I'm in a very rare happy mood atm, and i decided why not find out what makes other people happy....

so i ask you my fellow forum members what makes you happy or puts you in a good mood. Also how do you try and cheer yourself up if you're sad/depressed.

i guess i could have posted this as a question to the cast but i don't know whether it has already been asked and i'm to lazy to read all 30+ pages (i got to page 12 before opting to do something else).

If it hasn't been asked then i'll post it as a question to the cast, but atm i'm more interested in what you my fellow forum members do that put you in a good mood etc.

(wow that's probably the longest post i've written on any forum *pats himself on back*)

What puts me in a good mood? Generally, it's when things are going my way; as it were. When I'm caught up on stuff, when I'm getting enough sleep, etc.

How do I cheer myself up? Generally (there's that word again!); I read, work on one of my models, listen to or read through some Classical music (something light, of course), or watch some animation or a movie. (Again, something light like a comedy.)

The honest to goodness answer for me involves you guys, the AIAC readers.

Nothing puts me in a better mood than when I ope up my inbox and find an e-mail from someone saying they've been reading the comic and they love it, or asking me questions and what have you. The same goes for when I come here to the forum and see you all leaving comments about current strips. It's always so exciting for me to see people genuinely engaged with my work :)

Other things that puts me in a good mood:

- Receiving fanart.

- 4:00 (that's when I get out of work)

- Exact change (silly, but true)

- Hearing certain songs

- See a great movie/ anime, or reading a great book/ comic.

There's other things of course, but those jump immediately to mind :faith:

What makes me feel in a good mood? Well there are a few things:

1. Reading AIAC, You know why people! :happyhope:
2. Listening & enjoying my music knowing no one will be criticising it :unsure:
3. Knowing people actually care about me, as I sometimes believe people don't... which creates anxiety & worry for me :sorryfaith:
4. Watching Ghibli Films, hell that's one of the best things! :D
5. Knowing I could wipe the floor with Sara's ego on Rock Band! :lol:
6. Finding that CD that I've been after for ages & it turns out to be good.
7. BUYING LOADS OF CD'S! :konahope:
8. When a friend likes the music I like :happyhope:
9. Really Funny, Witty Jokes
10. The internet working fine without ANY problems, as mine has often got problems & it stresses me out to no end. :sadhope:

That's all I can think of right now! ^^;

If I am not in a good mood but I want to be in a good mood, the thing which does it for me best is... and this is kinda weird... the videos of Dr Stuart Ashen.

* CAKE!;
* Listening to an hour or so of glam (you CANNOT be depressed while listening to Van Halen);
* Video games;

There are probably some more but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.

Careful where you do that though. Health & safety, and all that.

Bubble Wrap is awesome, but then again it's annoying that when it's all gone, you get stressed again :sorryfaith:

Anime and manga will always put me in a good mood. Of course, if you take me to a bookstore, its like taking a kid to a candy shop. As well as anything that is comedic or funny; movies, comics, games, etc. Oh, and I don't know about anyone else, but doing that one thing adults like to do together... you know, what couples don't do after they get married.

These are just a few of my favorite things. That put me in a good mood.

Off the top of my head...

1. The Hidamari Sketch X Hoshimittsu ending theme.
2. Building/fixing something (usually something programming-related) that ends up working.
3. Being with friends, and laughing until it hurts. Quite literally. Have you ever had your jaw hurt from laughing before? It's like that.
4. Singing along to music, when no one's watching/listening.
5. Alternatively, dancing along to music, when no one's watching.
6. Having someone be eternally grateful after helping them with something important.
