This is not mundane or pointless.
Are you happy?
…with your life?
…with your job?
…with your home?
…with your relationships?
…with whatever?
Takin’ the fifth.
I’ll be in the corner taking regular pulls off it while OTHER people open their veins here.
Hmmm…
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
and, yes.
What a day for someone to ask this…
Are you happy? ** yes **
…with your life? ** yes **
…with your job? ** I just quit a few hours ago and haven’t bothered to even think about a new job yet **
…with your home? ** yes thoug it’s a bit messy atm ;)**
…with your relationships? ** general friends: yes, lovelife: don’t ask - it’s about two pages long and while it’s interesting you don’t have the time **
…with whatever? ** pretty much yes**
Are you happy?
…with your life? Well as of yesterday I’m very happy with my life, it was really bad and now things are starting to look up for me and the people around me.
…with your job? If I had one I would be happy with it. As a student I’m quite happy, despite having to take IMP.
…with your home? I just got a new room, I love decorating it’s so much fun.
…with your relationships? How could I be unhappy when I’m going out with the sweetest. cuddliest, most adorable guy I know? Who also happens to be romantic, an artist, and a poet too.
…with whatever? yup yup

Alrighty, I’ll give this a shot.
Are you happy? Well, I’m not really too unhappy, but…no, I wouldn’t say that I’m happy.
…with your life? Yeah. I’m doing what I love to do, and seem to be doing a really good job at it.
…with your job? School: Fairly happy. Busy as can be, and that’s kind of bringing me down. Besides my friends from school, I haven’t seen my other friends for a very long time. 
I love film, but I don’t have time for much else.
Work: It’s money, and it’s an okay job. Though, tonight I spent three hours shooting elastics onto a chair on the other side of the room. When there are a lot of people shopping at the Magic Shop, it’s great. But nights like tonight, just make me depressed.
…with your home? I suppose. I spend so little time at home lately, I haven’t really thought about it.
…with your relationships? No, definitely not. Probably the main thing that’s making me so sad lately.
…with whatever? I don’t even know. I would like to say “yes”, but lately I seem to be getting really down about a lot of things.
Yes, I’m happy.
I have two beautiful sons. The first one was born two years after we gave up on being able to have children of our own. That was nine years ago.
As Justin grew, complete strangers would come up to me and ask why we only had one child, and didn’t we know that being an only child was awful, etc, etc…
I finally started coming right out and telling people (whether it was their business or not) that I had fertility problems. This would usually shut them up.
Last year, I unexpectedly concieved again. After seven years of trying to have a second baby, I couldn’t believe it. Well, Owen’s three months old now and getting gloriously spoiled.
We own our own home. It’s a fixer-upper, but it’s also a beautiful old victorian (money pit).
I barely make a living making and selling jewelry, but it suits me. I enjoy what I do. I have done work that paid better, but made me stressy as hell. Sometimes the jewelry business keeps me up pretty late, but it’s something that I can call my own.
I tend to be standoffish with people who I don’t know well, and I’m shy IRL, so I could have more friends, but the ones I DO have are good ones.
I have chronic athsma, and my meds make it hard to sleep, but I can breathe because of them. I’ve learned not to take that for granted.
I’m happily married. Life is pretty good right now.
I am happy. I have my un-happy days just like everyone else, but overall everything is good.
I love my job! I am finally moving into a place all my own next week, which has me very happy. I have a wonderful boyfriend that treats me great. I have wonderful friends who are very supportive. So, yeah, right now I am very happy with life.
I am also very thankful that I am not where I was at the beginning of the year.
I’ll just be over here playing lollipop with a .38…Note to self, do not check existential threads in the middle of the night for fear of sharing too much:
happy? Not exactly. I’m in a huge transitional-fresh-start- trying-to-leave-lots-of-bad-behind-and-start-anew-phase. Unfortunately I’ve still got lots of bad to work through. But it’s my personality - shit can be bad but it’s hard for me to stay ACTIVELY unhappy.
happy with my life - as opposed to what? It’s my only life, happy or unhappy.
job - Well, for the first time in 3 years I’m not actively UNHAPPY.
home - Love the home. The home couldn’t be better right now.
relationships - ugh. I just moved to Chicago from D.C. I miss all my D.C. friends - after 8 years I had an amazing friend corps and here I’m having to start all over again and it’s hard. I’m feeling really needy and alone a lot of the time - I spend most of my time alone which makes me behave weirdly and too intensely when I do get that spark of human contact. I just lost my best friend over something stupid and unforgivable and avoidable.
Love relationships? You’ve got to be kidding. Someone used this Robin Williams quote in another thread:
“I’m moving through my personal life like a hemophiliac moving through a razor blade factory.” It fits.
whatever - Everything’s a mess, but I think it’s always a mess, and I’ll handle it, and learn and grow. Happy? Not exactly. Full of hope? Yes, definitely. I took my first guitar lesson tonight, and I know I’ll be able to learn to do it. I’ve got a warm kitty curled up on my feet, and I was able to help someone today.
All in all, I’d say I’m happy, if a little stressed. 
No.
dropzone, gimme that bottle.
No. It takes something special to make me happy. By default I just am. And that’s where I am today.
No.
Cranky as hell is more like it but I usally get much better after some coffee…
clap clap
stomp stomp
hooray!
VERY happy on all accounts!
Zette
Oh, yes! Very happy!
Life is great. I have two teenage sons that I have an unbelievable relationship with. They don’t do drugs, drink or smoke. They have jobs and are honor students (MAN, how’d I get so lucky?).
My job - well, love the job, love what I do but, sure wish I was paid more (can’t have everything). It’s a fun place to work with fun, interesting people.
Home - only negative. I live in an apartment I hate.
Relationships - I have a loving, close extended family, friends who are loving and supportive (good times and bad), and the most wonderful boyfriend a woman could have.
This sounds a bit gushing, I know, but I’ve learned to look for the good things and appreciate them when I see them. Hasn’t always been that way. Glad it is now.
I don’t like trick questions.
Sure they do, all teenagers do these things, and have sex too. You just haven’t caught them yet
Kidding, I’m kidding.
Not real thrilled with my job for a variety of reasons, but overall, pretty happy. And it’s Friday, so that makes the job tolerable.
xizor, don’t spoil my mood, you killjoy, you!
