sorcyressOne of my goals for today (for my biiiiirthday!!!!) was to do things that make me feel actively happy. Actively satisfied, actively joyous.
This meant I was going to try and focus less on slugging around and reading reddit, because as much fun as I think it is, it doesn't actually make me feel anything, not really. And so I put together sort of a mini to-do list --suggestions of things that I thought might work out.
And then I did almost all of them and damn if today wasn't just the best day ever. I'm really pleased about everything right now! So, for future reference, here are some things I did today that make me feel pleased:
*I organized my room more. No one really likes cleaning, myself included, but there's something about straightening out the clutter in my space that makes me feel reeeeeally good. I should do it more often. :p
*I drew a picture!! I drew a REALLY GOOD picture!! I'm feeling exceptionally good about that one, especially since I got the first three or four pencil marks down and had this moment of "oh, this is a day where I'm not good at drawing" and I just...kept going and it worked out! (I think I was just out of practice and feeling shaky --had to get my hand back!)
*I danced with people! I got to do a bit of swing with Gravitrue, and a waltz with Austein. Glee! (I didn't do any dedicated dancing on my own, but that makes me feel really good too, for future reference).
*I incited hedonism!! This makes me feel exceptionally excited, since I really like positively manipulating people. Convincing people to eat ice cream definitely qualifies. And seriously! Like half the US states and about six countries, this is AWESOME! Today, ice cream was eaten in my honor on four continents!
*I spent time outside! Outside is a good place and it makes me happy, especially on a day like today where everything was cooperative and not deadly hot or freezing cold. There was also a bit of bicycling and walking, both of which feel nice and make me feel happy.
*I saw SO MANY PEOPLE! Seriously, I don't think I could adequately count them, but I probably saw like...forty friends over the course of the five hours I was hanging out in Davis square. It was soooo great! People ate ice cream and chatted with each other and sang and Kristen brought me a cake (!!!) and Anu3bis brought me butter-ginger cookies and I LOVE MY FRIENDS SO MUCH!!! I love all the people!!! *twirls!*
*I solved puzzles, a bit! Nothing major, but I got to look up languages (research!) and play my silly phone challenge. That was nice.
*I talked about BUGS! BUGS BUGS BUGS!!! Talking about bugs make me almost as happy as seeing bugs (I saw lots of bugs yesterday, so I had to tell Timmc about them. He was pleased!)
*I hung with a baby! Not for super long or anything, but that was cool.
*I listened to loud music and sung along! That was good!! I like singing and music and *glee!*
Whew! There might've been other things, but that's what I can think of right now.
What makes you happy, friends?

I'm really glad you had so many people celebrating! That's super cool.
