When your turn signal synchronizes with the persons in front of you.
May 26, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Yes!! So true. You try to listen to yours in the car and watch the other car’s flasher go at the same time. So rare it makes it extra awesome!
June 1, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Kinda like when you would ride the school bus in the rain & watching the wipers, waiting for them to sync.
June 22, 2009 at 1:51 am
I just thought of this one today. Haha. It’s just as good when the turn signal/windshield wipers match the beat of the song you’re listening to.

Chris where do you live?
May 30, 2009 at 1:10 am
The Cool Atmosphere in the morning when you just woke up got your pants and shirt on pour yourself a cup of coffee. Go outside walk the dog on a cool winter morning. And then the suprise you feel when you realize that the cool morning is actually Christmas.

My daughter and I experienced something ridiculously awesome this past week: chasing down the neighbourhood ice cream truck on our bikes, and then sitting curb-side to eat our spoils.
Did we care that the neighbour’s dog was barking at us out the window the whole time? No.
Did we care that our handlebars got sticky on the way home? No again.
Did we even care that the ice cream truck’s annoying song was stuck in our heads the rest of the day? Definitely not, because it only reminded us of the awesome thing we’d just experienced.
July 18, 2008 at 10:57 am
Getting into a nice clean bed after shaving your legs, especially if its cool :P

Completely uncontrollable laugher that takes all of the energy out of you, leaving you a limp noodle of a human being.

Waking up on the beach without your pants on.

NEIL:
I just thought of two awesome ideas for your blog in case you run out of ideas.
That feeling when you have really long hair and you get it cut short – washing it or brushing it – how different it feels running your hands through! (lame i know, but awesome to me)
ALSO, the feeling of how smooth your teeth are once braces get taken off – how you can’t stop feeling them with your tongue for WEEKS!
(EDIT 6/15/2009: Thank you, miss molly B! – Neil)
AWESOME!
- me
April 20, 2009 at 3:59 pm
the braces one, yessss
April 27, 2009 at 7:18 pm
@the braces comment, sooooooo true
April 29, 2009 at 10:01 pm
yes! the slimy feeling of your teeth when you get your braces off. and it’s the best kind of slimy
May 15, 2009 at 6:12 pm
I’m very excited for the feeling of teeth free of braces! And yes, I just got my hair cut from half way down my back to a bob and I totally understand where you’re coming from!
July 28, 2008 at 2:14 pm
I love the list so far!!! Can’t wait to read more!
Thought I would add a few…
*opening a vacuum sealed can of coffee (i hate coffee but that first whiff…mmmmmmmm)
*opening Dill Pickle chips and the glands in your cheeks tingling with anticipation
*pop rocks
*Thrills (the soap gum!)
*clean teeth after the dentist (expensive joy but worth it!)
*getting IDed at the bar/liquor store when you are in your 30’s, on your birthday

Looking in your pantry after you’ve been grocery shopping.
Drinking milk from the carton.
The satasfying POP of the toaster.
June 22, 2009 at 9:50 am
zomg! yessss! looking in your pantry after grocery shopping is very very awesome!
June 24, 2009 at 9:28 am
Haha. My cat used to hiss at the dog all the time, and because she was so small her hiss sounded EXACTLY like the toaster popping up.
Another awesome thing -hugging your cats even though you know they hate it.
August 6, 2008 at 3:31 am
Only happens sometimes, but its that feeling you get after a really big poop.
April 20, 2009 at 9:08 pm

April 22, 2009 at 9:07 pm
UUUUUUHHHHHH!!!!!!!! That’s awesome!!!!
August 6, 2008 at 11:52 pm
Taking a break on a REALY long driving trip with all of your siblings in the cramped car. That feeling when you first stand up and heard the satisfying POP of your knees.
(EDIT 8/6/2008: Thank you, Lillian! – Neil)
Letting farts rip in class and when someone hears playing along and telling them it was the person next to you.
Licking your fingers after eating something extrordinarily sticky like watermelon or icecream.
August 7, 2008 at 3:49 am
different style, thanks for sharing.
August 9, 2008 at 11:58 pm
I always enjoyed watching a fellow classmate in school get in trouble and scolded by the teacher in front of everybody.. even friends.
Nothing could make me happier or laugh more to myself then seeing the look of shame on a fellow classmate getting embarrassed and punished in front of everyone!
AWESOME
August 10, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Watching things download quickly.
Drinking things straight from the bottle.
The feeling after going to the bathroom after holding it in for awhile.

Awesome is:
Winning a ridiculous 5 foot tall karate trophy.
hearing a chinese guy sing Layla by Derek and the Dominos
August 22, 2008 at 11:22 am
The first time you go grocery shopping for yourself is amazingly awesome.
As is the first meal you cook in your first apartment. AMAZING.

you can’t divide by zero.

Well not with that attitude!
April 26, 2009 at 5:31 pm
omg dallas i love you.
May 7, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Well you kind of can, we learned how in grade 12 calculus. Was a few years back now so I don’t quite remember, but, we all loved it because of that Chuck Norris joke “Chuck Norris can divide by zero” and we were all like “Now we can too!”
June 12, 2009 at 4:21 pm
“we were all like………..”
shame you didn’t learn English too….you were like what? peanut butter?
August 28, 2008 at 2:31 am
Being the first to dip into a brand new jar of peanut butter is just so darned amazing. You twist, huff, puff, and twist some more. Finally that lid gives way and “zowie!” you’re rewarded with an unspoilt miniature light brown landscape. It’s tiny but vast in its perfection. Then you disturb that perfection, claiming it as your own.
AWESOME!
September 1, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Seeing the way God has answered a prayer.
Hearing a baby laugh.
Taking a bath/shower, but Sunday morning ones are the best.
Looking at the yard after two months of hard work and being happy it looks pretty.
The smell of rain.
Hugging any member of my family.
Getting my house clean and organized, it is so awesome to finally get it at that point.
Being able to crochet/handcraft something and think, ‘Wow i did a good job on that one!’. That is a one in 2o chance.
Washing my face each morning.
April 26, 2009 at 5:57 am
you’re pretty lame, you know that?
May 18, 2009 at 9:19 pm
And you’re an a-hole.
September 1, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Best moments -
1. driving in the car when 3 of your fav songs come on one right after the other.
2. when you find a quarter in the return slot on an arcade game and/or a free song left on a jukebox
3. when you’re in a zone – literally – in a sport you love, where time slows down and you can hear nothing
4. when you get to the point of a dream right before you wake up
5. when you have enough to leave a 30 percent tip or higher and/or when you’re a waiter and you get tipped that much
6. when kids look in your eyes and say they love you
July 3, 2009 at 4:35 am
Being in the zone is great. the best is when you score points
September 2, 2008 at 3:52 pm

September 3, 2008 at 3:55 pm
There’s a vital difference between taking your shoes off and entering a trampoline/bouncy castle, and keeping your shoes on. When you are shoed, you have more grippiness and your bounces are less wasted as a result. It is awesome.
When you eat a pizza with a lot of cheese on, sometimes you can feel the cheese going down your throat because it is so stringy, and it tantalises your throat.
One other thing I like is when you hit someone in jest, and for about two or three seconds after you can feel a surge of electric blood power run around your body and you feel strong and powerful. Even though t’were in jest.

Getting brand new pens and pencils, one of my favorite things
May 17, 2009 at 11:52 pm
I totally agree, 100%- one of my favorite things in the world.

Putting on clothes right out of the dryer
AWESOME
May 16, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Oh my gosh, especially when it’s winter and you are in your pajamas FREEZING. Then you take your clothes out and put them on and get the 20 seconds of pure warmth.
September 6, 2008 at 3:45 pm
shopping for office supplies
nailing a parallel parking on the first try
(EDIT 09/18/08: Thank you, CJT! – Neil)
winning a stuffed animal from the claw game that costs 50 cents
overly elaborate team introductions at sporting events, esp when the lights go out
September 7, 2008 at 5:12 pm
knowing the exact directions to your destination, but pretending you don’t know and let your other friends lead whoever is driving on the wildest driving experience ever
September 7, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Being at a large public event (sports game, graduation, concert, etc) and being next to that really obnoxious guy, the ones that deafens you when he yells or whistles.
AWESOME!
September 8, 2008 at 9:44 am
Those one piece worksuits that zip up that old men wear
September 9, 2008 at 3:58 pm
running into someone you haven’t seen in a long time when you actually look good.
old lady jewelry for a quarter at garage sales.
when you notice strangers on the sidewalk smile at something they overheard your kid say.
awesome!
September 10, 2008 at 9:56 am
*Cracking your back after you have been hunched over for hours.
*The smell nag champa leaves behind after its done burning.
*Finding a treasure at a yardsale.
*Finding all the potato chips in the bag that are folded over.

Houses.
Seriously, houses are awesome.
September 12, 2008 at 10:12 am
The first bite into your favorite sushi roll along with a class of chilled white wine Pinot Grigio. Nothing beats this, I swear!!
September 12, 2008 at 11:24 am
24 oz. Soda bottles are awesome.
Stashing candy is awesome.
Coupons are awesome.
Faking sickness is awesome.
Anyways i like the blog.

taking off your bra after wearing it for hours. it just feels like freedom.
(EDIT 12/11/08: Thank you, Stephanie! -Neil)
April 14, 2009 at 12:08 am
That sort of freedom must be something that Stephanies really need. It’s sure in my top (topless?) 5!
September 24, 2008 at 12:01 pm
booking movie tickets online, and turning up just in time to see a full theater, except for the perfect seats you booked earlier
AWESOME!
September 26, 2008 at 10:50 pm
1. Eating really weird foods for the first time [fried frog legs! fried oreos!] and finding out that they don’t taste that bad
2. When you’re having an argument with someone about something small, like the capital of a certain country, and…BOOYAH! YOU WERE RIGHT!
3. Waking up like normal as if you were about to go to school or work, then realizing that it’s Saturday/Sunday/your day off
4. Going through the ‘My Pictures’ folder on a computer when you haven’t done so in a long time
5. Digging out an old yearbook
6. Seeing rainbows through your neighbor’s sprinkler
7. When you’re washing the car, and it’s hose time
September 28, 2008 at 1:28 pm
1. The last day of a snowboarding vacation, on the last lift up the mountain, sitting at the peak with a bunch of friends looking over the amazing scenery and knowing that soon, the week will be over and theres another year until you do it again. Makes me happy every time I think about it.
2. Being on a summer vaction to the beach with the one you love, lying on the beach when there’s noone else around and the sun is going down, while talking complete nonsense and worrying about nothing.
3a Seeing snow fall for the first time this winter and being outside in it.
3b The noise that your footprints make in that fresh snow – nothing beats it.
April 13, 2009 at 1:42 pm
i agree, thats like one of the most important reasons why i want a dog in the first place
June 30, 2009 at 10:13 pm
I totally agree with 3b. Nothing is better than crunching through a fresh layer of snow :)
Except maybe riding through powder and spraying it up, and going through your powder-spray. That’s awesome :)
And the looks on your friends’ faces when they see snow for the first time is amazing. Especially when it’s the first time you’ve seen snow in years as well :)
Ohh and one more thing! Knowing that you’re in love with someone who’s in love with you too is the most amazing feeling. And it’s even better when you’re both so confident in your love <3
September 28, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Letting your dogs sleep in bed with you. Snoring and farting aside, they are warm and soft and are way better than hugging your pillow. Dog trainers listen up: You are wrong! Dogs belong in bed with their humans.
June 1, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Even when your butt’s not covered by the blanket because they won’t budge a smidge when you try to move them.
September 29, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Drinking the left over milk from the bowl from your cereal.
September 29, 2008 at 5:18 pm
I have several of the awesome favorite things. Some of these can make me smile when I remember then, even several hours or days after
When you untangle the headphones to your iPod (or whatever) without looking and you get the one with the “R” in your right hand and the one with the “L” in your left hand several times in a row. It can really make my day.
Thinking you’re late for the bus (especially on a cold day) and starting to get cranky, but then spotting it rounding the corner and coming towards you.
The feeling you get right after you’ve cleaned your hopelessly messy room and then sitting down to read in your crisp, clean, made up bed.
Laying down in the snow in one of those full-body suit things you had as a kid and feeling warm in the soft, cushiony snow.
Waking up, thinking you’re late for school/work, realising you just missed the bus, jumping out of bed and… then realising you have the day off. The jump-start made you awake enough to be able to really savour going back to the warmth of the bed, but still sleepy enough to get to that wonderful near-sleep state quickly.
And on that note: Waking up from a really great dream, feeling sad that it ended, but then falling asleep again and continuing the dream right where you left off.
Finally having your ears pop long after flying or driving through a tunnel.
(EDIT 2/11/2009: Thank you, Trine! – Neil)
Receiving some new gadgets in the mail and hooking them up for the first time, all shiny and dust free.
Buying a new calender and writing the very first thing in it.
Feeling a little sad, a little fat and a little smelly and then having someone tell you how amazing you look that day.
Going into an exam all nervous and then getting the one thing you felt you would be able to able and acing it. Or for that matter, getting the thing you dreaded the most and acing it for some mysterious reason.
Doing your homework for once and then watching Simpsons or The Office on the couch with a clear conscience.
Trying to convince someone that you have psychic abilities and saying: “My phone is going to start ringing” and then it does.
I totally agree on the Q-tip thing. It’s like an eargasm.
One last thing: sharing all the awesome little things that happen during the day and smiling from ear to ear because of it. :)
Have an awesome day, everyone!
September 29, 2008 at 6:28 pm
I love these. Keep up the good work!
Some of mine:
-Finally peeing after you’ve waited all day and can’t hold it anymore.
-Microwaveable soup.
-Catching someone checking you out.
-Doing nothing all day/sitting around in your underwear.
-Hot nerd chicks.
May 25, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Aah definitely the checking-you-out one!!
September 30, 2008 at 8:30 pm

October 1, 2008 at 3:54 am
When kids show you a sore on their middle finger and hold up just that finger not knowing what they are doing.
Unpacking the last box after a big move.
Seeing an old man with a white beard dressed as Santa jogging down the street in July.
That first leap into a pool even though you know its going to be cold.
Laughing so hard for so long that you forget what your laughing about and still continue to laugh.
Falling asleep/waking up in the arms of the one you love.
Smell of a campfire.
(EDIT 12/9/08: Thank you, Kara! – Neil)
Banana chairs.
When you sit too far back in a banana chair, fall over and can’t get up. (that happened to my mom lol)
When you see a freshly puffed bean bag and can’t resist jumping into it.
Waking up, realizing you don’t have to be anywhere, and going back to sleep.
Jumping into a pile of raked leaves.
The overwhelming smell of brownies filling the house when they are cooking.
Getting your paycheck and its a lot more than you thought it would be.
October 1, 2008 at 2:04 pm
When you slow down to let a truck in front of you on the freeway and they blink their lights to thank you.
October 2, 2008 at 8:08 am
finally going to sleep after doing an all-nighter. the feeling that you can relax and sleep.
October 2, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Nice, warm idea. Thanks.
Here are some of mine –
A long, from-the-deep, oh-so-relieving, burp.
The first swallow from a new bottle of cold seltzer: The cold effervesense raking all the grime off your inside.
Waking up from the deep sleep and not knowing where you are.
A strong foot massage.
Getting the eyelash out of your eye.
(EDIT 10/10/08: Thank you, Mendel! – Neil)
Getting out of the car after a drive to the countryside (from your daily, crowded city) and that first whiff of countryside air.
A deep inhale of tires.
The huge exploding firework that covers the whole sky.
The perfect, crisp morning: cool air, sharp blue sky, one or two clouds for contrast. It permeates your being.
October 3, 2008 at 9:06 am
Finding an amazing song on an album that you’ve had for a long time. It was always there, but needed the right time and circumstances to be discovered.
October 3, 2008 at 12:15 pm
I love whenever I go shopping and I find something I want to buy. Then when I get to the cash register the item was secretly on sale!
AWESOME!

The smells at Christmas time (nuff said)
October 3, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Doing a random nice thing for no reason for some one else and they don’t know it
October 4, 2008 at 5:06 am
Beautiful list. Beautiful comments.
What is awesome?
Laughing in your sleep because your dream is so funny.
Slowly waking from sleep, smiling and reliving the beautiful dream you’ve just had.
When its hot and then you pass by the open doors of a big department store and you are hit by the cold, clean, new smell that belongs only to big department stores.
White curtains billowing in the wind.
A big bright orange sunset that colors the air red gold.
Patterns of sunlight on the floor.
Sunbeams.
The magic hour between night and day.
Listening to the sounds of crickets, frogs and other nocturnal animals on a cool tropical night.
A sky full of stars.
Finding a treasure in a yard sale, junk shop or second hand store.
Lying down on freshly laundered bedsheets.
The smell of shampoo on thick, long hair.
When a baby wraps its hand around your finger and holds tight.
The hug of a child.
A baby laughing uncontrollably. lol
The smell of dawn.
Your going on a trip and the excited feeling that besets you when your bus/car/van finally pulls out of its parking space.
Spaghetti.
Shopping.
AWESOME!
October 6, 2008 at 2:00 pm
The feeling after that perfect golf shot during a round of golf that makes you forget all the bad shots and makes you want to come back and play again.
October 6, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Peeing in newly laden snow
October 7, 2008 at 12:09 pm
dancing in the rain. and not the light rain…but the kind that leaves your hair and clothes completely wet!!! it just makes you feel like…you’re a part of nature!!!

October 9, 2008 at 1:12 am

October 9, 2008 at 11:34 am
Police letting you off with a warning
Frozen thin mint girl scout cookies

October 9, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Thinking you lost your wallet, freaking out and thinking through all of the s*&t you’ll have to go through to remedy the situation, and then finding it.
-> This can be applied to losing your cell phone, thinking your car was towed but then realizing you parked somewhere else, losing your keys, etc..
October 10, 2008 at 12:03 am
I didnt read all of them, but stretching.
Stretching is the most amazing feeling..ever.
October 10, 2008 at 8:48 am
When a bag of chips is hung up in the vending machine and you put money in and get two.

Poutine and beer at a dark bar.
October 10, 2008 at 10:47 am
Watching a TV programme from your youth and still enjoying it. Be it because of nostalgia alone or because it was actually a damn good show, you feel vindicated. And warm and fuzzy. :)
I also agree with Nicole re: stretching. That big morning stretch that loosens your whole body and makes you want to sleep again.
Even more awesome if it’s a weekend and you CAN sleep again.
May 21, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Yes! The Dick Van Dyke show!
October 10, 2008 at 11:16 am
Good point, Ian.
I’d love to watch the one with the softball game vs. WPIG.
Or any of the pranks wars vs. Gary’s Olde Town Tavern
October 10, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Here are some of my favorites.
-Being the first one to read a newspaper. You unfold it, and the pages are still crisp, and you able to hold up the paper to read it, instead of laying on the table to read. And the smell of the ink! Love it. And if your lucky enough, the center pages are still warm from the press. Awesome!
-Eating sour candy. You know its going to be sour, and it’s going to hit right right below the ears, in the back of your mouth, and you can’t help making faces. As soon as the sensation is gone, you have got to eat another piece. Awesome!
-New tires on your car. In my case it’s winter tires. Just the thought of knowing i have bought them makes me feel a lot safer. I knew i won’t end up in a ditch like i did the previous years because of the cheap ass tires i had been using, that were ideal for back east where i previously lived, but were a bad idea for the prairies. Now i can drive unto an unplowed street and know i will be able to get out, and won’t hit other cars or people who are shoveling themselves out. :}
-Going to the hair salon and having my hair washed before cut. My hair stylist washes her own client’s hair, and let me tell ya, it’s as good as getting a full body massage. Every one of her clients raves about it. She doesn’t just wash your hair, she massages your head, you neck, your forehead…honestly it and out of this world experience. I call it having my ears cleaned, cause i can hear so much better after. hehe! Janice, i’ll see ya after work at 3:45PM today!
And i second the stretching in the morning mentions above from other posters. The full body stretch is best. right before you have your am coffee, before the shower.
I think i need a nap now.
Bye!

1) The first time you’re tall enough to be able to go on the scariest roller coaster at the park… and you feel like the biggest 12-year old stud
2) Eating lobster/crab, and getting out that perfectly shaped claw
3) Opening up gmail to a bunch of new bold messages – for a moment you feel like: “I’m popular!”
4) The look on a kid’s face when he’s watching magic/balloon animals being made. I just saw a kid getting a balloon had getting made for him.. he was so excited he was shaking/about to explode
5) When you think you’re going to run out of gas on a dark highway at night, and you manage to find an open gas station at the very last minute
(EDIT 12/26/08: Thanks, Freddo! – Neil)
6) No-questions-asked return policies
7) T-ball. I mean, you don’t even have to have the ball pitched to you. You hit it off a Tee!
8) Watching TV with a group of friends – the same show that would be mildly entertaining alone, can be downright hilarious when watching it with friends
October 15, 2008 at 4:42 pm
The moment after you PLAY a concert.
It’s one of the best feelings ever.
You kind of have to be in a band to get this feeling though, but I just thought I’d share. It goes along with the new one about the lights going down before a concert.
October 15, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Oh! I have some more.
1) Experiencing Deja-vu.
2) Being the subject of somebody’s magic trick. My brother does magic. It’s so fun not knowing what’s happening.
3) The feeling of not being able to move your body when you wake up for a second. I’ve heard them called ‘Having the devil sit on your chest”. My friend calls them ‘Mini Comas’. I don’t know what they’re actually called, but they rock.
Kind of weird that all of these have to do with your brain processing information and stuff…
October 16, 2008 at 5:31 pm
1 Cutting the grass in the early morning and sitting down in in the sunshine and simply smelling it hearing no sign of modern life
2 Watching a film for 2 hours without any inclination of the twist at the end. Then when the twist is exposed having the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and going to bed excited and thinking about it for days after.
3.The cold side of he pillow.
4. A long lie in when you’ve got kids and your partner takes them out for the morning and says” be quiet don’t wake daddy” to the kids.
5 A birthday present that you really want, that you haven’t hinted at, after the age of 30.
6. Silence
7. New shoes when you’re 7!
8.Clean, crisp bed sheets.
9. Toast.
10 Finding a glass of water on the bedside table that you had the forthought to put there before you went out and drank far too much, and then forgot about. Discovering it and chugging it in the middle of the night. Then waking up with little or no handover because of it!! Awesome!
Come on at least one of these should come in from your Anglo cousins!!
June 8, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Number 10 made me laugh! It’s SO true :o)
October 19, 2008 at 12:55 pm
- lazy sunday afternoons… it could be on the couch in front of a football game, or reading a book on a porch swing…maybe you’ll nap, maybe you won’t… either way, it’s awesome.
- the sound of sharp skates on a fresh sheet of ice
- when you’ve had the longest, most stressful, exhausting day ever and the last thing you feel like doing is cooking dinner, and you walk in the door and someone says to you “i just ordered take-out, it’ll be here in 10 minutes”
- old christmas movies – White Christmas, Holiday Inn, etc, etc
- spontaneous road trips with good friends
October 19, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Getting an unexpected raise.
When you didn’t ask for one, when it’s not an annual thing, when your boss just says you deserve it.
Being in love. especially the beginning when you can’t go five minutes without talking to each other and everything else in your life suddenly seems less important.
new socks – saw it already but toooooootally true
cooking marshmallows and hot dogs in a campfire.
October 21, 2008 at 9:54 am
You know those movies that you watch every time they come on TV (even if you own the DVD)?
Mine are Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Midnight Run, Scent of a Woman, Fish Called Wanda.
The awesome thing is tuning in right when they start…I’ve seen the end of all of those movies dozens of times more than the opening scenes.
May 2, 2009 at 11:20 pm
Big, Center Stage, Where the Heart Is, any of the Harry Potter movies
Most awesome when they’re just starting! This needs to be added.
October 21, 2008 at 9:59 am
I would also add Bull Durham, The Princess Bride, Office Space and The Usual Suspects.

Waking up in the morning, rolling over, and realizing you still have an hour or more to sleep.

Building and lighting your own campfire.

Being in Maths class, completely bored, then you start talking to the guy next to you, who just happened to be the jerk who stole your girlfriend, and then the teacher says that you have to do these math problems, in page x, and then, you suddenly realize that you’re the only guy in class who has already SOMEHOW done them, and then, the jerk literally BEGS for you to show him the problems…
Yes, revenge really IS sweet…

bouncing up and down to get water our of your ear after swimming.
May 2, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Finally getting the water out of the ear due to the bouncing. Biggest accomplishment ever and an eargasm second only to the Q-Tip.
October 30, 2008 at 10:29 am
You have to live somewhere cold for this one. But you know the water on the side of the road that wells up and then freezes over night, then you are the first one to step on it and crack up the ice and a bit of water seeps through – the noise is awesome!!!!!!!!
October 31, 2008 at 11:07 am

when you have long hair and you are having a shower and while you are washing your bum you find a long long hair. You tug it and you find its gone right up your bum hole, so you slowly pull it out. That soooooo tickles.
November 4, 2008 at 1:39 pm
When you’re in a room full of people and a song comes on the radio and every single person in the room starts singing along.
Singing along to a song even when you don’t know the words.
Catching someone singing along to their ipod totally oblivious to how ridiculous they sound.
Watching a baby do something for the very first time.
When babies first learn to crawl and they can only go backwards!
When you vaguely remember something that you loved in your childhood but haven’t seen or heard any traces of it in such a long time that you start to think you just made it up and then you spontaneously find it again.
November 4, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Have to give credit for this one to a friend of mine but it’s awesome nonetheless. It’s called a primo sleep (basically doing everything in your power prior to going to bed to insure that you have an ideal sleeping experience).
Here are a few necessary steps:
-Wash your sheets and make your bed neatly
-Take a shower right before you go to bed
-Clip all fingernails and toenails
-Shave
-Chill the room approximately 1 hour before desired bedtime

reading middle school love notes
doing a trick you haven’t tried in a while, and landing it
watching popcorn in the microwave
trying on your new clothes right when you get back from the mall
unseasonably warm days
leftover pizza
November 6, 2008 at 5:18 am
waking up in the middle of the night, thinking its morning and realizing its only 1am.
November 6, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Taking off your socks separately and long before the rest of your clothes come off at the end of the day is great. That sensation of having cool dry feet exposed to the air while still being otherwise clothed entirely.
November 6, 2008 at 9:55 pm
The square on the waffle with the butter in it that you save for the last bite. Also, stealing somebody’s off of their plate.

here’s another one that came to mind while commenting on today’s post: Making it to the bus stop just as the bus is pulling up. You gotta love that! Especially in bad weather.

Escaping out of an awkward situation with a smile and a quick glance from a nice looking girl, e.g. when the automated doors at the mall don’t open for you and you have to back up and walk up to them again.
November 10, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Getting a date out of a dialing a wrong number or receiving a call from a wrong number.
Thinking about something and laughing out loud, especially in the middle of a meeting or in a quiet place. The looks you get make it that much more enjoyable.
Watching a team you hate lose.
Watching a team you love win, especially an upset.
Watching the team you love beat the team you hate, especially in an upset.
Accidentally doing something right at work or school and getting praised for it.

Lie: Bruce Willis always goes to Sam Goodies –
Truth: It happens.
November 11, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Getting the wave from the driver you just let go ahead of you.
The secret 30-second skip button on the Tivo remote. Especially while watching Fringe since they tell you how long the commercial breaks are so you know precisely how many times to press the button.
Sleeping in.
Putting on brand new socks.
November 11, 2008 at 6:19 pm

November 12, 2008 at 1:50 am
The anticipation of being on a plane to fly across country to the one you love…landing…seeing them from way across the airport…running into their arms and that very first kiss ;)
November 12, 2008 at 2:27 am
Going back to the neighborhood and home that you grew up in to find that almost everything is just as you had left it.
The sound of your doggies collar jingling as he comes running to you at the front door.
Mail…not bills..mail.
Finding long lost friends.
Waking up to the sound of rain in the middle of the night…is an especially present surprise for me ’cause “It never rains in Southern California.”
Voting.
Warm chocolate chip cookies and a glass of ice cold milk.

Answering lots of questions correctly in a row on Jeopardy. And the granddaddy: knowing the answer to Final Jeopardy.
May 2, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Solving the Wheel of Fortune puzzle with only select letters in each word. Usually, T, R, and I. Granddaddy: knowing the puzzle in the Bonus Round.
The ultimate feeling of superiority: when you do all those things with a lot of people around, who are still trying to answer the question/solve the puzzle.

Being the first person to open a bottle and hearing the cracking of the cap, works best with alcohol bottles with the tin caps

you never know, is it checks? letters from people you haven’t spoken to? a warrant for your arrest?
November 14, 2008 at 11:58 pm
-expecting the rain , holding your hands out, looking up, and feeling the first rain drops falling on you

This site made my… er… morning. I wish I weren’t awake, but apparently my migraine had other plans for me. Oh, yes. Some of my suggestions… that have probably all been suggested already. I can’t read ALL those comments, man. My eyes hurt.
That couple of seconds immediately after stubbing your toe, before it actually starts to hurt. You know pain is to come, so keep walking before it kicks in!
Getting your joints to crack after a long, stressful day. Especially your neck, and your knuckles. Ahhhhhh.
The realization that some medicine you’ve taken has kicked in, and you feel infinitely better. (Think Dristan nasal spray. Ooh yeah.)
The Gaviscon Burp. (Gaviscon is a heartburn reliever, basically equivalent to Tums… except instead of just being chalky, it’s chalky, and then it foams up in your mouth and fills it completely! After finally swallowing all the damn foam, you have only to wait fifteen minutes or so before you start to feel better. And that sweet relief is very, very often begun with a burp, as if the Gaviscon is saying, “Look how damn good I am at neutralizing acid. I turn manic heartburn into one short, strawberry-flavoured burp.”)
Watching more than one rodent try to use the same wheel. (Bonus points if one or more is trying to run on the OUTSIDE of the wheel.)
A hand-holding mitten, (http://www.dailycandy.com/everywhere/article/22463/The+Tie+That+Binds) and having someone with whom to use it.
PS: Surprise two-ply is seriously awesome.

Incense
The feeling you get and the way your room looks after its hideously messy and you spend all day cleaning it and it’s all beautiful and neat and happy!

November 21, 2008 at 1:38 am
How warm a piece of paper is after it prints out of one of those old printers. you just want to stick your face in it.
A perfect high-five. I’m talking about a perfect one- hands completely together with that satisfying SMACK noise. Especially after a victory.
Sticking your hands in any kind of dough and squeezing. I love how it goes through your fingers.
Working out to a really fun song. That gets you pumped up and makes you feel invincible.
Taking off a big sweater when it’s hot…The feel of the cold air on your skin is amazing! Or vice versa, bundling up and feeling all snug when it’s cold is great too.
May 2, 2009 at 11:39 pm
I have to share my high-five experience from this very evening:
I went back to my high school to watch my old team play lacrosse. Its the quarterfinals of the state tournament. My team won by one goal.
I’m on a raised bleacher – a good ten feet, mind you – my coach, runs, jumps, winds up, HIGH FIVE. Dead on. Excellent sound.
Best high five ever.

November 24, 2008 at 6:52 am
Sitting in the very back row of a sporting event.
You are never really sure what section 409, row U means until you climb and climb and climb clutching your ticket, wondering where your Sherpa guide got to.
The thing is…the last row is actually far better than the row in front of it. You can stand if you want, post your sign that cleverly uses the letters ESPN directly behind you, and enjoy a birds-eye view of the entire field.
Does anyone remember sitting at the far end of the right field bleachers at Exhibition Stadium? It was as far away from the outfield fence as the fence was from home plate. Nothing better than arguing balls and strikes from there.
AWESOME!
November 24, 2008 at 8:54 pm

The unique crunch sound of fresh snow under your shoe.
When you’re waiting for a bus at a busstop, and it pulls up and the door stops literally, directly in front of you. It makes you feel so special.
Staying up all night and realizing although you aren’t energized, you aren’t sleepy or tired. It’s very surreal.
Eating something very unhealthy like a french fry, and then eating something healthy like a grape or orange. It just feels so much more REAL.
I know it’s been said already, but untouched peanut butter…is awesome.
Going on a moonbounce and doing a backflip, something I could never do on solid ground. Also, no injuries
pouring soda from a can or bottle into a cup, and seeing the bubbles fill up to the very top without spilling over.
seeing cars on the road that look like they’re from the 1950’s
jumping in puddles even though you are not a kid…especially huge, deep puddles that completely soak you’re shoes even though you didn’t want that to happen
meeting people from TV in real life. They look so weird in three dimensions
December 8, 2008 at 8:48 pm

December 10, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Hey. Love the blog! Stayed up into the wee hours of the morning reading. Anyways, I have some suggestions (sorry if they’ve already been posted by other users).
1) Sleeping Naked. I don’t know what it is but it just feels so liberating.
2) That feeling you get after a good bowel movement. It feels great to have your system flushed out!
3)The mist function of the shower head. Common, who doesn’t love a good misting!
4) Waking up where you didn’t fall asleep. This is pretty self explanatory, I feel.
5) Getting the last of something (last beer from the cooler, last box of cereal from the shelf, etc…)
6) Movie Marathons. There’s something fantastic about watching every installment of a film series in one day (Star Wars, Lord of the Rings).
7) Cracking every knuckle on your hand at once. Whether you use the push-down method or the bend back technique, there’s nothing quite as awesome as this feeling.
8) YouTube comments. Sure, they’re often just lame insults directed at nobody for no good reason, but they are able to evoke reactions in everybody, which makes them awesome to me.
9) Being in a crowded room and having your phone go off. Theres just something awesome about saying “It’s me” as the rest of the room checks their phones at the same time.
10) Dollar Store Pickled Products. Who buys them? I don’t know. But just the fact that they are what they are makes them awesome.
11) Really Loud Thunder Storms. Something about the way the lightening strikes or how the Thunder shakes you is just awesome.
12) Jack in the Box Tacos. They’re greasy, mushy and totally delicious, and the fact that they’re 2 for a dollar is why they’re awesome.
13) Communicating with someone who speaks another language. We’ve all been there, and it’s a great feeling when, after all those crazy hand motions and facial expressions, that chinese woman at the train station realizes what you’ve been trying to say!
14) Sleeping in. It feels good.
15) Top Ramen. This stuff’s just plain epic, no doubt.
16) Really, really really really realllly bad movies! The only kind of movie thats better than a really good movie is the kind that sucks so badly that you and your friends make fun of it for hours.
17) Old Gum. Some flavors of gum age like wine.
18) Pens that work. It’s a gamble when you reach into the cup of old pens to find one to write with, but it feels good when the first one you pull out writes like it did when you first bought it.
19)Loose Change Jars. Look at ‘em, sitting on your dresser, just full of opportunity.
20) The handicap stall at the bathroom. Also known as the Cadillac of public toilets.

The feeling you get after completing your last final of finals week.
Coinstar
Pedicures
No-Sew Fleece Blankets
Doing something you’re too old to do on a regular basis (ex. sledding, playing in a ball pit, doing cannon balls in a crowded pool)
December 11, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Getting sent home sick…
You normally don’t get this after grade school.
There are times when you feel terrible and you know you shouldn’t really go to work. You can shake the feeling that today is the day that you get fired for calling in sick. You trudge to work and flop at your desk. And weep a little inside. but sometimes your boss says “You know what, you look like arse. Maybe you should call it a day and get some rest.”
Free day off! Yes!
Bonus Awesomeness if you don’t really feel ALL that bad but you have some sniffles and maybe a hoarse sounding cough that doesn’t really hurt.

Losing The Game and making everyone around you lose. If you don’t know what The Game is, allow me to explain it. The object of The Game is to forget you’re playing. If you think about The Game, you lose and you have to announce “I just lost The Game.” By writing this post, I lost The Game. Also, by reading it, you have all lost The Game.
December 15, 2008 at 6:18 pm
- spending an entire day watching reality tv marathons
- having a dream that you can fly (not awesome: waking up)
- coloring
- getting the Helen Keller card in Apples to Apples

Putting clothes on right out of the dryer.

Also awesome: getting out of the shower, running wet and naked to the dryer, and wrapping yourself in the warm goodness of a freshly laundered towel.

Coming home from work and reading something interesting while having a good poop! It just feels like you are leaving your work behind you and getting ready to start something new.
December 20, 2008 at 1:25 am
Jen (above) is right. I was about to suggest the same thing. Pretty much it’s the jacket you haven’t put on since the last time it was in season. Money in the pockets, a card for bus/train travel that still has credits, the ticket from the show you went to the last time you were wearing said jacket; all of these are huge.
December 20, 2008 at 1:48 pm
this list should definitely be on the list
December 20, 2008 at 8:55 pm
The moment you wake up and realise its a Saturday and you don’t have to get up.
Finding the thing you’ve been searching for for half an hour- whatever it is.
OR
Waking up and thinking you’ve slept all night, only to find you’ve only been asleep for an hour and have all night left. Its like a free nights sleep.
Remembering you have something delicious and quick in your fridge.
Turning over the TV to find something cool is about to start.
how great your foot feels after pins and needles have gone.
December 21, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Taking off ice skates after wearing them for a while and putting on worn, warm, old gym shoes that your feet relax into.

first drink of water after waking up from a night of drinking. When your mouth is really really dry and pasty.
Seeing old friends you haven’t seen in a while. Makes you feel all warm inside.
knowing that you don’t have to do anything today. Being lazy is awesome.
Leaving the gym and feeling very accomplished, knowing you’ve done something other people haven’t to improve yourself is great.
hooking up with randoms
watching classic movies (shawshank, gladiator, starwars, godfather, fight club, forest gump, indiana jones)

- Having a truly awesome conversation with a complete stranger
-Bubble wrap

- Inspiration
- Seeing people you love cheering you on
- Hearing or writing the perfect lyric
- Going to camp for the first time as a kid
- Walking into an empty hotel room
- Pulling an all-nighter just to watch the sun rise

Working for hours on an art project while hating it, only to make a mistake and think, “Hey! That’s cool!”
December 29, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Peeling wax off your finger after you’ve dipped it in a candle wax.
Feeling warm air on your face once you come in from the cold, it can feel like your face is melting.
Reading on your bed before you go to sleep and then finding that the sheets are all warmed up for you because you were just on top.
When it’s cold out, having a warm drink that makes your hands warm.
Glass mugs.
Being able to hold someone’s hand.

Finding something totally expensive at a thrift store for less than five dollars -or- finding something you’ve lusted after in the past but never purchased at a thrift store. (This doesn’t happen very often, but I got an Orla Kiely wallet for $3 at Savers once after playing coy on eBay for about a year. Trust me — it was AWESOME)
Driving in a clean car after a full-service car wash (washed, vacuumed and dried).
Closing my office door at work.
Sleeping with the windows open in early autumn.
Finding an unbelievable coupon code for something you’re ordering online (pizza, shoes, etc.)
Cuddling in bed when you are cold and your bedmate is really warm.
Sleeping puppy or kitten in your lap.
December 30, 2008 at 2:30 am
Oh, wait. I have to second the waking up and almost getting ready for work but then realizing it is Saturday or Sunday. That feeling just makes me extra happy to be alive.

The wall of DVDs of the latest release and they are all rented except for one. And you notice it, in front of all the other people standing there. And you grab it. And like kind of slowly hide it as you take it to the checkout. That’s kind of awesome.
December 30, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Those french fries left at the bottom of a fast-food bag after you’ve eaten your meal.
awesome surprise.
December 30, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Scratching that annoying mosquito bite (or in my case bites)….
a bubble bath at just the right temperature
reading a really good or trashy novel after a hard day
listening to an audiobook in bed….feels like having a bedtime story read to you
re-contacting an old friend from school
looking up at the beautiful night sky
sunsets at Stump Pass Beach
the first sip of a margarita

Surprising other people with little presents
watching other people open presents
December 30, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Old running shoes.
The scuffy, white, beat-up kind that have walked a million steps, seen different towns, countries, landscapes, activities, splashed through puddles, and kicked off after the day ends.
Those are probably the most beautiful articles of clothing anyone will ever have.
December 31, 2008 at 12:34 pm

waking up before your obnoxious alarm has the chance…
the sound of rain on the rooftop at bedtime
taking the perfect picture after tons of shots
making it safely on the ski lift
genuine surprise on Christmas Day
making it out of the bathroom at work before someone realizes it was you that made it smell that way!!
January 7, 2009 at 5:05 pm
The dudes will agree with this one, if you’re normal. Being on a date early in a relationship, clearly in the non-farting-in-front-of-your-date stage, and finally releasing that fart after the date is over. The fart that has been twisting your stomach for the last 2 hours. AHHHHHHHH. And the reason I say the dudes will agree is because we all know girls don’t fart.
January 7, 2009 at 11:36 pm
Waking up and realizing you woke earlier than usual and still have time to sleep some more. Beautiful.

January 8, 2009 at 1:47 pm
making that person at work that was born two drinks short…drink… and actually digging their personality
doing something a long time ago that was sincere, and receiving praise for it long after you forgot about it
being asked to be a bridesmaid when you didn’t think you were that close
seeing your parents flirt and being secretly proud, but try to hide it by making ewww noises
finding out other people you know root for a politician that you thought no one else cared/knew about
getting one nice sweet person on the comcast/at&t 1800 line that actually takes time, speaks english, and follows through so that your happy
receiving endless coupons with your .com purchases from bloomingdales/neimens that makes it cheaper to buy quality online
having other people plan weekend vacations and you just show up with cash to chip-in
when someone sleeps in your bed and makes your bed for you with a special note or something on top
when your at a nice restaurant with someone who actually knows more about wine than you do
doodles from friends that are bad funny but specifically for you
when your limbs feel like jello (the prephase before the pain hits) after a really tough workout

Why dont you post like 10 a day so we can finish this countdown within the next year??????
January 15, 2009 at 2:40 pm
waking up a sleepy limb….oh the tingles!
that first morning stretch after a really good night sleep *mmmmmmmmmm*
managing to be in the right lane that never has the slow driver ahead or red lights…you cruise right on through while the cars behind manage to hit upon every light and grandpa in a baseball cap :-P
shaving any body part and feeling the air on smooth clean skin…

- Learning something new that: a) changes how you see the world, b) randomly shows up in a trivia game and you’re the only one who knows the answer, or c) is so weird you have to tell someone else about it.
- When a song pops into your head a second before it comes on the radio
- Reading something that is so unexpectedly funny you laugh out loud
- Falling asleep on the couch when you don’t have anything better to do (or you can slack off without anyone noticing.)
- When a storm knocks the power out for a while and you can read by rainstorm-daylight or emergency-candle light, in the eerie, non-buzy quiet.
January 17, 2009 at 5:16 am
- Begining your favorite book…again
January 17, 2009 at 4:19 pm
When you turn on the TV to watch a specific program, and the opening credits/intro has just begun.
Being in love.
Knowing all the words to a song you love, then if you see the band live and they play it, you feel so good.
Finding out that somebody likes a band that you do, that you think no ones ever heard of.
Having someone stick up for you, or someone help you out if you get in a fight/argument.
Winking at someone, and them completely understanding what to do.
Helping a comeplete stranger out, then them giving you heartfealt thanks, or vice versa.
–awsome list, been keeping my eye on it for a while now =)

My favorite things are:
1. When you run into people you haven’t seen in ages, and you look good.

4. When you order something to eat, like fries and you have to wait for them to prepare a FRESH batch of them.
5. The way the sun feels on my face.
6. Seeing people smile after you made their day :)
7. Finding a pair of pants that fit you the right way, and you feel so confident in them.

January 22, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Having a day so completely free to do anything you want that you lose track of time completely and don’t have to care.
I went to the beach with some friends on Labor day a few years back and we literally spent all day there never once checking the time. What a great feeling.

I haven’t done that since we went to Jamaica 3 years back. That makes for an awesome vacation.

January 26, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Having your back scratched by someone else. I am an absolutely blissfully happy person when I have had my back scratched.
And how about the feeling of opening a new book.
I kinda feel guilt/awesomeness when I’m the first one to walk through fresh snow or put a knife into a new tub of butter.
The smell of clean laundry
Grass cutting days– the days where it is obvously about to rain, but everyone is out mowing their lawns.

When someone else is doing a crossword and is asking everyone if they know the answer to a particular clue, and you know it immediately off the top of your head. And you’re the only one, and everyone thinks you’re smart.
Or, in the same vein, completing a crossword with no help. In pen. With no squiggle-outs.

You know what’s awesome? Catching every single Pokemon.
You know what else is awesome? Popping all 3 bubbles on soft drink cup tops.

Counting down the seconds to the end of one’s work/school day on a friday.
When someone steps in and takes the blame for something you did.

I think what’s really awesome is when you get extra buttons in a tiny plastic bag with the shirts you buy.

- Meeting old friends and realising you still buddies
-driving past your old school and basking in the good memories
-getting a funny chain-mail
-when you tell a joke and it comes off brilliantly
-finding out something that’ll make a kid laugh over and over again

When you first open a can of soda, the noise it makes! :]
When you are missing someone so badly and then they show up out of the blue.
Holding hands with the person you are so in love with.
Carbonation in general.
The silence of kissing.
