What makes you happy?

... and a lot of other stuff as well.

What makes me happy. Hmm:

-Drawing
-Sleeping
-Sitting on the computer
-Listening to music
-Being alone (Maybe just being with my family and my sisters dog)
-Taking pictures

Finishing a work of art that I actually like. That is the only thing in my life that makes me truly happy. Everything else is just for maintaining a base level of contentment from which I can operate in order to create those works, and without which is impossible.

I love to get lost with my best friend. She'll drive the two of us to some brand new place and just cruise around. It's one of the best things in the world.

Of course, it has to be with her. If I ever get lost by myself, or with anyone else, I tend to freak. But when it's with her? Wonderful.

-Being with people I like
-Traveling in solitude
-Reading my favorite stories
-Writing
-Drawing
-Listening to music

Immersing myself in my favorite subject matter
spending long hours researching my interests until I either am too tired to continue or am satisfied with what I have learned
adding to my collections
personal paparazzi'ing/photography
writing.... only when I have an idea where I'm going.

Not happy, just soothingly content.

almost nothing at this point, since I haven't found an ideal friend

but computers do, unless I get to the point where I'm having computer issues and I get sick of troubleshooting

Quiet time

Good conversation

Control of the remote

Something in my size on clearance

Booze

Eating

Money (rare)

My computer

-Playing video-games
-Listening to music
-reading a book or magazine
-riding my bike or jogging
-working out
-internet

Being alone and playing video games makes me happy.

Talking to my friend makes me happy sometimes, but it can also depress me.

Getting new books always makes me happy.

Finishing a good book or a really good movie also makes me happy.

And bubble baths.

Ideal scenario:

Small confined space (possibly a tent or some kind of cubicle) with snacks, coffee, a big chunky hardback book on evolutionary biology, book stand and knitting. Nobody in the house. Phone off the hook. Hours to kill.

Nightmare scenario:

Nightclub *shudder*

Being out with my friends, as a threesome.
