Being with all your friends and people who you love.

**hugs**

People trying to cheer you up and failing miserably which cheers you up anyway.

Eating a huge bar of chocolae and not feeling bad about it.

Playin really loud music.

Making other people smile.

Holding hands.

Popping bubble wrap (so satisfying!)

Little kids who want to tell you about stuff they like

Listening to grown up people talking about something they are really passionate about

When publishers send me free stuff at work

When you get really drunk and think you can do anything
