stupid little happy things

Post by tenar » Tue Dec 30, 2003 8:25 pm

hi. i'm trying to make a list of the stupid little things that make people smile (nothing si/ed/su related, please). just stuff that makes you happy to think about, that maybe you wouldn't think of as good otherwise.

here's my contribution

:) mixer taps (otherwise water is always way to hot or way to cold, mixter taps are soo cool)
:) frogs
:) lava lamps
:) punched holes (collect all the hole punchings in the bottom of your hole punch - i have a big box now, so fun)
:) new socks
:) hugsxx

* listening to the rain outside
* phoning someone
* laughter
* birds squabbling
* sitting very still on the bench and watching a rat come out very timidly and start eating the crumbs by my feet
* teaching someone something new
* learning something new
* postcards
