I've been feeling kind of down lately so I thought I'd start one of these. It's easy to see everything in a negative light when you're having a bad day, but the truth is there usually is some good somewhere. Just try and find one good thing in your day, and if you can't find one, create one. Read your favorite book, write a story, watch your favorite show, listen to your favorite song, go for a walk as the sun is setting (sunsets are gorgeous and it's a surreal feeling walking around during the sunset), whatever makes you happy.
Today I was happy because I got to listen to some really good music.

today I was happy because Marethyu gave me many gummy bears (they're wayyyy too nice for his own good I swear—)
and because I didn't freak out at recess again from being surrounded by people like I often do so that was nice
and because I'm going to start revamping my co-written ski lodge because I'm freer now and I'm looking forward to that
(April 25, 2023 - 11:11 pm)
Yessss I love your ski lodge! You should absolutely keep working on it! Actually, your ski lodge is one of the things I read when I'm trying to channel my inner ridicoulousness. Also tell Marethyu hi! Gummy bears are great!
PS One thing that made me happy today was that I heard a great new song! It's called Rise, and the original song is by Jack & Jack and Jonas Blue, but the version I listened to was a cover by a band called Walk Off the Earth and it was really great!

:D That was definitely what made me happy today~ "inner ridicoulousness" thank you so much, high praise indeed.
Marethyu is currently reading over my shoulder (they insist saying "literally" here for a point I can't quite understand as there's not really a metaphor in that, but I digress—no, Marethyu, ur not a metaphor—sorry, please excuse us) oh and Marethyu would also like to say iihi (with three i's, specifically, although they didn't say where to put them until it was too late NOOOOOOo (direct quote)) and it's nice to see you again (still Marethyu) also Marethyu likes "bet on me" by walk of the earth, if you want to know or even if you don't it's too late for that now
sorry that paragraph probably made absolutely no sense... whoops :/
NOX SAYS {ehwax} WHICH CLEARLY MEANS EARWAX :D
(April 26, 2023 - 5:20 pm)
That paragraph absolutely made no sense, which is why it made me laugh, which made my day. Your CAPTCHA saying earwax, also made me smile, which is almost as good as laughing, so that also counts as making my day. My CAPTCHA only says boring things like <rrxen>. WHy does he always say something with an x in it? Can't he say something without it for once? (The answer to that question is no, he can't)
(April 28, 2023 - 12:03 pm)
Well we seem to be stuck in a loop because this made my day today :) Just the fact that you bothered to reply, I suppose.
Your CAPTCHA is clearly saying
...okay well i have no idea what your CAPTCHA is saying, so imma make something up...
CLEARLY saying 'wrecks one' bc if you sy rrxen out loud really fast it'll probably not sound anything like words but if you pretend it did, then you might get 'wrecks one' and quite frankly that's all I can think of right now so I'm going with it.
also, xes are great! very... crossy... I feel like I could make a great metaphor about intersectionality here but idrk...
Nox says {arpzw} which I have no clue which means—uhhhh grammar riiiiiight I have no clue what that means that's better
ookay this has dragged on long enough I'm sorry I keep doing this—
(April 30, 2023 - 1:24 pm)
Well hey guess what, I'll help expand the loop! This entire chain made me happy, and I loved seeing Hex write that paragraph while I literally, not metaphorically looked over their shoulder. (:
Also, someone who I think is really cool, but I don't have the confidence to walk over and say hi to them, sat with my group at lunch, so that made me really joyful!
Oh and unsurprisingly, my girlfriend was amazing and made me happy today :D
my captcha is xvfmy, have fun figuring out what that means
-Marethyu (they/she)
(May 2, 2023 - 3:34 pm)
BWAHAHA WE SHALL CONTINUE IN THE LOOP OF MAKING EACH OTHER'S DAYS!
This entire conversation makes my day. :D
Nox shoved too many oreos in their mouth, and now they're trying to say "oops" but it came out "arpz," and also sending crumbs flying everywhere. The W on the end is just filler 'cause every CAPTCHAs gotta be 5 characters.
Fluffles says <pgtyo>
(May 2, 2023 - 4:00 pm)
yay hi Marethyu—IT WAS IMPLIED THAT IT WAS LITERAL YOU DID NOT HAVE TO SPECIFY—okay. calm and collected. I can do this~
*me trying to remember who sat with us at lunch* do you mean D? D is cool. and yeah your girlfriend is amazing :)
xvfmy, hm... well I think that's the noise your CAPTCHA's stomach would make if it ever ate a banana. why I think that, I could not tell you—but perhaps that's part of the charm?
~~
ooh yay happiness loop, I could get behind that.
Scuttles. I have a very important question. how do you eat your oreos?? it can't be more barbaric than the way Marethyu eats their kit kats—it's truly horrifying *shudder shudder*
<pgtyo> must mean "pug to you" which I suppose is your CAPTCHA's form of an insult? maybe Fluffles is trying to tell you that your face looks like a pug. which could either be intrepreted as "your face is really squished and ugly and please get a new one" or "your face is adorably cute for some obscure reason I cannot fathom and why is it so cute." take your pick~
Nox says {ntmfu} hmm...

Cool people are cool! :D This whole conversation loop is continueing (I definetely spelled that wrong) to make me happy.
And I'll have you know I eat kitkats in the wrongest way possible, especially compared to other people who eat kitkats "the right way." Why are we discussing kitkats again? I have no idea. Also, is it kitkats, kit kats, kit-kats, or something else? Also the last time I ate a banana was last Friday at 3:23 am. Last Friday was a strange day.
Your CAPTCHA has TERRIBLE allergies and no matter HOW many antihistamines it takes it just CAN'T stop SNEEZING IT'S LITTLE EYES OUT, which is exactly what it is doing right there, and by the way can you tell I'm feeling very dramatic today? Also my CAPTCHA says <nuygh>.
Also buses made me happy today.

Oh and also I eat my oreos whole. I know. Everybody says the correct way to eat oreos is by splitting them in half and scraping off the filling and then eating the cookies, but as you know I take pride in eating things in the wrongest way possible, although technically oreos were meant to be eaten the way I eat them? so maybe it isn't the wrongest way, also did you know there are lady gaga oreos?

Today, I was happy because I was able to play tennis quite well.
I was also happy to be able to draw and see my freshly-cleaned room.
(April 26, 2023 - 7:13 pm)
Today I was happy because I had ice cream.
(April 26, 2023 - 7:32 pm)
this was like the one thing that made me happy today:
