I guess there isn't too many emotions you can experience, but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Mostly I just like to be silly, which I guess is a happy emotion. But coming second and I don't really know why, I seem to enjoy being melancholy. Its almost like its cathartic or something. Like watching a sad movie puts me more in touch with my, erm, inner self or some shit.

Third is just being boring serious/analytic, which I guess isnt really an emotion, but state of mind..

Explain yours!

Relief and accomplishment. Just knowing that I've accomplished something, it's done, it's over. The pinnacle of that was walking out of school on my last day. Knowing that I'd finished and I never had to go back was about the most awesome feeling I've ever had.

malachite · 6th Nov 2009, 05:39 AM

comtentment, because I so rarely feel it.

Just Adam · 6th Nov 2009, 05:45 AM

sorrow - its teh easiest thing to feel.

Pseudojim · 6th Nov 2009, 06:19 AM

love! Surely!!! it's the most endorphin releasing thing for me!

6th Nov 2009, 01:34 PM

Giddiness (in the sense of euphoria) ^_^ In my opinion, it's better than being high.

Black Cat · 6th Nov 2009, 02:07 PM

Pride would have to be my favorite. More specifically a sense of self accomplishment in something I've achieved. I so rarely feel like anything I do is worth much, so when I feel like I did something right there is no stopping me.

kettleoffish · 6th Nov 2009, 02:17 PM

I'd settle for happy.. It's been too long.

Janvier · 11th Nov 2009, 04:00 PM

Comprehension - I just love that 'Ahh so THATS what it is' feeling, especially when producing.

Totoro · 11th Nov 2009, 04:36 PM

Happiness or relief i guess o_o

11th Nov 2009, 04:43 PM

Sadness- it reminds me that I'm alive and have a heart.

stratavos · 11th Nov 2009, 08:40 PM

content because it means that there's nothing to complain about (or that it doesn't matter enough to be mentioned)

11th Nov 2009, 08:42 PM

I'm going to have to be a soppy loon and say love becasue I am a completely and utterly hopeless romantic

RaeofLite · 11th Nov 2009, 09:07 PM

That giddy feeling (after a good runner's high or when you meet someone or are in the first stages of falling in love and feel ready to take on the world)

starfish · 11th Nov 2009, 09:17 PM

Well it is a strong tie between:

That feeling you get when you have been working on a problem for a long time and you don't think you ever fix it. Then you finish that last bit and everything works.

That feeling I get from the sound of my car. The sound of the overrun and then the rasp of the engine as the revs climb through 3500 RPM. And if I happen to be under a bridge or a tunnel. It is almost orgasmic.

Pseudojim · 12th Nov 2009, 03:49 AM

a mixture of contentment and love for me is what does it. Better than any orgasm.

19rockr · 13th Nov 2009, 05:32 AM

LOVE...DUH! I love to love for love itself...the endorphin is good to me...need I say more?

Z3ni · 13th Nov 2009, 06:01 AM

That I don't care about what people think about me feeling and that.. unexplainable feeeling I can't explain D:
