I think I complained too much in the other thread.
Absolute number one: waking up early to go to school, putting your feet on the floor, and realizing it's the first day of summer vacation. A close second: Quote:

I posted in "the other thread" that non-Krispy Kreme donuts bother me.
Well, conversely, Krispy Kremes are Little Things That Rule. Better than sex, heroin, crack, whatever. They're made better by the fact that I hardly ever eat them (I couldn't possibly eat them all the time, I'd be a freakin' blimp). |

Customer service people who listen and make things happen.
DiGiorno prepackaged pastas & sauces. My car (hey, it's little!). Discovering some new-to-me thing that OSX can already do. Workers at the neighborhood stores. Whatever that drink was that the bartender in NYC made for me when I requested "something that you'd like to make". Finding even more obscure references in old episodes of the Simpsons. Having a big picture window. |

Wow, I have so much more to contribute to this thread than the other one...
First that comes to mind is: Waking up at 4 in the morning feeling well-rested, and getting lots of stuff done before sunrise. Surfing wirelessly in bed. My 2 babies, Bob and Charley (look at my profile pic). Making something do more than everybody thinks is possible (iBook spanning hack). Finding extra change in vending machine coin return slots. Sleeping under a half-dozen blankets with the heat off (55° in bedroom). Snuggling with the iBook, guinea pigs, and hot tea simultaneously. Getting all homework done during school hours (as opposed to at home) every day. More to come... You ask me for a hamburger. |

I thought you were all some sick bastards for a second there.... I thought I had clicked on the "annoying things" thread and people were saying stuff like having 6 hours left before having to get up, finding out it's the first day of summer, etc. I thought "damn, these are some sick fucks."

Finishing a long book that you've been struggling through, and not being disappointed with the ending. Going for a walk after a day's long rain during spring or autumn. Getting a compliment for anything you've cooked from scratch. Finding a nice shirt in the back of your closet that you'd forgotten about, but it still fits, and still looks good. Good mixtapes. Catching something particularly cool on PBS by complete accident. |

Really, really flat landscapes. Getting whiskey drunk. Washing my face after a long day. Sitting down with a long distance friend for a face-to-face talk. My mom's afghans.

That's a felony in seven states, isn't it?
Even I don't remember this thread and I'm the one who started it. One fit for the season: 100 Grand Bars, to be swiped early and often from the Halloween stash. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

What a feeling of freedom, to know that I wasn't trapped anymore against my will. I really, really, *REALLY* don't like being forced into any situation against my will. So, being released into the world again was a wondrous feeling. Quote:
This is a bittersweet feeling, because of course it 'will' end; but it's nice to savor the pleasure for as long as possible. Quote:

I don't remember this thread either, Moogs; but it's a good one. I love seeing the small things that give people such pleasure. I have plenty of those, if only I can remember a few. - When in my hillside beach-cottage rental in Oregon, I would sit at the table near the wrap-around windows and play a few hands of solitaire, while watching the morning or evening fog obscuring everything below. A small red neon sign was the only thing that would show through the fog. (It belonged to a tiny gourmet cafe where I loved to have *absolutely-to-die-for* grilled Chilean sea bass dinners. Mmmm, yum!). But I felt so warm and cozy in my little cottage, in contrast with all the shivery cold and damp outside, all along the Pacific Northwest coast. Ahhh, lovely. |

A big bowl of mashed potato with parsley and lots of cracked black pepper - the ultimate in comfort food.
Roasted garlic. Catching the dog trying to twist around in an effort to smell one of his own farts. Doing a random act of kindness. Receiving a random act of kindness. The start-up chime after attempting a computer fix yourself and getting it right (sweetest sound in the world). Foot massages. Sneezing. |

Rediscovering an old song from your earlier years that never would of thought of buying/downloading.
Waking up early and not being tired. Laughing until you cry, especially over a random YouTube video or something similar. Walking downtown in a small town around midnight/1 am with your best friends just for the fun of it. Unboxing new gadgets. Finding money in the pockets of pants/jackets you haven't worn in ages. And finally, the best little thing of all: flirting. =] |

I was going to post this in the videos thread but then I realized it might better fit here. Partly because this is one of those "big things" as kid, that as you get older and gain perspective, is just a little moment that these kids will always have to laugh about. (Suspending them would be a crime - they definitely deserve punishment but I think 30 hours of community service at the local shelter or whatever is a much better one).
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8014324.stm This is surely the most classic school prank in recorded history. Just when I'm ready to give up on America's youth as a bunch of apathetic retards, you get some truly creative-minded, ingenious-but-non-destructive kids (they could've just trashed the rooms if they were like most dumb-ass teenage pranksters)... with a pretty great sense of humor. The best part of all is that this took some planning and some *work*. This isn't spray-painting a wall... these kids had to actually hoof it quite a bit to make this thing a reality. Pranks that require planning and work, not destroying things for the sake of rebelling / destroying. Now that's quality! American ingenuity FTW. There is hope, obi-wan! ...into the light of a dark black night. |

Extra bonus points for the arrangement of the furniture. It wasn't taken up to the roof and just placed randomly.

Vegan Milky Ways.
It's been 8 years since I had a Milky Way thanks to my digestion and dairy being mutually apathetic. I used to absolutely adore them, with their rich sweet caramel and fluffy nougat. This bar has even more caramel (and it's soooooo thick and sweet) than the original. I couldn't resist the urge to lick the caramel over and over. It is so amazing to finally have a non-allergenic version of a treat that used to be such a big deal to me when I was little. Now, if they were only not $2.25 a bar. *sigh* "A blind, deaf, comatose, lobotomy patient could feel my anger!" - Darth Baras twitter ; amateur photographer ; fanfiction writer ; roleplayer and worldbuilder |

Crisp, tart, dry apple cider. Hard to find. Most of the stuff sold here in North America is sweet and not good. But if you can find the real stuff, it is wonderful.
