Tagged for this one, by [Bad username or site: wickedgoddess_ / @ livejournal.com]: Ten Things That Make Me Happy

(Every time this meme comes around, I think of Gaiman's 15 Portraits of Despair and that girl who decides to make a list of things that make her happy...and finds the day growing dark around her as she tries to think of more than one thing.)

+ Gates opening 2 hours before first pitch.
+ Family, more or less.
+ Finding a new song I just adore, and listening to it over and over and over again.
+ A good book.
+ Unexpected mail. (Well, unexpected mail from people I'm still in touch with. When I get mail from someone I haven't spoken to in ages, it just makes me feel like an asshole.)
+ Three Witches being back long enough for me to stock up.
+ Thank God I'm A Country Boy during the 7th inning stretch. Also, the confused look out-of-towners get on their faces when we all launch into it. Heh.
+ The rare tv show with a grand, arcing storyline I can get totally caught up in.
+ Quotes. I'm always jotting things down on napkins or in the margins of notebooks, etc.
+ Getting in and staying in an iconing groove. It's not exactly mindless work, but I like fiddling with pictures when I need a break from school stuff. Plus, I've always wished I had an eye for drawing or photography, and I don't - but Photoshop lets me pretend to be something of a composer of images ^_~

And, in for a penny, in for a pound, right? From [Bad username or site: bakoo / @ livejournal.com], via [Bad username or site: offspeed / @ livejournal.com]:

Spring Training in T-52 days. That prolly should have been on the list of things that make me happy.
