In the spirit of board happiness, I'd like to share a few simple pleasures: I love it when I set off to a job I hate only to find it's already been done. Makes me want to find whoever did it and give them a hug. I love girls who love animals. Not girls who simply find them cute, but girls who share a genuine empathetic bond with them. I'm not really into animals myself, and I don't think I can explain the attraction. *shrugs*

I like petting pussies.
Ahem.
So a few of my favourite things would be video games that take me on sexy journeys and intriguing horror stuff. It is like... morbid curiosity! Awesome
I also like sexy ladies, yes. Very much. And sexy men! HOORAH.

Aww. What a nice thread. ^_^
I like optimism and enthusiasm. I guess this is one of those 'opposites attract' sort of things, as I could hardly be more pessimistic and defeatist myself. But I can think of little I admire more than people who are just unashamedly perky and cheery. ^_^ It seems the older people get, the more inclined they are to look for the cloud inside every silver lining. And by the time most people hit eighteen or nineteen, they're just so jaded over everything, and it seems as if they approach every day looking for things to complain about. It only counts double online, where everywhere you go someone's getting their knickers in a twist over something.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's important to have a critical, analytical mind. You can't go through life being totally naive and unassuming. You'd only end up getting hurt. But after a point, it just becomes so utterly miserable. And it's refreshing whenever I meet someone my age who is just happy to be alive, and who seems to live life as if, to borrow Yotsubato's tagline, today is always the most fun day. ^_^ I like people who aren't afraid or embarrassed to get excited about things they like, and who seem determined to find fun in even the most mundane activities. It's infectious~
I love any storytelling medium. Reading, writing, movies, games... Most anything, really. ^_^ On bad days they've provided me with a welcoming home away from reality, and on good days they've helped me appreciate just how wonderful the home I have right here in reality is. ^_^; I might dare to dream of one day trying to write for a living if I wasn't too unmotivated and self-critical to write more than a couple of hundred words at a time.
I like foreign languages. I never could have guessed when I picked up Japanese on a whim all those years ago what it would eventually spiral into. But it's taught me so much about the way I think about things and express myself, and has helped me not only toward understanding another language and culture but toward better understanding my own, and even toward better understanding me. ^_^; Though I absolutely lack the discipline and focus required to be a linguist or a polyglot, and will probably always struggle to speak even English fluently, I think I'd like to continue studying foreign languages in some capacity for as long as I live. Even if it means one day being some seventy year old spinster in community classes running through her ABCs in Tagalog. ^^;
Along with lots of other things~! But this is already too long. ^_^

You know what I love? People who get along, people who can get together, and have fun -- regardless of race, gender, body type, special needs, looks, disease, or any kind of "socially" (more like societally -- although that's probably not a word, I'm using it!) societally awkward circumstance! I also love cats, the colors purple, red, green, blue, and black (especially black... I don't leave the house without black clothes), and comfortably cuddly smothering big beautiful women.

Gravy is indeed a wonderful thing! I like simple things; music, nature in general, cool weather, cloudy and rainy days. Can't explain it, but when I wake up to rain or clouds, maybe a nice cool breeze... I just feel invigorated and alive. Also, that feeling of super comfort you get when you wake up from sleeping and decide to stay in bed. Bed is always so much more comfy after a good nights sleep than when you first lie down.

Bullshit. There's no hamburgers in Finnadiastan!
Edit: I like when a Torrent that's been stalled forever completes itself when you turn your back =]

Scanburger...
Scan as in... scanning something, or does scan mean something in Finnistanian? Either way it sounds like an awesome name for a burger joint!
I like penguins.

Lucky! I've been craving Japanese foods for a couple months now; though, admittedly, from a specific place, so it's harder to get. Never thought I'd find such a thing in lamearse Arizona (there's seriously nothing to do in Phoenix, ughhhh), but there's an AMAZING rotating sushi bar down in Mesa. No more than $2 for a plate of any kind of sushi you can think of, and it all tastes REALLY good, made fresh right in front of you, too. Friggin'... 40 minute drive for food never really seems worth it, though. I only get to go between classes at ASU if some friends wanna hit it up that day. =/ There's other places not nearly as far away that serve really good cuisine, but there's nothing quite as awesome as that sushi bar around here as far as sushi goes. D:
