I got tagged to do the 10 Happy Things meme: list, in no particular order, ten things that make you happy, and then tap five people to do the same.


Off the top of my head, 10 happy-making things.

1.) Singing choral music one-to-a-part. A Josquin motet where I'm the only one on my line? Awesome.
2.) Food! Esp.: Bent Spoon ice cream; good clam chowder; the gooey inside of a soft-boiled egg; fresh-squeezed orange juice; cheese; Burdick's hot chocolate (of any flavor). I could go on!
3.) Cuddling. Barring the possibility for that, getting a long hug from a good hugger that I care about.
4.) New Year's in Western MA.
5.) Backrubs.
6.) Reading a good, straight-forward, rip-roaring adventure novel. Or mystery.
7.) Getting on my bike for the first time in the spring, and thinking "Oh, this is where I belong. I'd forgotten." Also, going on long, long bike-trips, where the only thing to think about is making sure you eventually get where you're going.
8.) [livejournal.com profile] rissymonster's latest entry made me miss TKD. Dominating a sparring match is quite a feeling, though it would take me some practice before it would be likely to happen again!
9.) I'm not sure that "happy" is the right word for leading a good rehearsal. Similar to sparring, it's too absorbing an activity for me to register emotions during it. But it certainly is a trip, in a good way!
10.) [livejournal.com profile] chorusgirl19 is having us sing "As I Went Down to the River to Pray" (from O Brother, Where Art Thou) in her recital. Singing that is happy-making.


I can't remember who has and hasn't been tagged yet - if you've already done this, then disregard me! But I tag [livejournal.com profile] cycon, [livejournal.com profile] dooneling, [livejournal.com profile] thomascantor, [livejournal.com profile] mixedborder, and [livejournal.com profile] suhnkecher.

You do NOT get to sing "As I Went Down." You, you, choral-tastic little *wench,* you... ;)

I am so jealous now, and I will have to think of ten good things to chase the unsightly green from my complexion.

*laugh* I know. Is not [livejournal.com profile] chorusgirl19 teh cool for picking it?

Is there any chance of me prevailing upon you to come here us perform Christ Lag in Todesbanden in late October?

Oh, I would love to. I would really, really love to. What's the closest bus station? How does one get there sans car?

Well, if you can get to New York, or Trenton, or even Philadelphia, I can give you directions via train. I also assume you could probably take Amtrak to Princeton Junction station. And I also assume you could get a bus to a nearby major city (see above) and again, I could give you directions from there.

The concert itself is actually in New York City at 7 pm on Sunday, October 30. So if you know a New Yorker, you could stay with them, or you could come back on the bus or train with me to Princeton and stay with me.
