Things that made you happy today!

[Pumpkin]

I am blessed to have wonderful people in my life :D

[sinuosity]

I got my med school entrance exam results, I did super well. Yay.

[Night Fury]

I bought 4 shirts, a new skirt, and lovely new jumper today!

Bought brand new the haul would have cost me about 80 easy, I got it all for 18. Charity shops man. :cool: Honestly think I'm gonna start buying most of my clothes in charity shops tbh, you can get some pretty gorgeous things.

[Pumpkin]

Finally finished the grinding I needed to do in Dungeon Travelers 2. I have a sexy bishop now

[starlet]

So today I had one of my regular clients, a goldendoodle named Hugo. Hugo has always been hell on wheels; he bites and fights for everything, including bathing and drying and I pretty much have to keep a muzzle on him at all times. Or, at least he used to be like that about a year ago before I started getting him on a regular basis. Actually he's always done better for me than anyone else. Today he was damn near perfect. I still had a muzzle on him for his legs and feet just to be safe (that's what he's the worst for) bug he barely put up a fight for that and he was just generally lovey and sweet and it was the best thing. I'm actually tearing up a bit over how good he was. I'm gonna try grooming him with no muzzle next time and see how he does. In short, successfully rehabbing a bad dog over time made me happy today.

[Night Fury]

Watching Pheesh fight to stay awake on facetime :lol:

Went to Nana's today and she's doing so much better this week. When I went yesterday with her shopping she had a great appetite and I noticed a few little things - like she's sitting up straight with her legs crossed. Probably means nothing to you guys but since she got out of hospital she's been slumped over and just not in a good way. The last couple of days, she's looked like Nana again. For a while, she's just looked like she was dying :(

Also, while my Nana was in the bath, me and my sister had a really lame yet totally awesome dance off in her front room to some classic noughties music and we let off some steam.

Watched Zootopia and really enjoyed it! Haven't watched a new movie for a while and I should have movie nights/days more often.

My dad dropped me a stack of Star Wars novels to sink my teeth into!

I cleared lots of new content in FFXIV with my Free Company and have been making new friends and stuff.

Pretty nice chilled Saturday :)

[Pheesh]

Watching Pheesh fight to stay awake on facetime :lol:

Nailed it.

[Bubba]

Pizza and drinks with the legend that is Psychotic. Dude is awesome.

[Karifean]

Left-wing Austrian presidential candidate won the (1v1) election with 50.3% of votes. Most suspenseful election I've ever seen. I could hardly believe my eyes when it was a 50-50 split sometime yesterday afternoon (when only a fraction of the votes were counted).

[Fynn]

30 degrees outside, no clouds, and an amazing cool breeze. It's the perfect weather and I feel amazing :D

ALSO GUYS!!! Just became an uncle! My sister-in-law gave birth today! :hyper:

[Night Fury]

Heading to the airport! :omgomg::omgomg::omgomg::omgomg::omgomg::omgomg::omgomg::omgomg::omgomg:

Ah yes the big Starlet/Mirage meet up! Happy for you guys :-)

Aside from other peoples romances,three things made me happy today:

1. The neighbour cat
2. The sleeping pill I took
3. Seeing someone post their own fanfiction in Timber Maniacs HQ

Nothing else, and no one else made me happy today.

[Pumpkin]

Things are finally settling again. The cat had some issues and then I was working on only a few hours of sleep every night because I was worried and then I had to keep an eye on him to make sure we didn't need to rush him back. But he seems mostly back to his old self which is a huge relief and I can get back to trying to enjoy life

[Midgar Mist]

My boyfriend sent me (a picture of) some flowers : 3

[Formalhaut]

I've had a pretty productive day today, so that's good!

[Pumpkin]

Had a nice, lazy long weekend. Felt good after the hectic week last week

[Night Fury]

Bank balance.

Getting my tax cheque sent out, and have some owed overtime from work which basically pushes me very close to my savings goal now :) So happy and proud of myself for doing this!

[Freya]

[Freya]

I forgot we had this smilie. It makes me happy.

[Pumpkin]

Had a great experience at church and looking forward to going again. If it keeps up, I may have found a place for my baptism!

[Galuf]

Yay the interview wasnt bad. i thought the interviewer would hate me but luckily i was fine. phew

[Freya]

Got a raise! Woot!

[Night Fury]

Getting all of my owed overtime in my next payslip.... It's gonna be sexy.

[Ayen]

Well, not all of these are specifically today, but.

10 new subscribers in the past month
YouTube partnership that allows me to monetize my videos
Matching rings
Still alive

It's been pretty good on my end.

[Værn]

I work an extra hour on Thursdays, which means I get an extra hour to deal with all of the crap that the morning crew is going to leave for me. I might actually be able to get my own job done tonight once I've finished doing theirs for them.

And I also finally got my tax return, so that's nice.

[Ayen]

Got a reply letter from Grandma ^_^

Awesome.

[Pumpkin]

I've lost 20 lbs since the beginning of the year!

[fat_moogle]

Next is you Fynn.

[SammieBabe]

My FB history page hit 10K likes today!!! :D:D:D:D:D

[Pumpkin]

Signed up for classes. Because of financial aid I have to take a full course load, which I didn't do last year because of my anxiety. But I do have medication now and I was fortunate enough to be able to arrange my schedule so that I only have 3 classes at the school, like last year, and the fourth one online. I also only have to go in 2 days a week like last year, and have a generous amount of time inbetween classes like last year as well. So having a lot be the same is helping me feel less anxious because I don't deal well with change. So it'll be harder, but things turned out alright considering! So far anyway. Two of my classes have TBD professors, so watch me end up with the worst ones ever xD

[Lyndis Highwind]

My brother came over last night and we played F-Zero and Mario Kart! So much fun. :)

[Night Fury]

Had some fun games with Pheesh on Overwatch but my God people are plain stupid sometimes in that game. I'm not the best player by a long long long shot, but I don't do STUPID THINGS.

[Pumpkin]

That feels when you're super productive while everyone else in the house is napping

[Galuf]

Finally caught every pokemon in Alpha Sapphire. Maybe im a bit late. But oh well. (alpha sapphire isnt even relevant anymore though :( )

thanks to shaibana for helping me a bit.

[Fynn]

Had a dream that Lenny Kravitz asked me and my wife to perform with him. It was a huge event with tons of people. She was on drums, I was on bass. Both in the dream and irl I had never played the bass in my life. Didn't prevent me from being incredibly awesome.

Keep in mind I only have like a passing knowledge of Lenny Kravitz in that I know that he exists and makes music and was like the most butch fashion designer ever in the Hunger Games. So why he made me play the bass in my dream is anyone's guess.

[Formalhaut]

Me and Sam have finally moved house officially! It's a lovely apartment. It still has that 'just moved in' look of various things everywhere, and we don't have a sofa yet, but woo!

[Karifean]

The adaptation of the special projection in planetarian was everything I wanted it to be. They captured the magic of the starry sky so well. Now to go listen to this track on repeat for a few hours. (https://youtu.be/lR4dw_B423E)

[Pumpkin]

Went to the flea market and saw this adorable little puppy named Franklin. We didn't adopt him because we aren't set up for a dog but I love him and I hope he finds a good home with someone who names him Franklin.

Took my niece and nephew swimming today. It was a blast diving off the high board, taking the rope swing, and going down the water slide. Looked into a monthly membership for early morning workout swimming while I was there too. It's not that expensive.

Four day weekend after today and boy do I needs it

Met this adorable pomeranian shih tzu mix at the dog park today and she and my dog played so nicely together. It was a great way to start the morning before going to work.

[Fynn]

The rat ate all the poison which makes me very happy!

[Calliope]

Sitting in the airport, eating quinoa salad while the airport bar plays Elliott Smith. I'm going to Guam! My layover is in Tokyo and it is my goal to make it to the Narita Airport Pokemon Store ;_;

[FFNut]

Going dancing tonight with a couple beautiful woman tonight.

[Psychotic]

Visited Insert Coin's pop up Pokemon store (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gaming/what-to-play/pop-up-pokemon-shop-opens-in-london/) today. Not only did I nab a sweet Bulbasaur t-shirt, they also have an ongoing game of Pokemon running on a DS. Yours truly did his bit by taking out Brock with just two attacks :cool:

[Fynn]

Saw Almodóvar's Julieta yesterday. Fantastic movie. Highly recommend it to everyone!

[Pumpkin]

I'm loving my counseling class. I'm learning a ton, especially since it pertains to my actual career goal instead of one of these gen ed. requirement courses.

Also one of my projects didn't take nearly as long to complete as expected, so I have some chill time this morning.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Four day weekend after today and boy do I needs it

Just interviewed for a dream job working with airplanes. Got the feeling they were impressed bye my experience as a whole. Got a good feeling about this!

[Lyndis Highwind]

It rained for the first time in awhile! It's really starting to look like fall out there, and that makes me happy. :)

[FFNut]

Having a few beers.

[FFNut]

Laying down my new front lawn today and a wild bunny came to say hi and watch


edit: took pics with my phone but file size is to big for the site. Anyone know how I could get file size down so I can share?

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

My new job lets me work whenever I want.

There's a shift board, and they let you know what's happening a month in advance. You either sign up for a date or you don't. So if you want close to 40 hours you can get it, and if you want less you sign up for less things.

As long as I don't bail on something I've already signed up for, I don't even have to tell anyone if I want to take a vacation.

[Ouch!]

Something that makes me happy?

I got drunk, someone reminded me about this place, and I decided to swing by.

That made me pretty happy today.

[Lyndis Highwind]

Made a campfire and had some s'mores! Yum. :)

[Fynn]

Not really something that made me happy, more like amused. I had a dream where my wife and I tried to have a baby and the very next day she knew she was pregnant and with quadruplets at that, which made us very, very happy. Then at work I got a message from Galuf and he said that he;s having an EoFF meetup in Glasgow and that I should come and I was like "oh, sure, Glasgow is like ten minutes away, so I won't be home much later than usual." I met some EoFFers and it was fun but the amount of sense that this dream didn't make just has me snickering all the way until now.

[Galuf]

aye Glasgow is 10 mins from Poland. :lol:

[Bubba]

Yeah man, we actually stopped by Poland during the meetup.

The thought of eating healthily after weeks of eating crap makes me happy.

[Galuf]

beating the 4 crystals in FFV without Gil toss made me happy... but that was yesterday.

ok. beating Exdeath in the castle without Gil toss made me happy

[Fynn]

aye Glasgow is 10 mins from Poland. :lol:

The funniest thing was it was 10 minutes on foot from my work.

[FFNut]

Last night I went to my sisters place for dinner. After she had a bunch of old family movies that she played and got to see on them both my grandfathers again. They died over 10 years ago, and it was great to see them smiling and happy.

[Galuf]

Helped a polish dude with some programming today.


.... shoulda asked if it was fynn or zanmato ( I know it wasnt

[FFNut]

My good friend and his wife just had a new baby girl last night. This is their 5th baby.

[Lyndis Highwind]

I'm able to play Xenoblade again! :)

[Night Fury]

I just sent off an enquiry email to become a volunteer at a local dog shelter. They are asking for a semi full time volunteer shift manager and I'm thinking of applying if I'm eligible.

Im also attending/hosting a chocolate fondue evening on Friday with some girls I met on meetup.com

I CAN SMELL. It's glorious. I wasted money on smelly good lotion this weekend and am eating all the foods.

[Bubba]

MissH and her Dad are going to the Man Utd match together tomorrow. Quite a few of you know that he's had leukaemia for two years but he's feeling healthy enough at the minute to get to a game. This makes me very, very happy.

[Freya]

I got roses delivered to my work from the BF. I've never had roses delivered to my work. I've hardly ever got flowers! I'm so happy. He's the best.

[TheKeybasHKey]

Trying to draw on Adobe Photoshop. That put me in a good mood.

[Formalhaut]

Mine and Mr. Carny's anniversary was yesterday so we spent today having lunch and watching a movie.

Three years. Quite the achievement. :love:

Been working hard and it's finally paying off with:

I just like posting that picture.

[Night Fury]

It's been a bit of a pooey week. We've both been ill, frustrated at life, and I've been so down about Magnum :( I've just had low productivity all around. Tonight though I'm making my super chicken noodle soup which basically cures all :) AND we're doing a salad week next week which will be a fun cooking challenge to keep that interesting and not blech. I'm looking forward to next week, and today will be good :)

[Crop]

Completed my first ever race today, the Cardiff Half Marathon, and got a very respectable time of 2 hours 7 minutes.

Now to lie down, eat pizza and drink beer.

Hopefully this handsome guy is gonna be ours. <3

His name is Leo and he's a Lion Head Tibetan Mastiff, a rescue.

We took Penny and met him for the first time today, and he warmed up to me very quickly, and got along great with Penny. He's a bit warier of men (he was abused) than women, but BeeJay let Leo approach him on his own time, and he eventually did and gave him a kiss on his hand. He stayed snuggled with me most of the time, though :D

We're going to see him again on Wednesday and Saturday. We have to keep doing that for awhile to make sure we all bond and that we'll be the best family for him.

Fingers crossed!!

[Pumpkin]

Not today in particular, but coupons! I've never been a coupon person and I'm still not one of those extreme coupon people, but I have printed a few and cut a few out from flyers, and what a difference it makes. We also got one of those advantage cards at the grocery store (for free!), so with that and two coupons we saved $18 on our groceries. We also saved a dollar on ice cream Sunday, and a few dollars here and there at restaurants. On top of that, we went wedding gift shopping and when the lady saw we had coupons, she gave us a discount on our purchases there. So just in the first week after all of that we saved $40 on stuff we were going to buy anyway. That's pretty awesome! It was a big week, we won't be going to as many places this week, but still. The savings add up :D

[Freya]

Oh my local store has an app where I can preload some of their coupons right on their card! You should see if yours has it too! It helps when I forget to get the ads themselves but still want deals!

[FFNut]

Just finished shovelling a ton of snow. That didn't make me happy, but what did is now I have access to the hot tub again after snow was removed! Going to enjoy that tonight!

Well, technically this was yesterday, but:

Finding the video for our first ever gig in the band.

I didn't look up even once! :lol:

Nice spot right next to the toilets!

I'm making a pair of costume opera gloves for Halloween out of some size 20 leopard pyjamas and I forgot how much I love sewing! (They're turning out pretty good too!)

[Night Fury]

DP WOOOOOOO FOR HAPPY THINGS.

I'm feeling sooooooo positive and buzzed about starting my food blog! I've had loads of great feedback and encouragement on Facebook - lots from people I didn't even expect to respond! So I'm super excited to get planning with this idea and see where it goes! :)

EDIT: I've also thought of the name for it and it just makes me do a MASSIVE smile! haha god how lame am I...

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I found out my dad is getting out of the hospital today. He was admitted after getting a blood clot (in his lung) after his brain surgery. So happy news! :D

[Pumpkin]

Having a good few days. Got some good games on sale for mega cheap, the budgeting is working out very well and our money for the week is higher than it used to be, got 100% on a project I was stressed about and got my highest math test grade of the semester for the unit I'd been struggling with the most. Got ahead on some of my homework, finally got some time to decompress, and my mood is pretty high. Did really well on my first counselor role-play assignment and my new English teacher seems approachable so far, I'll learn more on Tuesday. Plus I have my special surprise being delivered hopefully today, if not tomorrow!

[TrollHunter]

I remembered that this place existed.

[Miriel]

Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator, writer, star of Hamilton, genius and modern day Shakespeare, liked and retweeted a photo of my kid's Halloween costumes as Alexander and Eliza Hamilton.

And then I started bawling my eyes out, cause he's like my favorite human being on earth (outside of my family) and the fact that he was somewhere in London, looking at and awww-ing at a photo of my kids dressed up as characters he envisioned and gave us a shoutout pretty much made my heart burst into a million happy little pieces.

Del Murder thinks I'm exaggerating but this guy will go down as one of the most brilliant creative geniuses of the modern era and for a brief moment, he saw us! He made a connection with us! I can't even deal with how happy that makes me.

[Night Fury]

So I get my working rights in a couple weeks, and because we've waited so long to file off the partner visa, we've hit a requirement for me to get permanent residency a lot quicker.

I am so happy. We have thought for a while this would be the case, but to have it confirmed by immigration has just like, melted all of my stress and worry and I feel like this happy, floaty cloud! :D

I can't believe it!

I made my blog live last night, and my restaurant review has had 126 views in just over 12 hours.

126 people potentially read my review! :o I mean, at least 20 of them were me haha. But.... OH MY GOD. That's a jump right there! Overall, the blog has just under 400 views too which is pretty amazing considering. I'm pretty please with myself and motivated to carry on :)

[jenovajunkie]

Well. I went to the gym.

[TrollHunter]

I've gotten accidentally involved in a LOT of drama between a few people lately, and an individual tried to drag my manager from work into this insanity in an attempt to throw me under the bus and ruin my credibility. What made me happy was that instead of brush it off or turn on me my manager was having none of it. She had my back until the end of all of it, she put up with a ton of shit to defend me and that really brightened up an overall rough day for me. I've never had someone defend me like that before.

[jenovajunkie]

That's good a manager stood up for you, I've just learned to defend myself. It's hard to have people stand for you when you represent a minority group.

I hope you got everything sorted out, I hate people who try to throw you under the bus.

[jenovajunkie]

I want to get my pirate ship tattoo soon. I am thinking about it and that makes me happy, haha.

I have a new BIG coffee mug with an etching of "CANADA" and a bear and pine tree design on it!!! :kaoclove:

Here is a picture:

I am not from Canada though, I just found it at a small thrift store. The mug has a very frontier-y hiking-y camping-y feel to it. But it is rather hefty...

[Night Fury]

Pretty excited to announce that after 3 long years of paperwork and collecting shit I am now officially allowed to live, work, and study in Australia until a decision is made on my partner visa.

The huge weight that I have been carrying has been lifted and I feel light as a feather. A new life begins today.

AMAZING NEWS

[Pumpkin]

Only four classes left (plus exam day) and the semester is over. Ohhh feels so good~~

Only three math lessons left after the two I got done tonight. Actually lessons I didn't struggle with for once, so I could knock them out and have more time for my other projects tomorrow

[Night Fury]

Applied for a job last night. Phone interview this morning. In person interview tomorrow.

Score.

My brother just sent me a clip from the EU Parlament where he's with his school there, discussing stuff as part of the international youth on current topics, and there's a whole minute where he speaks at the Parlament about liberties and freedoms and refugees and it's just beautiful :G

Met a friend who I hadn't seen in years today by chance. Had a good laugh.

Rediscovered the beautiful musical work of Nujabes, and I also found this:

I feel like absolute crap today BUT my week long break is almost here, the semester is almost over, I got 100% on my second counseling session project, and the PSN has some awesome deals. Plus my first two classes let out early so I didn't have to sit in the classrooms for two long feeling sick

Defo some positives

[jenovajunkie]

Soon, Pumpkin you can be teaching this stuff! You know America is going to have a huge demand for mental health workers and those types of professions. I read the divorce rate in America is somewhere around the 49 percentile range! That's great news for a family psychologist, lol.

[Calliope]

Sometimes I feel pretty down that I left my library community in NZ, but today I found out that I'm mentioned twice (once with a photo) in this month's issue of NZ's professional library magazine, and people are asking me about my research!

Also, I have the house to myself, which means I get to listen to my music with Spuuky's excellent headphones ^_^

FINAL FANTASY XV

[jenovajunkie]

I bought a new bed set, saw a fuzzy blanket. Bought that too. It's about time I bought nice things for myself, other than quality music and booze. Majority of my money is actually spend on academics, academic literature, and good coffee; so it's a good break.

[jenovajunkie]

The ultimate post-credits scene of Final Fantasy XV.

[Karifean]

There's a certain sense of wonder to seeing someone read through the Umineko question arcs and just... "getting it", for lack of a better term. Where they hit all the right notes in all the arcs and even touch on the biggest mystery of all at a rather incredible point in the game.

I have high hopes for them; they might be one of the very few to be capable of 'solving' Umineko by Episode 4...

[Pumpkin]

So I'm taking four courses. I have 4 tests left and 3 exams to study for. Other than that though, I am done all projects and homework assignments for the semester!!! I am sitting at a 95ish for a few of my classes though and I really don't want to drop below a 93 or I will still have an A but it won't be a 4.0 like I would like. Hopefully it won't drop out of the 90 range, that would make me sad. So we'll see how I do, but I am excite for the semester to be over soon!

AND there will be therapy dogs at the college on Thursday which is awesome because I could use some therapy dog snuggle time

[FFNut]

Just received a phone call for an interview to start an Electrical Apprenticeship. Been trying to break in to this for over 2 years.

[jenovajunkie]

I had a really eventful Monday. I guess that's something!

[Freya]

I'm trying to dress more professionally for my job and one of my new years resolutions is to get a classier wardrobe. So I started already. $12 for the outfit I have on today and I look snazzy!

[Formalhaut]

Working at the University library is going well! It's great making a difference to people's lives.

Even if it is just instructing them how to use a printer. It's the small things.

[Night Fury]

Job hunting going okay.

Made it through to the next round of an interview process for a job that seems pretty awesome. First round was to answer a questionnaire and then to provide a written statement about how my own visions and values align to their company. Fair enough.

Got through to the next stage which was...... a DISC personality typing quiz!

2 and half weeks this has been going on without even a phone call or any idea of when an in-person interview may occur! I wonder if they're using the quiz results to come up with specific interview questions.... or just to slice the candidates down further. It's amusing none-the-less, that's for sure!

[FFNut]

It snowed last night. Not a lot but about 1cm of light fluffy snow. Now being Canadian I am sick of snow and it can stay away for life, however I walked to my parents place which is oddly right next door. Grabbed my dads leaf blower and did the neighbor hood side walk, all driveways around the area and where all the kids get on the school bus. It only took me 30 mins, and one lady came out side with a cup of hot chocolate for me just to say thank you. Made me feel happy.

Also so get to find out today when my interview is for my apprenticeship tomorrow! Very excited about that too. (Also kind of nervous)

[Sephiroth]

I am one of the first people to have the Platinum Trophy and this is my fastest Final Fantasy Platinum. The leaderboard list is not totally accurate though. I am one of the first nonetheless.

HONESTLY, fuck snow eh? I live in Toronto though and we don't have any (yet). I'm pleased with that outcome.

Had a job offer today to start next week. I'm still waiting on a few details concerning wages etc, but this could be a fun job for me and will at least be something to tide me over into the New Year while I continue to hunt for something more permanent!

Just had a student ask me to write him a letter of recommendation for the honors program. Such a humbling experience.

[Night Fury]

Just been invited for an interview with a company I really want to work with - doing all the things I want to make a career out of.


Of course this happens when I've just accepted another job, but such is life! Can only go and see what happens right? :)

[Lyndis Highwind]

Had a great time playing Smash Bros. with my older brother and sister. :)

[jenovajunkie]

That's great to hear! Man I wish my parents weren't so aversive to video games; mainly my father. Also I wish my siblings played games with me. They used to, but not anymore. My father said games are a waste of time. There is a bunch of reasons why games are great, even psychologically.

[Pumpkin]

Final grades came innn~

http://i.imgur.com/YK0zo4W.png

So happy! It was a rough semester and my first semester taking 4 courses instead of just 3. Thankfully, I get to keep my 4.0 for another semester!

[Lyndis Highwind]

It's snowing outside! It never snows where I'm at, so I'm excited. :)

[FFNut]

The course I took yesterday to recertify myself to work in H2S gas situations I scored 100% on the test. Allowed to go back to work again now.

Today was my last day at work, and I got some lovely leaving gifts. I got some nice Harry Potter related stuff - it was good to have them acknowledge the things I like! I am sad to go, but I'm on to my bigger better job on Monday.

Saw a shiba inu for the first time in real life! I'm surprised with how small it was. I thought they weee like labrador-sized. Turns out they're more beagle.
