How do you know it wasn't me planning to steal your sausages? 😉

Hyzenthlay July 23rd, 2022 3:33 AM

This time, watching The Orphan Brother (1961). Going in I was not expecting such a story. And I wasn't expecting to cry but I definitely did! What a beautiful film. <3

Retek July 23rd, 2022 5:57 AM

Really really REALLY EXCITED on seeing the teaser for John Wick Chapter 4! SO GOOD!

iLudoGirl July 23rd, 2022 8:42 AM

My husband has a laminator (sp?) at his work. He showed me what he printed and laminated for us for our new apartment. He printed movie covers for behind the TV and Pokemon and Ludo pictures for my PC area. He just shown me the pictures he got from his phone of us and family to put up as well. ♡

Starlight July 23rd, 2022 8:47 AM

Honestly just nice people!

Also discovering a band (I kind of knew them but not properly so ty Inky) whose back catalogue I intend to dig though properly 🎵

Arcaneum July 24th, 2022 10:58 PM

Bacon sarnies - not gunna lie having them on the morning just before a big trip out kinda hits different

Roni July 25th, 2022 8:29 AM

Seeing my partner finally buy and set-up a bed frame after years of sleeping on the floor. Finally she no longer needs to squat every time she wants to lie down + unlocked extra storage space underneath her bed~

Hyzenthlay July 26th, 2022 1:15 AM

My dentist saying I've got good teeth. :D

iLudoGirl July 26th, 2022 8:01 AM

Thinking about getting our budget back on track. Still debt free but after getting out of our converted van into an expensive apartment - it has put my budgeting brain in a swirl but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! And get ourselves back on track! Budgeting makes me happy 😆

My aunt's out of town, meaning I have the entire house all to myself for a couple days <3

Starlight July 30th, 2022 12:43 PM

Some awesome news from a friend! I'm so happy for them <3

Retek July 30th, 2022 7:19 PM

Pitch Meeting videos by Screenrant! Honestly recommend them so much to everyone if they wanna have a good laugh!

Arcaneum July 31st, 2022 3:41 PM

Playing Jackbox with friends!

pkmin3033 August 2nd, 2022 3:15 AM

Fate/Grand Order finally released in the UK today! I can't be bothered to try and jailbreak my iPad, and I sure as hell don't want to play it on my laptop through an independent client, so I've never had the opportunity to try it. Even if I end up disliking it - and I probably will, because mobile games and I don't get along, and I have a particular distaste for gacha - it's nice that I've finally got the chance to experience it for myself.

ZeoStar August 2nd, 2022 5:17 PM

Improvements with digestion.

I was able to finish my entire plate at a restaurant without any pain or issue.

Mintaka☆ August 3rd, 2022 6:59 AM

The fact I'll potentially start building the circuit for my PIU pad today after a hiccup with the wire gauge/size, and that my last purchase wasn't a complete waste. I used the spare wire to make some connection test runs that worked, and even found a way to use the oversized heat shrink tubes!

Also, Paldean Wooper and the new buff dude from the trailer whose name we don't know but whom I believe will certainly be in my mind a lot if I get SV.

Arcaneum August 3rd, 2022 8:31 AM

P A L D E A N W O O P E R Y E S S S S

What an absolute treasure, had me beaming the minute I saw it.

Oh also having a half day for work today was nice.

Hyzenthlay August 9th, 2022 6:37 AM

My students' reactions when they received their gifts! Seeing them take photos and smiling just made me so happy :')

VisionofMilotic August 12th, 2022 5:42 PM

I had a nice communication with a YouTuber. I was doing some geography research, and found some helpful information in one of his videos. I left a comment with a question, and he replied, and helped me out.

Palamon August 12th, 2022 9:46 PM

Two people told me that I did a good job on my (failed attempt) to draw Arceus. The head came out really good, though.

Mintaka☆ August 13th, 2022 11:52 AM

Accidentally accessing PokeCommunity in Incognito mode on Chrome and seeing the Johto Elite Four... or rather, just Koga.

I changed my theme back to that immediately after.

Sheep August 14th, 2022 1:20 AM

Delicious white fruity tea and Lindt chocolate. Am happi.

Hyzenthlay August 14th, 2022 2:19 AM

Today is the 3.5 year anniversary for my partner and I. 😊

Fact Checking Gardevoir August 15th, 2022 12:31 AM

Happy and grateful for the new profile a friendly favourite Sylveon friend of mine made for me!

ReKoil August 18th, 2022 7:57 AM

Digging through some storage boxes at my parents and finding most if not all of my Pokemon TCG collection from back when I was a kid.
The organization is a mess though.... lmfao I'll dig through it properly some other time, I only had a quick glance.

What I also found was a binder with Pokemon Flippo's with the Lays brand in it as well as some Pokemon coin collection. I don't remember either, but according to the info in the flippo binder it was from my 6th year in elementary school =O

VisionofMilotic August 19th, 2022 10:36 AM

I looked up this morning and a Gardevoir had teleported into the Trivia section, taking her rightful place on staff with us :)

ZeoStar August 19th, 2022 10:49 AM

The customer service agent who stuck with me over 4 hours.

I am awfully sick and I know I wasn't offering the greatest communication, but he managed to fix every issue I had.

Thank you, and congratulations! Very proud of you as you seem well suited for the position.

I thought it was a small computer issue, turns out I had an entire corrupted hard drive. He managed to fix the entire issue saving me from needing my warranty. Hopefully I will find a place to put in a good word for his service.

Starlight August 21st, 2022 12:06 PM

The very real possibility to tick another big item off my bucket list. I've done everything I can, so I just need some luck now🤞

VisionofMilotic August 21st, 2022 12:08 PM

A friend online told me that she was able to come out of the closet to friends offline, and was met with such love and acceptance. It did my heart good to hear her story, and also see a delightful self-portrait that she made.

RadEmpoleon August 21st, 2022 1:20 PM

I wrote a review of a rhythm game on another forum, and after I finished I went to play it, and got an all perfect on one of my favorite songs in the game!!

Mintaka☆ August 22nd, 2022 11:07 AM

I got to playtest my modded PIU pad today after a month of work! It didn't work perfectly and it might need another round of improvements, but I still had fun. It's good enough to keep like this for some more time before I go back to the drawing table.

VisionofMilotic August 24th, 2022 5:44 PM

Finding out that I might get some student loan debt forgiveness.

Sothis August 24th, 2022 8:06 PM

Finding new songs!

Watching The Batman in the plane :O

That soundtrack, that Batman,, that Riddler!

But I didn't like the part where Batman had feelings lol, I didn't know he had any

Mintaka☆ August 25th, 2022 11:50 AM

September final exam boards got cancelled/postponed until November in my school. Even though I'm slightly miffed because I wanted to get the Linguistics final off my shoulders as soon as possible, I'm also relieved because I can review at a much less hectic pace and get other stuff done in the meanwhile.

VisionofMilotic August 26th, 2022 12:16 PM

I got paid today. People also went crazy over the brownies I baked and shared at work. I heard every compliment from "delicious" to "Mmmmmmmmmm,hmmm,mmmmm" and 'these are the best brownies I have ever had!"

Another thing that made me smile is petting my silly cat, and talking to my big sweet dog.

Starlight August 27th, 2022 4:35 AM

I got a lovely compliment from someone yesterday and I remembered it this morning 😊

Eleanor August 27th, 2022 12:11 PM

The support from my friends ♡

Hyzenthlay August 29th, 2022 12:42 AM

Still on such a happy rush from my day out with friends and family at a medieval festival, everyone there was super friendly and these memories will keep me warm for the rest of my life, I'll treasure them! <3

RadEmpoleon August 30th, 2022 12:19 PM

My little succulent plant has been droopy for a few weeks, but now it looks like she's standing up again! (I accidentally killed my previous succulent, so I'm trying to take better care of this one)

VisionofMilotic September 1st, 2022 10:19 AM

Got a check in the mail for a few hundred dollars out of a class action lawsuit, and cashed it. I also got some early birthday gifts from friends since I wouldn't be in town during the weekend for the day itself. I haven't opened the boxes yet. I am going to be patient and wait until Sunday. I love the pretty cupcake-shaped box that one of the presents came in, so cute!

Eleanor September 1st, 2022 11:37 AM

I received my skates and got the very basics down! If you know me you'll know how important this is (sorry for all the times I bothered you about skating btw) ♥

ZeoStar September 1st, 2022 12:47 PM

I knew a user on a previous forum who was making gaming content on YouTube as a hobby. That forum is shutdown, however upon checking up on his YouTube channel I can see he is now verified with millions of views on some of his videos. His subscriber count is over 250K.

I am so proud.

Starlight September 2nd, 2022 5:46 AM

Some unexpected poetry success and also being able to see a view I haven't seen in quite some time!

pixelated_pat September 3rd, 2022 12:10 AM

It was positive vibes and good music all around my job today :)

Starlight September 3rd, 2022 4:14 AM

The news that NASA are pretty confident the first SLS launch in the Artemis program will actually go ahead today! Fingers crossed and can't wait!!!

Eleanor September 4th, 2022 11:26 AM

More skating but this time, with one of my best friends and at a rink! I'm still trying to process this but saying it made me happy is more of an understatement, you know? ♥

Mintaka☆ September 5th, 2022 12:06 PM

Applied for remote work at a local English institute. I doubt I'll get hired because I don't have my degree yet, but the fact I at least tried to get a job out of the usual in-person classroom environment feels great.

EDIT: I got a reply from the staff to go meet them for an interview on Thursday! I'm trying to keep my expectations low but at the same time it's hard not to get absolutely HYPED!!!

Sweet Serenity September 7th, 2022 6:04 PM

I managed to go 12-2 tonight when battling in Doubles against other players. That made me smile.

RadEmpoleon September 7th, 2022 8:26 PM

I watched a Youtube video where someone cosplayed as my favorite character from a video game. That enough made me happy. I had to go to class right after, and I was listening to music on the way there. Some good bops came on, which made me even happier. Then later today, a favorite Youtuber of mine posted a new video (she had a baby recently so she hasn't been uploading but she's back!)

Today was a good day. I was a very happy camper.

Hyzenthlay September 12th, 2022 5:57 AM

My tutor asking me if she can use part of my essay to demonstrate a good example to students, which makes me happy because I've utterly exhausted every ounce of energy getting these assignments in between other deadlines! Glad it's payed off!

Fact Checking Gardevoir September 13th, 2022 7:39 AM

Getting to learn more about what I will do next month for my job, and liking it!

Mintaka☆ September 13th, 2022 8:02 PM

Today I finally submitted all the documents I needed to have my mom's surname legally added. That, in turn, means I'll actually see both surnames in my college diploma. In just 20 days I'll get my new birth certificate and entry, and I'll be able to get a new ID among other things.

20 days!! I couldn't be happier!!

RadEmpoleon September 13th, 2022 8:31 PM

I went to a first club meeting and we played trivia, and my team thought we got a bunch wrong. Turns out we won!! We each got little baggies with FUZZY SOCKS, candy, and little containers of play doh!! :)

Starlight September 14th, 2022 7:16 AM

Wonderful peeps checking up on me <3

Mintaka☆ September 14th, 2022 11:06 AM

I got the official all-clear on my broken leg after four or so years! I still have to go for yearly checks with my traumatologist, but it's all healed. There's no damage to the IM nail from playing PIU either, which means I can keep doing it as my main form of exercise!

Also, my local book fair will take place a month and a half earlier than it usually does, starting on October 1st instead of the second week of November. That means I'll be able to zoom in while I get all my papers in order and get some more books in English!

Went on a walk with my dog, and he walked a good distance, all the way to a local church parking lot from my house. Because he's an older boy, 10 years, and a big breed, every step he takes makes me proud and happy that he's here.

He's a little slow to rise to his feet sometimes, but I have learned if I sing a song then he gets excited and will jump up and start walking.

ZeoStar September 25th, 2022 1:01 PM

Slightly uneasy with heights. But I'm glad I did it.

I did already have these mythicals... it's just more special when you redeem/claim them yourself.

I just found a Shiny Mareep in Xenoverse while looking for a Sparkowl with Motor Drive! The best thing is, I might have manifested his appearance because I thought, "I'm gonna find a pink sheep before I find that dumb bird." Lo and behold, his name is Cloud. Bye-bye Sparkowl line, I'm gonna use Ampharos for the third time in this game. :D

Bonus points: I named the MC after the game's edgelord rival Trey, as a test run for my fic. Now I can't stop imagining said edgelord rival with a pink Ampharos.
