-Hanging out with one of my two friends.
-Having something new to obsess over (music, TV show, theory, philosophy, etc).
-Living independently (and not in Houston).
-Having money to spend.
-Peace and quiet (or uninterrupted listening of good music).
-An incredible cup of coffee made from freshly roasted beans.

Is that your account? You do know you can get a paid account for a year or 2 and upload MORE. I have around 500 in my album which I have had to arrange in collections as the sets were getting to big.

I love my computers. I like the idea of building the ultimate gaming machine. It's a shame not many manufacturers make a dual socket board these days. Every time I search, I get re-directed to dual-core. I want more CPU's so I can go from 2x cores to an octa-core machine with Tri-SLi graphics (or more if the board/GFX can take it) with tri-channel memory [DROOL] almost porn to me... RAID5 or 6 with RAID 0 for booting from separate hard drives for speed.

Oh, and driving... Modifying my car from hybrid to full UK spec. Loads of cars are designed to be left hand drive. Not many people see it, but I do. If I told you, you might see it too. You may care, you may not. But it bothers the hell out of me

I tend to think of "happy things" as things that soothe me or calm me: skipping rocks, wearing my motorcycle helmet while watching train videos on youtube, rhythmically bouncing a ball against a wall, wrapping up very tight in a blanket, building simple stuff at work.

Oh, and if I get to start talking to someone about Fantasy Football, that's fantastic! Better yet if they understand what I'm talking about.

Drop the coffee and change that from not living in Houston to living in Houston and you've summed up my notion of happiness. :)

Add 'playing videogames' to that list and 'drinking coke' as well as coffee (and also remove the 'not in Houston' as I can't make judgement) and these are the things that make me happy.

I've just started getting back into gaming again, but I only have two games: Silent Hill 2 and God of War.

- The sims (I'm addicted)
- microfibre throws for couches (so soft!)
- Finding a new obsession to get 1000 pictures and articles of and organising them into the most perfect in-computer reference source ever created. I should by all rights be an encyclpedia creator. My computer is stuffed with what seems like useless crap.

In no particular order; my mother, music, going to gigs with friends, drinking with friends, my special interests, getting a new special interest, coffee, when someone understands me, my cat and dog, when a social outing goes very smoothly, etc.

Those types of things make me happy.

among other things, female attention.

i'm self-conscious, low self-esteem, and very low confidence. so when i get looks, hit on, or even something more than that :wink: . i'm in pretty fantastic mood for quite a while.

Well,

Quote:
Internet,computer and daydreams plus my school grades make me happy


You're everything I need, handed from above
I can't get enough of your love
Cause it makes me happy
it makes me happy
Living in a day-dream
I'll show you what it all means
Spending some time in the sun
Let's get up and run it's just beginning
And I just can't stop singing now
Cause it makes me happy
Like a fantasy that you never find
Right in front of me all the time
And it makes me happy
I want it all but not too much I wanna feel the way you touch
me
