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?

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?

[–] JayJLeas@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.
