Sing for joy

[vovat]

I had a dream where I was back in what must have been high school, and I was carrying around a stack of my sister's magazines so I could cut them up for some project. There were magazines lying around in a few classrooms, so I accidentally added them to the pile. When I reached my last class, I had a bunch of magazines that weren't mine, and I decided I'd have to find a lost and found or something. I also was apparently way behind on my reading for one of my classes, and final exams were coming up.

10 things that bring me a moment of joy (taken from zaph):

1. Hearing the beginning of a song I really enjoy.
2. Along the same lines, coming across a song by an artist I love on the radio (as rare as that is).
3. Receiving comments on my LiveJournal posts, and replies to the comments I leave for other people.
4. Getting a new book to read, especially in a series I like.
5. Being able to lie down when I'm tired.
6. Realizing that I'm temporarily free from obligations.
7. Taking the first bite of a piece of pizza, or other food that I love.
8. Finally finishing something that had taken a lot of time.
9. Finding out that the new e-mail I've gotten is actually something interesting for a change.
10. Daydreaming.

By the way, I don't mean to be pushy, but more people should take my survey. I mean, I guess four people already having taken it is pretty good, but I know there are other people on my friends list who constantly take surveys and do memes written by cyphers whose identities have been lost in the mists of time, yet they're ignoring mine. What gives?

Comments

i have a feeling that last comment was directed at me :P And the answer is: I just got back from vacation, and I was too tired to do a meme last night. but i'm TOTALLY DOING IT RIGHT NOW. so have no fear :)

I know what you mean about comments. It's almost pathetic how happy getting comments makes me. Sometimes I reply to someone's comment, then come back and think it's something new, so i get all excited...but then it's just me :(

It wasn't directed at anyone in particular, but I DID think you would probably be one of the first people to take the survey, considering your history with memes and such.

i would have done it immediately if i hadn't been on vacation. because not only is it a meme, but it's a COOL meme.

Well, thanks! I think that's about the only thing I've ever done that anyone has called "cool."

Hah, I do that. Too, I mean.

I usually don't bother checking comments on my own posts until I get an e-mail notification that there's something new.

[rockinlibrarian.livejournal.com]

Well, the good news is one of MY friends did your survey after I did it, which means it's possibly being PASSED ONWARD...!

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Hooray! I was hoping something like that would happen. Maybe eventually I'll see it surface in the least expected place.

3. Receiving comments on my LiveJournal posts, and replies to the comments I leave for other people.

Yep. I get all happy about that too.

Nice 10 moments of joy. I took your survey! I've been noticing increasingly that certain posts don't seem to appear on my friends list. I may have to start individually going to the journals I always read.

I'm pretty sure that's happened to me before, albeit rarely. I have no idea what would cause that, and I generally wouldn't have a way to realize it.
