Good music is definitely always on my list of good things. ;)

As are good books, good films, etc etc. :star:

My puppy (my husband gave her to me for my birthday this last august, she's getting to be a big puppy these days) but anyway, the pure joy I feel in caring for her, playing with her, teaching her tricks and stuff is just one of the greatest feelings, she makes me feel great, all smiley and wiggly with her tail wagging when she sees me, I just love her so.

I get to go to a friend's house soon and show her Moulin Rouge (her first time watching it, my 12th) while petting her dog. That is going to be great. :D

And yes, I love those emoticons, by the way. :D

I'm happy because everything is calm and I don't have anything to worry about, and I took time to be good to me. And I'm happy because my partner has a half day at work, and will be home soon, so I can share my happy with her.

I'm taking a trip to the UK in June to meet some #BUS people. It makes me happy in a terrified kind of way; but yes. Is a very happy thing.
While the thought is appreciated, I often don't do well with hugs so unless I ask for them, hug alternatives such as flowers or rainbows (or anything else at all, really) would be preferred please and thank you. :)

I was really thrilled today to find an understanding friend who still treated me like a normal person after he knew!

After all the hobbies I've lost, I'm starting figure skating again.

Japan, Japanese, Japanese fashion etc seems to have obsessed me lately.. It makes me really happy that I'll be able to save up to shop there in the summer hols.

Science still makes me so, so exited.. More than anything. :)

Take care,
Annie.
