"Bard in your belly, a roof over your head, and a good woman by your side are all simple things. Rerouting a network with over 100 printers to print a 1 page picture and not stopping till you get it out of the right one is not."

myself, just laying in bed for an hour before the sun has come up, hearing rain pattering on my window and having a permeating sense of warmth radiating out from within me to keep to chill morning air at bay.

You just reminded me what that felt like, and I'd have to agree

For me, personally, I think it's something about the sheer power of nature that's displayed during a thunderstorm. It's awesome and awe inspiring and very stirring. With a really big thunderstorm, especially when I stand out on a covered porch or something, I literally feel my stomach get butterflies and my heart race. Just watching what nature is able to do I find incredible.

Have you ever made love to someone out in a field during a thunderstorm? Amazing experience, especially when the thunder is loud enough to shake the ground beneath you. And even when snuggling safely inside, it rarely stays snuggling for long.

EDIT: Hmm, I wonder if this is part of why I enjoy playing druids so much.

Sleeping in till noon.

Lighting up a big cigar.

Wandering into a dorm room party and having a blast with people I do not know.

Someone asking to sit with me on the bus, and holding a conversation all the way to my stop.

Going to my mother's house and seeing my cat jump through all the furniture to get over and rub my leg.

Power outages, with a lot of people, candles.. and having to clear the fridge out of icecream because you don't know when the power will be back on.

Putting on clothes warm out of the dryer.

Hearing a song for the first time, and "feeling" it.

Road trips.

Gourmet coffee.

Realising a girl has been looking my way..

Making people laugh.

Talking with someone and losing track of time.

Having someone in RL talk to me and actually be interested in what I have to say (happens once every blue moon )

Standing on the Roof of a tall building during a storm of any kind

Going for a walk during a fierce thunderstorm (alone or with a girl, the latter sadly beeing the exception)

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

I remember when I used to live with my parents. They lived on top of the mountain ranges just outside the city, and I always loved watching the thunderstorms rolling across the flats toward the mountain, then listening to the rain on the roof...

add to that:

Hugs from someone I love.. which leads to more fun

Sitting in front of an open fire and sipping hot cocoa in winter

Talking with friends and enjoying their companionship

and everything else everyone has mentioned so far
