You accidentally made my day
Who indirectly or unwittingly contributed to the joy in your life?

Who introduced you to something that you now enjoy a lot? Who first introduced you to your significant other? Who stepped out of the way just in time to open up a great opportunity for you?



Some of my teachers in high school and college made me very happy due to their sense of humor and kindness toward me. My high school art teacher and art history teacher both made me feel very relaxed and I found my art history teacher very funny (though he made jokes based on the reading material and I was practically the only student who did the reading). I wasn't unhappy during that time, in general, but I was very unhappy in school -- it was too overloading for me. A girl in my last art class in college used to play a Tori Amos cd in the art room after class when we'd be in the art studio painting and I thought Tori Amos sounded so magical and fairy tale-like. I slowly became a big Tori Amos fan. I listened to her songs every day, often all day, for a recent period of years. I don't listen to her every day now, but a lot of days I do. No one introduced me to Michael -- he found me on LiveJournal and IM'ed me. I guess my ex-boyfriend before I met Michael opened an opportunity for me by leaving me and me feeling so lonely afterward. It's why I decided to start a LiveJournal, so I'd have more people to communicate with. It's also how I met Michael and a number of friends. I'm pretty much over the damage of that particular ex-boyfriend and can laugh at the situation.

Top Ten: taken for granted
What are ten things that you take for granted, and rarely think about — things that enrich your life or make your life easier for you?


1. My mother and her assistance to me
2. The cleanliness and safety of my house (no major mold problems, etc.)
3. Having a home to myself instead of having to live with my mother and brother (even if this came about out of necessity because my brother was trying to kill me and the hospital wouldn't let me go unless I would not be living with him...)
4. My general health (no severe health problems and my asthma has been under control since leaving my mother's house)
5. Having some talents, though they are enforced by practice
6. Not having any major disfigurements that could cause me to be mistreated by others
7. Getting approved for disability, with backpayments, on my first try
8. Having a father that worked hard, despite his alcoholism and mental illness
9. Although my tap water isn't really good for drinking, it is still safe
10. I have never been truly without friends, even if I couldn't do much with them when younger
