"INFINITE OREGANO" and other matters.

Boom de yadda, boom de yadda, boom de yadda, boom de yadda...

Yes, I'm in a ridiculously cheerful mood, for the most part. Hopefully I'm not tempting fate.

Women can be so very pretty. This morning I talked to a lovely girl at the bus stop, her hair black ringlets, her skin golden and smooth, and her shoes composed of silver sequined straps that glittered on her feet. Her bag was silver sequins too, and I usually could care less about handbags but the match was really cute, especially with her dress, which was black with a pattern of little white lozenges, a calmer version of sequins. My description sounds garish, but she was adorable; next time I'm making up OCs I shall remember her.

Via hitchhiker I learned a new term: Mudita, "rejoicing in others' good fortune." Which reminds me once again that one of these days I should really learn something about Buddhism in a sensible and organized manner, and also makes me wonder how one might use this in an English-language sentence.

I had something else to babble about, but I forgot it, so let me finish with INFINITE OREGANO: "Cooking with the Dungeons & Dragons Crowd". *giggle*

Here's hoping my mental skies stay sunny.

Let o = happiness of others
Let s = happiness of self

o --> s: mudita
!o --> s: schadenfreude
o --> !s: envy
!o -->!s: empathy

Words are lovely, as are you.

Thank you kindly. I think it's a symptom of not getting enough sleep, but I'm strangely at peace with that.
