I am happy today because I found the time and inspiration to participate in the TLKFAA contest, yay! I'll take a 3 pictures a year average, it's better than it's been :lol:
That's awesome CGW! Yaaaay fan arts!! :3
I am happy because today is Thursday which means tomorrow is Friday and thus the weekend is closer. xD What can I say? Some days I'll take the little things...
^ Totally understand :lol:
I'm happy today because.....I had this absolutely STUPID bizarre dream that I'm still all "LOLOLOL WUT?" over that seems to have really set the tone for the day. When you wake up dreaming that your workplace is overrun by Vegas/circus performers out for someone's wedding who feed their show animals sparkly chalk pellets so they poo glitter all over the office.......you're just destined to spend the rest day looking around you going "LOL" :lol:
I still have zero idea where the heck that came from. I get the wedding part cuz a coworker got engaged this past weekend, but the rest of it? NOT A CLUE.
I've been feeling really ill this past week but I feel loads better today. Yay! :D
I went to my very first anime/manga/Japan-convention today and it was great fun. I saw so many awesome cosplays :D Next time I go to one of these I need to have my own costume; it just seems so fun :lol:
I'm happy today because I got my bunny! Need to decide on a name.
I'm happy because starting this week, I'm actually able to start putting little monies aside for the odd vacation every now & then without putting it all on my card.
I'm generally happy because I will get a new car tomorrow and just started Torchlight 2 New Game +
Wow, new pets, new cars, those are some big things for everyone lately. Congrats!
April probably a new set of PC for me. =) so I have a lot of things in mind.Quote:

I am happy today because I woke up this morning and was healthy and it was not raining. Also my family is all well and I have great friends. :) Just feeling thankful overall this evening, life is good! Even when it's bad, the Earth is still beautiful and life is still good--and I love that about life. :3
...also, I got to practice putting someone in a sleeper-hold with my legs today for a self-defense class. xD Always fun.
^That's so lovely... though remind me not never to accept the invitation of a sleep-over at your place. Never want to get caught in one of those sleeper holds :p
I'm happy today because I made bonding progress with Bandit. He, or rather she (apparently after our vet visit today) came right up and jumped onto my lap to eat the pellets that I had for her. It was especially important because she had a very bad experience at the vet where I lost my grip and she leapt off the exam table and had a bad landing. I felt absolutely awful about it and cried after I got home, but having her come up to me like that so trusting later really made my day :)
That IS fantastic. Really fantastic. I was asking in the pets thread if she was socialized because the one rabbit I had as a pet as a child was bought from a breeder, too, but he was evil. I should have suspected something cause he was the last, only one left from the litter and full-grown already, but it was like mixing General Woundwort with the Monty Python rabbit, he'd get this crazed bunny glare, charge out of the hutch and attack whenever I went in to change the hay or food or anything, it was miserable. Eventually I gave him to a 4-H friend in the small animals club who overlapped with the rabbit club and bred/raised Dutch color rabbits like him, I couldn't do it anymore :-(Quote:

I'm interested because I feel like it would help my anxiety but if I pay for a class I want to feel like its handy stuff, I don't want to earn a belt. It could have been that particular college gym freebie, too, though.Quote:

Just dodged a second bullet, some stomach bug I avoided! *cheers*
I'm happy today because I've finally had a chance to just sit down now, and relax. It's been a very long and busy day. Engagement party tomorrow night so I spent much of the afternoon cleaning up outside and putting up fairy lights. I swear, if you've never swept leaves off of a paved area, you don't know how frustrating it is! They get stuck in every single little gap, crazy!
That's gotta be tough, rabbits can be difficult animals at times. Was your rabbit desexed? I know there's the whole "desex your pet it will make them better behaved" myth thing going around. But with rabbits, it can actually make a very significant difference in both their temperament and their litter box habits. Sorry to hear that he was like that though, can't have been fun for either of you. Trying to train rabbits out of those behaviours is tough too. I'm glad he found a good home though. My very first rabbit wasn't friendly. She wasn't mean, she just wasn't very tame, but that's what I get for buying from some random woman with a pile of baby rabbits in her backyard hutch :p Oh how I've come a long way since then, would never buy a rabbit from a situation like that now.Quote:

You couldn't really pick her up though, but the cage was in the living room in front of the TV, so I would sit down on the floor in front of her cage almost every single evening, with the cage open, and I could easily pet her, she would lick my fingers, lol, and my jeans ... she had an obsession with jeans ... wouldn't stop licking it o_O
Now, all these rabbits at Kenny's place, I'm not very interested in them.
Yeah, they are cute.
It stops there, lol.
Kenny can hold them pretty easy, but me? Nah.
They know Kenny much better then they know me, they aren't for petting and such, and I just don't feel like doing it eather.
I told him not to get the first 2, but he wouldn't listen, lol.
If he had listened, we wouldn't have had 10 in the end :o :lol:
It's a quiet day, it's the weekend, I've got the house to myself and the weather is really nice!
^That does sound nice. I always enjoyed having the house to myself ever now and then. And sunny weather is just the best, really hoping it's nice tomorrow so that I can sit out in the sun with Bandit for a bit.
I'm happy today because we opened all our cards today from our engagement party (yesterday) and we got some really nice ones and people were really generous with gifts etc. Melts your heart a bit.
:lol: Your rabbit sounds very sweet. Lots of licking! Rabbits can be pretty picky with people, and especially shy towards new people until they get to trust them. But I think that's likely the prey response in them.Quote:

But I think it's useful for sure, the place I go he has us attack each other and actually use the defense stuff in a combat situation. I threw him over my back once, for example. xD He also teaches us how to fall correctly with the least amount of injury, so that is useful.Quote:

Pretty much all we've practiced is how to get out of choke holds or what to do if the attacker has got you on the ground/comes up from behind and grabs you/etc. All-in-all I find it incredibly useful. But then again I have always wanted to do this (and would still love to take karate or some other more offense-based martial art, in fact, so that I can not only get them off of me but keep them away).
I would say maybe try a few places and see what you like! Most gyms will offer a trial period or free class, just do some shopping. At the very least you'll pick up lots of different tips and moves. :>
Also, I am happy today because it is Saturday and I get to doodle around a bit today in between running errands. Also, it means I only have to teach four more days next week before Spring Break is here!!!! :D And that means summer is getting closer!! And that means my Europe trip!! And hopefully some camping/mountain climbing! So excited! :D :D :D I'm telling you, life rocks. Sad things are happening now too, but I am choosing to focus on these things, yep yep. That's what I like about this thread, it reminds me that life is what you make it and what you choose to fill it with. <3
Unfortunatly, she died 4 years ago :( (I think it was 4 years ago, or 3).Quote:

I'm happy today because I actually got some things done. I've got so many projects running parallel to each other at the moment, but today I did some tiny progress on all except two, which feels good :lol:
I'm happy today because I had a good shift at work and I got to talk to Emilio on webcam today. Happy days. :D
I'm happy because i slept for 14 hours, drank cider, played tomb raider 2, messed around on my guitar and had a mind-numbingly lazyboring day :relax:
I'm happy today because one of the major presentations of this term is done. We didn't get particularly helpful critique on our poster and we've still got to finish the report, but I'm just so glad it's over xP
I'm happy because it's been a while since me and Utora chat on IM. great to see her again.
Oh, extremely happy on Sim City 5 a.k.a 2013. Excellent game except for Origin always online DRM crap.
That IS happy, I would take the report writing part of a project over the public speaking part any day D:Quote:

I'm glad you are feeling better CGW!
I am happy today because....
I will be off for two days in 5 hours and 40 minutes.
I am going to Chicago soon.
Umm....because...they have...cheese strudel muffins in the break room again. YES.
:o
I'm happy this evening because my dad and I were "Season Ticket Holders of the Game" at the Rampage game tonight. I got an autographed playoffs puck from last season and a voucher for a special edition pendent from Americus Diamond. :D You usually have to request it from your ticket representative, but the lady in charge of season ticket events stopped me randomly while I was walking to my seat and asked if we wanted to have it this game. So awesome. We're going to pick up the pendent tomorrow.
Sounds like the best day ever! I am happy because my day was incredibly similar to yours! Took a long nap to recover from a long week and late night and spent most of my day drawing in between going to see the Hobbit with my Dad. ^^ Now I'm off to bed so I can wake up and eat breakfast sooner, yay!!! :DQuote:

After 9 months of purgatory without a car, I'm finally getting this from a friend for hardly nothing!
2002 Audi A4
:o
I'm happy today because I finished more art. Though my hand is getting sore, it's nice to achieve something that I used to enjoy so much. Now, if only I'd spent all that time on getting the kitchen tidy :hmm:
I'm happy because I cleaned my bedroom and it's actually habitable again. :lol:
But time spent on art is never wasted, Azzy :lol:
I'm happy because my new computer is so far running smoothly, aside from the fact that Windows 8 is pretty rubbish.
I'm happy today because I just finished work for 2 days! Yay! :D
I'm happy today because I actually had a really productive day at work. I've been struggling lately because I've been constantly playing catch-up since the end of january, so it was nice to take a healthy chunk out of that. Hoping to keep it up so I can actually get on top of everything for when the Auditor comes.
Otherwise, just been a nice day, let Bandit out on the lawn for a few hours, I think it's only the second or third time he's been on there because it's just been too hot to have him outside and I've been bringing him into the laundry every day.
I confirmed plans to meet Lweek in Lodon.
The weather is finally amazing here.
I managed to actually paint my nails nicely without looking like I did them drunk.
-_-
I'm happy today because I finally got a new power cord for my laptop after my wonderful rabbit chewed through the first one :p I ended up buying in a retail store, but the one we got was on sale so it was only $3 more than the Dell brand one I originally ordered online (which it turned out they were out of stock of and I wouldn't get until mid-May!)
I'm happy my Baileys cheesecake turned out quite allright!
Let's get drunk *cheers*
I'm happy because I just came home from seeing Counting Crows again and Adam Duritz is STILL the most adorable thing on earth, even if he is much less bouncey now than he was the first time a "few" years ago, lol.
Im happy today because my work just anounced that we will reduce our workhours/day from 8 to 6 without wage reduction. yay!
