Happiness is ....

[Gypsy]

... running out of room on your anime dvd shelf, forcing you to double-stack. Same for your manga shelf.

... the time it takes for all your plugins to load.

[shooraijin]

... a sunny day, a nice walk and a cold fizzy beverage.

[Rev. Doc]

I remember a Peanuts (Charlie Brown) book that came out many years ago entitled, "Happiness is..." One of them was, "Happiness is...falling asleep on the back seat of the car as your parents are driving you home." I could related to that so well because I remember it happening so many time. I still remember that feeling even today. And you always wondered how you got into bed when you woke up the next morning.

My father was a fireman with the LA County Fire Department for 25 years. They worked very strange schedules. My dad was very heavy in the snoring department, and I could always remember the sense of security on the nights he was home when I would hear him snoring down the hall. That also is happiness.

a hug from a girl on the first day of school, or anytime really.

I remember a Peanuts (Charlie Brown) book that came out many years ago entitled, "Happiness is..." One of them was, "Happiness is...falling asleep on the back seat of the car as your parents are driving you home."

I think I remember the strip that was taken from! Charlie Brown had mentioned that to Peppermint Patty as they were sitting and talking under a tree. But then he said something that went along the lines of, "One day you grow up and it's all over... you never get to sleep in the back seat again." In a fit of panic, Patty grabbed his hand while exclaiming, "Hold my hand, Chuck!"

I think the one that Charles Schulz coined that got the whole "Happiness is..." thing going ended with "...a warm puppy," said by Lucy after Snoopy gave her a big hug.

[The Silence]

Hmm... maybe I should make it a habit to hug all my guy friends regularly...
XD

[Icarus]

For me, it would be a good, thick book on the weekend, no work, no school, no chores, nothing to keep you from reading. A steady supply of warm spanakopita, and cold cream soda.

Happiness will be the release of Jing 5.

[Gremio]

Happiness is....

....finding an anime that has a satisfying ending.
....knowing that G-d will never leave you.

[mechana2015]

Finding out someone worthwhile has their eye on you.
A hug.
Friendly dogs...or cats...or other furry animals.
Music...especially really nice classical, such as John Williams (not his really incessantly heard stuff but other things like the olympic themes)

[Kisa]

Knowing God is there no matter what.
Having family and close friends who you know care for you.
Reading a Manga or seeing an Anime that leaves you with a good deep lasting impression.
^_^
Also having a pet who you can love!

[CobaltAngel]

... taking a walk in the woods on a cold, rainy day at 5:30 in the morning.

[cbwing0]

I second the hug thing, but other than that, happiness is...

...Hearing a funny joke
...Reading a good book
...Leveling up your RPG character
...Beating your friends in Street Fighter
...Watching a good movie, anime, etc.
...Pizza, fried chicken, hot and sour soup, hot dogs, hash browns, seafood, bacon...
...Getting a package in the mail
...Arguing (although I would prefer to use the term "discussing") a complex issue with an intellectual equal
...Sweet tea (homemade, of course)
...Finishing a tough workout
...Snow on the trees
...New clothes
...The moment when you find the answer to a difficult problem
...Well-deserved sleep
...Helping others
...Knowing at the end of the day that you are better person that you were yesterday
...Praying
...Catching someone's eye just to see if you can
...Plans that work
...Hearing from old friends
...Saying (or thinking of) something clever
...Sitting in front of a roaring fire
...Beach, forest, mountains, clean cities

As you can see, I'm easy to please

[DrNic]

happiness is: getting your mail order and sliding your brand new anime dvd or red hot chili peppers album out of its package for the very first time.
happiness is: turning around to find the girl you fancy talking to you (or is that a heart attack?)
happiness is: praying to God and feeling feedback

and I wouldn't agree that running out of room on a dvd rack is good because you have to go out and buy another! (i should know, my dad finally got me something to put my dvds on and it was filled up the second day i had it!)

[Michael]

Happiness is taking what's incomplete and completing it.
