(ignant in the sense that he wasn't trying to be "bootiful.")

Coffee and ramen for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Coffee and ramen for breakfast/lunch/dinner is not my definition of joy.

Sean, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Driving. My grandfather was a truck driver. It's in the blood.

bnw, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I say Di has us all beat, and we should worship. Oh yes. But Ally's is very nice too. :-)

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I like Hanley's, actually. Unless he's talking about periods, which are NOT joyful at all.

Ally, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

my friend Kirsten brings me joy. Today is her birthday and I love her so much, it feels like its my birthday too.

rainy, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sunday afternoons. Where we lie in be d, read the papers and eat various bread products

speaking of periods, if you could take a pill to not have them at all would you?

Pennysong Hanle y, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

buttocks.

and...coffee, sunshine, pearly fingernails, songs with clapping in them, polaroids, diamonds, my haircut, cheap plastic accessories, beer, cherries, b minor, making large photographs, striped pajamas, things that make a deep booming noise, and small ugly boats.

and porridge.

Driving somewhere when I am in no hurry--listening to the oldies station on the way.

Ooh and mail. Packages. Anticipating them.

Eating indian food!

Sitting on my porch and smoking parliament lights.

speaking of periods, if you could take a pill to not have them at all would you?

YES. Now that would be true joy.

Ally, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

You dont need a pill, just a quick operation, its called a sex change. Theres lots of other bonuses aswell.

Ronan, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Like what? Being a bloke? Aye right.

Ally, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

True I suppose, you'd have to deal with the perpetual mysteries that operate the female mind.

Ronan, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

and: being a girl, my walkman with it's beautiful silver headphones, peaches, my guitar.

rainy, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My daughter. Easy question.

Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:53 (sixteen years ago) link

I act like a fuckhead and "forgive" myself for it.

dell, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:54 (sixteen years ago) link

haha i do that a lot.

my kitty!

Surmounter, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, cats are pretty amazing. I will co-habitate with one again before this lifetime is over.

dell, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link

yes. i spent too many years without one and now i just can't imagine. esp when you have the right one... so loving, trusting, and comforting. ::tear::

Surmounter, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 20:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, they are sweethearts. Not to mention that looking after an animal or plant is always good for the soul...

dell, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 20:24 (sixteen years ago) link

definitely. i need more plants!

Surmounter, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 21:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Me too... one of those New Year's resolutions which shockingly, incredibly, I have not made good on as of yet.

Mold growing inside yet-to-be-discarded tamato (intentionally-misspelled) sauce jar (because landlords apparently do not understand recycling, wtf?)
probably does not count as houseplant.

dell, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 22:30 (sixteen years ago) link

fourteen years pass...

homemade oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips and golden raisins

(eating one rn, joy confirmed)

Damn, those sound excellent.

Hiking with my adult sons, even though they have to wait for me to catch up every mile or so.

Waking up in a tent in the woods, to a day when I have no responsibility for anything but my own well-being. It feels like heaven on earth.
