Just like the title says. I was reading through the Vent thread and wanted to balance things a little.

For me, getting a job on my birthday yesterday when I'd been redundant for 3 months with a mortgage.

Sitting in the Spring sunshine for 10 minutes without getting burned. Soon I'll have to crawl back in my cave but for now it's so nice to feel the sun on my face.

Starting the morning with my cat patting my face and purring.

Looking through all the downloads and being amazed at the talent and generosity of you people.

Finding a new book by a favourite author in the shop when I didn't know it was coming out.

Looking out the window and seeing the intense colour of the enormous gum tree contrasting with the bright blue sky, and knowing I'll have a Jacaranda tree flowering out there in November.

Driving in to the city with hardly any traffic on the road this week. The first day I wonderered if there was a public holiday and I hadn't noticed. I think it's just because the weather is perfect and nobody wants to go to work :)

What little random things make your day better?

When I can actually finish my assignments right before I write this post. It makes me very very happy.

Listening to The National, Bon Iver, or The Tallest Man On Earth
When I get the opportunity and thoughts to sit down and write for hours
Long emails or letters from friends
My cat
Large cups of tea
Hugs from my best friend
Wrapping myself in blankets and watching it rain outside whilst I'm toasty and comfortable inside
Buying a new pair of shoes which don't rub or give you blisters, even if you've never worn them before
Kisses on the cheek

Oh, what makes me happy? That's a wonderful question. Here's my answers:
• When I finished my projects and assignments from school.
• Making my parents proud.
• Dogs and Cats
• Listening Music
• Hugs & Kisses
• When I play The Sims 3 OF COURSE!
• When I capture a pretty picture.
• Discover new songs / guitar chords
• New things
• Gadgets
• Highscores
• Give important things to those people.
• Helping people

That's all. lol. :rofl:
