Part seven.

31. Smiling at random people and getting one in return. It always makes me feel good if I smile at some old person and they smile back at me. I feel like maybe I’ve made their day or something; not many people take the time to stop and smile at people anymore. And sometimes it makes my own day to get a smile. So I hope it makes them a little happier, too.

32. Going back and looking at really old pictures. I like to go back and remember how everything was. It’s fun to see the differences, I think, but that might just be me. And whenever I see old pictures all these old funny memories pop into my head as well, so I’m laughing by the time I’m done looking at the pictures.

33. The TV show “Doug”. I don’t really remember exactly what it was about, though I do have a vague recollections of a dog (named Porkchop!), a blue guy, a mean green guy called Roger, and something about the lockeness monster. I do remember it was a good show, though. And thinking about it makes me happy.

34. Spatulas. They’re used to make eggs; pancakes; gravy. Plus they have a cool name. Spatula. Just say it. Out loud. Right now. Spat-chuu-laaa. Makes you happy, doesn’t it?

35. Planners. I never actually use them, but it’s something about their potential that makes me feel good. Like, “One day I’m going to do something really epic. It could be any of these days. And I bet I’m going to write it right here in this planner.” Yes, I do have a weird thought process.

Part six.

26. Getting Mail. Getting mail makes me feel important or something. I’m glad someone’s taken their time to sit down and write me something; then use their money to buy an envelope and a stamp so they’d be able to send it to me. Plus I love to write back. It gives me some kind of purpose for a minute; something to do. So you should so send me a letter sometime if you know me.

27. Fuze. I’m drinking one right now, and it’s good. It’s fruity and good and healthy and taste like summer, to me. It’s making me pretty happy at the moment. So it makes the list.

28. Bubble Gum. What’s not to like about it? It’s all good tasting and you can blow bubbles with it. It’s a source of entertainment, and it helps me concentrate when I’m trying to do something important. Though it sometimes gets on people’s every-living nerves when I walk around smacking gum, it still makes me happy. You can’t frown and chew gum. That’s a fact.

29. New Notebooks. There’s something about the emptiness of them that make me happy. No, scratch that. It’s not the emptiness. It’s just when I look at the blank pages, it makes me happy to think of how one day it’ll be filled with my words. And my words could say anything, and it’s just one of those infinite possibilities that makes me giddy.

30. Giving people money. I can’t explain this one. It just does. Not really a lot of money. Sometimes just a dollar. Or even just fifty cents. I’ll give it to a little kid I see at church or something. Or if someone sends me a letter, I’ll mail them back a response with a little bit of money in it as well. I figure, what’s the harm? It’ll only help. It’ll be a pleasant surprise to them, and I can really get along with maybe a dollar fifty less than I had before.

Part five.
21. Water guns. Who doesn’t love running around with a giant tank of water and soaking everybody with it? Adults? Yeah, BS. Everybody likes having a good time. Even the oldies.

22. Ridiculously catchy songs. Like, the ones that you can seriously hate but just cannot help singing along to happily when they play on the radio? Those are the best. They have a good feel to them, or something.

23. Helium balloons. They’re all awesome and they float in the air, and if you suck the helium out of them your voice sounds all cool. I do not even care how ridiculous/immature/weird this explanation sounds. I’m tired.

24. Scooby-Doo band aids. I am currently sporting one on my right leg, and it’s pretty legit. Scooby was pretty much my best friend as a kid, even though the aliens in that one movie used to freak me out. So of course he makes me happy when put on medical equipment.

25. Sleeping in. Especially when I haven’t gotten any sleep for like the past four days. And when I wake up and I can vaguely here everybody else doing stuff around the house and I know it’s like twelve noon because I can feel the sun through the window, but I’m perfectly content laying there for the moment.
