Satisfaction is...

[Guest]

Cleaning out my mouse.

I find removing the ball from my mouse, then picking off the grime from the three little wheels inside, to be highly theraputic. I've just done it and I feel so calm and at peace with myself and the world.

Am I alone in this?

What little mundane things do you derive pleasure from?

Ok, enough of that, back to nudie rudie stories...

Geez, I didn't know mice could be cleaned, let alone that they had three balls. P.

edit: Ah ha ha on me, you said wheels. Shows you where my mind's at; I'm writing a new contest story

Cleaning out my mouse.

Is that anything like ckeaning out the box, the other great pastime of AH-ers?

I thought everyone had optical mouses these days.

Cleaning house. It's calming to me, allows my mind to wander where it will and at the end of the day I can look at allI have done and feel like a day spent day dreaming wasn't wasted

Ok now, in spirit of the thread's intent. Mundane things.

I'm a juggler. I need a pen, a comb, a water bottle, coins, something anything that I can casually juggle about while I think.

Dusting the books.

I have about 3,000 at last count (the kids were bored one afternoon) and they not only collect it, they generate it.

With optical mouses (that is the correct plural, I found a few days ago) we can get some of the satisfaction Lou was referring to by cleaning those small grey rubber pads that elevate the mouse a half millimetre off the table surface. It's not the same, but still feels pretty good.

Wheels, balls, what’s the difference?

My mouse is one of those Buddhist eunuchs, powered only by the enlightenment of its navel.

My mouse and I have a purely professional relationship, which never drags us into any intimate affairs.

Lou, go back to writing!

Lou, go back to writing!

I'm having the night off - I wrote for five hours solid last night, including editing. Tonight is reading night. 7 contest entries down, about 65 to go. It's gonna be a long night.

And my fingers have gone all pruney.

One large ball and three little wheels is even more worrying.

Hey ho, he enjoyed it! He's still squeeking now.

I clean my coffee-maker like Lou does her mouse, every once in awhile. Maybe a sign of obsessive-compulsive behavior?

At least I have my priorities straight.

*Wiping my brow in relief.*
Thank god, I thought I was the only one.
Its so hard to live with one's quirkiness, when one thinks they are the only one.
I too, derive great personal pleasure from removing the ball and cleaning the wheels. The feeling of calmness when the mouse moves around, smoothly and cursor glides across the screen, rather than jumping in unconnected jerks, fills my soul.

*Zen meditative hum*.

Indeed! Thank God for that!

Ahhh, a kindred spirit.

(I like the bit where, after I've flicked off the dirt with my fingernail, I slam the mouse down on the desk, then lift it, to see quite how much dirt was in there. I like to see a decent sized pile - makes it all worthwhile).

Cloudy: obsessive-compulsive disorder? Probably!

This is the saddest thing I've read all day.

I can top that, Tatelou.
Having the long, think head of tresses I do, I always lose more then a few strands after I shower. Once every so often, about an hour later when I'm fully clothed, I will start to get an annoying itching sensation on my hiney. Let me tell you something... and anyone who denies this is lying... there is nothing in this world more orgasmic then removing a single hair wedged in the crevis of your ass!

OMG, YES!!!

I know that feeling - pure bliss!

I too have very long thick hair, and that happens to me once in a delicious while.



(What is wrong with us? )

Lou

 

[sincerely_helene]

Nothing wrong with us. We are just the only ones bold enough to openly admit it!

(At lease I have not become so obsessed that I am "planting" my own hairs... yet.)

Very true!

(There will be people out there now, who have never had it happen by accident, attempting to place strands of hair in their bum crack. )

Heh heh.

My edit came at the same time you posted. Warped minds...
