  1. That sudden “holy bejeezus!” moment in a movie when the completely unexpected twist starts to unravel. Very unsettling, but always awesome feeling.

  2. the feeling of excitement and adventure that builds up inside of you when you arrive at a place you’ve never been to before.

  3. Running into an ex when you look good

    Finding something you really like for really cheap (on sale/clearance, at a thrift store, at a yard sale, etc.)

    Crunchy leaves (Stepping on them)

    When someone lets you pet their dog

    A haircut

  4. Thank you for this, it makes me smile. I feel the need to share, since reading everyone else’s comments was actually enjoyable.

    -Jellies (the classic PVC plastic sandals… where did they go?!)
    -Creating an elaborate handshake on the fly, and nailing it

    -Scents that cause you to remember things you’ve forgotten
    -The Big Lebowski
    -Home made greeting cards

    -When the air is *exactly* the right temperature
    -Waving at people driving the same type of car — and they wave back!
    -Hearing a song you requested play on the radio
    -Explaining to someone that you *actually* laughed out loud
    -Drunken voicemails — your friends care, even when 0.12% of their blood is alcohol
    -Any kind of countdown
    -Animal-themed slippers

    -Stumbling upon a most excellent blog on an otherwise uneventful day
    Thank you so much.

  5. standing outside in the rain on a warm summer night.

    watching and listening to a good thunder and lightening storm

  6. 1) Being a regular at a coffee shop.

    2) Seeing lots of people you know when out with someone you’re trying to impress.

    3) Really badass driving music.

    4) Managing to be really witty and smooth around a potential date.

    5) Loving movies no one else has heard of.

  7. laughing when your not suppose to be laughing. Like when you were in elementary school, and someone did something funny, but you just cannot laugh-or else! So your face would go red and just be laughing so hard in silence. You know?

  8. Getting that warm feeling in my stomach when I see my boyfriend after a long time.

    My cat licking my nose when she wants a snuggle.

    Knowing I don’t have to get up early tomorrow.

  9. This might sound weird, but writing on and ripping off the last page of a yellow legal pad. Thinking about all the stuff (whether it be super important or a quick mental notes before forgetting) jotted down on all those pages over a course of time makes me feel like I actually got stuff done at work. And that is

    AWESOME!

  10. the feeling you get from running around in the mud in the rain, and realizing how incredibly dirty you’ve gotten, only to feel amazing after it’s all washed off

    5. Getting every joke and reference on Family Guy

    9. Waking up next to a warm, cuddly kitty
    10a. A brand-new tee shirt

    11. A cup of hot coffee on a cold, rainy day
    12. Realizing you still fit into your prom dress
    13. Good hair days
    14. Wearing an outfit you made yourself

  12. Waking up to find you still have a couple more hours so sleep

    Coming home to an excited puppy who missed you more than anything

    Going to do the dishes only to find out someone has already done them for you

    Opening brand new jars and peanut butter and jelly

    Going to buy something new and finding out its on sale

    Getting in your car to see you have more gas then you thought

  15. Thinking about your girlfriend/boyfriend while listening to “don’t stop believin'” by Journey.

    Getting something published on the internet.

    Finally hearing that song that was stuck in your head.

  16. Recognizing it when someone you know looks like a certain celebrity… and totally nailing it.

    u know what i mean?…

    1. Yes, I know EXACTLY what you mean! You feel so great! I had a classmate who, even though he was dark black, had the SAME facial structure (cheekbones), smile with dimples, and almond shaped eyes as Conan O’Brien. I kept thinking he looked familiar and when I finally realized it I always felt satisfied when I saw him.

      I know that sounds weird but I know what you mean!

  17. Pay day

    Getting out of work on a friday afternoon, also the first beer out of the carton on a friday afternoon.

    Getting something you really deserve.

    Swimming whilst hungover.

  18. When you get back home after a long walk or shopping and comfortably sit on your sofa.

    When you think you’re gonna be late, but you manage to get to the right place on time.

    When you lay in your bed in the evening really tired and you know that you don’t need to wake up early in the morning.

    When you wake up early in the morning and think that it’s friday and you have to go to school or a job, but then you realize that it’s saturday and you can sleep as much as you want:) or when you wake up too early and you know that you have a hour or two to sleep till you need to get up.

    When you are busy all day and you don’t even have time to eat and you get really hungry and when you finally get something to eat, whatever it is, it is terrifically delicious!:D

    When you do all you jobs or homeworks or tasks in the morning and all the time that is left you can do whatever you want or just laze away:)

    The thing that you do for the first time.

    Warm summer evenings when you are hanging out with your friends till it’s dark(and going home with them) and you get home very late (but it’s still warm outside) and go to bed with a smile on your face.

    All the good memories and the feeling that there’s going to be more.

    The feeling that you get when you’re ant the club, and there’s a good DJ or band playing and you are listening to them with your eyes closed and there is a feeling that there is only you and the music and you just dance, you don’t care about anything around you…

    there is some things that I love:)

  19. Your a great writer, I love it!
    Laying under your clothes when they are right out of the dryer.
    Cooking bacon just right so it tastes AMAZING

  20. Taking a photo at just the right moment

    Hearing a song with lyrics that relate to your current situation

    Giving someone a gift that you know they really wanted

    Getting butterflies in your tummy

  21. sleeping naked when your roommate’s out of town

    -Hammocks
    -When your kid runs to you when you get home from work.

      -Getting into an upbeat song
      -Dancing badly and not caring about the odd stares

  23. When you’re at the zoo and your favorite animal comes straight up to the glass or fence when you walk up. It’s like they want to be your animal buddy.
