Feb. 15th, 2001 I'm happy because I'm eating inari sushi and because I don't have to make dinner tonight and because I just heard that little Miriel has arrived (CONGRATULATIONS Max & Vangie!!!!) and because I'm going to go collapse on the couch and very consciously and willfully let my brain go to sleep while I eat candy and watch television. ;) To everything there is a season, my chiclets. midafternoon 20010215 and I started out happy about my beautiful new baby girl Miriel Juniper, but now I'm even MORE happy because... well, I knew about this "wiki" thing and all, but I hadn't been paying much attention, really, and then... wow. I love you all. You are the coolest group of people I know, and I don't even know most of you. Anyway, Vangie gave birth very early yesterday to this beautiful little being who is my daughter. It's indescribable. I mean, I'll probably describe it, but not quite here and now. She is awesome. She brings me much joy.
okay, fine. 3:30 pm, CST, 2.15.01 I'm happy because Jess comes in two days to spend 4 days at the farm for my birthday, I'm happy because the gift I got her for her birthday was shipped yesterday, I'm happy because I'm listening to a really bad song from the 80s that I'm currently in love with, I'm happy because I'm traveling by myself for the first time this year to see my absolute best friend in June, I'm happy because I might get a super-spiffy outfit (WITH a skirt, the crowd all shriek in surprise) for my birthday, I'm happy because I just ordered Living in Clip (mom paid for it) and I'm happy because my cramps finally went away! *cheers* 10:15am, 2/15/01 Day Two of Roya's happiness log I'm happy because I just went to my AllSoRad page and the fact that people like me makes me happy. I'm happy because I can be, because there ain't no reason to be sad. I'm happy that I bought new rubber cement last night, and I'm happy that I also got more posterboard. (hurrah for collages) I'm happy that my sister did my laundry for me when i needed her too, didn't get mad at me TOO much last night when i dissed barbara streisand, and I'm happy that I got to watch a neato Bob Marley special on tv. bob marley makes me happy. I'm happy that I have a place to ramble about being happy, or bitchy, or in or out of love. wiki is a happy happenin' place. The power in it is amazing. it's just got this...KICK. so much energy, and emotions. it's enough to give anyone a stomach ache.
I'm happy knowing that I'm in with a group that will take over the world.
and i have an annoying oldies song stuck in my head and it's just making me smile. that's a good sign.
(Idon'tfeellikeputtingadatehereandyoucan'tmakemesothere) That's pretty hard to read. Hehe. I'm happy because I'm staying at Ali's for a few days to celebrate her birthday. I got her a really cool present, but none of you get to know what it is, 'cause Ali can see this page, too (I'm certain this got a few sighs from Ali). I'm happy 'cause I'm going to be testing for Pre-Juvenile moves in exactly two weeks, I'm competing for the last time with precision in 16 days, and I turn 14 in 16 days. I'm also happy because I'm LEAVING in 22 days, and I get to see Dan in 32. (not that I'm counting or anything...) plus before I see Dan, I get to see one of my best friends (since we were 3), who I haven't gotten to see in a long time. I'm happy because I get to babysit five kids on Friday with one of my best friends, and we're each getting $5 an hour (the mom was like "well, if you split it down, you each get 2 1/2 kids..."), and I need the money. I'm happy because everything is good, and I have energy, and I'm just happy because I am. I think that's the best reason. -JessicaSkater

An account of my happiness, by RoyaBoya.
I'm happy for no reason at all, which is a very good reason unto itself.
I'm happy because here it is, 11:25 now, and I'm talking to Marina who makes me happy. :) I had a good night at jazz, and I'm feeling like dancing. Or walking naked in the rain, which is something I've been told I must do. And the person who told me makes me happy, coincidentally.
I'm happy because I'm going to camp, I'm happy because it's spring. I'm happy that I met a bunch of amazing nbtsc'ers at marina's party and I'm happy that Becky won a poetry slam. I'm happy that train's exist and I'm happy that there are clouds. I'm happy because I had a genius moment earlier and now I know that they're possible, and I'm looking forward to the next one.
I'm happy because dr demento is coming to my college and marina's coming to see him and I'm not in love but I'm open to persuasion.
I'm happy that I can plagerize effectively.
I'm happy that i've used marina's name exactly 4 times in this entry so far.
I'm happy that I'm a complicated, complex, competent person with a flair for alliteration.
I'm happy because I know that this feeling won't last, but that it will be back.
I'm happy because everything is right finally. Everything's starting to come together, and I feel fantastic. I finally found a niche where I belong, I found people who love me for me, people I can talk to... People who care. Skating is finally going well, and Junior Royalty on Thursday is going to be a breeze. I feel natural up on the stage- in the spotlight. I feel like that's where I belong... performing, being shown off, showing off, being the center of attention. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. I was watching the public access channel's coverage of last year's coronation, and frankly, everyone else looked rigid and nervous up on stage, but I looked completely comfortable and happy. It just made me feel good. Plus, I get to see Dan and Katie and Logan and Melissa soon, so that's good. *grins bigly* For the time being, everything's perfect. It couldn't be better. (well, it could... but that'd be stretching it just a little bit). Plus, I got to go with to pick Eric and Lotus up from the bus station this morning, and I spent the night at Ali's after we went to see a movie, so that was fun. -JessicaSkater I'm happy because life is sweet! I can do anything I want whenever I want, I can be anything I want to be anytime, I'm in control! I can fly, and if I crash I can make it interesting. I don't have to cook dinner this week, I don't have to worry about walking to college in the rain without an umbrella and waiting for the bus than never arrives on time. I don't have to worry about getting a bad grade, because hell! It's not the grade that counts, it's how much of the context I understand and put to use in my life. I love my dog, and I don't have to wake up early. I don't have to worry about anything, and my life is totally going to be the coolest life I can make it!1/16/01, ~Melanie Yessss! I'm happy now, because Melissa e-mailed me back, and Dan called me last night, and... yeah. Melissa's taking me to Ohio with her to see her sister, who happens to be my best friend. The catch? The route we're taking practically goes past Dan's front door, so I probably get to see him in March!! *bounces off the walls* And I made it to the coronation for Junior Royalty, which is next Thursday, and I've got an awesome formal, and I'm pshyched about that. I've also got Duluth next Saturday, and I am so freaking close to my double toe that I'm gaining hope of landing, or at least touching down or two-footing it. (touching down is just that- touching the ice to keep your balance, and two-footing is landing on two feet.... but you're smart people. You would have figured that out. I don't necessarily need to land it- just come reeeeeeeal close.) -JessicaSkater I'm happy because I'm not in high school any more (yay!!!!), I'm getting all these fantastic ideas, I had the perfect cup of almond tea this morning, I'm taking an African drumming class, I have a CD player, I'm learning Hey Jude on the piano, I get to spend all day at the library tomorrow, and because my friends are so sweet! Yay! Life is good today. - Erin D. I'm happy because it's the new year and I did my hair up like Rosie the Riveter today, and cuz I bought three new comic books and some candy to eat. And because I found out (thru an ad in one of the comics I bought) that there is an English version out of a really good comic series I only had in Japanese, and could only find a translation of one volume on-line. And because I went to the library and picked up a bunch of books. (I didn't even mind I'm happyhappy because I spent the entire day with Ali and Kelli at the Mall (of america). My feet hurt, and I'm wiped out, but I'm loving it. I finally found the sountrack for Labyrinth, which I've been looking for for over four years, and I got "Simon and Garfunkel's greatest hits" and a really pretty grey sweater, and I just finished cleaning up all the Christmas decorations, and I'm going to go play the guitar until my fingers fall off, and then I'm going over to my aunt and uncle's house for my cousin's first birthday. After that, I'm going to skating, where I plan on landing my double toe a few more times, and I'm just... HAPPY! Everything is kicking ass right now. Plus, last night, Ali and I called Dan and harrassed him for a while (poor guy's getting sick. *sniff*), which was fun, as always. And I look really good right now. Simple, but good. (Kelli said I look preppy, and maybe I do... so what? I'm in jeans and a grey turtleneck sweater, with my hair down. I don't see what's so preppy about that). And now I'm being non-modest (words escape me at the moment), so I'm gonna' take off. -JessicaSkater I'm bouncing off the walls because I'm listening to my favorite song (She's Got a Way), Adam D. called me last night, I'm getting over writer's block, I have a new CD burner, and I'm exercising my new year's resolutions by going to blow about $70 at the Mall of America with JessicaSkater tomorrow and I'm spending the night at her house. Wahoo! Thursday, December 28. Christy is staring into her computer screen, sort of happy, sort of wondering dazed and confused. What does life mean? Is there any point to it? She checks email, again. No emails. She glances at the clock... 10:30. James won't be out of work till 11:30 or 12:00. Maybe that's what she's happy about... happy about having someone she cares about so much, she waits so impatiently and patiently for... someone she loves. 12/15/00...1am! *fit of joyous laughter!* In the course of about 10 hours I learned the rudiments of a webpage editor, put together a page, added info, slapped it together and got it finished. And its finished. *another fit of laughter* Now go see http://www.nbtsc.org/danopian/ and make me happy! ~Danopian, Joyous Optimist~ 12/13/00 I'm insanely happy because my parents okayed a 30 day bus pass and so I'm going to the West Coast and probably all the across to the East Coast too. (if you live one of those places, email me if you wanna see me!) I'm...so happy right now. Of course, I had to promise not to leave again 'til June, but oh well. I'll live through Spring. I'm going West! ~Jasmine 12/13/00 I'm happy because I will be volunteering for a No-Kill, Non-Profit dog rescue center for a few weeks. I never volunteered before so this should be interesting. : ) I am happy, as always, because there's Music (especially Ani DiFranco and Dido.) I'm happy because I finally added "Pinch Me" by Barenaked Ladies and "Good Fortune" by PJ Harvey and a bunch of other stuff to my video collection. Now if only "Renegades Of Funk" would come on... Kim W I just got my buss tickets to IL!! yeaaa!! I really want to be in Austin and see the DT kick off concert! But I cant! cus Ill be recording! So its ok!! And Im loven exclamation points! Woohoo!! I found a drummer!! And he rocks!!!! And I havent jamd with him yet!! But hes perfect none the less!! Cus I know stuff!!! And Im goin up to Lenas for new years! Against most odds and a busy schedule! And Ill be rushing around like crazy! Which is just where I like to be!! So rawalk me!!! yaa! 12/9/00 In between grinding my molars down to dust & stomping around the house furiously, this is what I'm happy about: I found out that my library carries a bunch of cool small-press comic books & graphic novels I've been really wanting to read, which I was thinking I'd have to buy. Yay! I also did the most fucking awesome b picture the other day, with brush and ink, of one of my new comic characters, & I'm damn proud of it. ~Rosie I'm happy because I did really nice double pirouettes on pointe today and I think I'll be able to start working on triples again soon, and if I really wanted to I could squeeeeeze into my smallest jeans again, and I looked really good doing jazz even though it's my second class ever this six months, and Nicholas is good eye candy. ;) - Emma 12/7/00 I'm listening to a really rough cut of my band FalsePride playing our first demo song, recorded last week at the Riekes Center. And despite a few slips, it sounds so damn tight. The bass is tight. The drums are tight. The guitar is tight. It sends shivers through my spine! Fuckyes. And to make life even better, one of my bestest best friends Krista is here!!! Yay! Score! -Zen 12/6/00 i'm eating caramel popcorn. i'm listening to 311. my hair looks cute. kelton was extra kissy with me today. i talked to jake last night. jesse is going to ask me out this week. ashley is spending the night. i don't have much homework. i know at least five boys who i think probably have a crush on me, and i have three major crushies on my mind. i feel pretty. my good days are starting to outnumber the bad. i feel content. i feel in love. i feel lucky. -moth 12/6/00 whee! i'm so delirously happy. i dunno why, but i am. i have a theory it has to do with holiday cheer. we're decorating the house for christmas and there's carols on the radio and it's warm inside and cold outside and we're getting a TEN FOOT tall christmas tree this weekend! i've never had a REAL tree before!! and i just love all my friends so so much and i can't wait to send them all presents! huggles, -Katgrrl November 29th(i think)7:15 est!Man am I happy. I'm not sure why, or what. But school sucked. bad. But I did some of my over due homework. yay. I saw my friend Katy whom I love muchly, and... I have lots of bracelets on. I'm listening to good music. Jake and Avi called me. 'cause i hate my face and my hair.And.. it really doesn't matter. because, my true friendys still love me. 'cause Joe emailed me, and Naomi wrote back. 'cause I can't wait to waste money I should save on the people i Love. cause the woodstove is warm and i'm a little bit tingly in my little boys purple little demons base ball shirt, and i love the feeling. 'cause it rained and it might snow. and and and.. there was a super cute boy at the grocery store. I'm a dork I know. and cause. yeah. I'm smilin' and it's a damn good thing. let's hope it lasts, eh! I love you guys so muchly---rachel I'm happy because I had a really long bath/shower with really hot water really late last night/this morning (complete with a novel and a cup of coke (a Cola) laced cranberry juice. ;) I twisted (that's right, twisted, not braided) my hair and I haven't done that in a long time. I'm happy because I won't have to deal with the friggin copier or The Fax Machine From Hell for much longer cuz I'm finally quitting my thrice damned job. I'm happy because there's Music. I'm happy because I'm taking the time to re-write this after the computer decided to disconnect a split second before I hit "Save". I'm happy because I'm about to get some much needed sleep. Kim W I'm feeling really happy and optimistic, the way I feel is where I should be normally. I just got back from two weeks in florida, a complete bore though I had a lot of philosophical insights and lot of 'wow, life is beautiful' moments. (I really feel like having a long romantic conversation about it all with someone) I stepped outside the airport in Indianapolis and perked up at all the delightfully COLD weather!! *sighs and shivers* I'm a polar person, florida is to me like it is to frosty the snowman, my brain melts and I get grumpy. So I've returned home in a spirit that says 'I'm not returning Home; I'm going to live my life like a constant adventure, I'm ascending back to real life.' I await the sunrise like I await a train to a faroff land. ~Dan Frampton, cynical optimist~ - sunday, the twenty-sixth
six past three o'clock
baby! i don't know why i'm happy. in fact, it makes no sense at all. and i think that's the part i like most about it! but it's sunny and the clouds look fake again, which always makes me giggle. my daddy-o is putting christmas lights on the house, which also makes me giggle because i know how much he hates putting up christmas lights. not to mention the fact that it's still november! that crazy dude. i can hear my rottweiler rustling around in the leaves out back. i was driving home from flowermound (where brent lives) the other day with courtney and when we got on the highway we had a nice view of the city. and the trees, oh the trees! like big fluffy balls, all different colours... loverly. and i look like shit! it's great! i love looking bad sometimes. especially on the weekends when i'm at home with nothing to do, so i get on the computer and look like shit and listen to the music that defines who i am. it feels right today. and i had toast and coffee and soon i'll do my homework (which i haven't done all week because i didn't know i had any... heehee). i keep thinking about christmas and getting that very specific "warm christmasy feeling" in my tummy. though this year won't be quite the same because i'm flat broke... oh well. i'll work it out. and i lay in bed this morning for probably a straight hour before i actually got up... just thinkin' about, y'know... boys n stuff. yah yah, you thought i'd make it through this post without mentioning something about the opposite sex well you were wrong! hehe... but yeah. they make it a little better for me these days. so that's why i'm happy. even though i didn't clearly state a reason... i can't pin-point a specific reason. i just feel good on the inside. and i'm all fulla love, the kind that makes people smile. and that's why i'm here, isn't it? yes. i hope you're smiling. with love,
-moth
Ya know, I think it is much better to get creative gifts or not anything particularly money costing on Christmas. I would rather just be around people I love. That's what Christmas is to me. It's about the feeling. It's about lovely smells and fires in the fireplace, and cold outside, and baked goods, and company. Lovely friends and family. So pay me a visit, give me a hug, and I'll consider myself lucky and loved. november the ? two eleven am the year two thousand on planet earth, i am happy because i found this unschooling happy web site, i am happy because i'm awake late writing what i want to instead of what i'm supposed to write for college, i'm happy because i spent this weekend playing with dogs and singing and doing 'nothing' as a necessary way to clear my mind and be happy again to be in my last year of school, i am happily ready to do neat stuff to finish that adventure and move on, i am happy because i got back to my unschooling roots this summer, hit the road with a backpack a tent and often times a thumb, and i'm especially happy because i went to rainbow gatherings and group hugged and slept by campfires and played drums and awakened the unschooler in my soul that lives and loves and learns infinitely i am happy to remember all the unschoolers i've known and loved and happy to say a prayer that jah bless all the unschooling warriors of light. love always, larla dey Whhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! -Robyn, who can not at present reveal why she's hpapy but she it I'm happy because I look gorgeous and beautiful and sexy and everything today. -JessicaSkater 11/1/2000 i'm happy because i have candy. -cory I'm happy because I live in such a nice neighbordhood. I can't remember the last time there was any sort of theft in my area. It's good to know that some chump can leave the door unlocked all day, come back, and find nothing missing. I'm happy cuz Robbys here! And on Halloween my bands having a cool party and Samantha and Susannah and Bowie (hopefully) and Scott and Jesse are all gonna be there! And I'm going to get to play music for 'em. RAWK!!! -Zen Friday October 27, 2000, I am HAPPY because I'm going to my first concert today (I loves me music) and going to Orlando tomorrow (cuz dressy clothes aside, I like road trips and going places.) Because I got to watch one of my fave movies twice before returning it to the evil clutches of Blockbuster. Because I turned up the volume to the max on my way to work (which is where I am right now) and sang along to "All Along The Watchtower" (Hendrix Rocks!) and remembered why I love that song so much. Because I'm at work, but will be leaving soon. ; ) ~ KimW I am happy because I am in love, and someone loves me back. I am happy because I'm testing on Monday, and I feel super-confident about it for once in my life. I am happy because I'm listening to Christine Lavin, I am happy because the insurance check will be here in a week or so. I am happy because I no longer have cramps (!). I am happy because I slept in 'til 10:30 this morning, and it was wonderful to get enough sleep for once. I am happy because I'm finally getting some money, which I haven't had in a long while. I am happy because everything is finally starting to go right for me, and it rocks. Kelli finally called me back, and she's just been busy - not ignoring me on purpose. I am happy because of everything... love, happieness, wellness, confidence, and the wonderfulness of life, the universe, and everything. -JessicaSkater I just finished my wiki page ThePageToEveryThing so check it out AND I got my electric guitar that i've been waiting for sence camp. YAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I'm happy because I have this recently acquired artistic perspective that makes unusual things seem beautiful, things that would be judged as inconvenient or even dangerous. Shattered glass, for example. In bus shelters near downtown Seattle, there are lots of windows that have been hit by something. Not enough to make the the glass fall out of the frame (that would be very dangerous), but just enough so that it looks cracked all over. At night, when all those shards of glass are catching street lights and traffic lights and neon lights and head lights, it's very attractive, almost like a prism. I also tend to find spilled coffee and smudged ink aesthetically pleasing. I used to hate imperfections and imprecisions and mistakes. Now I keep falling in love with them. Mitchell I'm happy because this netzero software has proven that the problem with my internet connection was all juno's fault! so I've got internet access that stays connected for more than a minute or two! (my main e-mail is still at juno though, and plans to stay that way.) ~z~ Here here for the late night computering, Cloe! *grin* I went to sleep finally at 6AM-ish, after being on the computer for a looong time. I am very happy because NickV is coming here in 9 days! And he's bringing me a hella cool light blue valour cowboy hat! yeyeyeyeyeyeyey! And soup is cooking, and it smells real good. And the burns and cut I just aquired from making the soup (it was from scratch) are not hurting so much anymore. I'm happy because the guy I've been eyeing since the first day of college admitted to me that he had a crush on me before I admitted any such thing to him - surprised us both. I'm happy because he makes me happy, and I'm happy because I make him happy. The only thing I'm unhappy about is his girlfriend, but I think that's going to change, making me even happier. I'm happy because my new computer, which has been placed carefully in my bedroom is super speedy and allows me to stay up all hours of the night, when really I should be in bed so I don't fall asleep on my 1/2 hour drive to school in the morning. I'm happy for autumn, falling leaves and L O V E. ~Cloe I am happy. Naomi is sitting next to me, and we're goofing on the computer, one of our favourite bonding things. And I love that NickV so much. Naomi and I had tea. Wonderful wonderful jolly tea! Orange spice nonetheless! Life is one beautiful thing. I am so appreciative of ..everything! Dude! wow i'me feeling a happiness overload.. i'm happy because: i'm alive, i'm in nyc, i discovered a way to (maybe) afford to live here, milo and i are back together, um, sort of, in the way that we are (if you know me you'll understand), i'm a little tipsy, my job interview today went really well, and i feel confident, and carsie visited me! and because i love you guys, and being alive, and learning all the time.
Wind is happy because she's beginning to retain some of the cheerfullness of camp and it could snow, soon, and hey you never know maybe i'll get that letter today. but i can bear it. but wind is learning not to bear things, to enjoy them. to enjoy everything. Wind is learning to look for surprises, to look for pink snowflakes and purple hugs and laugh when you don't find them. Yeah, yeah, I've been posting on here way too much, but I'm HAPPY!!!! My aunt is lending me the CD for 'Phantom of the Opera', and it's AWESOME... the overture is probably what I'm going to use for my new skating music... that would ROCK!! And Dan will be here in... 3 DAYS!!!! yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay! so yeah- I'm done now. Wait- no I'm not. I'm also happy 'cause I thought that I was flat broke for a month, but turns out I'm not, because the other day, I got about 10 calls from people wanting me to babysit. So I'll have *money* again!! YEAH! -JessicaSkater I might be happy. But I can't tell. It's too late; I am too tired. But, anyways, I think I'm in love. But, you know, it's too late and I am too tired to fully evaluate that. I think I'm in love, so what am I so afraid of? Ohnonothatstupidsonggetoutofmyheadnow! ~erin I am happy because I spent from 5:30-12:00 scaring the shit out of people at the tunnel, and I was up until 1:30 washing that god-damned makeup off my face, but it was so much fun! The whole tunnel was awesome, and I no longer am the owner of a voice whatsoever, seeing as I was screaming my lungs out for a good 6 hours. I am happy because Dan will be here in... 4 days (not counting today). I am happy because my double salchow is getting really consistant, and my layback is looking AWESOME. I am happy because I don't have to have knee surgery- just physical therapy. I am happy because I am in love, and it's awesome, I am happy because it's only... 296 days 'til camp! -JessicaSkater I'm so freaking happy. I was happy last night, and it got better. I'm now extatic. Yesterday, I went to go work for the city, and I was going to catch the bus. I missed it by three seconds. I kid you not, I was waving to the thing as it pulled out. Little did I know that half an hour later, I'd be really grateful, and that it had more benefit than saving me a needless expenditure of fifty cents. I walked downtown. I was way early, so I took my time. I passed a shop I'd never really seen, so I went to peek in (hell, they might have had a help wanted sign out)... well, it was closed. No big deal. I went around the corner. I ran into the fellow who runs the stained galss shop. Guess who needs a webpage. Totally random chance, and if I'd been three seconds more on time, I'd have missed it... missed a job potentially worth a thousand dollars, american. I went downtown. There were lots of places hiring. Go figure I went and worked for the City, as Iwas going to, took minutes for a Council meeting I came home happy, in love with how things are. The weather was perfect all day I checked my email. There was a message from Aaron Dragushan, a fellow I'm going to work for doing web development. He was asking if my doing eighty hours a month is okay... okay? Hell yeah! That'd pay perfectly. I don't have to move or anything! Life is grand. I slept... not that well (damned cat....) but anyway, I woke up feeling pretty good. I showered, which was nice, too. I went and threw my laundry in the dryer and checked the mail. There was a letter from Tessa... I could tell from the color of the envelope (she uses these great hemp-paper manila colored envelopes...) and it made me really happy. I also got no unwelcome bills(Yes, Maya, I did get the bill from NBTSC, and will pay it), did get an envelope from my grandparents, witha card for my birthday... and some spending money... like... lots. Wow. It solved some financial troubles, which is awesome. My biggest worries are evaporating. I'm sooo happy... I'm gonna go write back to Tessa, then write to Aremy, then call on a job, and see what happens. --Aredridel [0] Perhaps because college studenst occupied those jobs during the summer, and then quit when they went back to school... Mitchell, glowing and grinning and happy that things are going so well for you moth is happy because she just went driving. because it smells like christmas. because her head is full of songs that make her smile. because she might see her brent and courtney and erin tonight. because her hair is short and her eye-liner is light blue. because it's okay to be immature and jealous. because i am who i am. because i love you. I am happy because of the cucumber sauce I will be making after I write this, the four poems I wrote two days ago, the entire bittersweet bush I can gather for wickerwork, (because it is the non-threatened variety my mom planted) for mothers, especially mothers who are also close friends, for my mother and friend specifically, for the trees, the rain, wind and the falling leaves I have been walking through. Carrie, easily happy, not even slightly grammatically correct I am happy because I spent all day making challah and screwed up the whole recipe, and the dough was really stringy and sticky so I thought it would turn out really crappy, but instead it puffed up gorgeously light and turned a delicious delicate brown and I'm eating it now and it tastes very good. :) :) Plus I discovered a Mozart CD in the livingroom which I actually like, I've been reading bits and pieces of a Shakespeare comedy I've never seen, and my friend Caitlin (3rd year, 1st sessioner from NBTSC, is coming tomorrow evening.) Is there anything much more fun than hand-kneading bread?? ~Rosie I am happy because Dan is coming to my house on the 18th!! *yay* *jessica dances and jumps and yells and laughs all at the same time* -JessicaSkater
Okay, I'm so NOT very happy right now. Thusly I thought it'd be a GREAT time to list things I am happy about it an effort to cheer me up! I'm happy that my music theory class is so cool. I'm happy that my band is doing SO well. I'm happy that I have tickets to see Deftones!!! I'm SUPER happy that I have tickets to see The Barenaked Ladies!
YEAH! Zen I'm blissfully content cuz I just remembered that we have Pearl Jam tickets!!! And the concert is in less than a month!! And I just stayed up until 3am last night (this morning?) watching American Beauty again which was very happyifying indeed. Everything's pretty fucking okay! Jenny I am happy because...I am going to be in the Nutcracker! yep,yep,yep, your own little Kimmy cast in the nutcracker as...the Maid. She's this cute little comic that comes out in the first scene and dances and stuff. And MAYBE i'll get to tumble!!! I am happy because of today's blessed adventure. See JessicaShoutsOut. (wb, 9/24, 1:11 am) 'Zup cool unschooling people. I am once again Happy after being not Happy for some time. It's 3:41 AM (yes, I am obsessed with time), and I'm insane for being up to read and write on this all addictive Wiki Web. I'm tired, but won't be zombie-like for another few hours since I woke up at 2 PM after going to sleep after 7 AM the morn before. I rambled on way too long before so I'll keep this short and sweet. Why am I Happy? Cuz I can sleep in today (Woo Hoo), I'm writing in peoples AllSoRad pages and reliving so many good camp memories. The Matrix is on and there are no spoons, so Chiyah! - Kim W.
I am happy right now because I get to meet some skaters who I have been idolizing for so long... Nicole Bobek, Ekaterina Gordeeva, The Brians (Orser and Boitano)... Ilia Kulik... and several others... I get to SKATE with them! -JessicaSkater I'm happy because of watermelon Chupa Chups and bike riding and a zigzag part in my hair and potentially sewing things and talking to two campers for a long time yesterday and sending people emails and putting together letters/packages! - Emma wow... haven't been chipper enough to write on this page in a while... but let's see... I finished driver's ed, college aplications, painting my room, desiding when I'm moving out, and at least a half dozen other wee little things that had been bogging me down for a while. Now I just have to organize all my worldly possessions (read: trash a lot of stuff, pack a lot of stuff, and do it while having a continuous sneezing fit from the dust.) and earn money, and not go to camp... but possitive... yeah, I'm done almost all of the really overwhelming things that where pulling me down for a while there, and I'm about ready to buy tickets to go see becca again (hopefully for an entirely much less agrevating frusterating visit than last time) and in 4 months I'll be moving to 2 hours or so from becca (YAAAAY!!) and and and... Jake's comming back in a month and he's promiced his mum that he'll stick around for a while so I'm gonna get to see him, and if I can manage it invade his house for a week and see his whole fabulous family, something I haven't done in far to long... so yeah.... and I'm getting $10 an hour, so though I know right where every penny of it is going already, I can't really complane. Oh... and of course the fact that me and becca are doing so incredibly well right now... we're both at our wits end pretty much after a solid 2 years of knowing eachother from 600 miles, but we comunicate so incredibly well, it's fabulous, so we're good, so I can't help being happy, she just does that to me!! Mr.z I made it into the Chamber Orchestra!!! And I'm going to take private lessons from Malvina Kesselman. Not that you know who that is, and you probably don't know what the chamber orchestra is, but I'm happy, and that's all that matters! ;p just kidding ~Erin It's a strange feeling not being lonely. I've been living with lonliness so long and so continually that the absence of it is slightly bizarre, though in a very satisfying way. Being happy on top of not being lonely makes life so doubly good. I'm so, so, so, lucky. In my friends, my lifepath, my decisions, my mother, myself, in the ways I'm relating to people and how openly and generously they're giving back. I must say, I never dreamed of my life going the way it is, mostly because I could never imagion anything this good. ~Tessa I am happy because in less than i week i get to meet al sorts of rad camp people! -Spiff I'm happy cuz in less than 24 hours I will be in Oregon with my bestestbestest friend Krista!! Hoorah!!!! And in less than a week I'll be at camp with all my other friends! YAY! -Zen I'm in the final week of countdown until I'm in Covallis again, and the thought of only seven more sleeps until I get on the bus makes me smile whenever I think it. ~tessa yay... I spent the entire day with Scott... hehe. I can't remember ever being this happy *ever*. As you all probably already know, I've liked Scott since forever. We went to the pool with a bunch of friends, went up the resevior... rode bikes... sat around... made a *really* dumb movie... did stuff like that. At the pool, he was splashing his sisters and their nanny, and I went to go 'rescue' them, and they started taking hostages, so I took him hostage, and it made a good excuse for snuggling, though I must say that it wasn't too terribly romantic what with all the splashing and screaming going on... -JessicaSkater
oy vey. ya know, i'm starting school this monday... i can hear you all gasping :) but yah... i'm amazingly excited. because i need humans in my life, i need tons of beings full of love and interesting comments...like, "you've been homeschooled? do you know how to do addition?" no.. it'll be okay. me in a building full of... people. whatever. but so, i'm happy. because i just dyed my hair bright orange, and i pierced my ears, and i bought some rad vintage clothes, and there are tons of beautiful boys everywhere! and i think i've fallen in love... with no one in particular. ~unobtrusively yours, naomi the moth~ I'm happy cuz I bought a kick-ass new shirt, I saw my boy today, I have a lot of candy, my zine is turning out really cool, and I'm halfway through a Pablo Neruda anthology! Yeah, life is so damn good right now. Waha! (~summer) I am agreeing with Jenny right now :) I recently felt an enormous stress relief because I stopped worrying about camp. I am happy because Erin is getting back today. I am happy because I could move out to many different cities right now if I wanted to with no problem, because convenient living opportunities have been popping up all over the place in my life for some reason. But most of all I am happy because I feel like I know myself again. -courtney Everything's awesome!!! It just is. Trust me. Like, I think that there should be as many uplifting pages such as this as there are depressing ones because everything's just so COOL! Even when things are really shitty there's always something cool. Like, chocolate. Or talking to people you don't know. Or naps. Etc. So yeah, my point is, chill everyone, everything's gonna be okay. And if *I* can say this, anyone can! ~Jenny I have spent 2 days painting with water colours, listening to music, and practising wasting time. I am still terrified of the future, but i feel better for it. I feel loved. that is a scary thing to feel. -Dawn I am happy because I have purple hair! at least sort of... it's mostly just tinted purple, but it still looks c o o l. -JessicaSkater i am happy because A) i got rollerskates a couple of days ago!!!!!! B) i actually worked some today C) robyn & jake called so even though they didn't call to talk to *me*, they did anyway D) i'm working on this really fun to do (because of all the swirlies and things) comic strip which is, so far, really slinkster-cool E) i am going to see people in approx. a month (ROSIE & TESSA!!!!!! YAY!!) and Theory is pretty soon. other then that i am listening to Shampoo, this funny British pop band fronted by two bubble-gum blond teenage girls with slinkster accents, and i just realized that i have more money then i've been crediting myself with. :):):) yay! life is good. *Kate* I had an excelent day in the market today, I made more money than I needed and I got given flowers *smile*. I also have three consecutive days of IRC access at the moment, which makes me happy because being on my own so much lately has made me realise how much I love communicating with my friends. Life is so good! ~tessa I'm happy because I've spent a few hours with Tessa each evening since Monday, and I'm going to see her again tonight, and again next week, and probably the week after that. I don't mean to gloat, but Yaaaaaayyyy!!!! I'm happy because right now I seem to be completely physically relaxed and comfortable in my body. Probably a side effect of hugging and talking with Tessa so much. I'm happy because I'm going to EMP in about an hour (I'll add that link another time). I'm very happy because yesterday I realized yet again just how much I can do with my life if I actually go after the things I want to do instead of just planning and dreaming. I'm happy because today is nice and cool, as opposed to the past few violently hot days. I'm happy because I Am. Mitchell "Nothing happens next. This is it." -New Yorker cartoon I'm happy because of all the beauty I see and feel. All the intensity, and pain, and joyfulness. I am happy because I am sad. -courtney I am happy to be cheery and hyper at 11:30pm. It's fun. It happened a couple of nights ago and I blamed it on the candy, but it's just something I do. I get hit late at night by enterjetic thingys and start wanting to bounce off the walls and type really really fast. I guess I should be going to bed, but I'm not going to so there. I guess this really belongs on the ramble page, but I'm happy because I've been sad and lonely all day and then my sweet little dog licked my elbow and now I'm happy-hyper. I think dogs know when people are sad. They can tell. : ) ~Kathleen Great idea, whoever came up with this page. : ) I am happy for the air that i breathe. its always there for me. i often forget that i use so much of it. i take it for granted. i breathe in clean air, and spit it out once its dirty. in return for the air i make dirty, the earth once again gives me air that is breatheable, no questions asked. I'm Happy cause I have a keen grasp of sarcasm, and it keeps me entertained. -Gennie Oh dear.... I'm happy because I'm going to be in Georgia with becca in less than five days, which I didn't know till the night before last, and didn't even think would be possible till the morning before yesterday! YYYAAAAHOOOOOO!!!!! 6/18/00 2:04 pm, EST. ~Mr.z~ I am happy because its almost Summer Solstice, which means it is almost my birthday, which means we are almost 18! yay! and all is well in the world. everything is comeing up roses... -Dawn, who feels like she loves everyone tonight. I'm happy because I woke up at noon without feeling guilty for it. Because I had a really emotional day yesterday so I now feel quite light, and reasured that I can be emotional without having unschoolers around (well, does irc count as "around"?). Because I'm leaving for the summer and forever in fifteen days. Because life, and all the little build-ups and melt-downs that happen during it are making me feel so alive. ~tessa I Am Happy For You, and who you are and what you dream. I am happy because you can love, and you might just love me and because there is rain and things that can fly and Amtrak sales for cheap tickets and because things are good and everythings going to turn out okay. and i am happy for Eryn hugs and Mitchell kisses and for all the beautiful people out there who love me even when i dont deserve it. But mostly im just happy for You. love,Dawn I'm happy because I just figured out how this is supposed to work, and I can finally get on this way cool website, and I get to take a great big wonderful trip at the end of this summer(guess where!), and because we're going to the waterslides Sunday, and I think there's still candy in the kitchen and ice cream in the freezer and I know how to make words on here purple now (or at least I think I do), and I have a cute dog and a cool job, and I'm happy that I'm happy. Yay and hip hooray for happiness! -Kathleen 6-7-00 (And happy for this cool website! Yay!) P.S. (5 minutes later) Ha! I can do rainbow words! It worked! I wonder how colors this computer knows? I'm happy because I slept for 10 or 11 hours (not sure exactly how much) and I feel really relaxed and laid-back and forgiving of all the world's trespasses (those that I can remember.) Plus I just read that little blurb about the AircraftCarrier. *grin* ~Rosie I am happy because I'm wearing a cheery yellow shirt & I found all the nice stuff people wrote about me on the We're All so Rad page and because I've been lying on my bed listening to Kate Wolf and there are little tiny white snips of cloud surfing along in the very blue sky and Amy was here yesterday and I have a bunch of Godzilla bandaids on my fingers and I've been reading through a lot of old (and newer) letters from my letter box and my toenails are a bright, unchipped metalic cobalt blue. Plus I've discovered Wiki. (makes anybody happy.) love you all~~**RoZiE 5/16/00 I am very happy tright now because it's sunny, i just got back playing frisbee and hanging out on the beach with my familia, i had delicius frozen yogurt icecreaam, and best of all i went up high on the swings...which i had previously been terrified to do. YAY! Spiffybug (Robert) Okay, some people (who shall remain nameless to protect the Eryn... er... the guilty) want to know just why I hated my car so. I'm not sure I can convay in words the pure pleasure of driving a 1980 Cutless Supreme for six months. We got it from my grandmother for a dollar, and then put quite a few more into it to make it pass inspection. It would drive for a time and every once in a while develop a new problem requiring still more dollars to fix it. Just last night, as I was getting off the highway on my way to the theater, a hose burst (indicated by large amounts of white horrible smelling steam coming from the hood) my first thoughts were "aww shit", my second thoughts were hope that I make it to the parking lot. I did make it to the theater parking lot and arranged myself a ride home. This morning I went out with my dad to pick the car up and take it to the shop, a trip it almost made (it died at the bottom of the shop's driveway). So I'm happy to be rid of it. Now I/we can get a real car. 5/15/00 Ooo, I'm happy because my car died. Yes, you read that correctly, I'm happy because my car died. Okay, so it wasn't actually *my* car, it was a third car for the family, which mean I had to drive it all the time. Yes, it was a car, and yes it got me where I needed to go (mostly) but I'm more than happy that it's gone. I can live without for a while. Anyway, that's why I'm happy right now. I'm very quietly happy, because the night is calm and silent, and all my daylight problems seem to fade when I have time to sit still and think. My computer hums, my brain murmers, and me, myself, and I contemplate the ceiling with something approaching joy. - Tia It's like 2 in the morning in a small city in Northern Canada. I am here, i am alive, i am happy. I have found THIS cool little geek toy, and if i stay on much longer i might actually be able to figure it out. I totally cant sleep but i dont mind it. I am happy because, well this is all here right? Like you have a computer and can read this and thats cool, and i have one too, which is even more amazing. Its this whole global communication thing happening. And better still we can meet and get to know each other and share ideas and love and challenge each other and change the world.
jennyrose I'm happy because I have this bracelet that tells me to be. And because I forgive everyone. And I love everyone. And the future sparkles. And I have all night free to do something right. Like write letters or fix a song or call an old friend or fingerpaint. And because my life is burning into beautiful ashes that I can admire from a distance. And I just saw Nine Inch Nails. Actually I think that everything in my life makes me happy, even the shitty stuff. Because I'm finally starting to learn from it, maybe. Jenny Dude, this is cool. I'm happy because I'm playing my viola and it sounds good and I can play Pop Goes the Weasel on it which might not sound like a hugs accompliment but it's way more fun than the Telemann Concerto, and I just played some inprov and it didn't suck and I'm having a pony show in a couple days and I already got my ribbons and today just feels like a bouncy happy day!! Robyn I'm HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY because, well, dammit, I'm in Hawai'i and vastly interesting things are afoot in the world. And Jim Woodring's still making art. Yay! I'm happy because today, i think i found a really kindred soul in the gorgeous body of a boy who pushes me on the swing and talks about physics and art and fire and love and my eyes and being homeless and growing tomatoes. i am not happy but if i was it would be because i am alive and in a world that holds people with eyes and dreams and hands and voices and thoughts and guitars and because i am co-existing with all these incredible human beings with these incredible minds and these incredible souls and because of paisleys and ani difranco and eugene and three-months-till-camp and wiki and poetry and melancholy-ness and friends and summertime and cartoons and smiles and dreadlocks and novels and the color FUSCHIA and earthworms and jelly bracelets. and now i am definitely closer to happy. ~carsie~ I am happy! I have just seen Cirque Du Soleil live! this has been my goal since I was a tiny tiny person! and for you silly people who don't know about the great and wonderful Cirque Du Soleil, it is one of the best nouveau circus troupes in the world!!
