  2. When you leave a new roll of toilet paper on the counter after using it, and someone else puts it on the spinner.

    Spongebob.

    Going really fast over speed bumps in the back of a school bus.

    1. Going over speed bumps in the back of a school bus is mint!
      I tried it standing up to. You grab the bar above you’re head then lift yourself up as you go over. Feels Awesome!

  5. Something most of you probably haven’t experienced, but this is truly awesome:

    Finding really amazing shells on the beach and putting the less awesome ones you found back in the sand, then watching the beach-combers after you get all excited about finding your reject shells.

    Running a mile or two and getting all sweaty and then jumping into a freezing shower to cool you off. feels amazing.

  6. When you feel sick and you finally throw up and feel awesome

    Popping a heap of balloons

    Winning any amount of money over $20 in the lottery

    Finally getting that really fast ant with your magnifying glass

    Working off all that exercise with some chocolate

    Playing pretend way over the appropriate age limit

    Getting a headshot on a shooting game

    Making the top 10 high scores of all time on something

    Finding something in the backyard when you dig a hole

    Discovering a better recipe by ‘tweaking’ the original

    Getting your report card and it’s way better than you expected

    Making something technological on your own (computer?)

    Overdosing on nostalgic sadness

    Finally ‘going’ after holding it in for ages

    Really old board or card games you forgot about

    Finishing that game you couldn’t beat as a child

    Finding your childhood toys in the back of your cupboard

    Getting hurt and showing off to everyone by struggling to do ordinary tasks

  10. Taking pictures with an old-school disposable camera so you can’t cheat and delete the bad ones…they’re all gonna be developed whether you like it or not!

  11. this is an awesome idea for a website that put a smile on my face. Here are a few of my ideas:
    1)When lightning strikes at the perfect point in a conversation
    2)When you meet someone with the same embarrassing trait as you, ie sweaty hands
    3)Meeting a celebrity thats not arrogant
    4)getting things for free

  14. The very first jump into a clear sparkling pool…the anticipation and wave of relief is…well…AWESOMe

  15. A hot humid day feeling like your going to die and then jumping into a cold pool and feeling absolutely refreshed.

  16. Teaching someone how to do something that they didn’t think that they could do. Watching their eyes light up as they do it by themselves.

    Even better? Seeing them teach someone else who was trying to do the same thing.

  17. Late at night, lying in bed, hearing the front door open and knowing it’s your daughter, safe at home. Awesome.

    Late at night, lying in bed, hearing your bedroom door open, and your daughter saying “I’m home, I love you.”
    Heaven

      1. Your 23 year old son, who lives on his own, texting you – just to say he’s doing fine and safe and hoping you are too. The best!

  18. Okay … I haven’t checked any preexisting lists for dupes, so don’t go all off on me if there are any duplicates:

    1. Waving at the firemen when the firetruck drives by.
    2. Being all itchy after rolling in the grass.
    3. Hearing the Popsicle man’s bell.
    4. That cold feeling you get in your throat when it is cold outside and you are playing really hard.
    5. Standing in the driveway waiting to check out all the new gadgets when your dad pulls up in a new car.
    6. Frying bologna on a stove burner.
    7. When it’s really cold outside, your mom has already lit the gas heater in the bathroom before she wakes you up for school.
    8. Heating blankets.
    9. The first time you never stall out when driving a stick.

    11. Homemade ice cream
    12. The sound when you drive your car on gravel.
    13. When you win the office pool.

    1. To add to the first one, having your Uncle the Fire Chief turn the siren on as the fire truck drives by you and your sister walking down the street and all the firemen wave to you, that was a great day!

  19. Driving home from a grueling eight hours of back-breaking, mind-numbing, soul-crushing and underappreciated employment, backing into the driveway and noticing that your gas tank is just about empty, then heading to the front door and stepping inside, to be assaulted by a small furry ball of joy and excitement. Her cold wet nose and affectionate whines let you know that ohmygodshemissedyouSOMUCHanddidn’tthinkyouwereevercominghomeEVERRRR.

    Awesome.

  20. Going up or down the steps with your eyes closed and not being able to tell when the top or bottom step is coming!

  21. Finally licking the flavour crust on your fingers after eating a bag of chips… especially ketchup or salt and vinegar!

    Along those lines… those chips so covered in flavour they feel wet.

  22. Watching little kids dump half of the salt shaker in Dad’s drink at a restaurant when he gets up to go to the bathroom

  23. “Teaching someone how to do something that they didn’t think that they could do. Watching their eyes light up as they do it by themselves.

    Even better? Seeing them teach someone else who was trying to do the same thing.”

    i second that! awesome feeling! (:

  24. When you get an itch you just can’t locate specifically to scratch, then you finally do and it’s near orgasmic! haha

  25. -Hugging someone you haven’t seen for ages
    -Sticking your upper half out of a sunroof when the driver is going really fast
    -The feeling you get when you sit up too fast
    -The smell of your puppy/dog just after he/she has had a bath
    -Meeting new people
    -Laughing with your friends about nothing which just makes you laugh harder until your jaw aches and you have the stitch
    -Making dirty jokes about un-dirty things

  26. – When a body part gets so numb you cant feel it
    – “thats what she said” jokes
    – catching a foul baseball
    – finding a new favorite band

  27. When you give a baby calf your finger to suck on and eventually it ends up sucking your whole hand clean. Especially awaesome when your fingers are almost frost bitten on a cold winters day. When you have 4 of your five fingers in its mouth and it sucks on your hand for ages, you pull away and your hand is warmed up. And the look on its face when you take your hand away and its tongue hangs out and both the calfs muzzel and your hand are completley covered in drewl.

    I also love when a horse (or boyfriend) puts his nose up to my head and it breaths out through its nose onto my neck and you get that shivery feeling down your back.

  28. When you listen to a song and the song has a climax that gives you chills down your spine and some weird emotional feeling that makes you feel like crying. The lyrics could be in a totally different language and you have no idea what the song is about but you feel it anyway. An example that works for me is “Nessun dorma” by Pavarotti and “the prayer” by Andrea Bocelli. There is just something really awesome about the pause before the climax of the song. you know its coming then the chill afterwards.

  29. Having someone try their best to belittle you in front of everyone and the look on their face when the realize it hasn’t fazed you at all and no one else is laughing either.

  30. I just found this site and love the list as well as everyone’s suggestions. I’m really curious as to what the first one’s were. Do you have a link to the first awesome things (#1 and on…) for those who just found you?
