ow!...things that make you want to say bad words...

(1) sprained ankles. i've had lots. and they hurt. like now.

(2) when it's @$#%$& hot in your apartment and the a/c won't work right. (also, when your roommates don't even turn it on, which is why it then doesn't work...)

(3) when you watch a movie and it's really stupid, but you want to see how it turns out so you watch the whole thing, and it never gets better, and you wish you hadn't. or, when you don't care how it turns out, but you're watching it with friends and don't want to be the party pooper if they like it, but they don't either, so you really should have ditched the dumbness and done something...anything...else

(4) when your sprained ankle hurts and pushes other thoughts out of your mind.

but then there are always good things too...

(1) people who go far away, but then come back. that is happy.

(2) people you don't even know who make you laugh and whom you can talk to so easily that it takes you forever to say goodbye.

(3) when you feel smart for little tiny things, like proper usage of the word whom.

(4) cheap stuff. not crappy stuff, but things that are quality for small amounts of money. like stuff on sale. like, especially at this week's "semi-annual sale" (nudges and winks)

(5) free stuff. especially life necessities like food. especially good food like jamba. yum.

(6) singing in the shower or car.

(7) singing in the car with a friend. (i put that in it's own number in order to avoid confusion about singing in the shower with a friend...scandalous!)

(8) summer nights where it isn't humid so that it actually gets cooler at night. so refreshing and invigorating.

so, i successfully put twice as many happy things as bad things. *sigh* oh, good.
