- Losing 4 lbs in the first week, which encourages me to believe I CAN do this
- Finally getting some decent coding done
- Good music, as always
- The random
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) seasleepy mention goes here, as determined by my d9 (8-)
- Cool new toys
- Getting some more reading done
- Cleaning up more of the apartment, so, it actually feels normal now (though, don't go into the two back rooms (8-) )
- Hanging up two very important signs: "To have success, one must risk failure. To have great success, one must risk great failure." and "Today is the first day of the rest of your life."
- A very, very, very, very cool map

But, since there was a recent spate of them, I figure it's time for me to give it a go again. Surely, after five or six months, I can come up with enough stuff for a new Happy List? (8-)
- Karaoke singing
- People thinking I'm actually a good enough musician to ask me to try and compose music
- Fun, interesting, or just plain weird conversations at 1am after Improv
- Building my first (and probably my last) UT2004 gamemap
- Discovering I can play the riff to Long Way Back Home
- New apartment, new kitchen, new life
- Non-trivial code that works the first time, no bugs
- seasleepy, as usual
The thing I must keep in mind (and probably express better in here) -- this is my rant space. As such, I rant in it, and it can create the impression of a rather negative outlook on life. That's the danger of opening a window into your life and your soul -- it's a look inside, but it's still a window. The things I deal with, for the most part, are just annoyances I go on about to prevent them from becoming major annoyances. In essence, this is my coping mechanism. Toss in a realistic outlook on the world, my usual chosen subject matter, and I can come across as a real negative sourpuss.
But the things I don't talk about, because I don't need to rant about them: I can go buy pizza if I want without worrying about the cost. I can eat chocolate any time I want. I have a little spare time to work on whatever hobby flavour of the month is demanding time. I have my health (well, mostly (8-)). I have good friends who pass the Mexican Phone Booth Test. I know interesting and fascinating people, who bring a little extra spice to my life. My job, outside of the political crap, is interesting, challenging, keeps me engaged and lets me work from home a good chunk of the time. I get to appreciate beauty, in it's many myriad of forms. There's somebody out there, God knows why, who loves me.
I get to play, sing, dance (carefully), love, smile and laugh.
This is a good life. Tags: happy list, philosophy
