What makes me happy and puts me in a happy mood:
Listening to my favourite band Icehouse Im a big fan of musician lead singer of Icehouse Iva Davies who I had a crush on when I was a teenager.

Watching funny movies such as Mr Bean.
Being around animals, pets.
Watching a movie with my favourite actor Jason Isaacs who plays Lucious Malfoy in Harry Potter.
Drawing, arts and craft and building model aircraft.
Having a good laugh with my close friends.

What makes me happy and puts me in a happy mood:

My family and adopted family (including my cats)
Walking and Planting
Organizing my room
Fabrics that are a specific texture, and food, especially salty lately, sea salt chips FTW
Any rubber-like substance with a specific texture, like those little hands that stick to things, that will make me extremely happy, slimy but not slimy, is a good bet, hard to describe.
The Office, I never get bored of that.
Video Games Occasionally: Especially The Legend of Zelda, and my 3ds, although occasionally I will play God of War (Which I love), but it is a bit violent for me (to be honest).
My manga (Otomen I am reading now), and recently I got a bunch of copies of the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Choose your Own Adventures (in very good condition)
Cake, especially cupcakes, custards, I love the texture of custards, coconut.

Playing my violin! And taking walks! And playing with my dolls!

Taking long drives in my 1963 Ford Thunderbird.

Midcentury modern anything...furniture, art, cars, architecture.

Computers. I work in IT so I spend most of my day hunkered down in front of a monitor. I handle new hardware requests, no feeling like unboxing a new computer. So exhilarating.

Cats, in general. I can't have any pets in my apartment, so I've adopted my best friends two tomcats as my own. They eat better than I do

Music. I'll listen to pretty much anything, and tend to jump from style to style. I can go from jazz one week, to death metal and punk the next.

Long walks, especially in fall. I love the feeling of a scarf against my skin in fall, so soothing.

Listening to The Kinks
Watching the Olympics
Going to Stepping Stones
Cooking a nice supper for myself
Working makes me happy

Lava Lamps
