    Wow... I have occasionally wondered what that would be like... I think it's like with anything, when you find someone who understands what you're going through, or where you have been. Sign language is really beautiful. To the observer, it does seem like art (like dancing with the hands, with deep meaning) - do you feel like you are performing or making art forms, or are you just talking?

    I think we all find a kinship with other people who share a common language, whether spoken, sign, or interest-based... (arts, science, math, health, music... etc.)...

    When I'm signing with friends, I'm just talking. Some sign different than others so it may seem more artistic in regular every day conversations...

    But, it's also an art form! There's sign language poetry, jokes, stories, everything =). ( http://www.d-pan.org/ is a good example of the artistic side of the language)

    Things that make me happy:

    Reading- anything, everything
    Drinking coffee on my front porch
    Great conversations with friends
    Laughter
    Puppy love
    the theater
    singing (at home, in front of others- doesn't matter)
    Cooking
    A great glass of wine
    Hugs
    Long conversations in bed with the bf when we're wrapped around each other
    clean laundry
    listening to Tori Amos

    Do we need an essay to prove we aren't shallow?

    All I can say is...

    you see what the girls are giving, but you give so much less.

    It seems deliberate. And...

    It's very telling.

    Oh well. Some simple things don't need to be drawn out.

    This thread is about sharing the things that make us happy, not criticizing anyone for the things they choose (or don't choose) to share. Feel free to create another thread for a discussion, if you so please, but I ask that you don't derail mine with negativity.

    It's not your thread, bitch (an expression of indifference, not hatred). :D

    Oh please - and ignore the obvious?

    They are mocking you with their brevity, unless I am just
    completely misunderstanding men - although I know some
    that are capable of a coherent thought.

    More things

    Witnessing acts of kindness

    Feathers

    Playing video games with my bf

    Writing

    Creation, and the process that leads to it

    Coming up with new ideas for old things

    Driving on the freeway headed west, during sunset, when the sun looks so close it looks like you're driving straight into it.

    Margaritas

    Helping someone who really needs it

    I have asked you respectfully. Please, if you don't want to participate then don't, but this is not the thread for criticism. It's unnecessary and repugnant.

    THEY are repugnant. I gave you a beautiful list of things I love,
    and you noticed not a one.

    Helping someone who really needs it

    That was one of the first things I listed. You didn't notice it.

    All brothers can talk about is material shit. Or a label. Like "Philosophy".

    I wanted to participate, then noticed the crap that was being offered from the BM side of the spectrum compared to all of the beauty that the WW were offering.

    You would have to be blind not to notice. But then, you didn't see my post, did you?

    Don't forget, I'm an artist like you. And I am telling you...

    There is something wrong with this picture.
