This Patryn thing got me thinking.....

[Sparky Kronkite]

About the mysteries of you. Your reality. Your "real" reality. And I think more importantly - your happiness. Your real, not on the BB, walk around, breathing air, in your home, feet on the coffe table - reality.

Don't you all wonder the same thing?

Of course - what is reality? What is happiness? We could go on and on about that. Happiness, sadness, reality - it's all relative.

"Tryin' to make it real, compared to what?"

But that said - let's pretend.

There is a 1 to 10 point scale that meassures happiness - 10 being very, very happy and 1 being very, very sad......

Please - ladies and gentlemen - have some balls here....

Rate your happiness!

I will go first - 8.5.

 

[CW]

Okay,,, I'd say that I'm about a 7 - 7.5,,, except for an unexplained slow down in my work it'd be a bit higher,,,

 

[forgetunome]

Now that I'm on anti-depressents.....I rate about 7 points. If you would have asked this before August then it would've been -7 points.

 

[R Nitelight]

4.

 

[CW]

WOW

Now that I'm on anti-depressents.....I rate about 7 points. If you would have asked this before August then it would've been -7 points.

Those must be some hellishly good drugs there,,,

Okay, smartassedness aside,,, I for one am delighted that you are now in the plus column

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Geeze - folks!!!!

Maybe this was a bad idea - now of course I'm curious - and it goes both ways. You know - why? Why 7.5? Why lower than 5? Shit!

But I won't ask. It's your business after all.

I will wish everyone that stumbles upon this thread - hell I'll just wish "everyone" a 10!!!!!

Go for 10! And don't sink to 3 if you don't attain it. 7 and 8's ain't bad.

Okay, okay - from here on out, if you want - how bout current rating and "potential" rating? So let's say - currently 3 (maybe a death in the family or your corn flakes got soggy) but potentially an easy 7.

Only if you want.

You folks drive me nuts.

 

[R Nitelight]

Sparky

It was about a 2 1/2 before I met you.
Keep up the good work.

 

[forgetunome]

We like driving you nuts Sparky! and yep...CW them are REAL good drugs!

 

[CW]

Re: Geeze - folks!!!!

You folks drive me nuts.

Thought that was the objective Sparky,,, looks like we are succeding in small stages.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

But.....

I will go "happily" mad.

Dozin' and droolin', I went face down at the pottery wheel. Too much Thorazine.... to much drugs..... where's my cactus? My only friend.

 

[Expertise]

Probably better than the national average but...

6.5, 7.5 on a good day. That should be tempered by my admission that I have an extremely high happiness/excitement threshold.

I tend not to get too up or too down. Mundane, my life has become so F-ing mundane. Maybe I need to go back to a job where I get shot at on a semi-frequent basis. It makes you appreciate nights in front of the TV and grocery shopping

 

[KillerMuffin]

My? I'm almost permanently on two anti-depressants that have too many side effects for my tastes, the make me happy, the make me gain a lil weight, they don't stop my seizures.

So, artificially, I rate about a 20.

In reality, radical negative one I love that number, it rather defines the perception of existence while making actuaries howl in their godlike frustration.

Okay, a 10. The StudMuffin showed up, I forgave him (which confused him go figure?) and got laid. Usually, call me a 7ish.

*dances a just got laid jig*

 

[April]

So, Ex, your mundanity would explain my dust? Maybe my preoccupation with numbing my mind as much as possible would explain your dust? LOL

Anyway, my happiness factor...umm, let's see...I would say a 6.5, brought down by the reality of where I'm living.
boo, hiss! LOL

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yeah... mundane....

Not good for me. The second I feel that I'm walkin' in ruts - that's when I go down to 2 or 3.

I have built a contrary, mundane-less lifestyle - thusly......

I don't do anything the same way twice - at least that is my attempt. I don't brush my teeth the same way, bathe the same way, or clean house the same way. I walk to work via numerous different routes every day. I maintain slightly different works hours everyday. I start and stop projects at varying times - to prevent boredom.

I have taken many a recreational drug in my day - but never out of negative, self depreciating thoughts - only thoughts of diverse recreation. My tequila and Budweiser fill that bill lately. But it will soon change.

Motorcycles, music, old beater cars - all these things I must have as hobbies are corollary to my anti-mundane lifestyle.

And.... as for sex? That's the one baby! The one big Ferris wheel, roller coaster in my/our lives that really helps keep things from being mundane.

I hate mundane. Mundane - no good.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

"it rather defines the perception of existence while making actuaries howl in their godlike frustration."

Killer!!!! KM.

 

[Expertise]

April i'm trying to make the leap to follow your meaning but I am not exactly sure which rock I should jump to...

Little help/explanation?

 

[April]

dust...mailbox...no mail lately

5 minutes left this morning. must go soon.

 

[Juliangel]

I would say I am usually at about a 7 but as you can tell from my thread yesterday I am at about 2 or 3 this week.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

To further this invitation.........

To all Lurker's and other shy types - or those not so inclined to release such personal info......

Feel free to respond as an "anonymous guest" - even a Troll.

You should be creative however - if you are relatively unhappy - let's say a 2 or a 3 - register as Shawn Penn or something. If you are pretty content in the 5 or 6 range - be Raymond or the Everybody Likes show - If you are just one happy mother fucker - sign in as Gidget.

C'mon now. You all now have no excuses to be shy. It's simply: Gidget - 10! Grin, grin, grin.

[CreamyLady]

I, too, wobble all over the scale. Today, though, is about a 6, maybe a 6.5.

 

[TN_Vixen]

If I can keep up with your rating system long enough to determine where my happiness quotient should lie...then,then.. (smile)

I'm a relatively happy person most of the time. I laugh a lot, smile a lot, and never take myself too seriously. People who are too sensitive confuse me. I don't get why they can't laugh at themselves or with other people laughing at them. *shrug*

But, I do go through dark periods where I'm what you'd consider unhappy... which has more to do with my inability to meet my own expectations.

Right now? I'm 6.825.

Tomorrow night in my leather mini? 10! hehe

 

[teresafannin]

Mine varies a great deal. Today is a fair day so I'd say a 6. For me, it all depends on what happens through the day & the memories it triggers. To be at 10 again, I would have to go back to September 14, 1999. My family & friends tell me it will get better, but the therapist says if it doesn't get better soon, it is meds for me.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Hey Vix?

If'n I told ya that you're a very hot, highly desirable peice of ass - would that run you up to a 7?

 

[R Nitelight]

Sparky

It would certainly perk ME up....
