yea yea I know you sick lil monkies. I am talking such things as to make you totally feel good, like cracking your knuckles or sneezing really hard.
I only bring this up cause I had a really bad kink in my back and popped my neck loud enough to hear this huge POP then a immense sense of relief as the knot just melted. I swear to god it felt so damn good.
So what is a great and wonderful feeling?
Rubbing toes after shoes come off?
Sorry I am a bit drunk right now and this sounds like a really great topic
Well, one I did earlier tonight would qualify, I think. I was feeling a little down, and so I helped myself to a bowl of ice cream, with drizzled chocolate syrup on top, and took my time eating it. Letting it sit on my tongue for a short bit, till my tongue got cold, and it was melting, then I’d swallow it, feeling it slide all the way down. I like licking the spoon too, slowly, running my tongue up one side and down the other, making sure I get every last drop.
UmmmmmmMMmmmmmmmm…
WHAT? Ice cream, I was talking about ice cream, I swear!
And, dpr, I just have to ask. What are Tim Tams?
Heh heh. It’s the middle of the morning, and I’m supposed to be working but I’m IMing with a friend instead. In a few minutes I’m going to take a nice, long bath complete with Mr. Bubble. God, it feels good to play hookey!
The fastest acceleration in a car must have been the time when I was had the privilege to drive a Ferrari Testarossa in race trim, on a closed track. It was tweaked a bit, and produced about 500 BHP. 0-100 km/h (0-60 MPH) must have been possible in about 4 seconds with that car, although I probably managed about 5 secs - try NOT spinning those wheels!
purplebear: Tim-Tams are Australian chocolate biscuits. A Tim-Tam consists of two rectangular chocolate biscuit slabs sandwiched together with chocolate cream frosting. The whole thing is coated in chocolate. The British equivalent is a Penguin.
The way to fully enjoy Tim-Tams is to drink coffee (or your favourite beverage, hot or cold) through them.
Take a little bite off two opposite corners of a Tim-Tam. Stick one corner in coffee, and suck the coffee up through the Tim-Tam, like a big straw. (You’ll need to suck quite hard at first). After a few seconds you’ll notice the biscuit start to collapse inside. Speed is now of the essence. Cram the Tim-Tam into your mouth all in one go, where it will collapse into a mass of hot molten chocolate, biscuit and coffee. It’s VERY good.
(sorry for being rude and not waiting for dpr to answer the question)
I tend to be conscientious about responsibilities, and when confronted with a problem I also tend to work things over in my head past the point where I’m really doing any constructive thinking on the problem any more. It might be a work problem or a relationship problem.
I love those moments when I’m pondering something and I suddenly realize that the problem doesn’t mean anything on the big scale of things. I suddenly remember that there’s no grand Poobah in the sky who is going to frown and if I get it wrong and hold it against me. There’s no electric karma floating around me that’s going to zap me if I screw it up. If I make a hash of things, there will be opportunities to straighten it out later. If I miss an opportunity, other opportunities will arise. If I make a mistake, I’ll learn from the mistake and get it right the next time around, or maybe the time after that.
I love those moments, because I’ll suddenly leave the internal maze in my head and land back on Earth. I’ll notice the clouds floating across the blue sky and suddenly see how beautiful the weather is. I’ll remember an old Grateful Dead tune or something that I’ve recently heard on the radio and start whistling or singing. Life is suddenly very good. Uncluttered. The problem will wash out of my head for an hour or half a day, and it will be a lot easier to make a decision on it when it’s time to face it again.
These moments happen to me a lot. Sometimes even a couple times a day.
Another thing I like: The second piss of the day. I have a protein shake and large coffee for breakfast, and then an hour commute into work with no opportunities for stops along the way. It’s a delight when I can finally hit the bathroom at the office. That happens pretty much once a day too.
I’m always being told how bad it is for me, but sometimes, it just feels really good to rub your eyes for minutes on end. If I ever get to refill my contact prescription, I’ll have to curb the urge…at least until the contacts are out.
I’m an eye rubber and a leg scratcher. It’s such a bad idea, but it feels so good while I’m doing it (I know it’s just pain endorphins, really). I have asked my partner to make me stop if he notices me doing it, because I can rub my eyes raw and scratch my legs til they bleed. He says it takes a surprising amount of strength to pull my hand away from my leg if I’m really determined to have a good old scratch.
I also like using a pore strip, and then inspecting the little solidified plugs of gunk that were hiding in my skin. Pore strips rock.
Ice cream, I was talking about ice cream, I swear!
