Unobvious Things That Delight You

Pressing the trunk open button in my dad's car.

Waking up and not feeling tired (pretty much never happens unless I drink an energy drink before bed like a bupkis.)

How well I wake my voice up when getting phone calls while sleeping.

Paying exact change. <3<3

rain is nice mostly, especially the smell of a forest when it is raining

Walking outside while sleep deprived.

Yes.

When the tracks for a mix CD you're burning fit perfectly in the allotted CD-R time limit.

i just realized that my new computer is set up in such a way that i am totally comfortable using it and that delights me greatly.

opening that serrated top on a new box of kleenex.

but someone probably said that already

going to bed after having stayed up all night. very comfy

People who smile.

So few people actually do this and even the tiniest smile can make you feel so good.

waking up to see that it snowed several inches during the night and you are cozy in bed

Win.

eating a kebab... using your hands to scoop it out of the polystyrene carton... Tears streaming down your face from the sheer quantity of chilli sauce... Onion everywhere.

paying with nothing but change

wait no that just makes me feel like an asshole.

-looking out the window while sitting on the toilet

-staying up way later than i should

-squawking, cawing, and tweeting back at birds

i have done all three of these today, and i fully agree.

I really love doing these too. Catbirds and Canadian Geese are fun to yell back at.

these ones are gonna show my weirdo side but :

- staring at my cat eyes while dancing and making non-sense gestures and enjoying so much the non-impressed-everything's-ok look that it gives me back

- peeling off labels from bottles (especially beer bottles in parties). I also like to peel off the round plastic layer that's glued inside the beer bottle cap. Some of them are hard to remove, other are easy (according to the brand of the beer). by the way I dunno which kind I prefer - the easy ones or the hard ones. I guess middle-level ones because the hard ones are impossible to remove without being torn. lol

Peeing outside and watching the time turn from :59 to :00

or watching 9s turn into nice, even 0s in general

Drumming drum rhythms with the finger on one hand and having the beat end on my index finger so that the next measure can start with the thumb.

Drum machines.

Stretching until you get dizzy

air guitar makes me happy. but when i play air guitar i actually use foot pedals too. my wah is bad ass but when i change effects, it looks the best.

edit: also rolling salami inside a piece of provolone with a roasted red pepper gives me half a woody too

there are some people with gravely voices that are very soothing to me. i like listening to them talk. i also like some indian accents. i would like deepak chopra to read song lyrics to me. that voice makes me very soothed and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

i could listen to tom waits being interviewed by david letterman all the time

i dont like letterman but they're obviously friends and have great chemistry.

it's so fucking awesome that he actually has physical photographs. i love tom waits.

there was another one where letterman kept asking him about his album and he kept responding with random nonsequitur factoids, stuff like "mosquitoes aren't drawn to your blood, they're drawn to your breath." or "honey is the one food that never spoils."

he was on the daily show i think around the same time as that interview. dude went to take a dump before his set and the ceiling collapsed on him. tom waits is amazing.
