do you get overly excited about seemingly small things?

i tend to get too exuberant and bubbly and happy about stuff, and i forget that not everyone likes the same things that i do.

for example, after a big rain there is occasionally a very large puddle that my city bus has to drive through, as the road has a big dip in it. it is so deep that the bus makes a big loud SPLOOSH and water splashes about 10 or 20 feet away (not sure how far, as i am on the bus and cannot see). i look forward to this and i like sitting on the side of the bus that drives through it.

i was telling someone about it and they were rolling their eyes and getting impatient with my story. so i said to them that the puddle makes me happy and they said, "well, i drive through puddles all the time and i already know what's it's like. it's really not that exciting."

they were reminding me that i was getting excited about something that is boring or normal to other people, because i forget that a lot. i also get excited about sparkly things or sudden gusts of wind (many other things too, but you know what i mean).

sometimes i get on people's nerves quite badly, and they can't handle me for long periods of time as i am too excitable. it makes me feel a bit bad, like i can be annoying to hang out with.

are you like that about stuff (even if it isn't your special interest?)?

I'm getting a baritone ukulele on Sunday. I'm literally beside myself with excitement. D:

that's cool! do people in real life understand your excitement?

My sister's mostly like, "It's just a ukulele..." I tried explaining to her why it makes me so excited but she doesn't understand.

I love heavy rain or snowfall as well. My sister actually agrees with that.

do you like hail too? i like to go out in it but sometimes i get too scared and just stick my arm outside.

We actually don't get hail around where I live, but I do think it's quite interesting when I go to a place that does. I usually go out after and examine the haikstones. They're very strange creations of nature.

Oh yes

I've developed a habit of talking/acting like a small child from time to time, including squeaks and meow-type noises when excited (yes it's some sort of regression) think Bubbles from The PowerPuff Girls meets Snarf from Thundercats to get an idea of how I sometimes talk and noises I make, and now imagine this PowerPuff/Thundercats hybrid on crack - this is me excited about STUFF.

Cats (meow-meows), horses (ponies), cupcakes, shiny things, red things, shoes, marbles...some sort of pretty thing in a shop...then there are things like playing in the sea, or in a rain puddle - I can relate, when you explain it with the same sort of excitement as you'd expect from a child, it's not childishness as much as joyfulness...but alas others are not so joyful, find such things boring or annoying.

I'm told this makes me a. cute and b. lame

EXACTLY! they are fun to inspect.

and it is exciting and a little scary for me when the hail is falling down!

I get really excited when I see a YouTube video of a Kinks song that hasn't been on YouTube for a while. I get really excited and I have to post it in the Song Thread in Random Discussion. I know that most people aren't really that interested and the high functioning among the younger members might actually be irritated with me. I do it anyways. I'm begining to care less what some younger people think of those habits.

Whatever I get excited over, I consider a pretty "big" thing. However, it may seem like a small thing to others, and the same may be true for my views of their important, exciting events.
I don't get overly excited very often, though. I don't jump up and down, laughing and squealing, but I do find myself very much looking forward to and anticipating events.
