That is what I do: I bring balance to this country.

My horoscope for today advises being balanced and saying nice things. Therefore, having posted 14 things that piss me off, I thought I'd now post 14 things that make me happy. Feel free to play with this list like the other one, if you like: Bold the ones that apply to you, then add three of your own.

1. Irish coffee. Stimulants and sedatives in the same cup - brilliant!
2. Sleeping in.
3. John Ashcroft's face, made of porn!
4. Literary in-jokes.
5. Comfortable shoes.
6. Finding things that aren't what you are looking for, but are nonetheless what you need.
7. Rube Goldberg machines.
8. Mutt dogs, especially those of improbable breed combinations.
9. Getting to leave work early.
10. Hedgehogs.
11. Men in kilts/skirts.
12. Kissing games.
13. Honey.
14. Monster movies.

Bonus points for the 0th thing that makes you happy being Johnny Depp, and working it into the subject line.

Had there been a #15, it very well might have been "When people get it". Bonus points for catching the reference as well as divining the motivation.

this will require further thought.

I think you have an ample amount of bonus points. I mean, after all, you let me wear your clothes on a fairly regular basis, which tend to be much more compelling than mine.

On that subject, I will give you back your skirt after it's been washed. It was, as I suspected, stunning with the thigh-high argyle socks. I think [livejournal.com profile] orcjohn can testify.

MMmmmm.... Irish Coffeeeeeee.... *drool*

Helpful Tip: If you use Irish cream, make sure you use St. Brendan's, not that Bailey's crap. I've been advised by the friendly liquor store employee that St. Brendan's is the only Irish cream that's still made with actual Irish whiskey.

Mmmm.... Irish cream...

In my world, Irish coffee is more likely to be coffee and whiskey, no cream.

I drink Irish cream in milk, or just sort of by the glass. And I've yet to meet any version of the stuff I don't like.

The John Ashcroft thing is brilliant, BTW.

Yup yup. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] maximumbob for finding that little nugget of joy. I think I've looked at more internet porn in the last day or so than ever since I first had internet, all due to that. So, well done there.

Wish I could take credit. I ganked that from somewhere else, I just can't remember who. Guess I'm getting senile as I approach my late 30's.

Still, it was the funniest damn thing I've seen in ages!
