Get your minds out of the gutter, NSG. <_<

As some of you may know, I am currently out of Spain on sick leave. So, I'm supposed to be resting and not getting into too much. Wrong! I seem to always be on the move, even when I'm not supposed to.

To the point, which needs a bit of background. I've been, all day, caressing and taking a look, also restoring, a couple of antiques, inckluding handling slabs of unprocessed Thessos and Carrara marbles. Gorgeous! But the cherry topping to my restoration sundae was a a set of antique chairs, mahogany and leather sittings with etched seals, that I was, virtually, making love to with reviver polisher. I took me half the morning doing this and, when I finished my lovemaking session, the chairs' aspect gave me intense satisfaction.

The chairs looked something like this.

Now, to the question at hand: NSG, what things do you do that bring you intense satisfaction?

Sex. And where are you if not in Spain?

Sex. And where are you if not in Spain?

Besides sex, dear.

I am halfway across the globe from you.

"I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies."

Besides sex, dear.

I am halfway across the globe from you.

Eating, sleeping, talking with friends/family, walks in the country, exercise, reading, listening to decent music, NSG, good films/T.V., playing guitar, drawing and more. Halfway across the globe? That's not specific enough. I demand details!

Anything useful.

I don't do many useful things, so on the occasion that I do, I intensely enjoy it.

Painting...
Writing...
Drawing...

and why are you out of spain on sick leave? they only want you there when you're healthy?

and where in the US are you?

Eating, sleeping, talking with friends/family, walks in the country, exercise, reading, listening to decent music, NSG, good films/T.V., playing guitar, drawing and more.

All those are good and well.

Halfway across the globe? That's not specific enough. I demand details!

If I tell you, I would have to kill you.

and why are you out of spain on sick leave? they only want you there when you're healthy?

and where in the US are you?

Because my job was about to kill me.

I am on the south of the US, way south. A bit after Cuba, a bit.

Halfway across the globe? That's not specific enough. I demand details!

It might be very specific. You're in Bristol? Simply take your coordinates, add 180° to your longitude, subtract 90° from your latitude, and look up that spot on a world map.

EDIT: oh, that kind of halfway. Sorry, misunderstood.

As someone who likes to restore and build furniture, I just want to say that you have done well with this chair. I wish more people were like us.


And as for satisfaction. I figured out what my unknown chemical is today in structural chemistry. That was pretty satisfying.

Reading.
Video games (especially RPGs).
Movies.
Comic books.
Dining (especially trying various ethnic cuisines).
Learning new languages (working on Portuguese and Spanish at the moment).
Browsing Wikipedia.
And many more.

Because my job was about to kill me.

You job has a mind of its own? :eek:

Learning new languages (working on Portuguese and Spanish at the moment).

Oh come on, they're the same language, you just want to double your language credentials. *Runs before H2 or Nanatsu proves him wrong*

Peeling carrots has got to be it for me

Oh come on, they're the same language, you just want to double your language credentials. *Runs before H2 or Nanatsu proves him wrong*

lol, they're actually quite different, though they share many similarities. A buddy of mine who has lived in both a Spanish-speaking country (Panama) and a Lusophone one (Mozambique) told me that while they look a lot alike on paper, in practice they sound very different.

Intellectual Discussion, usually on NSG, winning a multiplayer map against complete idiots on the internet, et cetera.

Problem solving, number crunching, statistics, and creating reports. Input, Process, Output, Repeat. Knowledge is power.

Besides satisfaction is over rated just ask Marvin.

He would be correct. I know spanish so if I see Portuguese written I can understand tons of it as it's quite similar to Spanish, but spoken . . . that's another animal entirely. Obviously I can get some words here and there but it's difficult. I can understand spoken Italian much better than spoken Portuguese. (and I think Italian sounds much better :p )

having a cold bottle of soda (drunken in my own time no rush) after a hard days work is the greatest anti-suicide medication evar!

blowing stuff up and alchohol also work :)

You job has a mind of its own? :eek:

Nanatsu works for the military wing of the salvation army silly

Composing music
Playing music
Listening to music
Learning and discussing ideas
VIDYA GAEMS
Exercise (don't get enough of any more)
Drinking and socialising
Movies
Tv
And a lot more

Listening to music, reading, hunting, fishing, fire, babysitting my cousins....

Hope. That's all that is worth living for.

Laughter.

Good food, good friends, good movies, good books. But mostly laughter. :)

I'm sorry, but I can't get no satisfaction.

I mean, I try and I try and I try and I try.

But I can't get no satisfaction.

I guess this too, if it's not deep it damn well better be steep. Or both, which it was. :)

Now, to the question at hand: NSG, what things do you do that bring you intense satisfaction?
For me: Getting through the weeds in my artwork.

When I'm making artwork, I have this idea in my head, and I go and collected random images and objects that I think might express/evoke that idea.

Then starts the long process of designing the work -- that's "being in the weeds." It can be torture. All my personal issues get raised -- fear of commitment, indecision, self-doubt, too many options, second-guessing, etc. I spend countless hours editing the collected materials, adding to them, deleting from them, altering them. I obsess over every detail. Most of the time, I have no idea what the piece is going to be at the end. Sometimes it works out quickly, other times a piece can languish for years in the studio, trying to find its way.

But there does come a time when, like magic, the idea is there. It comes together as I arrange the materials, and voila! What's in my head is coming out of my head.

When I can go through all that confusion, pressure, doubt, and work, and at the end look at what I made and say, "Yes, that works."

That is the biggest boost of satisfaction I get.

Listening to music, reading, hunting, fishing, fire, babysitting my cousins....

I've always found fire more mesmerizing myself I wonder which one is the pyromaniac :p

I'm sorry, but I can't get no satisfaction.

I mean, I try and I try and I try and I try.

But I can't get no satisfaction.

*pushes you and then just touches you*

And where are you if not in Spain?

she became an arch conservative and moved to the deep south of the US.

I enjoy lifting weights, working on my many charity projects, playing American Football (light contact flag football these days). I like writing, music, going to watch my beloved NY Yankees. That's right, suck it I'm a Yankee fan :) NSG

I don't really have things that bing me satisfaction these days, I just really go about doing what I do whatever that may be. I suppose the only thing that does give me statisfaction is when I bust my ass writing a 23 page case study for uni over two days and ending up with a HD.

killing Japinazis in COD5

^This, though I prefer to be killing Japisoviets.

Intellectual Discussion, usually on NSG, winning a multiplayer map against complete idiots on the internet, et cetera.

See this makes me happy but not satisfaction, what really brings me satisfaction is doing this but against a very skilled and intelligent player, because it means you had to work for it rather than simply going through motions and beating them because they are crap.

It would be similar to getting into a fist fight with a 5 year old, it is to simple to beat them, but go against someone who is stronger than you and has some skill well to beat them brings about a lot of satisfaction

Finding a reference for whatever circumstance i'm in, be it work, hostage situation, NSG, family meetings, job interviews, TG's, standing in line at the market ....

Pretty much this and looking at well designed cars and buildings.

I didn't know you play guitar, what kind?

I like baking bread and eating the first, hot, freshly cut slice slathered with butter. I like cooking. I find great satisfaction in finishing creative projects - like cross-stitching (especially my own patterns), painting, spinning yarn - there's something fundamentally pleasing about taking fiber and turning it into yarn and then into a shawl or scarf.

creating and exploring, alone, with complete intellectual freedom. nothing have i ever found to be more sustainably and continuously gratifying.

I didn't know you play guitar, what kind?

The kind with strings.

It may sound corny, but life, being alive, living, taking enjoyment from the fact that I am.

When a plan comes together.

The kind with strings.

Sarky git.

I meant eletric? Acoustic? Classical?

Sarky git.

I meant eletric? Acoustic? Classical?

Classical guitar is music that you play on an acoustic, not a sort of guitar. Anyway I play electric.

Venezuela?

No my silly English friend. I'm in the Caribbean.

No my silly English friend. I'm in the Caribbean.

Whereabouts? Cuba?

Whereabouts? Cuba?

2 more islands down, to the east.

2 more islands down, to the east.

Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico?

Bingo.

Bingo.

Apparently it's muy bonito, is that right?

Apparently it's muy bonito, is that right?

Yes, it is. It's quite a happy place, people are very gentile and the weather is just amazing.

Classical guitar is music that you play on an acoustic, not a sort of guitar. Anyway I play electric.

That can be argued either way, you wouldn't play acoustic on a 12-string.

How long ya been playing?

Yes, it is. It's quite a happy place, people are very gentile and the weather is just amazing.

Do they speak Spannish there, Rukia-chan?

That can be argued either way, you wouldn't play acoustic on a 12-string.

That sentence makes no sense.

How long ya been playing?

Since March last year, but the teacher was pathetic, so I left him in August, and got another one in October who's a lot better.

Yes, it is. It's quite a happy place, people are very gentile and the weather is just amazing.

No Jews then?

Do they speak Spannish there, Rukia-chan?

Spanish is the main language, but English is widely spoken too.

No Jews then?

There are Jewish people here, yes.

That sentence makes no sense.
.
Yeah it does. You said that classical is not really a guitar and I said that a 12-string is only supposed to play classical(origanaly anywayz).


Since March last year, but the teacher was pathetic, so I left him in August, and got another one in October who's a lot better.
You any good?

Now, to the question at hand: NSG, what things do you do that bring you intense satisfaction?

Mod NSG from my toilet. :D

I now have a netbook, which means I can mod at any time so long as there is a wi-fi connection somewhere. Teehee.

Spanish is the main language, but English is widely spoken too.

And you're over there cos your job was trying to stab you?

And you're over there cos your job was trying to stab you?

If you need to relax, Puerto Rico is one of the best places ever for it, imo, so she's likely getting her money's worth. Much <3 for Puerto Rico.

Anyway, for me, it would be traveling. I love being on the move and seeing new places, but only with friends or when I have a specific objective in mind. I dislike mindless wandering on my own (though, again, if I'm with a friend or two, it's a blast).

And you're over there cos your job was trying to stab you?

I'm here because I was having stressed related problems that caused me intense headaches and physical discomfort. My doctor told me it was imperative I took a year. My heart was starting to show strains and he feared that, at 28, I would get a stroke.

My mother decided that it was prudent, for a few other reasons, to send me out of the country. I'm on paid sick-leave, I can't complain though.:D

So the govenrmenty thingy you work for pays you or a whole year? And you can do what you like?

Pretty much because the job I do is very specific. They were a bit irked that I had to leave, but it was for medical reasons. I will be re-installed in my position at the end of the year. It's cool, I am paid although I'm not there (of course, I'm spending too much time at the Spanish consulate here), and I retain all my benefits.

hey I get over here too. I just qualified for 3 months of food stamps. A nice way to finish out my last 3 months of school

They must really like you then. What do you mean benifits? Like the NHS?

Like me? Who knows. But my job is too specific, I run an entire department by myself and the area of expertise is very difficult to fill. Not that I am irreplacable, I know I am.

And yes, I retain both my NHS and my private insurance, plus my pay and my security clearance.

Are you still drinking that bong water, Greedy?:D

If I'm ever in Texas, you better invite for some tequila shots.

How do they mannage without you though? If your job is specific?

Web-conferences and extremely long calls. *nod*

What brings you satisfaction? Stalking?!

Are? Nan desu ka?

There are like 10 different engish translations of "ka", all of wich change the meaning of your sentence greatly.

Does every thread have to end up with someone making sexual advances at Nanatsu?

There are like 10 different engish translations of "ka", all of wich change the meaning of your sentence greatly.

Are?- Huh?
Nan desu ka?- What?

'Ka' is a particle in Japanese that is placed at the end of the sentence to state that this is a question.

Does every thread have to end up with someone making sexual advances at Nanatsu?

It's the cross I carry.:(

I prefer the term Voyeurism.

If I am assuming your meeting someone else your meeting, I think technically I didn't make advances at you.

finish this crazy semester so i can have nice and easy semesters.

I know you did not, it's ok. But yes, sometimes my threads end with posters making sexual advances at me.

Do you do anything manual like playing an instrument or drawing?

I only did that one time and I was really drunk.

I know, it can mean "question mark".


So yu're asking me what I said? I said- "Shut up you asshole."

Do you do anything manual like playing an instrument or drawing?

Boxing.
Fitness instructor.

I only did that one time and I was really drunk.

Aren't you always?:tongue:

Nah, I kidd.

Last few weeks not so much. Senior thesis has been killing me.

I like this saying way better than just calling someone an asshole.

"Baka mo ichi-gei.":wink:

So what's your excuse for that time with Fris?

Last few weeks not so much. Senior thesis has been killing me.

Yeah, I know the feeling. When I was on my final year, and working with my senior thesis, I was going out of my mind.

Yeah, I know the feeling. When I was on my final year, and working with my senior thesis, I was going out of my mind.

Also didn't help that i took 4 upper level history courses this semester.

who did I hit on now ???

What are you majoring in?

I like this saying way better than just calling someone an asshole.

"Baka mo ichi-gei.":wink:

Every fool has one talent?

History.
But four upper level history courses. Means I will have at least 24 books to read this semesters not counting what i have to read for research.

Then I wish you luck. I have been there and I know it's stressful.

wlel if i keep it up i will have a 4.0 this semester

Hai, so desu.

"Yeah, before..."


I don't think desu is supposed to go at the end of a sentence

I thought you couldn't speak any foreign languages?

I can't. Japanese is my favorite, I can't pronounce words well but I know what they mean. It's much easier than french or spanish. Though I ain't great. Well I'm quite poor tbh.

I thought you couldn't speak any foreign languages?

Oh, and that's quite often used. I heard it in an anime once.

"Yeah, before..."


I don't think desu is supposed to go at the end of a sentence

That meat, "Yes, so it is..." And you could end the sentence with ''desu'' alone, 'desu yo' or ''desu ne'.

wlel if i keep it up i will have a 4.0 this semester

Ah, you're quite bright. I graduated with a 3.80 GPA. Magna Cum Laude.

Ah, you're quite bright. I graduated with a 3.80 GPA. Magna Cum Laude.

I had two bad semesters, mainly because I had to deal with crack dealers living next door with my Ex. So my cumulative GPA is not a 4.0 sadly.

You're of Asian ascendency? Cool. From which part in Asia? Or are you Korean?

That meat, "Yes, so it is..." And you could end the sentence with ''desu'' alone, 'desu yo' or ''desu ne'.

I thought that the informal "da" was supposed to go at the end. I thought you weren't supposed to use that perticular predicate at the end of a sentence.

You're of Asian ascendency? Cool. From which part in Asia? Or are you Korean?

not literally. Just lived in Korea so long their mentality rubbed off on me.

Oh, no it's desu that can only be used at the end, my bad.

I thought that the informal "da" was supposed to go at the end. I thought you weren't supposed to use that perticular predicate at the end of a sentence.

Yes, you can use desu. It is accepted. Da is more of, how shall I put it, a definte term. The Japanese do not like to be definite when speaking.

Oh, no it's desu that can only be used at the end, my bad.

No problem. But 'da' can be used too.

Sushi wa daisuki da- I like *sushi* (is a good example).

not literally. Just lived in Korea so long their mentality rubbed off on me.

I see. Then from which part of Asia your parents hail from? (if I'm understanding this correctly)

Yes, you can use desu. It is accepted. Da is more of, how shall I put it, a definte term. The Japanese do not like to be definite when speaking.
Kouteiteki.
No problem. But 'da' can be used too.

Nah, I meant it can only be used at the end of a sentence, not it is the only thing you can use.

not at all. mom is Irish dad is Scots. Just lived there for a few years when i was in the army.

The first mouthful of vanilla coke.. Finishing a philosophy essay.. Finishing packing a bag for a big trip.. Scoring a century.. Buying a mint t shirt.. Yeah, those kinds of things bring a fair bit of satisfaction.

not at all. mom is Irish dad is Scots. Just lived there for a few years when i was in the army.

Ah, got it.

not at all. mom is Irish dad is Scots. Just lived there for a few years when i was in the army.

You've moved around allot.

Kouteiteki.

A "hai" or "so" would suffice, Kentian-kun.
:wink:

A "hai" or "so" would suffice, Kentian-kun.

Sorry Rukia-chan. I dunno why I didn't say hai.

You've moved around allot.
I remember when i was in elementary school I had moved twice for every year I had lived. I just feel comfortable in a nomadic life style.

not at all. mom is Irish dad is Scots. Just lived there for a few years when i was in the army.

Are they actually Irish and Scots, or were their great-great-great-grandparents Irish and Scottish?

You can visit right ?Come on over!!! I got a living room with a fold out couch. And my best friend Stephanie works at the biker bar in town. honestly couldn't see finding things for you to do for more then a weekend where I am at.

You wouldn't like all the noise.

Indeed. I'm sure the police would get involved and all. *nod*

Not again. *sigh*

1. The squeak of a trapped mouse.
2. A second latte.

As some of you may know, I am currently out of Spain on sick leave. So, I'm supposed to be resting and not getting into too much. Wrong! I seem to always be on the move, even when I'm not supposed to.

To the point, which needs a bit of background. I've been, all day, caressing and taking a look, also restoring, a couple of antiques, inckluding handling slabs of unprocessed Thessos and Carrara marbles. Gorgeous! But the cherry topping to my restoration sundae was a a set of antique chairs, mahogany and leather sittings with etched seals, that I was, virtually, making love to with reviver polisher. I took me half the morning doing this and, when I finished my lovemaking session, the chairs' aspect gave me intense satisfaction.

Now, to the question at hand: NSG, what things do you do that bring you intense satisfaction?

Off the top of my head, I like walking a lot, listening to music, reading manga, and surfing the net. Besides the obvious, of course.

I think we got something in common. I enjoy walking, especially walking along the shore either early in the morning or late afternoon, and if the days are a bit cold.

Are they actually Irish and Scots, or were their great-great-great-grandparents Irish and Scottish?

On my mom's side a bit of both. They are Irish travelers. They came circa 1860.

As for my dad's side my uncle (oldest male in family) supposedly has a strong case for recouping peerage if he were to become a UK citizen. Considering he got chased out for "being rude and obnoxious to Lord Oliver Cromwell"

Though technically before being Scots we were vikings. Who just showed up in Scotland claimed some land and peasants and never left.

He was kidding.:wink:

I just love the peppermint spray of the ocean, and the antediluvian quiet of the depths, the way precum burns its fiery salt on my tongue and the butterfly kisses of my lover's lashes on my porcelain belly.

*gags*

I'm here because I was having stressed related problems that caused me intense headaches and physical discomfort. My doctor told me it was imperative I took a year. My heart was starting to show strains and he feared that, at 28, I would get a stroke.

My mother decided that it was prudent, for a few other reasons, to send me out of the country. I'm on paid sick-leave, I can't complain though.:D




Imma nominate you for All-Star Mod of the Year, Kryo-sama.:D

Well then it's a great thing that you got out when you did. I always wonder what the strains of my job will do to me. I know it takes a toll on my personal life, but I've done other things to damage that. I just wonder what working no less than 60 hours a week forever does to you. Especially when you have a boss that is perfection driven. Not really really good driven, but it needs to be perfect.

I can't get no satisfaction lately.

:rolleyes:

Come on now, I'm gagging on the love shaft of my one true man, mock me not!

If it takes a physical toll on you, you need to step back and reevaluate. I was forced to. I was so ill, my headaches were so horrible I had to walk away. There was no choice. I was doing 18 hour days on most weeks, and sometimes all nighters and weekends. No matter how much you get paid, if there's no quality of life, if your job prevents you from enjoying life with those you cherish, then there's a problem, a serious one.

Does every thread have to end up with someone making sexual advances at Nanatsu?

the simple answer is yes. Now for 2+2?

Come on now, I'm gagging on the love shaft of my one true man, mock me not!

Woman, stop torturing me! I want a love shaft and I don't have one.:(

Well, not physical really as of yet. My wife and I both work terribly long hours but we do it at different times. My job includes long hours on weekends and she usually gets the weekend off. She does work over the weekend as well, but tries to avoid it if possible. We are both driven and motivated to rise up in our business structures. The crazy thing is that the more money we make the more the government takes. I know those who have much should be willing to part with their fair share, but most of those people don't live in the NY Metro. Someone making what we make in most other areas of this country would be living in a huge house with flowing land. Us? Not so much. I guess our goal is to get so far ahead of our careers that we can transfer anywhere we want and have both sides of life. As of right now I am an insomniac on days I work and want to sleep in till the last bit on days I don't.

Woman, stop torturing me! I want a love shaft and I don't have one.:(

How does one who doesn't believe in love get a love shaft? Maybe you're looking for a like you very much shaft :-) jk, even KI am disturbed at this line of banter.

I get satisfaction from having my bedroom clean, babies' smiles, and days that my handwriting is decent. (Is that cheesy?)

Same, but it's not all that speial to me anymore cos I live on the top of a cliff, so I can just look out of my window.

TG.

Now, to the question at hand: NSG, what things do you do that bring you intense satisfaction?

Watch the blackbird's nest in my hedge.
They ended up rearing (do you call it that, with birds) 3 young last year (one didn't quite make it out of the egg (http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7927/rippietsippie.jpg)), and I'm keen to watch their progress this year again.
Three days ago:

Have to see if I can catch her off the nest today, I expect the eggs to hatch any day now.

Je, no sé lo que quiero ni lo que necesito. :$

Me parece que sería buena idea el tomar unas verdaderas vacaciones de todo ésto. Agur.

maybe this need is a problem. Perhaps you should become a nun.
I will have my contacts in the catholic church seize you and speed you off to your new life as a nun shortly.

My Keeper wouldn't like that.

Why do you call him your Keeper, JOOI?

Because that's who he is to me, my Keeper.

What does he keep you from?

I can't answer that, RoI. Sorry.

Okay, Rukia-chama.

Daijobou.:wink:

What does he keep you from?

Greed and Death, mostly.

Greed and Death, mostly.

That's true. *nod*:D

I just got satisfaction from hitting a target from a moderately far distance away with iron sights. I also get satisfaction when I level up my D&D character or get her a new magic item that I had my eye on for awhile. I also get satisfaction when I pay off a debt, particularly when I pay one off in full.

I also get satisfaction when I clean my aquarium and complete yet another improvement project at my cabin.

Wait you would be chasing me if you were single? :eek::eek::eek:

I am already spoken for!!1
*HIDES*

My Keeper wouldn't like that.

He can become a Monk provided its on the other side of the world.

Nicaragua, Honduras or Dominican Republic? I only ask because of curiosity.

However, my joys: Fighting, Reading, Music, Smoking [Though I do plan of quitting. :'(]

Well my number one thing is sex. If it can't be sex, ummm in terms of intense, that would be blowing shit up in Resistance the Fall of Man. After that, the fact that I just finished all the tests I had that day.

My lips are sealed.

My lips are sealed.

Sealed within a convent perhaps.

Writing poetry and stories, reading novels, video games, listening to music, pondering the odd questions of the universe, and helping others.

I think I'm going on a roadtrip to Texas, to strangle a Texan. <_<

LoL do come visit. your quirky behavior would brighten a stressful semester I have had.
Bring your keeper if you can I am int rested to meet him too, and I promise not to let out the secret of who he is. :p

Loud music and masturbation. Sometimes both.

Loud and yet musical masturbation? :hail:

Loud and yet musical masturbation? :hail:

Hmm... I like this line of thinking.

Hmm. A (very) incomplete list:

- Writing, both poetry and prose (I admit that I am not a good writer by any standard, but I enjoy it.])
- Intellectual discussion and debate
- Getting a kill with self-detonation in Gears of War 2, especially if it's in Guardian and I manage to get the enemy's leader.
- Finally turning in a term paper and not having to worry about it anymore.
- Learning how to do something interesting, difficult, and/or useful in Linux.
- Archery (though I have not shot my bow in a long time; alas, I have had no space to shoot it since I started college)
- A perfectly executed kata.
- A good book.
- When a risky or unconventional Diplomacy move pays off for me. (I only fairly recently started playing, and I'm about to finish my first game with a win as England. :D)

Loud and yet musical masturbation? :hail:

I need extensive tuning first.

what you keeping?

I have two tanks. One is a 120 gallon heavily planted tank with 5 angelfish and two chinese catfish. The other is a 55 gallon tank with driftwood and petrified wood. My small tank mostly houses catfishes but there are a few tetras and a betta. Many of the fish in the small tank were unwanted by their owners and are rescue fish.

Sleeping brings me intense and pleasurable satisfaction.

Waking up ain't so good though, (but then again it depends who you wake up next to)

Hmm, interesting. Very few people I know enjoy walking.

Music always soothes the savage beast that I am. I listen to my music collection a lot, also I'm quite an avid collector of cd's.

Iced weasel vomit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak) coffee (oh Vietnam, how I love thee). This gives me great satisfaction. Fried bread with an egg easy-over, half a link of moose sausage (thank you mommy!) cut up, fried, and piled on top of the egg. Coffee is a vegetable, isn't it? Bob Marley is for summers, welcome back.

Mornings, beginnings, sunshine, wind, purpose.

Now, to the question at hand: NSG, what things do you do that bring you intense satisfaction?
Make real coffee and smoke roll-up cigarettes. Also gardening, if I'm back in York, which is always nice.

I want whatever it is you're smoking there.:eek2:

Now, to the question at hand: NSG, what things do you do that bring you intense satisfaction?
I wouldn't call it intense satisfaction, but it's satisfaction notheless: Playing Sims 2, chatting on IRC, and Posting on NSG and Civilization Fanatics' Forum. The bold gives me the most satisfaction.

Curry
Cheese
Wine
Learning new things (especially esoteric physics, philosophy or ancient history for which I have no practical use)
Doing a minute amount of work but somehow delivering something that really impresses
