I've made 66 meatballs.

I went rockhunting.

My 1985 Ibanez Roadstar bass. Amazing instrument. Worth around $2000 and I got it for $400. The thing sounds amazing, has a japanese neck (which are great necks), has my favourite pickup configuration (precision/jazz) and looks pretty good too.

I'll keep it forever. :3

The sun made me happy.

Those red jackets make me happy.

a particular traffic light that is usually red every time i encounter it, irritates me to the point that i am already angry at it before i round the bend and receive the data as to whether it is red or not.

it almost always is red, and i am pessimistic (by default) about the prospects of it being green for me, and i develop a negative attitude when i remember it which is about 500 meters before i get to it.
at that point i have not yet seen it, but the damage is done anyway.

today, the light was green, and i was quite pleasantly surprised and relieved that i did not have to experience the "double whammy" of both an "actual" red light, as well as my already experienced experience of an "expected" red light.

anyway i was quite chirpy in my mind for a while (it was a reasonable distance to the next set of traffic lights), but then i saw to my horror that a car was broken down in the lane that i needed to be in to turn left, and i got squashed into a compression of merging cars, and i was held up for about the same amount of time as i am usually held up by the previous green light.

as i drove past her car i thought "you b***h! you robbed me of my 'green light windfall'. it would have been easier for you to have just ran back there and pressed the pedestrian crossing button than to disable your car to achieve it".

then as i drove off into the road i turned into, i started to laugh to an extreme degree because i became aware of a certain absurd aspect of the whole situation, and i found it inescapably humorous.

so, even though i was robbed of my green light, i was payed back with hilarity later on.

My office mate is gone for 2+ weeks! Yipee!

Crocheting.

this horsey! :3

Waking up and not weighing 425 pounds made me pretty happy alright,

I told my therapist today I feel more social and less anxious since I finished the last dosage of anti-anxiety medicine and he told me I do look much calmer... I wonder what that means but I feel happy about it anyway. I even smile at strangers on the street now [something I never liked doing] and I also said hello to a total stranger. It just felt natural and I didn't feel shy or anxious! yay! My mind seems to have cleared up now and my decisions seems to be more solid than before
