Theeeeeeeeeerkklunk.Owwwwwwwwww.
What the fuck.
What. Who. Who put this here?
Ouch.
Ah.
I did. Then snuffed the lights, thus tripping over this misshapen thing.
No exhaustive self analysis or misadventures from me, and I haven't even fucked any goats of late. I have however been flat fucking chat: Brisbane yesterday, Adelaide last week, Melbourne & Sydney next. When the hosties let go of me I even got the time for some of THE BEST COOKING AND EATING EVAAAAH but I can't be fucked telling you about it and I've no dreams I'm allowed to report.
Of questions though, I've a few, this is first: what triggers those moments for you in which you realise you're happy?

I realise happiness once its gone... terribly cliche, what can I say. Hope you are happy though Dollop. I resolve to appreciate what I have.

Erm...Happiness mainly. That is the trigger...

Going to need a little bit of coachinbg on this, aren't you Russ.
What are the precursors to the realisation?
6:13 PM
Not entirely sure what triggers it - it's just all of a sudden i think 'Gosh darn - I'm really happy right now!'
As opposed to my normal level of happiness anyway.

That's it Giggles, you're almost there - what was the last thing that triggered that realisation - and the one before.

Its something different everytime.

Alcohol or ecstasy usually does the trick

There's some moments when I'm just walking along by myself and I think of something and can't help smiling.
Also, no offence to you single people (I was one of you for almost 23 years), but the boy makes me happy too.

Warm weather.

sunny days when i'm walking along by myself and i realise im smiling; and having nights like last night with my mates when we are trying to do something serious - this time it was a photo shoot for an article i had written - but just couldnt get it together because we couldnt stop laughing.

When I'm singing or humming to myself all the time. It's an oldie but a goody.

I'm with pescita. And it was gone a long time ago, so I have nothing of late to report.
8:47 AM
OK...the trigger is my life. I am always friggin happy because I know I love it all.
I feel happy when I sit down. I feel happy when I buy a coffee. I feel happy when the bloke at the post office addresses me by name. Happiness shouldn't be reserved for only those times when you aren't down.

Ro - so that was you in the fluffy, baggy pink pants. Who would've thunk it.
Susanne - awwww.
Chicky - You. Like warm weather and more beach and less clothes? Nah.
Riz - Ta. Someone gets it.
Stella - You're 48 already?
Puss - C'mon. I've seen a smile on occasion.
Russ - You collect stamps?

Hmmm. When the constant perambulations of worry and cogitation fade away, I find myself in a different world.
I take my surroundings for granted, and spend my time in a daze of thought. A habitual dull reality. Then when it stops, it's like a numb arm that recovers feeling. Plain old colours in trees and walls fascinate. Ordinary sounds now have subtle beat and rhythm.
What causes that shift in mood? A song on the radio, or a particular lyric. Warm wind blowing silence in the trees. Things like this that bring back a forgotten sense of mystery.

the second before it's gone. realising, really understanding that what you have in that moment is good and golden and worth holding (even though you can hear its steam whistling and pulling outta the station) and doing something to preserve it, however small. then memory kicks in with its hallucinatory shtick and we have to re-learn how to be attuned to when happiness just walks up and sits in your lap like a cat. seems to be its nature, for me. it comes and goes as it pleases and mine is only to stroke and be still, and not stand up too fast.

Hmm. Ruby, have you met Boogey?
