What makes life worth living?

[dungeoneer]

Well, there's a ranting thread and I've posted in that enough times, so in a futile attempt to look like something other than a miserable old scrote I thought I'd slap a thread up to balance out all that vitriol.

Let's hear about the nice things for a change. The simple little pleasures in life that make existence a bit more bearable?

I'll get the ball rolling: Clean, dry feet and a pair of clean socks. Nothing on earth like it. Sure, it's hardly the definition of comfort or luxury, but I always feel better for having them.

What about the rest of you?

[Ozzylator]

The hours between 4 and 6 in the morning, in your room. Playing Timesplitters, and the sky outside is vaguely blueish purple. You sit down in your yellow plastic swivel chair and realise that everything is good in the world.

[ratchet892]

Staring in the person you love eye's and getting that smile that fixes everything.

[Spoo]

Removing said socks at the end of the day as you get into bed!

[allfalldown]

At the moment for me it's that feeling I get when I'm writing or drawing and I suddenly get a great idea or something turns out exactly how I want it. Doesn't happen very often though.

[Haroshi]

Waking up thinking it's a school day when in fact it is a holiday or the weekend.
3 hour lie in :)

[Mat^]

The first time you talk to "her" in a while

<3

[TX_101]

Following in the sock vein, walking around the house without any socks on at the weekend is bliss.

...ooohhh ! Carpets ! :D

[Cheeky Prophet]

Fresh Millie's Cookies. Milk chocolate chip.

Or...the warmth of the sunlight through your sweater, after a long, cold winter.

[Roxsie]

Clean Sheets, clean shaved boyfriend
Stefan and his russian obsession "lets drink wodka like real russians da"

[Soapie]

Music.

So many beautiful flowers in the field.

The happy yelps of innocent youth.

[Taekwon-joe]

Laying on the grass at night in summer with a bunch of friends

I like this thread I already feel much happier.

[Sebas]

Lots of stuff.

Friendship. Music. Chocolate. Weekends. Summer. Changing from cold wet clothes into dry warm ones. And I could go on for a long time.

[Jimmeh]

To avoid the obvious talks of girlfriend I'll add one that's universal to everyone..

The smell of rain on the ground after it's been hot.

[mooatr]

The scene is this:
It's raining outside, and outside people are mumbling about how it's raining, and I am in a tent, in a comfy dry sleeping bag, in the knowledge that I have no obligations at all. Companions not necessary.

I have longed for that twice since the start of the year, and I have to wait until summer before GV06 (If you're in the know, you're in the know).

[Scrumpopolis]

When you can't sleep because it's too hot and you open the window and get a freezing cold breeze. I love it

[mooatr]

When you can't sleep because it's too hot and you open the window and get a freezing cold breeze. I love it
I'm pretty sure I would rather be asleep in the first place.

[Ozzylator]

You're sleeping, and your pillow is really warm. You turn it over. Cold pillow bliss.

[Sebas]

You're sleeping, and your pillow is really warm. You turn it over. Cold pillow bliss.

You turn over your pillow while you are asleep? :p

Warm bed on a cold winter morning. Paradise.

[allfalldown]

I'm pretty sure I would rather be asleep in the first place.I concur.

On a similar note, I like it when you wake up early, like 5-6am, and you instantly get up. Hasn't happened to me for ages though.

[Phishes]

Getting out of the shower and having a nice warm towel ^_^

Also, when you get a new phone or something, and you peel the clear plastic thing off the screen. It feels so good :D

Two things sex and pie!

[Liz]

Just sex. Life wouldnt be worth living without it. Sex sex sex sex sex till i die.

[Star]

Staring in the person you love eye's and getting that smile that fixes everything.
:)

waking up on a cold day to find out that you're room is lovely and cosy cause you left your radiator on.

Sitting with friends, everyone laughing and smiling.

Waking up at 4am, looking out the window and seeing the sky being a nice shade of baby blue and the stars still shining as the sun rises.

First hug in the morning. :)

[Sebas]

Just sex. Life wouldnt be worth living without it. Sex sex sex sex sex till i die.
...Say, where do you live? :D

The smell of freshly baked bread. Gotta love that.

[Haroshi]

Fun with fire. I'm such a pyromaniac :p

I was thinking of buying a zippo just so I could burn stuff :D

[Ozzylator]

You turn over your pillow while you are asleep? :p

Somnambulatory tendencies ftw.

[what?]

Fucking chain saws! there awesome! who couldn't like a chain saw i love chain saws! tee he hee.....
hail weebl :weebl:

[Cerberus]

Kingdom Hearts II

I gotta live to see its release :D

[dodo queen]

Looking up at the sky and seeing a really beautiful sunset. Better if you have someone to share it with :)

Staying out late on summer nights, where it is warm late into the evening.

Snuggling down into the covers of your bed and getting all warmed up.

Having a good time with friends.

The feeling you get when you see something that takes your breath away.

Those are the things i live for anyway :)

[what?]

well :weebl: lets see uhh waiting for the newest game in your favprite franchise to come out!

[renatzu]

Yesterday I took the SAT, a standardized test which has monopolized my every thought for weeks. The test finished around 12:30, and I walked outside to 70 degree weather, the warmest we've had all year.

For me, this basically means my freedom; I have very few responsobiliities for the next few months. So a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders, the spring day beckoned, and I felt great.

[funkin_dudette]

Proper hugs :) You know the ones. When you're completely smothered by the other person ^_^

Lying on the grass in the park on a sunny day with lots of friends and lots of food. Mainly dorritos and dips :)

Watching Futurama or Never mind the buzzcocks with my brother.

Running about the yoof centre with my cousin having a battle with gloves in between throwing a frisbee. Yes.

[Haroshi]

Finding something that is genuenly funny, and matches my sense of humour exactally

e.g. Family guy, or this (http://www.adamchance.com/funny.htm)
Had me in histerics which is very rare indeed.

[queenofself]

right now lying in bed with my laptop & the rain sounding on the window above my head knowing that i have absolutely nothing to do this afternoon.

[what?]

what is up with you people and hugs!?!?!?!

[allfalldown]

what is up with you people and hugs!?!?!?!What is it with you and exclamation marks?

I suggest you go to the Beginners section until you calm down.

[Haroshi]

yeah, everyone needs a hug once and a while ^_^

[CoX]

Holding hands as you walk with someone special through a quiet area. You emerge from the shade of a giant tree and the light hits your eyes, blasting you with heat. Perfection.

That or just having a laugh with mates, not worrying about anything in particular.

[Magpie]

Real Showers.

When you've lathered and rinsed and lathered and rinsed both hair and skin many time over. You step out and every single inch of your body is stinging just slightly, but you know that you are well and truly clean.

<3 <3 <3

Simple things and all that jazz...

[steffie]

i love putting on clothes, or specifically, my underwear, when they have come straight out of the tumble dryer.

[LemonadePudding]

My little sister. I speant so much time looking for my mum and when I found her, after nearly 5 years of searching, I find I have the best little sister available. Bonus. She makes me carry on, she's the funniest person ever.

Also less soppy, is when you really get into the music you're listening to. Like when you're connected to it. I dunno, that sounds stupid.

[funkin_dudette]

When My brother come home from uni fro the holidays. ^_^ Thats right, I miss the stinking lump that is my eldest brother.

[2-D]

the sound of rain on your window as you are tucked up in a warm bed after just being out in the rain

[shinytheelf]

Dry, clean clothes after a long, hot shower, after stepping in from the rain...

Crusty white bread and golden yellow, soft butter when you really fancy it...

Compliments from people I thought hated me...

Hugs from Alex (my g/f)...

Life is sweet...

[Hydralisk]

Fresh Millie's Cookies. Milk chocolate chip.


Holy shit You took the words straight outta my mouth.

Hugs are better though :p oh and Late-night, high altitude camping with your mates, ranting, raving, contemplating, and solving the problems of the world in one night whilst under the stars.

[Darkscull]

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favourite things... *cough* not really.

what makes life worth living?

Roxsie (real life g/f + forum buddy)

the day when the clocks go back an hour, and you wake up and realise you have an extra hour in bed.

going out in summer thunderstorms, feeling the pressure changes and reveling in the fact that there's no one else out to celebrate nature in all its glory.

stuff like that.

[crazyMLC]

my computer and actual life.

jHoly shit it's spawn weebl where did you get the avatar?

[Mætlöaff]

To quote the honorable DJ Assault:
Ass.
Titties.
Ass n' titties.
Ass ass ass ass ass n' titties.

I would have to say that what makes my world tick is the fact that I'm now in a really spiffy charter school that lets me do the projects I want to do, and learn the things that I want to learn. That, and the internet. Can't leave home without it.

[Darkscull]

what?: go to beginners and read all the FAQs and such... then use some common sense and think about where you got your avatar from.

[Veerz]

Hugs n kisses, going for a walk in the snow at winter, having good friends around you, fresh squeezed orange juice, grapes dipped in melted chocolate, lemon scented candles, head massages!

[ratchet892]

Having "her" lie next to you, hand on your chst, you comfort "her" and realise how lucky you are...

[Haroshi]

Realising that life is just a game and to not get so worried about little things.

"You want a spliff"
"....yeah, why not"

[argh]

Hanging out with friends in the summer (late spring and early fall included) downtown where you can just and talk for hours and never have to move, just moving along when you feel like it for a change in scenery.

Hugging a new born puppy!

[Fritz Zanzibar]

Hot bath in the morning :D

[Thomp]

-Watching the Sunset in the Summer in a peaceful place of your own
-Knowing that, even though they don't show it often, your friends care for you
-Knowing you made a difference to someone everyday, even if you just smile at them

[Haroshi]

Sharing nostalgic memories of 'Golden axe' with my friend,
and remembering how good the dwarf was compared to
the other characters. :D

[Veerz]

Hugging a new born puppy!

You are my new god.

[TX_101]

Sharing nostalgic memories of 'Golden axe' with my friend,

Haroshi, I love you.

You just brought back memories of me being around a friends house, with us playing Golden Axe and Streets of Rage on Cooperative until our eyes practically bled.

Oh, and I must spread some rep, apparently :)

[Piedude-KT]

My girlfriend <3

So seconded :D

I think there's a lot of things that make me happy, when I put my mind to it.

[Piedude-KT]

11PM with just my lava lamp and Lemon jelly.ky
When you listen to music and just find yourself smiling

[Ozzylator]

Doing pretty much anything while listening to Don't Stop Me Now - Queen.

[Darkscull]

singing along to bohemian rhapsody, or some other such song, in a crowd of people. when everyone gets into the music and the whole group acts like one...
like standing room at a particularly good rock concert

like when i went to see muse, that was good.

a small group of friends all air-guitaring and singing along to stairway to heaven.

[Piedude-KT]

A really, really, really, really good comedy which keeps you laughing all the way through ie. Anchorman, Team America

Film Night at a mates, sheer class

Saturdays in general

This thread is so happy, keep it up!

[Haroshi]

Completing A flash you've been working on for months, and uploading it to newgrouds

(new one coming next week, yesssss...)

[Ozzylator]

There was one time a few days ago. We were in RS, and some guy started singing Tribute by Tenacious D. Everyone joined in, and the teacher didn't care.

That was awesome.

[Haroshi]

Setting light to a chav

(plastic clothing whhooooosh!!!)

[HappyJack]

newness, new experiences

[Sebas]

This thread.

I love it, rated 5.

[monkey magic]

Doing pretty much anything while listening to Don't Stop Me Now - Queen.
Seconded!

This thread makes me look forward to life.

Oh, my own?

The feeling I have now, because I'm very very excited about leeds fest tickets going on sale TOMORROW!

Very, very excited. And that's only about the ticket.

[Fish Finger]

Seconded!

Thirded.

[Haroshi]

getting things in the post a week before the're released :p

[Roxsie]

Knowing that my social calender ias booked for the next week and that i'll be going on a girls night out this thurs with my friend whose boyfriend recently broke up with her. Yet she'll have fun and 60's Music all night.

Strangely enough songs by the cure and siusters of mercy - the really depressing songs - makes me glad it's not me.


DARKSCULL DARKSCULL DARKSCULL (happy now :p)

[Haroshi]

Making 118 piss jokes about a guy in my maths class who said he'd love to get
revenge by pissing on someones doorstep,

(but when he said it the class went silent and all they heard was "I'd love to piss on someone)

[dungeoneer]

The smell of baked spuds as they come out of the oven. Not the microwave. The oven.

[Bacon Machine]

Probably the most enjoyable feeling is when you know you have to do something but you are dreading it and then it being called off.

Also you get a similar feeling when you are in bed and you have to do a job of some sort and are just sitting there so relaxed but trying to convince yourself to go when you find out you don't have to do it.

Also saying the word 'Bonzer' makes my day.

[Jimmeh]

Waking up on a sunday and thinking it's monday, only to remember it's sunday and going back to sleep!

[dodo queen]

Listening to music that reminds you of someone special, or a special time.

Adrenaline rushes when your just about to do something really exciting ^^ (Call me sad but i always get one before i go scuba diving :p)

Seeing your friends smile when you introduce them to something new, knowing they are enjoying themselves.

Knowing how lucky you are to have such great people around you when you need them. :)

[SquallLeonheart]

A long walk through a forest while it is raining with nothing but your thoughts, and ipod and the feeling that no one that has ever upset you can find you even if they wanted to.

Makes you feel better for a bit

[cutmanmike]

Video games, Girlfriend.

[steffie]

i love it when someone throws you an insult, then you think of a really good comeback straight away and they go away looking like a complete prat. example from this afternoon:

gobby chav girl: "people with legs as fat as you shouldn't wear skirts that short!"
me: "people with faces as ugly as yours shouldn't leave the house without a paper bag over their heads, so what's your excuse?"

all her friends laughed at her so she just swore a little and stomped off. incidentally, my skirt was only just above my knee, hardly a mini-skirt.

probably isn't the point of the thread but i'm feeling quite proud of myself

[splodge]

Lasagna.....in the whole, apart from school Lasagna, 'cos it has peas in it, PEAS.
Sitting down and chilling with friends, in a dark candle lit room, with slow acoustic music. TIs realy nice and relaxing. Sitting on grass on a sunny day or at a sunset with friends/girlfriend.
Realising that Francophobia means fear of the french.
Music.

there are more, i will come back later, im liking this thread...+age.

[Martinus]

That moment in life where you realise in the scale of the universe you're simultaeniously, utterly insignificant and utterly unique.

It's quite breathtaking.

[Digga]

doing a big poo. Nothing is as satisfying in life as doing a big poo.

You know i'm right.

[MONKEY050]

Having real friends.

[Demonbreath]

What makes life worth living?
Knowing that you are doing everything you possibly can while you are still alive.....
No.....that does not mean go off track and do some wierd and crazy things but live life like you have always wanted too.....

[Phoen!X]

No.....that does not mean go off track and do some wierd and crazy things but live life like you have always wanted too.....

For me, that involves going off track and doing some wierd and crazy things :p

[Demonbreath]

For me, that involves going off track and doing some wierd and crazy things :p
I know what you mean.... as in whats life without risks right ;)
but i was talking about the more severe cases of retardness :D

[steffie]

you mean darwin award style retardedness?

[PureEvilYak]

you mean darwin award style retardedness?

Darwin Award retardedness like drinnking liquid nitrogen?
(its in the book)

[queenofself]

handsome stranger eye contact

oh yes

[Ozzylator]

Watching a fireworks display in another country, preferably one with a common tongue different to your own. The same could go for any other celebration at night, I suppose, but it's most apparent with fireworks. Everyone is feeling the same as you, but you can't understand exactly what they're saying. You're part of the group, yet at the same time totally isolated by the language barrier. It's quite profound, but you have the best feeling inside of you.

[Haroshi]

Listening to such good music you get shivers up your spine........
only me then?

[Scrumpopolis]

Finding old photographs of you and your mates on holiday. Quite an immense feeling.

[splodge]

Listening to such good music you get shivers up your spine........

Too right!
Walking around with friends at night when nobody is about.

[Haroshi]

buying a £20 sephiroth action figure (or anything) spontaniously.

[Broche]

An attractive girl flirting with you when you've just about given up on love.


And beer.

[dungeoneer]

Learning something, just because you want to rather than because you have to as part of a curriculum or syllabus.

[DJ Nufonia]

Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

zOMG. Whenever you hear it, you feel good. ^_^

All the things you guys mentioned, too.

[Hoshi]

The feeling you get after you do an insane hike. Like when I climbed Ayers rock and just stood there at the top looking around me and just feeling so happy and satisfied. Everything looked so beautiful. I felt so accomplished.

it's feelings like that... and cheese... I always feel better with cheese.

[Stringy Pete]

After 7 months of hard work, coming one giant leap closer to fufilling one of your lifes ambitions :)

[Fade Away]

The person you love with your everything.

Creativity.

Individuality.

Aticipation.

Secrets.

Power.

Love.

[nickspoon]

Mass-murder of nihilists.

Doing something incredibly stupid for charity and/or fun.

10 hours straight play of Kingdom Hearts 2.

Waking up in the morning to find that the package you've been waiting for for days has just arrived.

[SquallLeonheart]

Death! the thought of it makes you live your life to the max. Unless you are very depressed at the time in which case you welcome it. swings both ways really. ;)

[Weebl22]

Knowing that you can comfort someone when no one else can.

I love this thread!

[RobW]

Venus by Television.

It's amazing how human beings can make songs this good. I have specific favourite seconds of it, and love to play it on guitar. Absolutely amazing song.

[DJ Nufonia]

Venus by Television.

It's amazing how human beings can make songs this good.

Another Star by Stevie Wonder, too.

I agree, how can humans make something as awe-inspiring and beautiful as this?

[SquallLeonheart]

There are too many songs that make you feel better to listen to them all but at the moment i seem to have fixations with the following:
1. Embrace - Gravity
2. Blur - Coffee and TV (that milk carton makes me laugh)
3. Sum 41 - Noots
4. Embrace - Looking as you are

Tho like i say there are loads more ;)

[steffie]

doing something spontaneous. last night i came back from a trip to london to see some people from uni. the trip was organised for wednesday and i didn't decide to go until about 10pm on tuesday! we went shopping in camden, but i didn't really know any of the people really well, so it was cool to get to know them as well. making new friends is always good. :D

[TX_101]

Talking to someone that you havn't had any contact with for a good 8-9 months, and hearing that they've been doing well for themselves. :)

[Darkscull]

the knowledge that in a month or two i will be free! i will no longer be in the normal school system (i kno 6th form is optional, but it's still the same sort of thing).
i'm clinging to the hope that university will be different.
but the holidays are worth the wait even if i go back to torture afterwards.

[Roxsie]

Darkscull!

Ben and Jerrys

[Dude]

And skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing.

Waking up after a night on the tiles with no hangover (never had one)

[junior]

The effect fear and adreniline have upon yourself. I love those moments. Under circumstances where one feels intense fear they experience an immense adrenaline rush, and then be able to accomplish something that they didn't know they could.

Adreniline is one of lifes natural and most powerful and wonderful drugs.

Girls are good too. Love love love.

[Preasure]

Waking up to a clear blue sky, thinking of the good things in your life and how, whichever way you look at it, you mean something to lots of people.

[dungeoneer]

Coding. And seeing the results work.

There's nothing quite like seeing that erratic box of circuitry on which we all depend obey one's orders and do as it's effing told for once. :)

[*Ooh Sparklies*]

Hugs from behind from my bf Drew. Most things he does I love :love:

Waking up in the morning next to him rocks too.

[TX_101]

Long, random walks at nighttime, all by myself in the dark.





...what ?

[Zackron Goldago]

i love putting on my underwear, when they have come straight out of the tumble dryer.
Quoted for truth.
Seeing my girlfriend ria who unfortunately lives in Alresford [a lovely place, but I live in London]
When everyone has left the house and I can just muck about and improvise on the piano really loud.
Listening to an amazing album the 4th or 5th time, when you are familiar with the lyrics but it still has little nuances you've yet to discover so it can still wow you.
Lunch with all of my friends.
The fact that I have to go back to Japan and Kenya some day.
Skiing.
Things that make me laugh.
Long walks-this is quite odd, but I get an immense sense of achievement when I complete a long walk/hike.
My French Grandma's house [I'm half french] in burgundy in the snow.
Cousins.
Thinking about something in a way you've never thought about it before. Philosophical discussions with my mates falls in to the same category, assuming they don't become too heated or happen too often when they get a bit tiring.
Good food.
My brother who has been my best friend for all of my life. Best. Person. Ever.
And finally I've yet to experience so much I want to do!

I could go on for a long time here so I think I should stop now, I may make more posts later if I've forogotten something major. If you bothered to read this post, thank you, it was really enjoyabole to write.

[Star]

Waking up in the morning next to him rocks too.

Quoted also for truth (not your boyfriend dear sparks my own :p )
He's just so cute :love:
Lying in bed with each other talking about the most random stuff then looking at each other and laughing. Listening to his heart beat.

If I could just have that once a day for the rest of my life, I'm sold :)

[Youlikeyams?]

Like a lot of other people have said, love makes life worth living. It makes you feel all special knowing that someone cares for you more than anything in the world - and it's a helluva feeling. For me, my girlfriend makes life worth living.

[Nuclear Spoon]

To quote The Princess Bride:
Life is pain. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something
edit:shinytheelf didn't see the funny side, evidently...

[junior]

Long walks-this is quite odd, but I get an immense sense of achievement when I complete a long walk/hike.

For me the finishing view is enough a reward. Thats pretty much the only reason I go climbing. Skye is the best for it in Britain for me. Or Arran.

[catinabox]

When I was a young, I used to believe that there was an afterlife, and that there was some higher purpose to life. Then I realised there wasn't and knew that absolutely everything is pointless beacause the future may not exist and you could die in a few seconds, and eventually everyone would die so everything is therefore pointless.
I still believe that, but now I know that the very present and the probable future are not - so you must try and get the most out of life as possible, and get as many experiences out of it as you can. Therefore, experiencing life itself is what makes life worth living. Even if your liife is bad, at least it's better than nothing. You only live once, so you should make the most of it.
[/philisophy]

[Zackron Goldago]

For me the finishing view is enough a reward. Thats pretty much the only reason I go climbing. Skye is the best for it in Britain for me. Or Arran.
I just spent a week in Madeira and went on numerous walks, I would highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys walks and views. From the peaks the views are fantastic and the landscape is just stunning generally. The terrain isn't particularly strenuous so if you are looking for a challenge look elsewhere.

[andreacrew]

women and work !! :D

[Waffles]

Memories.

I have so little to do but think now, what with life becoming a blur of alcohol, depression, and disappointing myself and everyone around me...

Just like in the absolute pinnacle of the movie American Beauty, after he's been shot and is reliving all the moments from his past... the car, his wife on the apartment roof, his childhood.

I remember sitting on my porch, smoking a cigarette with the woman i love, watching the ever-shifting sheet of rain falling just inches from my outstretched toes, the occasional droplet wetting my foot. So dark the only real illumination coming from the cherry of the Lucky Strike between my fingers, lighting the water, my hand, the crummy wood of the balcony... Not to sound too emo or melodramatic, but times like that make me wish i could just fade away, just evanesce into the past, slip into the memory and never return, all time passing by in the mere instant when the cigarette brightened as i inhaled, hearing the gentle crackle of the ember stretch out through centuries. or when i recieved my Eagle, Globe, and Anchor at the end of bootcamp to that haunting melody from Black Hawk Down (Leave No Man Behind, i believe it is called.) or the last time i saw my dog. or the last time i cut myself.

or the last time that i did something right.

yeah, memories and imminent demise are about all i have to look forward to.

so bring 'em on, i say. one right after the next, right after the first.

When my lovely boyfriend brings me a random bouquet of roses and a bar of chocolate - just for being me. (one of the few times he's not in the opposite thread):p

[queenofself]

night before last the boy did a treasure hunt thingy for me in his flat & the treasure was the full dvd box set of buffy that i had wanted for so so long.

[Fish Finger]

Ahh. Everything in this thread makes life worth living (but not other peoples boy/girlfriends :p)

[Roachy]

My loverly Andrea

The people in this forum (whoever you may be)

Good friend who even on a packed bus will still keep a seat for you :P
Knowing that you have something nice to come home to.

Getting to see my boyfriend (we live 40 miles apart so seeing each other remains once a week till holidays).

I love a good laugh with my friends. It's nice when it's a warm day then we can all go outside rather than stay indoors all day.

Climbing something that I consider a challenge as it is a sense of achievement

What a nice fuzzy warm thread. Think I'll post in here to balence out the million times I've posted in t'other one.

Saying doing or thinking exactly the same thing as someone you're really close to at the same thime as them. I love that freaky 'same wavelength' thing.

Scotland!! All the lovely lovely mountains and lochs and wildness and stuff. Love that place, can't get enough of it.

Ickle fwuffy animals. My new puppy and my very old smelly cat (and the two not so old dogs as well) - all make the house worth coming back to.

Going out for a nice long relaxing ride on the horse.

Massages and back scratches.

My Boyfriend.

Jim Carrey singing Somebody To Love.

[dansam]

After 2 hours of solid revision, listening to the best songs on my iPod. Makes me feel really happy. :)

This thread.

Trying to comfort someone when they're down and even if they're only a tiny bit happier, you feel good that you helped a friend. :)

Worrying about SATS and then doing them and they're really easy. :D

Ah, I feel much happier now. :)

Anything that contains ginger. I love the stuff. Local fancey-foods shop has crystallised ginger on special offer; two 500g bags for £4. Which is a lot of ginger. Sainsburys has brought out a new ginger beer that doesn't contain the sorts of additives that make your mouth taste like an ICI laboratory. And they also make cheap ginger nut biscuits. I love the stuff.

[queenofself]

on a day like this you should be outside drinking lashings of ginger beer.

that chocolate coated stem ginger is delightful.

The feeling you get when you finish a piece of coursework you've been working on for ages.

Also when you've just woken up on a bank holiday and can sleep all day instead of going to school.

Summer

i would say my girlfreind ( yes,i do have a girlfreind and STILL go on the forum all day) but that would be a little bit cheesyXD (dont tell her i said that :ssh: )

i love vanilla coke:) not a great fan of the normal stuff but vanilla really rocks my socks.

[ZOIDBERG]

My class at school. We're all friends.

And flying through the SATs. Can't believe they're over already :D

[funkin_dudette]

Finishing your drama practical exam and then dancing about the school hall with your drama teacher to Right said fred. :D

[woobi]

Getting home from a hard days work at school. Tired, roasting, exhausted. Only to find a 10 pack of twix's and a chocolate milkshake.

Bliss.

The first part of Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Storm. You know, that build up based around the same ostinato, that it's impossible to get bored of? 7 heavenly minutes of music.

The feeling you get when you finish a piece of coursework you've been working on for ages.

Amen... (Damn you music technology AS! ¬.¬)

Also, the feeling that no matter how far away your loved one may be, the moment when you realise that you're meant to be... and everything just... Clicks. You realise why you've been put on this Earth, you realise how beautiful life really is.. Everything makes sense.

<3 you Juni

Learning something new. If you learn one new thing the week hasn't been wasted.

[Angel@heart]

What makes life worth living??

The Challenge.

If it was as easy as it should be no one would try. I like trying and working to become a better person :)
I love my life because i have a positive view. It's easy for anyone to say "Life sucks" or "What's the point?". Just get on with it! :):):)

[eleanor]

Beauty.

[Jimmeh]

Beauty.

Nice to know I make your life worth living. :cool:

Jokes aside (and attempting to not be cliche by saying my girlfriend) one of the finer things in life is it being sunny when you wake up. Really learn to appreciate it in those mornings when you wake up actually awake for once!

[faragher]

Summer evenings:

A day on the beach in the sun. Swimming in the sea. The smell of ribs on the BBQ. The buzz of two quickly consumed beers. The knowledge that the night is just beginning.

[Ozzylator]

The Game. Brings a bit of spice to life.

(hahahahahahahaha @ existing players)

Spending time with friends. Especially frinds who have to come down from middlesborough or Norwich and do so to spend time with you.
