1) I'm healthy
2) Good friends/relationships
3) Job I enjoy
4) House I enjoy

I can't really say "not sure". Theer's always room for improvement, tho.

I'm happy.

I was unhappy about something for a short while earlier this year, but I'm over all that now.

Short term: I'm pretty happy, yeah. Friday afternoon. Going to a LCD Soundsystem show tonight and then Nine Inch Nails on Sunday.

Long term: "not sure" - possible job insecurity, don't know if I'll be happy in this house I've just started to rent, don't know if I'm going to make any friends in this city, relationships: can't be single all my life or can I? etc.

I've been a lot happier more consistently lately than I've been in a long time. But I can never take these things for granted. It's kind of like the weather. So I put "not sure".

Going to a LCD Soundsystem show tonight

They were amazing last night. This made me very happy.

I hope I haven't tempted fate by saying "yes"

Some days madly happy, some days distraught (though I'm aware that it's irrational), and usually mildly dissatisfied and guilty for the ingratitude of that feeling. But still realizing how lucky I am and I may never have it this good again. So...not sure.

V. happy, thanks!

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 16 March 2007 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

the only way i could've been happier yesterday is if my moped had magically started working again and i had a gyros platter to eat. and then lo and behold BEN stops by after work, disassembles the throttle housing and finds out a cable just really needed to be lubricated (also helps release the choke from being stuck on). the thing ran good as new after that so i took it to the greek place for a GYROS PLATTER!

drunk. yes. happy. :D

― Roz, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

I'm dissatisfied.

― Rock Hardy, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

I'm pretty content and have been for about eight months or so. That's enough for me.

― Matt DC, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:36 (eighteen years ago)

I was sorta happy a few weeks ago, now not quite so. I can feel happy but then 'the rot' seems to set back in, and draws me back into 'the funk', not total misery or anything like that, more ennui and tetchiness. So, I say 'not sure', damn you 'the rot'!

― jel --, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

all thing considered, things are pretty great right now.

― Ed, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

I'm even happier now: LCD Soundsystem were amazing indeed!

― StanM, Friday, 16 March 2007 22:53 (eighteen years ago)

yes i'm happy. i was a little manic depressive these last two weeks but i'm back on an even keel now. the weather has been beautiful here lately and i've been taking walks all over town, enjoying the sunshine and the lovely smoggy air.

Had a bit of a headache yesterday and today, but now I'm totally happy again: Nine Inch Nails were verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry good - this is by far his best live band yet and the sparse lighting effects (strobes & UFOs) were very efficient. Thinking about going to see them again tomorrow (two shows in the same city = different setlist, probably), if I can find a ticket somewhere.

Oh, and I saw two Joy Division covers being played in the two shows I went to this weekend: on Friday LCD Soundsystem covered No Love Lost and tonight Nine Inch Nails played Dead Souls, both were great versions and both made me happier as well.

― StanM, Sunday, 18 March 2007 22:58 (eighteen years ago)

but now I have to go to bed because I have to work tomorrow: (happy - 1)

― StanM, Sunday, 18 March 2007 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah I'm pretty happy right now.

― Trayce, Sunday, 18 March 2007 23:04 (eighteen years ago)

What a treat! I don't think anything like that's happened with me, two separate covers of the same band within a couple of days.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 18 March 2007 23:08 (eighteen years ago)

i'd say i'm 70/30 lots of crappy things going on at the moment, but when i'm busy or with friends, i'm happy.

on Friday LCD Soundsystem covered No Love Lost

i was happy until i read this. now i'm consumed with jealousy. this i would LOVE TO HEAR. if anyone ever comes across a recording of this, you know where to find me. (note for the hard of thinking: here.)

anyway, yes ... i'm happy. or, rather, i'm content: obviously i'm not screamingly happy all the time, and i'd be troubled by someone who was, or claimed to be so; but contentment ... yeh, i think so.

i've been here before, i'm sure ... ah, here we are. all happiness is transitory and other cod-philosophical pearls of wisdom

― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 18 March 2007 23:29 (eighteen years ago)

Order, order....that's a perfectly good thread and question - not "cod philosophical pearls of wisdom"

― Bob Six, Monday, 19 March 2007 00:15 (eighteen years ago)

i'm surprised so many people are "not sure."

38.888% yes
29.629% no
27.777% not sure
3.703% don't think i understand

― lfam, Monday, 19 March 2007 00:21 (eighteen years ago)

If I'd voted I'd have gone for not sure.

When I look back I was happy in 1987, 1991 and 2000 - and I didn't even realise it at the time.

― Bob Six, Monday, 19 March 2007 00:27 (eighteen years ago)

sorry: i was referring specifically to my own post!

― grimly fiendish, Monday, 19 March 2007 23:24 (eighteen years ago)

i wld say am not sure too
it is confusing

there was a loud and gross tractor, a snow tractor, outside my window, which was making me unhappy, and when it left a moment ago, my level of happiness increased only v slightly, less than i would have thought. so, it is not tractors that are to blame here, but something else that existed before the tractor. it is probably me, that thing that exists, worrying about its own happiness when there are better things to do.

― rrrobyn, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:45 (eighteen years ago)

it is just sometimes hard to do those better things.
