It’s been a while since I did a happy post anywhere. This is not a happy thing.
So, yes. Happiness. More of it needs spreading. Well, my life would appreciate it, and it seems that of many around me. I wish I could fix it. But hey ho.
Things:
1. E-mails with kittens in. Recently, I got a new e-mail address for my role as Southern FURY Rep. Which was lovely, but I thought I ought to let folk know that I’d gotten in to the system and that e-mails from it were working. So I sent a message out containing some kittens. AND THE URC BLOCKS KITTENS. Although, on checking later, I did discover that one can get around it and so still have kittens, the thought of kittens being absent from my world filled me with woe and despair. BECAUSE KITTENS ARE A HAPPY THING. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t be as overjoyed as me to receive kittens in their inbox/general world.
2. On a similar note: Inbred cats.
3. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve had a new descant recorder. It cost me all of two pounds (yes, I know), and is rather excitingly stripey. This has been a source of some amusement. It was rather more amusing, however, when I turned up at morris practice on Tuesday for Jax (our box player) to tell me I’d a present. It was splendid. She’d got me some nail polish, so that I can paint my nails to match the stripes on my recorder. It was a sight to behold (even if I am naff at both nails and painting them).
4. The humble donkra. Continuing the small animals thing – how awesome are these? I came upon these recently, and whilst I am not swayed from my deep love of zebras, this is definitely a thing of wonder.
5. Intercontinental, multiplayer, skype-QWOPing. This was a thing that happened whilst on skype with Jane and Dabbs a couple weeks ago. If you don’t know QWOP, it is the most addictive. And also the most horrendously difficult. It’s also consumed far more of my life than it probably should. Again, this is something I recently got back into, and my current PB is 30.2 – I’m set on getting to the 100m mark. But will probably get there and be so shocked that I fall over and only hit 99.8. Such is life.
6. Discovering things! For example, this old song:
Actually, everything by Great Big Sea. They are one of my very favourites and I found my them playlist and I was a very happy Nori indeed.
7. And this new song:
8. Knitted fingertaches. This is a thing. And dressing up.
9. Seeing things actually happen. Lots of things are being set in motion by people that I know, and they are wonderful things and they’re going to be so awesome. This makes me excited and happy. I like it when people make awesome happen. Particularly when it comes from nearly nothing. Myself, I’m rather proud of our SSYE blog, which we’ve formed up in the last couple of days with a couple of us moderating, and – yeah. I’m a bit proud. Not only of my MS Paint skillz.
