Why are you happy today?

[Tormuse]

Well, that certainly makes for happy times; Good for you, eMTe!

[Master_X]

I'm happy because I found a teleportation hack on TDP4 Team Battle (online multipleyer game, 3rd person shooter)

[Maz]

I am happy because I continued foreverlasting MazPong && remembered how fun it can be to have a hobby c-project =D

[eMTe]

I am happy, because I have run (circa) 12 kms and I feel good. Nothing's better before a mountain trip, but sad fact is - when you face a 1-1,5 km elevations (having in mind the whole trip) your running usually seems to be futile. But it works on the psychological level.

Regarding general things - I am happy, because I bought a ticket for September concerts of Sigur Ros and Kronos Quartet.

Regarding aforementioned trips...

[eMTe]

I am happy, because I finished the second chapter of my book.

[Pater Alf]

I'm happy, because a friend of mine and me finally built my new computer: AMD FX-8120 processor (3.1 Ghz), 8 Ghz Ram, 1 GB XFX Radeon graphics card, 2 TB HDD. Much, much better than my old one!

[Maz]

I am happy because my youngest son (2 and a half days now) got rid of the breathing machine (respirator?). He was a bit of a hasty fellow, decided to get out almost two months too early... So lungs aren't fully developed yet - thus a bit of a rough start. But it's amazing how something that seems so fragile can be so unbelievable though. =)

[eMTe]

Good to hear!

[Tormuse]

Wow! Glad to hear he's doing better, Maz! I can only imagine how scary an experience that must be to go through!

As for me, I just got my internet connection back up after a virus took my computer out of commission for a week, so that's my reason to be happy.

[Chroelle]

Maz...how the... a newborn son.... how did I miss that you were even expecting one...!!!

CONGRATS ON HIM, and on getting him off the machine! I can only imagine...no I CANNOT imagine what that must have been like! I just know that I am sure it was one of the hardest things you have ever gone through.

[eMTe]

Again, it is that time of the year when green and blue live together in perfect harmony.

[Chroelle]

I loved looking at pictures (or even better sceneries) like that when I was a kid, because I was trying to find out where a road that disappeared behind a hill would appear again. Wondering if the road in the middle right is ending up connecting to the road in the middle left...

[Zyx]

The graphics card I've been anxiously waiting for finally was in stock. I think I managed to grab one of the few still in stock from the web store, which makes me happy.

If I didn't manage, then... not happy.

[Zyx]

I'm happy because I finally got my spanking new Nvidia GTX 670 on Friday. The only downside is that I really should work on my academic paper instead.

[eMTe]

I'm happy because I finally got my spanking

I was embarrassed for a while, before I read the whole sentence.

[Railwaymodeler]

I'm very happy today - today is Maria's birthday. She's 35 as of today.

[Railwaymodeler]

Happy today because Maria and I are at camp with Skoda, who has become a bit of a celebrity around here! Up here until at least Sunday. So peaceful and quiet. Plus it is very nice hear weather-wise. About 75 degrees Fahrenheit, low humidity, with a slight breeze. Back in Illinois is is very hot and very humid, and generally uncomfortable from what I hear.

It's a bit of surprise that it's Netherlands, but also the proof that things are not that wrong as they sometimes seem.

Yes, I am happy.

Not enough information there to tell whether this is victory or oppression.
