I just make some really delicious chocolate chip cookies, and I'm eating them with a glass of milk. I'm really happy about it. 

 

You? 

[HuldraDancer]

Best I got at the moment is half and half  tea. Half lemonade half tea, weirdly delicious. Not as good as cookies though.

Getting everyone out alive -- not unscathed but alive -- in a very difficult mission in X-Com 2 makes me happy. Slightly spoiler-y picture goodness below, but nothing major.

Gotta say character customization in this game also makes me happy.


Fought this thing on that last mission. Eek. It even sounded like a reaper.

Cookies are also joy-inducing, heh.

Commiserating with my sister about my mother's terrible cooking. Snow. Reading that the prognosis is good and that the surgery shouldn't be too disfiguring. Wrestling and howling with my dogs.

Seeing people improve, and overcome difficulty maturely.

 

That's really it. Helping people solve problems is what I do for a living, and I honestly enjoy it more than most power fantasy RPGs.

My greatest source of joy is probably inflicting existential dread and misery on others. "Yes, it's all for nothing and you're alone in the universe. Have a nice day!" For some reason, I tend not to get the best teaching evaluations.

What makes me happy? Solitude. Being alone with nothing but something calming to look at in front of me, and the sounds of nature around me.

Stargazing. Especially outside of the city. Never gets boring.

 

Also music. And now some recommendations under the cut.

First an older Sia song, from before she went pop and became famous. The whole album is seriously my main stress reliever ever since it came out in 2010

 

And something different, Daughter. Their songs fall rather under the sad spectrum, but are good when you're having a bad day. Soothing, but in a different way.

I just finished the campaign, which feels pretty good. 

 

Though I'm not creative and use the soliders the game gives me:

This artwork of steampunk Poison Ivy makes me pretty happy.

Speaking of which, do you guys think this group could use an art thread, or would that be a little too much going on in such a quiet little corner of the forums?

You post that picture and then ask if we need an art thread? Put me down for one vote in the 'sure, why not' column.

Nice! I'm making steady progress (I think) in the campaign.

Just opened the Psionic Gate and am researching the Avatar corpse. What a mission that was.

Creating something and actually being satisfied with my work. I have a real problem with that second part and constantly tinker and tinker and tinker some more... In relation to that, coming up with some concept and seeing it through to completion. Having a bunch of unfinished projects sitting around, weighing on my mind until the creative juices feel like flowing, is not that great a feeling.

A cup of good coffee, a good book, sunlight on my face. Evening mist covering the streetlights while I walk the dogs.

How could I forget? Hearing my lover's voice. Skyping and playing MMOs with friends. H*ll, just having friends who don't mind my geekiness brings a smile to my face.

 

Blue hair makes me happy, definitely.

And this too, definitely. I will leave the blue hair to you though, I will just admire it.

Rune Factory is currently being the thing to brighten my day while being stuck in bed. Tides of Destiny in particular. Two boss battles that make me want to destroy everything I know and love aside, it's a super relaxing game. Perfect for when you're on the mend

 

 

I mean just look at that thing it's so adorable it'll make you get happy whether you want to or not.

[Serelir]

I predict blue hair in your future. 

 

Speaking of blue, the blue jays made me feel happy this morning. Toads make me smile, and finding mushrooms.

 

The baby squirrels sunning themselves on the tree outside my window.

• braised short ribs
• bacon

• creme brulee
• pappardelle
• mac and cheese
• fried chicken
• iced tea
• root beer

Actually, I was just kidding about the diet coke.  That stuff will kill you.

If we're going to talk about food-love, here's mine:

 

A fat tomato fresh from my garden, sun-warm.

A leaf of sorrel so sour it makes my mouth pucker.

A handful of juicy blackberries.

Fuzzy peaches from the Farmers Market, sweeter than sugar.

A blue ceramic bowl filled with Meyer lemons.

A potful of colorful vegetables: red and orange and yellow bell peppers, beech mushrooms, purple and orange carrots, deep green tatsoi, butternut squash and cubes of braised tofu, all waiting for a tangy sauce of ginger, lime, peanuts, chilis and coconut milk.

Playing in the snow and coming inside to a cup of deep, dark hot chocolate sprinkled with cardamom, cinnamon, chipotle and black pepper.

A crusty boule fresh from the oven, spangled with seeds.

A bottle of red wine shared with friends.

[Lady Artifice]

All the obnoxious customers have finally left, and im very happy about it.

[Lady Artifice]

As for food:

 

Ceviche tostaditas

Brachetto D'acqui (semi-sweet Italian bubbly wine) 

Warm sourdough bread with butter and lemon curd

Garlic and herb goat cheese with dry black truffle salami 

Prosciutto & arugula

Steak & arugula

Duchess de Borgogne sour red ale

Steak pho

Passionfruit anything 

Cherry Dr. Pepper

milk chocolate salted caramels

white peaches and nectarines

Takis: hot chili pepper & lime tortilla chips

[nightscrawl]

Hell, if we're going to talk about food... mashed potatoes and gravy is probably my favorite food on the planet. Grilled cheese sandwiches and any type of sandwich are also high up there, followed by any gooey dessert -- Ben & Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge is a current fav. Gooey food is the best, really.

Going to the doctors and finding out the reopen wound you have is actually getting more shallow and shouldn't need daily bandage changing in maybe less than a month. That was a huge relief to find out even if it still hurts a lot.
