The small things in life

[Launcelot111]

I like when it's winter and I wake up and my room is somewhere in the 40s because I like having the windows open in the winter and everything is terrifyingly cold except for the perfect cocoon of warmth that I've constructed. My favorite time is the two minutes I give myself to stay in my cocoon and mock the cold until I have to get up and actually do things. Sometimes if I don't have anything to do, I'll take my shower then come back and lie there some more and soak in the cold and shiver myself up to a better temperature for several minutes before getting dressed. I'm very of a "mind over matter" mindset with the cold, but my matter often disagrees with me. Still, I love it.

Sitting in my comfy chair in my room listening to Beethoven. That always makes me happy and content. It somewhat helps when I'm depressed as well.

 

[tombman888]

Hot Shower, definitely.

Along with that a bag of M&M's, an episode of whatever TV show i'm currently watching, and a blanket if its cold, and i instantly feel better.

Or videogames, the old reliable fallback for anything.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

A hot shower followed by a nice cool quiet night drive as I head to work.

No more will I have a wallet full of pennies because so much stuff has .99p at the end of it.

i guess you would be in heaven here in finland, cos we don't use 1 or 2 cent coins(smallest being 5 cents)

OT: i guess sitting down in my leather chair in front of a computer screen, and playing some games... or music...

 

[CrazyJew]

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

When I'm having a down day, I like to go to my local mall with a few friends and mercilessly make fun of the teenagers in their cliques. I can't help but smile while belittling the filth of America.

Oh, and weed. Weed is good too.

 

[CleverNickname]

some extra-epic film or game music

or a good long wank

I knew this thread wouldn't stay classy for long.

Thanks for ruining it

You're quite welcome

I was surprised it hadn't been posted right away. And it is free, easy and healthy.

 

[Yuno Gasai]

A hot shower and a hot cup of tea.

I think this is the first time I've ever been ninja'd by the OP. ;_;

But yeah, tea and hot showers are my go-to quick fixes when I feel stressed or down. c:

Ponies and video games usually follow quite promptly.

 

[Don Savik]

Laughing at the misfortunes of others...and chocolate and large amounts of soda.

It quickly fades though...

 

[Musette]

For me, sometimes a bright blue sky and a gentle breeze is all it takes for me to enjoy life.


Technically, practicing music can make me feel just wonderful, but that is more than just a small part of my life.

Hot Shower
A Good Book
A Cigarette in a relaxing chair
A good Whiskey
A pint of Guinness in a quiet pub
Waking up at 6 in the morning, then going back to sleep till 8

 

[DugMachine]

Sitting outside with a nice book, smoking a cigarette and drinking an ice cold Coca-Cola.... oooooh yeah. I'm gonna do that today .

Hot showers are really nice too and my morning coffee.

Really good cheesecake takes me to a whole other world, man.

 

[Crazy Zaul]

How is Iron Bru any different/better than fanta or any other orangeade stuff?

OT: Sleep I guess.

 

[deathninja]

A nice glass of red and a calculus textbook.

 

[tzimize]

I'd say sitting and having a nice long think can chill me out.

In an ideal future, sitting in front on an open fire on my sofa with my loyal golden retriever, wrapped in a blanket and drinking hot chocolate. Seems old fashioned but it'd be so damn relaxing.

How the hell does a long think chill you out? :S

I'd love to learn that. The only thing I get out of thinking is frustration and worry :<

OT: Chocolate. Usually. Music sometimes.

 

[Will Bowes]

well said tea is awesome it can make the impossible possible also bickeys their also important

 

[Mr.PlanetEater]

A nice, cold bottle of Irn Bru. Nothing beats it.

The Scots were bound to get something right eventually.

And it just happened to be the best damn soft drink in the universe

Irn Bru sure is the best soft drink ever. I love that stuff. I'm pretty sure in my second year of uni I single handedly helped Barr meet it's sales forecasts.

Curse you two for getting me intrigued enough to seek out this fabled drink only to find they don't sell it in Utah. ;-;

For me I always find joy in a nice long shower after a good hike. :3

Every other Wednesday the teachers at my school have meetings in the morning, so we get to come in at the start of second hour instead of first. 40 extra minutes of sleep may not sound like much, but when school normally starts at 7 in the morning every minute counts

My cat too, she's cute.

Oh and the extended battery for my 3DS. One of the Nyko ones that lengthens the battery life to closer to 10 hours rather than 3. Makes a big difference to me since I HATE having to plug into the wall.

 

[DkLnBr]

Cold beer or Coca-Cola after a long day or after I finish a labour intensive project. Turns something good into the nectar of the gods. But that hot shower idea sounds good.... excuse me me, I'll be right back
