eight four

The movie Little Miss Sunshine makes me happy.

Why?  It's about a totally screwed up family.  The little girl in it, Olive, wants to be a dancer and a beauty queen.  She's not exactly that fit though and not what most weirdos would consider model material.  Her brother wants to join the air force and refuses to speak to anyone until he reaches his goal.  Their dad is a motivational writer that's obsessed with his work.  No one really cares about him.  His wife chain smokes continuously and just wants a normal life.  Her brother gets stuck living with them after he tries to commit suicide.  He's also gay and he pretty much hates her husband, but that feeling is mutual.  Olive's grandfather does crack or heroin (I can't remember) and ends up ODing on the family's road trip to California.  The movie is almost painful to watch but it's funny...  In a really messed up way.  Anyways, it's R rated so don't watch it unless your parents don't care or you're old enough to not have to get parental consent and whatnot.

eight three

Morgan Freeman makes me happy.

Why? All of his performances are stellar.  He's just an inspiring person in my opinion.  He's a very good actor and unlike most he's great at playing all sorts of roles.  I like signing my friends' yearbooks and letters with his name.  Just because I'm not particularly fond of my name and I just like doing stuff like.  It's fun.  I also like addressing letters to friends with the name Cindy Lauper.  Because I'm cool like that.  Not really.  Anyways, that was off topic.  Morgan Freeman is an outstanding performer.  Go watch The Art Heist or Feast of Love or something.

eight two

Kids in middle school that have the decency to not do drugs make me happy.

Why?  People that smoke and stuff before the age of sixteen just look stupid.  And I'm not saying it's okay for high schoolers to drop acid and whatnot.  They can just do it without looking like they're total buttfaces that are going to drop out of school ASAP, get preggers, and start a really dumb band that everyone hates.  Sorry for being mean, but middle schoolers are still children in my opinion.  Children should not be doing drugs.  And I guess older people shouldn't do them either.  Especially not the illegal ones.  Okay, cool people that take care of themselves.

eight one

VW vans make me happy.

Why?  They're the most beautifully psychedelic cars in existence.  I want a bright orange one like the one from the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.  I think that might make my life complete.  At least mostly. But I can't drive yet so I don't have to worry about that yet.

eight zero

NYLON magazine makes me happy.

Why?  It's the only magazine I actually read.  It has interesting articles on indie bands and Sundance films.  I also really love the clothing and make up stuff in it.  Sorry for being such a girl.  Reading magazines kind of makes me feel like an air-head sometimes.  But you know, they are lots of fun.

seven nine

The movie Sherlock Holmes makes me happy.

Why?  I saw it in theatre twice.  Once with my family and once with my friends.  It was more fun with my friends because we almost got kicked out.  Well, Grace and I didn't but everyone else almost did.  We were like throwing popcorn and whispering ferociously.  Actually, I started the whole popcorn thing.  I can't help it, I love food fights.  But yeah, I made everyone laugh with my comments about how Robert Downey Jr. ate like a sexy person.  It was really just a big joke, but we had a freakishly amazing time.  Sometimes being a teenager is okay.

seven eight

Paul Simon makes me happy.

Why?  He has a gorgeous voice and a song about Kodachromes.  My mother turned me into a giant fan about two years ago.  His songs are fun to listen to really loud while going on massive road trips.  But that's pretty much the best way to listen to listen to all music now that I think about it.

seven seven

Peter Pan makes me happy.

Why?  He doesn't want to grow up.  He knows being old is totally not cool and real bad-asses are kids forever.  He's also friends with a fairy and he can fly.  What isn't there to love about him?  In my opinion Wendy shouldn't have left the poor bloke.  He's all for fun and not brushing teeth.  He also had that wicked indian headdress that a gal like me would kill for.

seven six

The show Freaks and Geeks makes me happy.

Why?  It has the adorable James Franco as well as Seth Rogen in it and it was produced by Judd Apatow.  It's genuinely funny and I used to watch it nearly everyday.  I really wish it hadn't been canceled so soon.  The music in it was also fun and so was the story.

seven five

Friends that don't say bad things about their friends to other people make me happy.

Why?  They're sweet.  And I admit, I've done it several times before.  I'm pretty sure all of my buddies have said at least one negative thing about me behind my back.  But we really just shouldn't.  It's not cool.  Like, I remember two years ago two of my friends came to me to tell me that the other was a bitch within the same our.  That wouldn't have bugged me so much but they had claimed to be best friends since kindergarden and that really does make me mad.  They still don't like each other too much but they pretend to be besties and it makes me want to puke.  I wish they could just admit it to each other.  I'm going to try slowly to stop doing that.  Journals are for venting, people not so much...

seven four

April Hornbuckle makes me happy.

Why?  She's really been my closest friend since we met in the fifth grade.  We never ever shut up and we love a lot of the same stuff.  She's a total nutcase and she should probably be put in a mental home.  But then again, that can be said for most of my friends.  Basically, I'm just glad there are other losers out there like me that are overly obsessed with the arts.  I love you guys!  (By the way don't be jealous if you read this and you aren't April, I plan on making posts like this for everyone of you guys.  And I've also already made one for Amberleigh. Mkay? Mkay.  Hugs and air kisses!)

seven three

Thai food makes me happy.

Why?  It's very good.  I mean, if I didn't like it then theoretically it wouldn't make me happy.  It's probably my favorite type of food.  And if you know me then you know I like to eat.  But unfortunately getting "exotic" food where i live can be incredibly difficult at times.

seven two

Dance Dance Revolution makes me happy.

Why?  I used to play it at one of my friend's house.  I got really good at it and I just remembered it.  I miss it, too bad that friend thinks I'm a total freak now.  Shoot, does anyone know if they still make it?  I really want to play it now.  Crap.  Hahaha, I'm  kind of a loser; but man that game was fun.  So was being a real kid.

seven one

The fact that I don't want to go to my doctors appointment on Monday makes me happy.

Why?  Most of the doctors I've met are creeps and I'm glad I haven't forgotten.  I also have to get some vaccines and those are really creepy.  Not as bad as having blood drawn though, I had to do that a few months ago.  I cried my butt off.  I really am a wimp.

seven zero

The song Sleepyhead by Passion Pit makes me happy.

Why?  It's nuts.  Besides that, I don't know how to explain it but you really must listen to it.

six nine

Proper grammar makes me happy.

Why?  I don't feel very connected to all of this LOL and BRB stuff.  I don't understand it, whatever happened to kids that knew how to type?  I'm  tellin' ya, people just keep on getting lazier and lazier.  It also irks me when people capitalize every other letter in sentences they type/text.  I really should've been born earlier so that I wouldn't have to go to school with cellphone crazed kids.  It really is a nightmare.

six eight

Wishing for things at eleven eleven makes me me happy.

Why?  I normally forget about it and when I actually remember I feel proud of myself.  I also think it works sometimes.  But maybe I've just been wishing for things that were likely to happen anyway.

six seven

People that think going to tanning salons is stupid make me happy.

Why? They're right.

six six

Thinking about playing patty cake with Sid Vicious makes me happy.

Why? It would be so surreal.

six five

Doc Martens make me comfy.

Why? I get made fun of them every time I wear them but I think they look cool and they're actually really comfortable.

six four

Indie pop makes me happy.

Why? Because it's not Ke$ha and it's actually good. Don't be offended if you like mainstream pop, please. Some of it's not that bad, like Lady Gaga. I love how controversial her work is. And her videos are very artistic. And her music is good too. But mainstream music isn't really my thing.

six three

Songs that seem to have no meaning that actually do really make me happy.

Why? They're just cool. I'm really talking about the song Of Moons, Birds, and Monsters by MGMT. I can't help it; I listen to them a lot.

six two

My Diana F+ makes me happy.

Why? It's gorgeous, love-able, and by far the coolest camera I've ever owned. I love film cameras. They're way cooler than digital cameras. Sorry for using the word camera so much.

six one

Ignorant people make me happy.

Why? They don't really make me happy, but they do make me laugh sometimes. I was thinking about how we had this debate in my social studies class about evolution. One team said that there was nothing in The Bible that science went against. I sat there wondering what the hell they were talking about. I mean, there are people in the bible that like to be like... four hundred or something. That's not possible, right? Right.

six zero

Guys that wear weird stuff like bright turquoise tropical bellbottoms in public make me happy.

Why? They're the coolest people on earth.

five nine

Once my cousin chugged some vodka because she was thirsty and she thought it was water. I wasn't there but I was told about it and it made me happy.

Why? Well, it basically just made me laugh a ton because she had been swimming for two hours or something and someone left a glass of vodka by the pool. I guess I'm sort of a bad person for being amused by that. Oh well.

five eight

Peanut Butter makes me happy.

Why? It's absolutely delicious and yet so disgusting. Watching dogs eat it is quite amusing as well.

five seven

The Internet Movie Database, IMDb, makes me happy.

Why? It's very useful! Like just two days ago I found out that the was going to be a Kick-Ass 2, I was thrilled. That's not exactly the right word. Umm, excited? I don't know. And sorry for typing a "dirty" word. It's not my fault the movie has that title.

five six

Brief moments of insanity make me happy.

Why? They're just so much fun.

five five

Christopher Mint-Plasse's (McLovin' from Superbad) character in the movie Marmaduke makes me happy.

Why? He played this really ugly dog that was like... terrified of being eaten by a puma. I'm also a big fan of that actor too. I mean, I don't think it's possible to watch Superbad and not love McLovin'.

five four

The fact that Jonah Hill and Russell Brand made-out at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards makes me happy.

Why? It was hilarious, they're both completely insane.

five three

Guys that have incredibly high singing voices make me happy.

Why? They sound friggin' awesome!!! Guys that sing in general are cool too.

five two

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus makes me happy.

Why? It was Heath Ledger's last film. And I love Heath Ledger. The movie was also super awesome. My mom said it looked a lot like Monty Python. Anyways, it was just very good and very very weird.

five one

Dreaming about going to Hogwarts makes me happy.

Why? I secretly wish I was Harry Potter's sister. I really think it would be awesome to be a witch.

Why? It's so so so delicious and unhealthy.

four nine

People that hate Facebook make me happy.

Why? Facebook is stupid and I hate how obsessed the website is with being modern.

four eight

The song The Youth makes me happy.

Why? Well, it's by MGMT and they're my favorite band and I think basically all of their songs are incredible pieces of art. The lyrics are also amazing. Here they are: This is a call to arms to live and love and sleep together. We could flood the streets with love or lights or heat, whatever. Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout and wave your hands. Make it rain, the stars will rise again. The youth is starting to change. Are you starting to change? Are you together? In a couple years, tides have changed from boos to cheers and in spite of weather, we can learn to make it together. Mkay, now that I've wasted my time typing that you should go listen to the song.

four seven

Playing tag with little kids makes me happy.

Why? Little kids are adorable and playing tag with them makes me feel like a kindergardener again.

four six

Not listening to "emo" music makes me happy.

Why? I'm sorry, but for the most part I just don't like it. And I don't like people that consider/wish they were emo. Life sucks for everyone, gaah not just you.

four five

Guys that don't lie to girls make me happy.

Why? Come on, no one likes liars.

four four

English teachers make me happy.

Why? Umm that's only partially true. Some English teachers aren't so great, but I love Mrs. Turner!!!

four three

bandanas make me happy.

Why? They look wicked when they're rolled up and tied to heads... So like, bandanas being used as headbands are awesome. They're also cool on cowboy puppets and stuff.

four two

Friends that aren't jerks make me happy.

Why? Nice people are cool.

four one

Why? Okay, I wish I could be Hit-Girl when I grow up.

Why? It's annoying and very easy to laugh about.

three two

Jerry Garcia makes me happy.

Why? He's uber sexy. Well, not really but his music is umm breathtaking. That's not the right word, but I can't think of a better one right now.

Why? Soy milk is yummy. And cool people do drink it. But so do losers like me.

Why? It's my favorite word. I think people should use it more often.

two nine

two eight

My new tie-dye background makes me happy.

Why? It's so hideous and Sarah-like. It basically just makes me laugh.

two seven

The fact that the word hipster sounds incredibly dumb makes me happy.

Why? The world needs more dumb sounding names in my opinion.

two six

The Tower of Terror makes me happy.

Why? I went on it when I went to Disney and it was just really funny. I hate roller coasters but rides that just go straight up and down are the bomb. Like, I laughed all the way through the ride because I couldn't stop thinking about how the hologram ghost people in the ride looked like they belonged in Star Wars.

Brooklyn makes me happy.

Why? I went there to visit my cousin last summer and it was the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Not beautiful in the way people typically think. I don't know, it's hard to explain, but I hope I'll be able to live there when I grow up and finish college.

Why? Music lovers are amazing. And I just like Jac Vanek's clothing and wristbands.

six

Kids with big dreams make me happy.

Why? Kids that only care about eating as many Kit-Kats as possible are obnoxious. When I was little all I cared about was going to Oxford and being a fairy. Or a cat. I think that counts as big, right?

five

Guys that think girls that wear glasses are especially cute make me happy.

Why? They usually are!!! In my opinion at least.

People that THINK they're hippies make me happy.

Why? They have good taste in music and clothing. I just don't really do stereotypes so yeah, that's what the THINK thing is all about. Real hippies are old now and they're really awesome too.
