Coffee, Capcom, sex, food. The world has way to much good in it for me to narrow it down to only one thing. However, I'll try - music. Music is my life, my soul, my everything - I can't breathe without it.

But still, I love so much - poetry, prose, intensity, adreniline, love, lust, the sky. It's fun and life is a pretty good place to be.
Mata
Tea. Definitely tea.

Although walking in heavy, warm rain is very nice too, as is coming inside afterwards and having a cup of hot-chocolate smile.gif
HoldenCaulfield
people. i know that some people are evil and they are ruining the world etc etc, but for me (generally) all the great things in the world are made better when im enjoying them with friends.

Adrenaline. Whatever it comes from. Whether I'm scared or excited or angry, I just the love the sudden rush and then afterwards when you feel all light headed and giggly smile.gif
CrazyFooIAintGettinOnNoPlane
I dont think I could live without music either. People are ok too though.

You know coffee (sp?) comes from adrenaline.
Faerieryn
OK I am going to sound soppy here but... love, music and I have to agree with Mata, Tea.

All three of these things are essential to my current happiness and I'm not sure how I would cope without them
PsychWardMike
Arachnidoc... WHAT?!

Just lying in the sun with your eyes closed listeniing to music and totally relaxing.

Coffee. Caffeine is a derivative of Adrenaline.
Mata
How does that work? Do coffee beans have adenaline in them before they are processed? (I somehow doubt that.)
Ashbless
I'm with the others on this, caffeine may trigger adrenaline (maybe) but is not derived from it. Caffeine's a substance built by certain plants for whatever reason plants do that sort of thing. Adrenaline is a chemical produced in animals to pump up their/our system to react quickly to danger.

On topic sunshine, a hot cup of tea, a good book and a purring cat are all very good things.
arachnidoc17
Hm. I heard that AGES ago yet I cannot remember where...
It's been a while, maybe it was the other way around?

Also, yes, caffeine has been known to trigger higher adrenaline levels.

I do believe some form of caffeine CAN be taken out of adrenaline.
Museum Girl
Coffee, and being the only person awake for miles around (or so you imagine), thanks to said coffee.

Starbucks and their white chocolate mocha *mmm*

Starbucks definetly but their caramel machiato and caramel coffee frapecino reign supreme.
damned and dastardly
After thinking this question over for a long time I've decided I can't narrow it down to one thing so I made a list! Huffah!

1) Saying really random words loudly and people yelling them back
2) Pirate John from Lerwick
3) Chips and cheese, so good I could cry
4) Indeed Mata, tea rocks.

That depends entirely on the type of hug wink.gif

Hmm... I'd say the best thing about the world is that there is more to it than just the world itself. If that makes sense!

And lets throw some random Conan in here:

Mongol General: We have won again. That is good! But what is best in life?

Mongol Warrior: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcon on your wrist, wind in your hair!

Mongol General: Wrong! Conan, what is best in life?

Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!

And lets throw some random Cohen right back at ya

QUOTE (The Light Fantastic - Terry Pratchett)
Then the chieftain turned respectfully to his guest, a small figure carefully warming his chilblains by the fire, and said: 'But our guest, whose name is a legend, must tell us truly: what are they that a man may call the greatest things in life?'

The guest paused in the middle of another unsuccessful attempt to light up

'What shay?' he said, toothlessly.
'I said: what are they that a man may call the greatest things in life?'

The warriors leaned closer. This should be worth hearing.

The guest thought long and hard and then said with deliberation: 'Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper'


Cohen the Barbarian at his best I feel.

He was a legend in his own lifetime. Muscles like a sack full of footballs.

That exact quote was running through my head as I typed my post biggrin.gif
Forever Unknown
I love how people like to give quotes rather than answers. So entertaining.

Best thing in the world is entirely subjective. Petes rate highest, and musics, and family, but I enjoy Buffy too, and squishes and nuzzles and sweet tea and curry and stuff!

Silly topic. Shush.
Quoth(The Raven)
despie my grousing, and depressive behavior, I have to admit that there are a few good things: Books, music, TV, Movies, comic books, and more... (What, you expect maybe rainbows and cute puppies? Blech!).
froggle-rock
Speaking of rainbows, Quoth, I remember being on a train to London after a weekend with my aunt to clear my head. Well, I saw a double rainbow, which was beautiful. So that was definatly a good thing. It really lifted my spirits.

Black bean burritos from Chipotle.

The feeling of independence that only comes from wandering a huge city where you don't speak the language and the accompaning discoveries, challenges and nifty kitsch to be found.

Also, books and cuddles and unexpected phone calls from friends and family are nice.
Getting pleasantly drunk with your best friend
Finding a $5 bill on the street even if you have a 20 in your wallet.
Mountains
The ocean
Body surfing or just jumping in the waves and shouting "WOO!"
Canadian national parks.
The internet
Kafka
Vonnegut
The warm, smokey, dirty smell you have after spending the week camping in the woods.

Right you are

"I found me a place where I can do good without doing no harm, and I can see I'm doing good, and them I'm doing good for know I'm doing it, and they love me, Unk, as best as they can. I found me a home."

Good books (I have a whole bookcase of them, and I'm only about 5 years into actually being into books), the love you get from a cat when he/ she wants something- its the best biggrin.gif especially when they want your food..

An uncrowded, un-polluted beach in the evening with friends and a barbecue and a couple of guitars.

And fruit.
I_am_the_best
Those sisterly chats. Like an oasis amid a desert of arguments and such. It's so nice when you can tell all. I tell her stuff I don't even tell my friends. smile.gif
depressed lonely crazy person
Warm heavy blankets
Rain
Long hugs
Music
Finishing a sewing project
Laying out fabric that's been cut strait
A cat coming and settling down on your bed
Feeling yourself falling asleep strait away
Clean ceilings.

I'll post more later

Long hugs


Oh yes! How could I forget?! I love them too. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, especially if I'm hugging someone who I really like. Hugs are very special, I like hugging people. *hugs all round*

there're too many good things to narrow it down to just one, so, I'll just be really really general and just say all the little things happy.gif
Wyvern
So many things are wonderful I have to agree with Trunks girl its always the little things but right now it has to be the electrical feel and smell in the air. Its just rained and it feels like a thunderstorm is on its way, superb!

Octopus are cool biggrin.gif
Today, the best thing in the world was finding a bong in my art teachers cupboard during my exam, after she had just come up to me and told me that my art was crap.

And I think that scythes are rather cool as you can use them to make hay (obviously grass is involved) and they make the cut grass smell but without the petrol-y smell.
And Frank Zappa's music.
