Apologies if this is a repeat post. I’m not as avid of a Lemmy user as most, probably.
Someone not long ago asked what makes people unreasonably unhappy or angry. I wanted to flip that over and see what people are looking forward to?
No really topic here, just sharing, uplifting and learning. Maybe a post like this could help spark an interest in something for someone else.
Me? Other than watching my family grow and me growing along with them, I would have to say I’m excited about learning.
More specifically, recent life has made it relevant for me to learn about solar off-grid systems. Though I know I have a lot of learning to do, I look forward to putting the knowledge to practice sometime in the near future.
How about you?

Been
a yeartwo years since I last released music. I’m now close to releasing my latest industrial prog metal EP consisting of 5 songs.Food forest concept has been really cool to get into
I went from prefering perneals, to permaculture, to full on food forest goals. I love it. Got a few buckets of apples this year and my first gallon of elderberry juice. Was able to pick some nice mulberries and have some tomatios on the way.
All of which I just pruned this year. Which is A TON less work then tilling, planting, weeding, and watering.
Got a fig tree on the way, mint taking over a good patch. Still figuring out what guilds of plant really work on my hugalculture walls where I live.
Honestly I love foraging my own yard vs feeling like it was a chore I had to keep up on.
My wife and I (mostly her) started some simpler growing this summer. We are both new at it.
Just basically a single raised garden with potatoes and carrots, a small compost bin and a little garden greenhouse.
I don’t think either of us were really expecting it to feel so rewarding to harvest food that we grew. It’s the most excited I have seen her about something since the kids were born. We are hoping to upscale a bit more next year with what we have learned so far.
Food forest concept isn’t something I have heard of, but I’ll definitely dig into it, so thanks for that!
I’m seeing my best friends this weekend, I’m pretty stoked about that. We’re gonna play board games and watch movies and chat. I don’t get to see them very often, it’s honestly been months and I’ve been spiralling into a really bad depression, but I’m really excited.
Depression is no joke. A psychiatrist once told me that everyone has bad days, but if you have more than 1 a week on average, you should see somebody.
I’m glad your friends are coming. It sounds like an awesome time.
Sounds like a pretty great weekend you’ve got lined up! Do you know what kind of movies and which boardgames?
I’m not sure about movies, we’ll probably try out this new movie selector app that one of them found that syncs your selections to choose something you both want to see.
For board games I was thinking Betrayal at House on the Hill and maybe Sheriff of Nottingham, Clacks, and whatever they bring. Maybe some card games, too. Oh, maybe Cards Against Humanity too, since I don’t get to play it much.
I’m gonna make cookies for snacks and bulgogi for lunch, it’s gonna be great.Oh that app sounds incredibly useful, would love to hear how that works out!
But seems like a great times!
We tried the app (called Queue), it pairs pretty easily with your friend but you have to make an account to use it. The app asks for the streaming platforms you have but still suggests movies that aren’t on the services, so I guess in that regard it was a bit of a dud. 3/10, good idea, clean layout, needs a lot of work.
Linux, Fediverse, Meshtastic, WebSDR, Public Libraries and more open, non-commercial and decentralized stuff like that
You’re literally me. I love open source, decentralization and public knowledge so I totally love what you said.
These things are favourites of mine as well, though I find my family life conflicts a lot with my projects. Not in a bad way, just that there is only so much time in a day.
I really look forward to the selfh.st newsletter each week.
Getting home with a bag full of groceries for several days off, no plans others than enjoying loneliness and my gaming PC.
I even have a small dance and excitement sound for that.
There’s a lot of good TV coming. Peacemaker season 2, fallout season 2, gen v season 2, the boys season 5, Rick and Morty season 8, mortal Kombat movie sequel. Fallout 5 the game was recently put on full development, but I doubt we’ll ever see that, as it’ll take 10-12 years of development, and I honestly don’t believe we have that much time left for a functional society.
It will be released in tandem with the next tes game and half-life 3!
TES 6 will happen. It can’t possibly be more than 2 years away, right? Right? But fallout 5 has no chance of getting finished.
Tonight is the night we drop off our donations for the week at the mutual aid society free store. We usually walk away with some baked goods for ourselves, but that’s not what I’m excited about.
There’s a taqueria a block away that we only recently discovered has A) really good al pastor and 2] a twelve-taco platter for $42 that comes with soft drinks for the table. And Wednesday is $10 fishbowl margaritas!
PONY ISLAND 2
and no other games at all
But Pony Island 2
I’ll change school this year 'cause i didn’t have a good relationship with my classmates. I’m pretty excited to see who I’ll end up with!
I’m glad you have the opportunity to hit the reset button like that. It sounds like you have a positive look ahead for the change, which is half the battle in my opinion.
It might take some time to feel like you fit in better with your new group, but the extra effort is worth it ten fold if you do find your close friend group there.
Most of the best friendships I ever had started off a bit Rocky. And usually were not at all what I expected. Come to think of it, things are rarely what I expect.
Best of luck!
Really appreciated the reply. Thanks!
Lots!
My co-ed soccer team lost a heartbreaker of a championship game, but goddamn we’ve improved and I’m excited for next season!
My softball team is wrapping up our season tonight and as we’ve all enjoyed each other we’ve started talking about what to do as a group for the offseason, so I’m excited to see how that turns out!
My friend and I have plans to work on his cabin in the fall with fewer mosquitos etc and that’s always been a blast.
The international film fest is coming to town soon and even in a down year, there’s a dozen that look pretty fun to me. Plus, a few friends I don’t see as often as I’d like (they’re busy starting families etc) usually catch a few together which is great for the soul!
Oh, and one of my film fest favourites, Deathgasm, has a sequel coming out soon and it’s great to see an absurd but wonderful indie flick do well. I am stoked to get high as balls and watch the hell out of that.
Then it’s the winter and I’ll take a lot of mornings off to ski and work the afternoon, which is an amazing combination.
Work’s paying for a few courses in the fall and winter semesters so I’m quite stoked to up my skills for free!
And finally, kind of dumb but I’ve started persona 5 royal, it’s my first JRPG in maybe a decade and it’s just been delightful so I’m pretty excited to take that journey.
Your life reads like it is the good kind of busy. Not the corporate phone ringing all the time kind, but the wholesome living it up kind. Love it!
Next episode of The Amazing Digital Circus next month(?), next season of Invincible next year(?), Deltarune Chapter 5 next year…
Pokemon Legends: Z-A :)
I’m excited I have a second nephew coming in March
I never really got the excitement as a kid. Why were adults so happy for another mouth to feed? Diapers to change?
Then I became an uncle and it made a lot more sense. Kids are hilarious. Early congrats for March!
5 hours and no replies?my instance is f’d up I guess.damn, thats harsh!
I look forward to the nightmare fuel the president vomits out every day…
