The smell of freshly buttered toast, sleeping in past noon, putting a hole-in-one at mini golf. This is a thread about the little things in life. Whether they're the things that make your day that much better or little nonsensical pet peeves that irk you.
The little things
-

I enjoy laying in absolute dark listening to various atmospheric albums. I don't do that often enough…
Also, nothing beats staring into the darkness behind your eyelids, bewildered by the dancing shapes and colors, vaguely inspired by light.
-
Sleeping in, having no obligations in the world, and watching old childhood movies on VHS tapes.
-
Staring at nothing, its so relaxing.
-
Or you could stare at your sig.
Also the 16 character limit is really fucking annoying.

Double Trouble. I'm tripping balls man.
-
I love sliding into/onto my bed after the air conditioner's cooled down the sheets on a hot day.
-
The cool side of the pillow.
-
Waking up in the morning with my cats curled up beside me, the smell of rain, waking up and knowing you don't have to get out of bed for a couple more hours.

Have you heard the news?
Bad things come in twos
But I never knew
'BOUT THE LITTLE THINGSEvery single day
Things get in my way
Someone has to pay
FOR THE LITTLE THINGSAnd I'm through with the stories
And I'm sick of my shoes
And the walking and the talking
It's got nothing to do with
The final solution
Its a box full of tricks
And I'm through with repairs
When there's nothing to fix
When there's nothing to fix
When there's nothing to fix
AND IT ALL COMES DOWN TO YOUUUUUULet the headlines wait
Armies hesitate
I can deal with faith
BUT NOT THE LITTLE THINGSArmaggedon may
Arrive anyday
I can't get away
FROM THE LITTLE THINGSWith a pile of cares
And a bucket of tears
I could look at the sunlight
And I feel no fear
With a mountain of maybes
And some Icarus wings
And I'm armed with delusions
And one little thing
And that one little thing
And that one little thing
AND IT ALL COMES DOWN TO YOUHave you heard the news?
Bad things come in twos
But I never knew
'BOUT THE LITTLE THINGSEvery single day
Things get in my way
Someone has to pay
FOR THE LITTLE THINGS -
Taking a giant shit after a long day.

I love fireflies and antique furniture and rainstorms and lace. Distant thunder and cooling air and the ocean pushing at my feet…candles, pretty dresses, the smell of blush, books, and oak fires, pens that write well and composition notebooks.
I think the only thing that bothers me is being woken suddenly. I don't like alarms. -
I was just driving to Despicable Me a few hours ago and it was a beautiful drive. The last few drops of a rainstorm wrung out like liquid crystal into individual clouds of fog passing through the black night sky,
playing in the background. Perfect drive. -
I ran thirty miles over the weekend, then came home Sunday and ate two mushroom pizzas.

There's a part of I90 where the highway splits up in this beautiful mountain pass and that day it was like the clouds were just blooming from the ground. I had Coheed and Cambria playing in the background. It's good stuff.
Also, early spoilers are nice!
-
Babies and little kids, especially when you've had a bad day or are crying. They know just how to give the perfect hugs (does it show that I babysit a lot? XDD)
A puppy's lick
Going to sleep under a nice warm quilt passed down through the family. Cuz they just don't make 'em like they did back then snuggles

Oh yeah, I love most combinations of driving and music. Did I mention the song ended just when I pulled into the parking lot? PERFECT.

Isn't that what they call a "happy ending"?
-
You know I hate summer and sunny, hot weather. But sometimes when I'm outside I just have to appreciate how beautiful the greenery and the sun shining on everything is.
Such a feeling is only temporary, though. lol
-
Is that the porn star that appears on G4?
-
I love it when you are sleeping and somehow your arm get is a weird pose so that blood flow is obstructed and then you wake up to find a "strangers" arm in your bed…

She just got hired as a Correspondent on the Daily Show too.

Funny that you like that, it's pretty much the bane of my existance. When I wake up like that I probably spend a good 3-4 minutes flailing my arm around to get the feeling back!

A clear night with awesome stars and moon.
A nice sunset on a beach.
Rain after a really hot day.You really have to enjoy the little thing these days ^^
-
How do you spoilers tag? There's no button for it in the advanced menu, and none of my Youtube videos show up, ther's just a white box; what's up with that?
-
a nice cup of tea
-
A rainy storm In the middle of a HOT day - I then just like to get totally soaked and enjoy the sudden and temporary freshness.
Rain in general, I don't do it as I used to when I was younger, but in the past I never seeked shelter when it rained.
A fresh baked bread, just out of the oven. hmmmmmm
lying down in grass and watching the clouds.
-
Eating White Castle sliders just for the satisfaction of the bathroom trip
Monday afternoon Bob Ross special. -

knowing that my family and friends and the one's i love are still alive…

As much as I hated the last of my college days…you guys ever take the 60 freeway at night as it cuts through Riverside?
On both sides are either empty fields, empty buildings or so-so houses, while the stars are blotted out by a purple electric haze? And you did this while listening to NPR?
This to me is city life. This to me is home. -
Walking in the woods, listening to birds and letting my eyes follow every slightest movement of theirs. That's heavenly and always makes me feel good and refreshed.
Good music is a basic thing, but it is still worth mentioning.
-
Sleeping .
-
-
After sunbathing for a while, going for a dive in the cold water~
The feeling I get when I finish a project and turn it in! ^^
Chocolate melting in my mouth. :wub:
-
I love catching my favourite shows when they're on. I hate it if I miss them.
-
The sound of rain on my conservatory roof while I sleep in my warm cosy bed
-

A finished project is always glorious. Especially one that takes months.
When the freeway is backed up and someone let's you over to the next lane.
-
feeling the sand,grass and stones when you walk bare-footed through nature
-
When you buy something you love and SMELLLLLLLLL the box with the DVD/CD
-
I love the beginning of autumn, when it first starts to get crisp, and I go get the first pumpkin latte of the season ^^
Sitting around a firepit at night in summer with friends.
Seeing a night sky without any city lights and pollution to mask it
Seeing an occasional sunrise - since I hardly ever get up that early
Also, discovering and falling in love with a new band/album.

I'm already excited for this.
-
That first cold beer after a long, hard day.
-
the smell of a freshly sharpened pencil
making your hair into funny shapes with shampoo
the clink of ice in a glass cup
sleeping with the window open
being able to see your breath
-

This.
Also, laughing. Laughing alone, laughing with my friends. At something silly, something so stupid it's funny, something so bad it's funny. Seeing the humour in an absurd situation and getting a good laugh out of it. Dark humour. The happy feeling I get from laughter is like nothing else.

The long chat I have with my mum when she wakes me up in the morning.
