-   -   On A Scale Of 1 To 10, How Happy Are You? (http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=40739)

I'm generally very happy, but usually too anxious and worried about problems that aren't even mine. I'm very lucky and very happy but when I am not happy, I'm not just not happy I'm fucking miserable to an extent I think most people don't even experience.

But generally, I'm humming and walking around and thinking that things are wonderful.

But then there's fear.

So 8.

i'd say i'm about a 9.5 or 9.75 most of the time, everyone has their off days :-)

automatic bzooty 08.03.2010 09:27 AM

i think i'm at, like... 7 today already, and i got up twenty minutes ago. woo.

Genteel Death 08.03.2010 03:27 PM

1 to 10, depending on the day.

ann ashtray 08.03.2010 03:33 PM

At this moment, a solid 5.

no, living is the best part of life. Being able to exist regardless of any emotive interpretation is zen. To base life on a scale of perceived happiness is a fatalistic, defeating and egoist way of living doomed to utter failure. After all, it is inevitable that circumstance will at times make you unhappy, and even the very things that make you happy at one moment, can be the guilt trip of a lifetime and cause an infinite sadness after the fact..

The Mantra that gets me out of bed every morning is,

"Don't
Be
Afraid
of
Your
Life."

Most of the time my life is in a free-fall. Sometimes happy, sometimes stressed out to the point of bleeding.

I'm going to tune my guitar to this and see what happens.

SONIC GAIL 08.03.2010 07:38 PM

20. Finally goin home. Long ass fuckin day. The bong is waiting

batreleaser 08.04.2010 07:56 AM

6. I need to get laid.

frades 08.04.2010 08:13 AM

10-3=7 just because:

"well, it's one for the money
two for the show
three to get ready
now go,cat, go"

ink. 08.04.2010 08:21 AM

scale not large enough to quantify. so.. 10... but it is an inaccurate 10.

dale_gribble 08.04.2010 01:01 PM

-1 right now

Antagon 08.21.2010 01:07 PM

2.5 atm

artsygrrl 08.22.2010 08:15 PM

It rained today and everything smells fresh and clean. No humidity today.

That makes me a happy 10. For the moment, anyway.

You'll break the top three strings on your guitar trying to reach notes O, Y, and L. Those are far higher/lower than most humans can hear.

EVOLghost 08.22.2010 09:36 PM

Im' completly neutral. is that like a 5? that seems way too low. 6 sounds better. I'm gonna go with 6

Antagon 08.29.2010 07:53 PM

5...could be worse but I can feel everything falling apart again

Sonic Youth 37 08.29.2010 10:35 PM

-800. The girl I'm living with/dating/sleeping with is "watching a movie with a friend" and won't tell me who. I know she won't tell me for fear of pissing me off (because I know it's a dude), but the effect is the same.

My recourse: I'm getting drunk and smoking more cigarettes than I have in a year and listen to the Door's first album.

deflinus 08.29.2010 11:43 PM

4.. i've got a lot of things i have to do to better my situation in life.

pbradley 08.29.2010 11:50 PM

5, I suppose.

Any other number and I can't be bothered to mention it here.

jon boy 08.29.2010 11:56 PM

7 or 8 right now. we are doing a record and someone else is paying, i am pretty happy about that.

Murmer99 08.30.2010 03:13 AM

sums it up.

loubarret 08.30.2010 03:17 AM

5, for sure

Bal 08.30.2010 06:36 AM

ann ashtray 08.30.2010 02:56 PM

On a scale of 1 to ten I feel amazing.

 

DanielCarlson 08.30.2010 03:11 PM

5, I guess. I don't know, I live a pretty good life, but everything's exactly like it has always been and I'm fucking tired of it. Routine routine routine. I need a change of some sort.

Antagon 09.11.2010 02:07 PM

2...fuck it

My happiness quotient at the moment is measured in deep negative numbers.

Why not go see a theatrical play or some other event with 'a friend'? If she can play by those rules, so can you until she's willing to talk about it.

automatic bzooty 09.11.2010 05:08 PM

tonight is shaping up to be an 8 or so. i'm going to have fun in a room full of incredibly volatile people.

Yeah, I should. That post was from a bad week. We had a big argument but talked it out like real humans. Things seem to be good now.

Today:
+8, saw the Pixies last night (better than I was expecting...for a money-making scam of course), just got back after a hideous 4 hour drive through a thunderstorm, debating seeing Best Coast tonight.

terriblecanyons 09.11.2010 08:06 PM

I'll say something like 7 or 8. :3

Murmer99 09.12.2010 03:22 AM

2.

I'm a fucking moron.

static-harmony 09.13.2010 10:25 AM

9 i have everything going my way at the moment.

SONIC GAIL 09.13.2010 10:59 AM

7.5 today...not bad not great just good
