Why so grim, Escapist?

[Jiggabyte]

"Childhood nightmares"? "Worst pain you've ever been through?" "Girl bullied to death"? This is all a bit grim, isn't it?
Come on, Escapist. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and it's all doom and gloom in Off-topic Discussion? We need to sort this out.
This is a thread for you all to post the lovely, wonderful things in life. Post something happy and cheery to offset this rather gloomy shadow cast over the forums. After all, in the words of Eric Idle...

Hush. Lower your voice. We are mourning the deaths of our real lives as those waste away into the featureless dark of the internet.

I always think of this song after a particularly hard day. Helps keep things in perspective.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Yeah, the number of really uneasy topics freaks me out, too.
So, hooray, cheer up, everyone.

Oh, and The Internet is Serious Business. As is maturity.

I think you just won this thread.

I knew I'd get this sort of thing as a first post.
To this I say: "WHISKERS ON KITTENS"

 

[SextusMaximus]

Hell, I'm cheery as fuck!

I may not have slept, but damn it, I'm listening to Alestorm, I'm reading Cracked.com and posting on here. I have nothing to worry about, plus, my copy of Timesplitters FP arrives today!

I'm a happy chappy.

YOU HAVE EMOTIONS?

OT: I have Beatles Rock Band, and I've not listened to Beatles ever since my old laptop broke! I'm chuffed!

I have an assignment due tomorrow, i have less than 200 words left. But by god I'd rather gouge my own eyes out than bring myself to do it. No time for smiles. *sad face*

March Mayhem has brought out the worst in us. We are slowly getting over it after Valve's triumphant victory.

 

[Axeli]

Change your avatar dude. Too much yellow.

And smiling.

 

[Contun]

I'm too manly for feelings. 'Nuff said.....

Queen's so Awesome.​

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Cheerful? What do you think is? This is the internet boy. It's serious business.

Kittens, mmmmmmm tasty.

Well at least be glad that the Escapist opened up a "Religion & Politics" section. Take a look in there and then imagine if all those threads were mixed in with the off-topic discussion forum. That's what it used to be like...

Also, what always cheers me up is this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxoE2az9mJM]

When you're feeling down, put your Bowie on!

OT: I'll tell you why the Escapist is grim.

I'm busy playing Heartgold, and everyone misses me!

 

[Abedeus]

It's cloudy and raining, birds are too loud and you are too happy. Away with you.

 

[tzimize]

Another awesome song of monty python is the galaxy song. Youtube it, its fantastic.

 

[Contun]

Maybe the escapist just hates puppies, kittens, children, candies and rainbows?
Bloody pessimists

But.... I-I love puppies.

[ethaninja]

Ah I feel much better now. But then I turn on the news and I feel sad again =(

 

[Sleekgiant]
