A cat has been shitting on my lawn for a year now. I just shot him with my Daisy BB gun.

Anticipating a powerful sneeze and then having it come to fruition.

It's like a perfect orgasm.

after you've been for a poo and you wipe your bum and there's absolutely no sign of said dirty business.

 

very pleasing.

 

Clean Wipe!™

i used to get these a lot before my IBS kicked in. i always called them "safety wipes". good days

lately when i get a clean break, i still wipe the same amount, because i don't trust sneaky poop. i start to wipe out of character, from all angles, strange motions, different finger configs under the tissue. all the suspense pays off though after all 23 checkpoints report back clean. that's the kind of moment that sends me to wikipedia to weigh my chances of bumping the current human anus picture with the new model of excellence.

lukewarm printouts from the photocopier at work.

Yes, and also the smell of freshly-printed documents.

I love buying a "red fruit delight" box from Tesco (grapes, strawberries and apple slices) and eating a few crisp apple slices that are soaked in sweet, bright red strawberry juice.

My grammother got out of the hospital recentlyish, and I've been sleeping on her couch each night at her request (not the couch part).

I had a nightmare of some sort and was trying to escape into reality, and woke up in a mind frenzy, yelling in my head "WHERE AM I?!"

I've had it happen before at other houses I've slept in that I don't usually sleep in. I love it.

I really wish I could remember the nightmare.

People posting in the wrong thread.

Getting all the your coins and finding the oldest/newest ones.

For the record it's 1982/2008

When somebody in the far left passing lane moves over to let you...pass them.

Music library on shuffle and two songs from different bands/groups go together really well.

Figuring out a mis-heard lyric.

That sudden onset of vertigo when you've been drinking entirely too much and are about to vomit your guts out. The dizzyness feels really good if you're laying down, listening to some chill music and let it immerse you. Just remember to find a place to puke within the next minute or two.

Intertwining my toes the way one would intertwine their fingers

Seeing the bones and veins in my hands (I used to be fat)

Also,

Sleeping in a few different houses (grandmothers, mothers, fathers) all in a short period of time and waking up expecting to see your room, and then realizing that you're in someone else's house. Or vice versa.

Reading the little shampoo labels while taking a shower.

Finding little faces and shapes in your bathroom tile or bedroom ceiling

Listening to a song you haven't heard in ages and realizing you know all the lyrics as you sing them.

The soft hum of the stereo with the jack disconnected. The same buzz a guitar amp makes before you plug it into a guitar. I just let it hum for hours.

Walking, biking, or jogging down the street at 5 in the morning, with the whole world to myself.

Leaving the window open at night to feel the cool air juxtaposed with the heat of the bed.

When there's a thread title asking a question followed by a thread title that could be an answer to that question in Gen Ban.

I love it when my cat is sleeping and I pet him. He reaches out and grabs my hand with his two front paws and pulls my hand into his face. It always feels like the ultimate I love you. Like my hand is the best thing in the world as far as he is concerned. And I love it when moss and tiny ferns grow in the cracks of concrete.

A drum session where the player knows exactly how to compliment the song on the first take, no additional guidance required.

yes!

(i made an EP under the name "downtown root" this summer, it's the noisy funk product of some saga-dreams of mine regarding weeds growing out of concrete, among a few other topics - sorry for the spam but i'm drunk and it's appropriate!)

Bread dough rising. Glad door knobs. Unexpected and unexplained instant connections or understandings that randomly happen with strangers.

Glass door knobs.

cables and wires from all my music gear all over the place

and

crystals

Watching my hair swirl in the water. That small window of time before you actually fall asleep but that you know it is close and will happen soon. Watching kittens when they puff themselves up because they feel tough. They've only killed a stuffed mouse but you can tell they feel all bad ass about it.
