[ he types about 20 different intros and lead ups to this question but then figures — it speaks for itself, no? so here goes: ]

what makes you happy?

Comments

[aberth]

feeling introspective, cheng?

[ Of course he doesn't answer the question. It's Adam. ]

[aglonby]

cocaine
ehy hows cheng2

[aglonby]

drugs do not count my man don't you know that's not real happiness?

[illuminescent]

Oh so many things. My family and my friends, of course. A moment when you feel as though you're flying for your horse is so swift and the air so clean. A proper dance with a good melody. Sitting in a bower and eating fruit from the tree. Being barefoot all summer long.

And I think that a mere sampling.

[aglonby]

Just hearing about these is making me happy! It is good to think of how many of them there are, isn't there? Happy things, I mean.

[admemoriam]

my friends
and eating
and hugging
and when dogs forget to put their tongues back inside

[aglonby]

those are all part of mine too imagine if you could hug your friends and a dog with its tongue out at the same time. x3 combo happiness

[backinakidflash]

Friends. Family.
Winning a race. That moment when you know you did good and no one could've done better.

That last one makes life worth living and dying for.

[aglonby]

i like that last one very much. doing your best and really getting something out of it is a great feeling isn't it?

[heroforhobby]

My husband. :)

[ Dorian you fucking sap ]

[aglonby]

that is a good start for a long and happy marriage

[leonized]

Why are you asking?

[aglonby]

so people can remember some of the happy things they like! and share them too because it is nice to be listened to from time to time right?

[23wishes]

[aglonby]

[tactical_lalafel]

Good food and drink shared with friends.
A hard-fought victory.
Landing a really big pterodactyl out in the Sea of Clouds.

Getting into fights, sometimes, as long as they're GOOD fights.
