remember waking up at random times like i usually do!! i dunno why it was different last nite- i cant think of any particular reason why i should be sleepin better! hmm..i guess im just silly! but i woke up this morning quite fresh!!

its bizarre!! none of that usual groggy haze that takes a couple of hours to fully disappear! its a very very bizarre surreal feeling, being fully wide awake and bouncey at 9am!! the world seems far 2 quiet!! and it seems like lunchtime already!

i'm probly gonna end up annoying sum ppl 2day with my awakeness ! tho i may well burn out before lunch, unless i've somehow managed to obtain unlimited energy, like we you were a kid!! ah man i miss being a kid- twas so much fun...er..ok, i'm rambling!! im far 2 awake! i'll shut up now and sing random songs in my head....or out loud as it annnoys more ppl that way

[cauterize]

Why am i giddy!? Am i never not giddy!?
Well... here is the recent explanation...

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The rarest of all Megadrive PAL releases is now in my collection (once it arrives!!!)
Ontop of that, another piece of Megadrive goodness was bought for me by my Dad a few days earlier...

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8256534285&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

Ontop of that i have this week off, as alot of you know as ive been bouncing around about it...
Next is ive secured my ticket for the Slam Dunk fest in May

As well as that i (as well as Ash had an awesome sleep) as i only caught 2 hours on Saturday night...
However i did nearly die in my sleep... My dad hasnt been too well and with my room beign right next to the bathroom i can hear all the grousome SFX thru my thin wall...
I woke up at 4:30 hearing the sounds. So i decided to get soem earphones and listen to some nice music until he had gotten better...
I accidently fell back asleep, and i wriggle loads in my sleep.... At 7am i woke up with the headphone wired doubley wrapped around my neck
If anyone walked in they would have seen what looked like a self suicide attempt!! Luckly i was okay though!

[christie]

I'm ridiculously happy, and for no real reason at all!! People keep trying to wind me up and yet I'm still cheerful! I think its because of this:
1. In the past week I managed to get really really cheap Hello Kitty cushions
2. Lady and the Tramp and Cinderella DVD's arrived the past couple of days.
3. Valentines day rocked, despite being my first Valentines day ever single.
4. I've had lots of fun hanging out with you guys all this week, thank you so much! x

[Psynergy]

I appear to have developed full immunity to the after effects of alcohol, I'm owed one hell of a hangover but it's not happened, in fact I felt better when I woke up this morning than I usually do.

Joy is in order!

[Hasney]

Damn you! I wish I had some of that. I'm a little hungover Seen Jamie and he seems fine as well! At least compared to me....

Still, awesome night out so I will second that joy!

[onikate]

a not feeling particularly joyfull as I'm a bit worried about a friend who hasnt been seen in letures or online & is not answering her phone for 3 days...
however I have:
1)my coolio presentation to do tomoro, which i have just finished the powerpoint for and it RULES I love it when i get to do presentaions on ANYTHING relevant: mines on poison & relative toxicology PUFFERFISH!!!

2) I got a 1st in my biochem exam ;D

3) I didnt get rained on AT ALL yesterday, despite havingto wander about in town: everytime i went out, the rain miraculously stopped until i went back inside again

[ash]

i had another awsome nite's sleep- out like a light, dead as a log!! i did wake up at 5 am this time as i usually do, but i feel back asleep rather rapidly! and i woke up feeling quite fresh!! i havent slept this weel since the time of yore!! in fact i feel much more dead now after 4 hours of glorius clinical symposia!! urghh..at least the days over now.

[Jamie]

Twas a truly awesome night out, for many reasons, Im still sort of ok, but the effects are starting to catch up on me. Oh and secondary joy, Rick sold me his sick of it all ticket!!!! WOOOOOOO!

[jess]

Just ordered the DVD boxset of the 3 Kenshin OVAs. ;D And for a bargainous price, too (£24!) Also ordered the first vol of the Loveless manga ^^ (as for some reason all the manga places in leeds seem to have a conspiracy to ignore its existence or something)

Also am done with lectures for the day, have none tomorrow, one's cancelled on Thurs, and my current coursework's nearly done~~ ;D

[marisa]

I hit rock bottom the other day but since then things have started to look up, ive impressed a supervisor in my old job and they are giving me work at the central office in town ££££
My best mate in the world was there for me when no one else gave a crap and gave me the hope i needed to be more positive, shes also helping me with the new job thing. shes even asked me to get a flat ooo girly party bacherlarette flattttt, if only i had the money!!! but im still holding out for a permanent job in something I love, with training then i wont go back to college then ill have money to get a nice flatshare and live happy eva after hahaha.

[ash]

i had an awsome day!! i hardly did anything constrictive workwise i guess, but stiil most of the day was spent in game on with either jamie or tony or both- and i had some very cool conversations!! then i got a fair bit done at my medics council meeting, then we saw some kickass anime at the showing, and i had a good time at japanic- albeit if i was only there briefly- didnt see much of chris, jay, yoshi or harriet unfortunately- but i'm nacked and ive got clinicals 2moro, and i needed to catch the last bus home!! now im all shaved and ready foor 2moro- and im about 2 head 2 bed!! what a beautiful waste of a day its been constructive in other ways i guess- which just makes it better!! chilled and semi-constructive!

[nerve]

We didn't talk about Kung Pow or Homestar Runner last night!
<wipes a tear of pure liquid glee from eye>

And on a less hyperchouette note, kebabs are awesome! Ripping into one in the privacy of your own home, like a majestic mountain lion feasting on a lean and chewy tourist...suberb ;D

[ash]

hehehe- wow, thats quite eleoquent...in a disturbing way.
