After some discussion sparky77 and I have decided we're vetoing this month. (Did I not tell you, Q? Executive decision, baby!)

So, while we await the changing of the tide/moon/karma and the proliferation of male!skating!slash (don't front I know y'all are gonna turn this stuff out), I thought to myself, "Self, all is not flaming poo and Sarah Palin. There must be some things that make you happy."

So, this post is to talk about happy things.

Jeff Buckley bootlegs make me happy. So do puppies. Christina Hendricks (shocking). Really anthemic work out music (feel free to share if you've got some!). Finding new artists. Quality public transportation. Disney movies make me happy (except for, like, Snow White which freaked me out in my formative years). Old movies with Marilyn Monroe or Paul Newman. Musicals. Double whammy of The Daily Show and Colbert Report. My guitar. Bacon. Good stories fanfic or pro. Books.

I could go on all day. And I possibly will, but now it's your turn, we all know what pisses us off, but what makes you happy? Is it a story? A song? A photo? An old shirt? A movie?

I bet you'll feel better just talking about it!

Lovely timing, this.

Men carrying babies or toddlers. It hits a nerve that traditional feminine caretaking doesn't. There's nothing sexier than a man with broad shoulders with a sparkly magic wand in one hand and a sleeping fairy princess, her deelyboppers askew, sound asleep and drooling on his shoulder.

Holding hands. Romantically, platonicly, maternally. Comfort in touch.

Sitting on the sand and watching the waves roll in.

Walking between trees.

Witnessing strangers being happy. So thank you for this post.
