Happy List

I do not feel like a big ball of sunshine today. Not even close. A lot of times when I feel like this and I don't know what I can do to feel better, I'll try to make other people feel better instead. This is why I have started making Happy Lists.

I have taken some of my mutual LJ friends and Twitter friends (50 total because I don't want to do this forever) and put their names on a Word document. I am going to randomly choose a name from the list and write something nice about that person, but I won't write their name. I'll keep doing this until I've written something nice about all of them. Then they can try to guess which nice comment is for them. ONWARD.

1. I don't know you very well yet, but you seem like a sweet person.
2. You've grown up so much since I first met you. I'm proud of you.
3. I love talking to you. You're always so sweet and so much fun to chat with.
4. I think I might be a lot like you when I grow up. At least I hope I will be.
5. Your LJ entries are always pretty entertaining, and your comments are thoughtful. We don't talk very much, but I like you a lot.
6. You are so incredibly smart. Sometimes when I'm reading your entries, I feel like I'm reading some kind of poetry or something. I love your word choice.
7. You're one of the coolest nerdfighters I've ever spoken to. It's awesome that we live so close to each other.
8. You are one of my favorite people ever. You're so sweet and selfless. Even your job is to help other people, and I guess that's why you love it so much. I can't express how grateful I am for all of our conversations and your encouragement. I hope you know how much I care about you and how glad I am that we're friends.
9. You were the first person to actually acknowledge me around here. I won't forget that.
10. You're really smart, and your tweets frequently make me smile.
11. We have a really weird relationship. Sometimes you piss me off so much, and I know I do the same to you. If I had to choose, I wouldn't have it any other way. You've definitely been a positive influence on me. Maybe not in a way that either of us had hoped or anticipated, but you have. I think we'll be friends for a really long time.
12. I first read one of your books just after I read Twilight about four years ago. My first thought was that Stephenie Meyer could definitely take some fantasy writing lessons from you, because her book sucked and yours was awesome.
13. You are so... So YOU. I know sometimes you're uncomfortable with who you are, but you shouldn't be. I've never met such a crazy person before. Be proud of yourself. I am.
14. We used to talk a lot more, and I miss that. I really hope that you're still doing well.
15. I didn't think it was possible to read that many books in a year, but you did it. Congrats.
16. I love your ukulele skills. You're adorable and incredibly awesome.
17. Harry Potter + Disney = Being of awesome = you.
18. I seriously love talking to you, and I really appreciate that you don't pay much attention to our age difference. I love how we can talk about politics, religion, life, love, and pretty much anything else without you once mentioning that I'm young and I don't know what I'm talking about. It's rare that I get that much respect from adults, and I am so grateful for it. You're so unique, and I love your craziness.
19. I always enjoy your LJ entries and your tweets. I think you are going to be really successful one day. I'm not sure in what, but I get the feeling that you're going somewhere.
20. I still need to come up with a suitable nickname for you. When I first met you, I was surprised by how smart you were. You don't sound your age at all. I want to give you a cookie.
21. AND I TRY AND TRY TO FORGET YOU GIRL, BUT IT'S JUST SO HARD TO DO, EVERY TIME YOU DO THAT THING YOU DOOOOOO. But in all seriousness, I look up to you a lot. I admire your strength and your ability to keep going even when everything just sucks. When we talk, I feel like you actually care about what I have to say. Sometimes I just want to come up there and give you a big hug and make everything better, but this will have to do for now.
22. I think you might be the biggest Harry Potter fanatic I know. This also makes you SO JOKES.
23. I want your hair, omfg.
24. You have gotten me through so many things without even knowing it. I feel like knowing you has made me more able to believe in myself. I don't know what I did to deserve it. I'm still trying to figure that out. I value our friendship (or whatever you want to call this relationship we have) very much. I have a feeling that you know more than you say you do. And I think you might appreciate that you are definitely the weirdest person I know.
25. I wish we talked more, because I have a feeling we would get along really well.
26. I think you're really funny. I hope that we end up in the same place at the same time one day, because I would really like to hang out with you.
27. Thank you for stalking me. You have become one of my favorite people. Keep your head up. You'll get out of there soon.
28. I SEE WHY YOU ARE OBSESSED. OMG.
29. I like your hats, and I admire your ability to make friends pretty much anywhere.
30. This could turn into a novel, but I'll try to keep it short. I can't believe I was lucky enough to become your best friend. We're growing up, and soon we'll go away to college. I've accepted the fact that we probably won't be very close to each other in terms of distance, but I don't think we'll grow apart. I know we'll be able to pick up right where we left off every time we see each other. I never would have imagined that I'd have a friend like you. I hope you know how much I love you and how much I value our friendship. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
31. You're so quiet most of the time, but sometimes you'll say the craziest thing and I'm like WTF where did that come from? I love those moments.
32. You have given me the gift of CAFFEINE. I owe you for that. Also, you are gorgeous. I hope you know that.
33. I admire your strength and your painting skills. You are beautiful inside and out.
34. You are the only person who I would spoon with in the trunk of my friend's mom's car. We are going to have such beautiful cat babies.
35. I owe you so much. I think your encouragement has kept me sane in the past few months. I knew what I wanted even before we started talking, but now I feel like it's really possible. I enjoy all of our plotting and shenanigans.
36. You are brilliant and adorable. I like your writing and the way you look at the world. Your entries always make me smile.
37. I wish things could be like they used to be, but I don't think we'll ever get back there. That's okay. I think it's time for both of us to move on. All good things come to an end.
38. We've only just met, but I feel like we've know each other for a long time. I think we are going to become good friends.
39. You always put yourself down. I wish you could see how awesome you really are. Everyone else does.
40. You are so smart for your age that sometimes I think you're playing some kind of joke on us. You are going to accomplish a lot in your life.
41. You are awesome and your daughter is adorable.
42. You are really smart, gorgeous, and nerdier than most people would believe. You tell me that I remind you of yourself when you were my age. I take that as a compliment. Nerding out on Harry Potter is the best thing ever.
43. I don't always comment on your entries, but I read pretty much all of them. You always find a way to say something interesting in every single one. Also, you are awesome.
44. Sometimes I just want to put you in my pocket and take you everywhere with me. You're awesome.
45. You are one of the smartest and jokesest people in Nerdfighteria. No wonder you are Famous.
46. I like looking at all of your traveling pictures, and your entries are always fun to read as well.
47. You're a good writer and you are adorable. I think Grover should be proud to be your mascot.
48. I wish you would stop trying to be like everyone else and just be yourself. I think you are awesome, but I hardly get to see the real you because you're always imitating someone. Let people see what a cool person you are.
49. Your tweets make me laugh so much. I don't understand half of them, but the randomness gets me pretty much every time.
50. You're a very dependable person from what I can tell. Also, you're a nut. :P
