The little things
You know, I personally have a lot of pet peeves.. I'm generally rather annoyed much of the time... However, I've also got many things I just like to enjoy.
For instance, I was rather annoyed earlier, and just sat down and ate a PB&J Sandwich, I just kind of enjoyed it and it made me feel better.
Yesterday I was watching my friends argue over something silly (They weren't actually fighting, they just have a lot of playful arguments) and that also made me feel a little happier.
What are some of the little things that make the people in gitp feel a bit better or happier?Last edited by Setra; 2010-03-11 at 04:59 AM.

A warm summer night and having everything I have to do has been done. A glass of wine or port and just watching the stars.

Re: The little things
Well the other day I was in a grumpy mood, you see I am trying to quite smoking and I had gone 2 days without smoking so I was a little on edge. Anyway my roommate bought these 2 very hyperactive dogs that many times get on my nerves even more. They literally tear up everything, they have even dug holes in the walls. So here I am grumpy, the dogs are up to their old tricks and my patience that was hanging on by a nail finally gave up and just left the room. So I yelled at the dogs and started stomping after one of them to get after him for something he did. He ducked down dropped his ears and played the "im too cute to have done anything wrong" card. When I backed off and sat down on the couch to try to relax he came over put his paws up to my chest and after looking at me straight in the eyes, gave me this little lick on the cheak. Now this is nothing new as the dog is a very licky dog but just the way he looked at me and then just licked once...Well that raised my mood alot.

Re: The little things
Yeah, they are really good at that. A russian colleague I had always said that one should try to have a cat and a dog, as cats would absorb negative energy while dogs would spread positive one.
One silly random thing that made me happy was a simple 2 EUR coin. It always somehow bugged me how boring our Euros are. You know, nothing against the Federal Eagle, but when you see how interesting and varied other countries(e.g Italy, Finland and many others) made their Euros it really annoyed me.
So it really made my day when I finally found 2 Euros in my pocket with the picture of the St. Michaelis Church and learned that we are least doing a special coinage covering the federal states and their landmarks.
Yes, I'm easily amused

Re: The little things
Rubbish day at work, which would be bearable, but we've run out of tea-bags..
(This is serious, I actually think there might be a riot.) It just takes away that last little thing I had to get me through, Sounds like a relief shopping party is being organised, however, but that event falls into this category, definitely.

Re: The little things
The blessed silence when one walks into the local park and drops 5m below the lip of that valley, when the traffic noise from the encircling road is somehow muted; it's better for not wholly blocking the noise, but simply holding it at bay so one is always aware that the park is shielded.

Re: The little things
Seeing and hearing polite and respectful children. After working with troubled, emotionally disturbed or straight up juvenile delinquent children... hearing "please" and "thank you" mixed in with an occasional "sir" is very refreshing. Mind you, this only works if it's spontaneous... not forced.
I also feel very good when I am inspired to send my wife a spontaneous email or text for no reason other than to explain how awesome and wonderful she is. It's very refreshing to know that you are the cause of someone else's happiness...Unofficial Brew-Meister in the playground. Just ask!

Recognizing a song I heard alot when I was young
Having meowing conversations with my cat

When I'm studying and Oz'll leave his game to cuddle for a little bit.
How Roscoe (his parent's dog) will slyly come over to where you're sitting and just kinda sideways look at you like a puppy dog. It's adorable.
When Saffron (my hamster) climbs to the top of her cage and tries chewing the hell out of it.

Re: The little things
Realizing that I've managed to incorporate a foriegn word into my subconcious vocabulary. Usually either German or Japanese, since I took a German class for two years and I'd be an otaku if I could afford it.
If asked the question "how can I do this within this system?" answering with "use a different system" is never a helpful or appreciated answer.

The feel, look, sound, smell of a good book. Don't even have to be reading it either.

Re: The little things
Slids but I had a huge throbbing rage-on earlier at nothing at all, but I channeled it into a long intense run and got home feeling cloud nine. Running always makes me happy.
And you know what else? Today is the first day I've worn shorts outside since autumn. I love shorts. Who's with me? *raises hand for 5, looks around with a 8D*
Seconded, books are a sensual experience. Or as I prefer to call them, Information Fetish Objects.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2010-03-12 at 12:19 AM.

Re: The little things
The smell of the ground after a summer rain.
Lightning storms. There is no fireworks show in the world that can compare to a good lightning storm.
Having a rabbit cross my path. I used to have a couple of pet rabbits, and I've always found them to be fascinating animals.
The way things look after a snowstorm. Having not seen a good snowstorm since 2005, I've been pretty content to see them this year.The U.S. Army: the best job in the world, working with some of the best people in the world, for one of the worst employers you could possibly imagine.

roasted meat. I can hardly be angry at you, if you greet me with potatoes, steak and beer.
Two rules get you through life:
1. If it's stuck and it's not supposed to be, WD-40 it.
2. If it's not stuck and it's supposed to be, duct tape it

Re: The little things
I like shorts. They're fun and easy to wear!
Sorry, but that's one of my good 'little things' - nostalgia. Another is when I'm awake in bed at some demonic hour of the morning, wondering why I can't go back to sleep, and one of my dogs jumps up and lies with his snoot about 5cm (2") away from mine and just stares at me. It's somehow comforting.
Bad things: children who don't realise that "please go away" is as close to " *eff* off and die" as I get, and don't leave me alone when I ask politely. Most of the time I love kids, but when I want to be left alone even the nicest of them can be tiresome.
