I’m very, very, happy right now. I have been this way for a few days now, growing over the last couple weeks, but it keeps getting better. I have not been this happy, or felt so good in…8 years? 9 years? I don’t really know. It’s an alien emotion to me, one that seems odd and strange, and awkwardly out of place. I don’t know how one is supposed to react, really. What am I supposed to do? There are no rules for being happy. I cannot and will not say why, other than to say that _someone_ here on the SDMB has made me feel so special, so happy, and so fluttery and funny. Someone said words to me that had never been said to me, in a way and about a subject that took my breath away - honestly, I had to get up and walk away from the keyboard, I was so (pleasantly) surprised and shocked! I think I’m: - Going insane, or - Seriously ill, or - In a dream, or - Under a magic spell of some kind, or - Something else. 😉 Anyhow, nothing more to see here. Carry on. ---

[standard reponse to this type of thing] Good for you. 😃 [/standard response] Yay! Una’s finally happy! 😃 BTW, you’re my favorite lesbian-who-happens-to-be-an-engineer. And I wish I knew everything you do about cars. (Someone asks a car question, I give an excellent answer, then you come along and make mine look like nothing in comparison…:rolleyes: ) Love ya! (in a purely platonic, non-sexual sort of way, of course ;)) ---
