why i’m not waiting for Superman

why i’m not waiting for Superman

Can I tell you something, just between us? This song drives me crazy: It drives me crazy because it strikes a dissonant chord in my heart.  It resonates within my spirit, and stirs up things I don’t want to feel.  It reminds me that for oh! so long, I have been waiting for “Superman” to show…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 17): musical string theory, drum pants and friendship

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 17): musical string theory, drum pants and friendship

— 1 — Jen Fulweiler once joked about dividing her life into two epochs – before and after discovering the Guy On A Buffalo videos.  (Yeah, that was my fault… lol.)

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
