I was in a pretty rank mood this morning when my friend came by to check on me. She listened to my incessant bitching about the air conditioner man and told me she brought me a surprise....

You know what it was? A paperback book! Yay!

Nothing excites me more than reading grocery store paperbacks, the cheesier the better.

From the back of the book
For Nick Cheney and his wife, their new home, a Hollywood mansion, seemed ideal, despite the extensive renovation needed. But when they uncover a cryptic message left by a movie star long dead, and the movie star takes over Nick's wifes body, the result for Nick is adultry... with his own wife!

ZOMG! *dies*

My friend is so cool. I can't believe she brought me this $1.25 brick of cheese!

What in your life is a guaranteed mood lifter? What simple thing can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?


**also, anyone else love cheesy novels?

That plot is... lacking.

Does skydiving count as a simple pleasure?

Sleeping. It takes my blues away.

I don't like cheesy novels, I like cheesy pizzas.

That plot is... lacking.
I know! I'm like "what the hell are they going to talk about for 200 pages?!" I love it!

Does skydiving count as a simple pleasure?
eh.. it's not complicated... I mean more like an everyday thing though.

Cooking. Especially if I thought of a new recipe and it turns out great.

Or watching a new (as in, not repeat!) interesting documentary on Channel 4 or History.

Well, and sex of course. The kinkier, the better.

Sex, the simplest of pleasures.

Oh, and good conversation.

Jesus usually does it for me. Or playing some Final Fantasy. Or running. Or Basketball. Or going out into wild for hours on end. Yep.:)

Hmm, for me it's conversation with people I know, and actually want to talk to, watching Let's Plays, Monty Python skits, winning at You Have to Burn the Rope... Listening to the title theme of Terranigma. Or at least the start of it. Thinking about my long-term plans (and knowing that I actually have them). And maybe eating, but I usually don't eat unless it's breakfast/lunch/dinner since I'm too busy working for class projects.

Tom and Jerry. *nod*

Oh also add Dina to my list.:)

I usually get my happy by making people laugh (obviously I'm never upset on NS har! ho!) or bursting into song/dance to some tunes (http://youtube.com/watch?v=neKXc7pw4go)

Depends. Window shopping will do it sometimes. So will spaghetti ice cream. Also drawing something that ends up looking just like I wanted.

Bwah?

Revenge for putting songs in my head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Blw8G5FiCY

Doughnuts. Specifically fritters, with coffee.

Or a good cigar.

I like cheesy horror movies. Give me a giant creature or a rogue body part and I'm happier than a puppy with two peckers.

**also, anyone else love cheesy novels?

my mood lifters...

soaking my feet in my foot massager.
having someone run their fingers though my hair
a long soak in a hot tub
painting my figurines
Watching my crayfish (their antics have yet to fail to cheer me up.)
a visit to the petstore
playing Unreal Tornament on my PS2 (for days when I really want to see someone blow up.)


and yes, I like cheesy (fantasy/sci-fi) novels.

Bwah?It's ice cream. Only it looks nigh exactly like spaghetti. :D

Oh also add Dina to my list.:)

Oi, you callin' me simple? :p

Interesting. Is it a European thing?

Revenge for putting songs in my head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Blw8G5FiCY

NOOOO! -song is stuck in his head too-:(

Interesting. Is it a European thing?
Maybe only a German thing, actually. Haven't gone looking for it while outside of the Federal Republic.

Oi, you callin' me simple? :p

It would be a compliment. I hate complexity.

Chocolate..... and sex. If it can be at the same time much better.

Hey look,I have some Hershey's....why don't you come over her for a bit? :p

Silly boy, get some real chocolate.

I'm cheap. :)

yuck! Hersheys shouldnt event count as chocolate... YOU DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TOO PUNK!!!

Im am the only and true POPE OF CHOCOLATE...


Hersheys!?!?! pfffff!

I had exchocolatated people for less than that! :mad:

Today? When I first saw my girlfriend this morning and then when shehugged me for a start..

Hey look,I have some Hershey's....why don't you come over her for a bit? :p

Ugh, I had some Hershey's last week, grainy, sugary and generally unpalatable. Awful stuff.

Silly boy, get some real chocolate.

Hehe, I agree. Hershey's is sugary crap.

A *decent* film always cheers me up. But that's quite hard these days...
A good snog works too though... :fluffle:

I like getting up in the morning with no place to go and nothing to do. I get a trashy novel, turn on the tube, drink tea, eat junk food and vegetate.

Jeez, burn me at the stake then.

Jeez, burn me at the stake then.

We dont burn people at stakes in the Church of Chocolate.

We cover them with hot chocolate at vanilla ice cream.... any way they die.

A good snog works too though... :fluffle:

Snogging is a term I recently learned from my child... I blame Harry Potter books for putting these foul slang words into her head.

These guys take all my pain away.

I can't believe no1 has said this yet, but a giant sized spliff makes me pretty happy. I also really like to listen to cute girls laugh.

Mudwrestling makes my day

I'd rather people lick it off of me. I'm sure death by chocolate lovers licking would be fine:D

I also really like to listen to cute girls laugh.

I love that, and also listening to gals with accents. -drools at british gal accents-

The Dirty Dozen Brass Band. It may in fact be impossible to be in a bad mood and listen to them for too long.

I also really like to listen to cute girls laugh.

It gets old real fast when your a substitute teacher.

Oh geeze, I didn't think of that. And here I am, planning to move to Japan and teach English after college. I don't know how thats gonna work out.

Puns and tea.

The two things that made the UK the nation it is today.

Dont you mean piracy and pillage....


I mean that two things also cheer me up...

Dont you mean piracy and pillage...
That's what made the UK the nation it was a while ago.

Tea and puns calmed most of the nation down quite a bit.

Well I guess we need to talk about football now...

Well I guess we need to talk about football now...
No, no we really don't.

Napping with my dragons, cheese, sunshine and music, I think.

Also, my best friend.

Music, cigarettes, pets, books. Thinks like that.

When someone gives you a good hug. Unfortunately this doesn't happen enough.

A nice cup of tea.

Some Palestrina.

Cigarettes, Earl Grey with lemon, and sarcasm.

Cheesecake and great sex, preferably at the same time, though why that's never happened in my lifetime is beyond me.

*makes mental note to buy cheesecake soon*

You'd have to work somewhat hard to get that in there somehow :p

Aye, small chocolates etc. are very plausible. A cheesecake? More of an effort.

True that, but I've always liked challenges. ;)

Dogs. Snowboarding. A good book. Beer. Coffee. Hockey.

Study, go to the beach, think about my life, kiss, great sex, all these things make me happy when I'm sad.

Three simple things make my day better.

1. Isolation from humanity. I like being alone, and away from other humans. Animals I like, humans, less so. No I don't have many friends, why do you ask?:D

2. Writing. Writing little bits of fiction to my to-be-finished-in-four-years game, complete with history and such brightens my day. Even if I get absolutly nowhere:p

3.NSG. Yes, yes, Sunday school answer, but the collection of clowns, nerds(Such as myself), and other assorted wackos cheer me up.

Let's all break into a chorus of "My Favorite Things."

Hearing someone play death metal (or thrash metal). In a world full of pathetic genres, it's nice to know that I'm not alone.

Music, movies, booze, a good shower. There's a lot that gets me in a good mood, and fortunately not a lot that puts me in a bad one.

Right now? The singing tree and the talking tree on campus. They are metal tree sculptures in the woods on campus - one plays a selection of folk music, and the other reads Navajo poetry and random people talking. They're just nice to walk past late at night.

Also the 'Seven Vices and Seven Virtues'. Neon signs around the physics testing rig with the seven sins and that. They flicker on and off in sequence. Very pretty coming back at night.

Chocolate (Cadburys or Galaxy) Pizza, Hugs from my friends and Hot Chocolate:D

Mango juice mixed with Guava juice and ice, ah yes it hits my taste buds like an electrified glass of water in the warm weather i'm having.
