things which make me inexplicably happy

• the reappearance in town of much-missed friends
  
• good, raucous, fun shows
  
• audience participation
  
• giving people good news about their upcoming vacations (particularly when the news comes courtesy of another friend)
  
• finding out that all of my fretting over a certain song was for nought, because the subject found it not intrusive, but mad sexy (!)
  
• toast and avocado at 2am
  
• vacation days. even if they're spent at the DMV.
  
• planning the party of the season
  
• the little owl's plan for total world domination.
  
• autumn. which means boots, corduroy, leather and tweed
  
• not being the one who has to bolt out of the house at hell-o-clock in the morning, but instead being the one who gets to make the coffee and lounge in pajamas and kiss someone goodbye. it's not quite for everyday wear, but it's really pleasing once in a while.
  
• pizza and wine (which is apparently a very me combination) with the girls
  
• not being at work.
  
• finding out that someone is going to give their child my name, because they think it's so darn pretty. that just rocks my face, despite my pathological fear of infants.
