Things that make me happy.

We're listing off happy-making things in Buffistas, so I thought I'd put my list in my LJ for posterity.


A By No Means Complete List Of Juliana's Happy Things

Dozing during a storm.

Running well.

Most angles of Downtown Minneapolis as I'm speeding on the freeways at night are so. damn. gorgeous. that I can't help but be happy.

Seeing a good performance (sports, acting, music).

The middle of striking a show, when everyone's in full swing and people are scrambling up and down ladders yelling "Cable dropping!" and everyone is just busy and joking around and looking forward to the first beer. I think it's the feeling of group effort and capability that gets me.

Curling up next to Zach under the warm covers.

Watching the cats play.

Planning our wedding together.

Laughing until tears are streaming down my cheeks and my stomach hurts.

Trying to keep it together onstage as Ari (Einstein) genteely mugs for the audience.

Watching actors crack up onstage.

Hosting parties.

Showing Eddie Izzard to people who get it.

Sitting with my friends and family, drinking and eating and laughing and talking.

Having friends all over the world.


So, what's yours?

Oh yes, this is sublime.

For me, it's the shiver I get when I read a stunning last line of a really great poem. It's incomparable to any other feeling I know, and I couldn't live without it.

Oh, that's good too.

We have a lot of those in common (I wasn't going to tell you about Zack, but... ;-) )

I like it when the code works and just for a while I can feel like I know what I'm doing.

I like it when people look at me and I can see that they're happy to see me.

I like travelling, shucking off all the problems of here and going somewhere that's new, or at least different.

I like very sweet and milky cups of tea.

I love bangers.

I like biking, sitting up and riding with no hands and controlling the direction with my hips and shifting my weight.

I like flying kites.

Mmmm, that's so nice.
