    I'm usually happy when others are happy. I always try to help my friends when they need help, and I love to give money to charities. my friends think i'm crazy giving sooo much to charity all the time, but i know it does a lot of good. I'm also going into college so i can hopefully design and build children hospitals that are not scary and uncomfortable. I want people to be happy and hopeful when they go to hospitals rather than feel intimidated and scared.

    That is a sum up of what makes me happy. I want to know what makes everyone else happy.

    I like knowing if and when i have helped other people. :slight_smile:

    For me it is probably when i am able to act myself without people caring. I can only really do that around my cousins because they're the ones who just laugh along. I very rarely act myself 100% in front of my friends or family. I don't try and act like somebody i am not, it's just the way i act is a lot tamer than my usual self. When i am meeting new people i like to get to know them first and know my limits before i start pissing about. :grin:

    But yeah, that probably sounds really lame. :astonished:

    I'm happy when me and some really great friends are just having fun together. We can be doing almost anything, but as long as we're all laughing, I'm happy.

    Exactly with me. Friends are like my life right now, we have our own little circle that we've known since freshman year and we always hang out

    I feel really happy when all my kids are around. We're always goofing off and making jokes. Sometimes Adam says something that is just over the top and I end up laughing for an hour. So it was really fun when they were all here for Christmas and I'm really missing them now. Coming here to EC makes me happy because I think you guys are just awesome! Doing my PFLAG stuff makes me happy because I think its truly for a good cause. My daycare kiddos are always doing something to make me laugh too.

    Number one would definitely be hanging out with friends. Especially my best friend, because she makes me so incredibly hysterical and we've evolved so that we have pretty much the same mind.

    Another is just dancing in my room to any amazing techno song, usually featured on Queer as Folk, and taking joy in the fact that no one's watching.

    Also, talking about what I know feels so good. When ranting about politics, discussing classics, or tutoring my friends in calculus, I feel such a rush just being in my element. Same goes for theatre, just doing something that comes naturally is amazing.

    And lastly, my family. Lately they've been bugging me a bit more, but I know that we'll always love each other and spending time with people like that makes me feel happy.

    I'm happy most of the time, granted I slept well.

    But, being with my friends is always a mood booster

    Having that one person, that one person that is so perfect in my eyes, that person that shows me attention, that accepts me for who I am, the person who will stand by me through my stupidness and my hardships, that one person I can love and be loved! THAT is what makes me happy!
