I Gotta Feeling…

**Warning: This website may contain language which leads you to believe I’m only talking to females. If you are a male…please DO NOT panic. Simply replace the feminine version of the word in question with the masculine version. For example: “she” could become “he”. You can do this…I have faith in you. Please do this only in your head. Because nothing will happen if you try to do it on the screen.**

girl in rain I Gotta Feeling...You know how sometimes you just know everything’s gonna be alright? You just sense that everything is falling into place and something good is about to happen at any moment? I have that feeling right now.

People keep asking me “what’s so funny?”, “what are you smiling about?”, and “what are you up to?”. They ask these questions while looking at me so suspiciously. I’m not falling for it this time, though. Because now I know it’s a trick.

Like that time when someone asked me and I smiled even bigger and said I just had a feeling some people would laugh at my last blog post. And she said, “I don’t understand what you write…it must be some kind of bad poetry.”

Or the time when someone asked me and I said I just had a feeling that the people I send secret messages to will find those messages on their own someday. And she said, “I seriously doubt it. Do you know how many websites there are in the world?”

Or when I said I was happy that I was getting more clients and I had a feeling I would soon be even busier. And he said, “Don’t get too excited. Eventually, you’re gonna get hit by this bad economy.”

I guess when my mom used to say she would wipe that smile right off my face, she was talking about something people actually do. All this time…I thought it was just some weird threat that we made fun of behind her back. Nope. Turns out some people really do try to literally wipe the smile right off your face. I guess happiness annoys some people.

But now that I know their evil trick…I have the strategic advantage. I shall keep the reasons for my smiles secret. No, listen…it’s such a brilliant plan! I will still smile. In fact…I will smile even more. And I’ll laugh like an idiot. And I’ll dance and sing around the house. And I’ll run out into the rain. And I’ll wish on stars. And I’ll go to Sonic at midnight to get some ice cream. And I’ll hang out with a few small people who think I’m the coolest thing ever. And I’ll play my music too loud.

It will drive them insane! Oh wait…even better plan! We’ll all do it! Every single one of us! Can you imagine how much that would irritate them? And there’s nothing they can do to stop it! Ha! I gotta feeling it will be THE BEST THING EVER!

“Yes, m’am we’ve got the style that’s wicked…hope you can all keep up…we climbed all the way from the bottom to the top, now we ain’t gettin’ nothin’ but love.” Gwen Stefani

    June 2009, love that song. I’m with you, I always know things are going to be alright, things could be crashing down at my feet, and my answer, my gut is always “we’ll be fine” I haven’t been wrong. As long as you have people in your life who love you, and you’re doing the right things, karma will smile on you. And if she doesn’t then, what are you going to learn from the cards she deals you? Because that will help to determine what she hands you in the future, learn it now, or do it over.

      To everyone else: You will be shocked to hear that the queen of all trivia is a WINNER again! I knew she was my kinda girl when she just came on over and claimed her throne! Love it!

      To Madge: Couldn’t have said it better myself!

      Somehow that doesn’t surprise me! ;)

    I definitely think you’re the coolest thing ever. And not just because you’re my Internet girlfriend. I’m glad Madge got the trivia question; I didn’t feel like Googling the BEPs

      Awww…that’s sweet. Plus, you put it in writing so I have evidence if I ever have to prove I’m the coolest thing ever.

    Jacqui, you are too cool for school. Don’t let negative people get into your head. Keep smiling. The truth is, having a sense of hope and a feeling that things are going to be good actually makes that happen!

    • http://chicktuition.com jacqui

      Very true. But just because you and I know the truth, doesn’t mean certain grouchy people do. So now I shall torment them will my laughter! They are welcome to join in anytime. :)

    What a damn great idea. Smile — it’ll drive the bastards crazy! And you’re so right about some people being complete joy-sucks. And Linda’s totally right. When it comes to energy, like attracts like. Someone told me “If you don’t feel the way you want, act the way you want to feel.” Someone else told me “Always smile first.”

    I like this post. For the first time all day I’m smiling! Thanks, girlfriend. :)

      I’m glad you’re smiling…you never know when they could be watching…

    Hi Jacqui,

    That is absolutely fabulous! You are an inspiration. My singing drives people insane anyway. Think nails against chalkboard meets howling cat. Thanks so much for swinging by my blog. I’ve been feeling shitty lately, so never responded to your really nice comment.

      I’m so glad you came by, Lauren! I’m not gonna win American Idol either…it’s the principle that counts, not the talent! Hope you are feeling better…
