Why Are You Happy Today?

Conversely, I don't consider myself a FF fangirl, yet I've played and finished (and own) all of I thru IX.
FWIW, IV is almost as much emo as VII, and both VIII and IX are pretty good.

That moment when you try doing a hand stand, but it almost turns into a forward roll because you're not used to being that strong or light.

[Kimiko]

I don't think I've ever felt the urge to do a handstand..

[Reynard-Miri]

Yes, well... I hadn't tried in a long time and wanted to see if I could.

Also, I may have been a bit loopy at the time.

[Kimiko]

Oh, it was no criticism of you at all. I'm just that unathletic.

[ZetaBladeX13]

I did gymnastics quite a few years ago.

I found it rather difficult to perform such a task.

^ You could lean against a wall.
It might be easier to walk than stand, actually.

The time I had to spend a few months in a basement and was sort of bored, mad kick-strength began to lift me off the ground.

[Kimiko]

"Spend a few months in a basement"..?

[PLA]

^ I lived there. :3

Hidamari Sketch is one of those anime where after an episode you wonder 'why does my face feel strained?' and you realize it's because you're smiling from ear to ear
I'm also eating some yummy sweet/sour sauced veggies, and the headache I've had all day is finally subsiding.

^Sounds very pleasant!

Yesterday made my birthday week awesome. I'm typically not one to celebrate--I don't do parties and I get uncomfortable with gifts. But this year I decided my friends and I should all just do what we normally do once or twice a month and go to Wild Wing Cafe (we like to sit outside and eat nachos). Jamie made me this DELICIOUS gluten-free carrot cake (mah favorite) and I told everyone "no gifts!" but Amanda had one for me that she'd apparently been sitting on for a month and it was perfect and awesome and I love it. She works at another bookstore and found a copy of Women Who Read Are Dangerous, and I think it's pretty well established here that my favorite books are books about books*. It's a beautiful hardcover full of classical paintings of ladies readin'. ^3^

This time last year I wasn't really close to anyone and now I've finally made a group of friends. T_T They're all so sweet and funny I keep threatening to kidnap them and take them to Austin with me.
