[zissou]

Hey, can I just say that I love this thread, everyone that posts in it, and everyone that likes and hearts everyone else's posts here?
The vibes in here are just wonderful. Have some pixel cake, everyone.

⬥ I’m happy because I have a team for the trivia task.
⬥ I’m off work tonight so I had the chance to sleep in and play video games.
⬥ I’m seeing my favorite chocolate lab tonight, Keagan.
⬥ I finished a few entries for the event that were approved.
⬥ I get paid from my job in a few days and I’m excited for that.

I guess I am happy that I spoke to my a therapist about what happened these past 2 weeks. The best advice he told me is that "No matter what you think or how you feel about stuff, you're always going to have people who strongly disagree with you, not because you're a bad person but they view things differently than you. Even though you weren't trying to offend anyone there is always those group of people who would always be put off by what you say"

I sometimes have to remember this because I let my emotions get the best of me and I say or do things that I don't normally do. My life is so complicated these days. I guess this is only thing that makes me happy is only seeing my therapist because he's the only one who actually understands what I am going through.

Today I'm happy because:

- My second entry was accepted. That's all I can do for now because I don't own ACNH but I'm looking forward to the next set of tasks.
- I bought a pretty winter backdrop and I'm loving it even more than I thought I would.
- I finally updated my signature to fit my Grinchy theme.
- One of my husband's presents that I ordered for Christmas arrived today.
- My dog cuddled with me on the couch this evening.

My semester finished last week and I just submitted my grad school application tonight. Now, I can take a break from anything school related until next month and just enjoy the holidays

I know how you feel. I no longer own New Horizons, so I’m unable to participate in the tasks requiring the game. It’s a shame because those tasks seem like fun, but I am following the threads to see what others are creating! I’m glad there are tasks we can do without the game, so it isn’t all bad. I’m just happy the Staff are taking into consideration that some people may not have the game or no longer have the game. I’m still having fun with the event despite not having the game.

I had a pretty relaxing day while still getting a lot done. No complaints here. I helped my family set up our Christmas tree as well. I’m also glad to be there for the people I care about when they aren’t feeling well.

Yes, I'm very happy that the staff always have a variety of events for us that take things like that into account. I'm just hoping that I'll be able to get to 400 silver bells without needing the game, but knowing how much consideration they've taken of things like that in the past, I'm not expecting it to be an issue as long as I keep up with everything else that I am able to do.

I'm also loving all the other entries. It's so fun to see what everyone else creates.

☾ Feeling massively relieved that a situation that's been stressing me out for a couple days wasn't as bad as I was afraid it was.
☾ Finished my first friendship ending in Dairoku! It was very cute and very low-conflict, and I am very happy. Looking forward to reading my other fave's friendship ending too!
☾ Got to watch some more Shaman King with my mom, and we're almost through decorating the Christmas tree!
☾ Had some sautéed kale as part of dinner and it was really good. ;u; I don't think I'm even that big a fan of the kale itself, per se, but I definitely appreciate it as a vehicle for balsamic vinegar.

 

[Midoriya]

Also just happy tonight because I went through everyone’s Christmas event submissions and everyone is sooooo creative!! I’m positively gushing with Christmas joy right about now.

Now excuse me while I go drink some water and let my arm and hand become un-numb from love reacting so many posts.

After venting a bit in the What's Bothering you thread I figured I'd come here and balance out with some positivity.

I just got my team for the Tucker's Toasty Tavern Trivia finalized today. I'm surprised everyone wanted to join up so quickly. I look forward to working with friends and people I haven't interacted with before alike.

I know it's not for another couple weeks but I really appreciate everyone wanting to work together even though we may or may not know each other.

So yeah shoutout to @Croconaw @Midoriya @KittenNoir and @Rhea for making my day.

I've been having a really really tough week with a bad illness and a lot of issues with my sister, but today I went into uni for the first time in a while (I was off sick earlier in the week) and it cheered me up a lot. It was the last day of the semester, I saw my friends and classmates, and managed to finish off the essay I had due for Friday at the library!

I also chose a new laptop that my parents are planning to give me for my Christmas present this year. Had to get one because my current laptop's memory/storage is garbage and it keeps crashing the internet and not allowing me to save any files or have any internet history. Never buy a 32gb laptop lol. Anyway my new one should have much more storage, and it's in a colour I like,,

Some of this is really from throughout the last month rather then just today but I finally have some spare time to sit down and write it out

• Christmas/TBT Event - really happy to be at my favourite time of the year and with all gifts sorted now I can concentrate on spending time with family and enjoying everything festive. Also really love the TBT Holiday Market, along with all the new and old collectibles, the events are all really enjoyable and I'm happy that there is plenty of time to complete everything! I'm very excited for the Tavern Trivia at the end of the month and can't wait to take part in it with my lovely team members ❤
• I've recently been playing a lot of Pokemon with my oldest brother (Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl) which has been a lot of fun and we've been able to easily trade with one another to help each other complete our Pokedex. Also had a visit from my sister last night which I was very pleased about, was lovely getting to catch up with her and we had a good laugh playing some Mario Kart together
• Finally, I picked up some new family members last month - Lola and Oliver, two little Ragdoll siblings - we'd only initially planned to pick up Lola but in the end we chose to take Oliver too because I have no willpower and I'm so happy that we did, they're a lovely, friendly pair (Oliver loves sleeping on people), who've settled in really well and have bonded with my other cats and dogs, and put a smile on everyones face. I've added some pics of them in the spoiler (there are quite a few!) - Oliver is the darker, larger one and Lola is the lighter, smaller one

Spoiler: Kitty Pics

I'm happy that today was my last day of work for 2021! Now I get to just relax and chill out for 20 days before going back to work in 2022.

⬥ My little cousin who is twelve was saving her allowance and wants to buy me hockey merch with it. I wasn’t expecting that kind of gesture at twelve so it’s honestly nice to see. She’s a good person.
⬥ Work is going by smoothly tonight. I’m still here, but everything is going well so far. I’m done in about an hour and a half.
⬥ I’m off tomorrow, so I think I’ll stay up a bit and play my hockey game.

 

[Jhine7]

Happy today realizing that I’ve been engaged for exactly 6 months now! Only 10 months and 1 day to go

 

[LadyDestani]

Today I'm happy because:

- I completed another task and earned some more Silver Bells in the event.
- I received my mother-in-law's Christmas present in the mail today.
- I had a good massage and have been feeling more relaxed since then.
- My mom called me with an issue and I haven't let it stress me out too much.

Some things made me happy, especially for the last point!

• Feel free to skip this point.

Spoiler: Me talking about cars again lol

After I dropped off my sister at school, I spotted a Mazda RX-7 (FD) parked on the side of the street! It made me REALLY happy to see it because I was wondering if I'll ever get to see it at all. What's interesting about this car is that it uses a rotary engine compared to a typical piston engine.

Another one I've spotted is a Nissan PAO. To be honest, I saw this back in summer when I went biking, but I couldn't exactly put my finger on it at the time since I forgot the name. Thankfully, I remembered where it was parked and found it once again in a neighbourhood, and had a good look at it to make sure I wasn't hallucinating lol. What's even better is that it's only a few blocks away from where I live, so I sometimes see it a couple of times. In fact, the one time when I drove the Nissan PAO in Gran Turismo 6 (yes, it's also in the game) and went outside to take out the garbage a little while after, I then see the said car passing through. What a timely coincidence, and I hope the owner takes good care of it since it's quite an obscure car. The design looks unique and feels as if it was only a toy, but it's an actual functioning car.

• I played New Leaf on my 3DS and was treated with snowfall while 5PM was playing. Goodness, I haven't heard that in a long while! I also managed to play a round of hide and seek with Deirdre, Gruff, and Bones!
• Made some more progress on shading my art, though I should consider leaving it aside temporarily and start working on things for the TBT holiday event lol.
• Speaking of the TBT holiday event, I got to team up with four other people for Tucker's Toasty Tavern Trivia event. That's one less thing to worry about, and I'm excited to be working with them!
• Did the first round of Skye Spies and completed it. Despite a couple of items being a challenge to find, it's still pretty fun to do!... I can't be the only one who spotted a random person in the back wearing a paper bag on their head, right?
• On the forum near the top bar, I noticed that I can view my 'watched' threads. When I clicked on it, a couple of threads from Camp TBT came up. So I clicked on it and was able to view it (aside from making a post, obviously). Eventually, I was able to backtrack and see all the threads made in the Poliwags Cabin (the team I was in). I thought those threads were gone forever, so I went beyond by clicking on 'find threads' and then 'threads with your posts' (unfortunately, I couldn't find any relating to TBTWC). After a little more digging I was able to find more threads relating to Camp TBT where I can see pretty much everyone's creations. Honestly, I almost wanted to cry not because I was sad, but because I'm glad I joined the event and made awesome memories. Those in the Poliwag Cabin would know the struggle we suffered in Wildlife Spotting clue #2 LOL. So if you ever want to look back at Camp TBT memories, do what I did and prepare to cry with happiness. Mods, if you see this, please don't thanos snap those threads. It's something to be treasured for a long time.
