Potentially odd question.

How common is it for you to experience a complete and utter feeling of peace and love, so intense it almost radiates? Like you're a flashlight which've been switched on, beaming those feelings out? Like you're in the midst of a column of warmth?

Not as common as I'd like. :)

But it's happened, mostly when I'm around people who I really connect with. I just have this feeling that everything is right with my life (in fact, I often think of this as the "My life is AWESOME" feeling) and it's a very profound happiness.

I really seriously hope I'm not editing the nice parts of my life out again, but I think I could probably count the number of times that's happened to me on one or two hands...

Shockingly frequently. Probably once or twice weekly.

Um, I can't really remember any time like that for me. o.o

Though I'm in a dreadfully bad mood tonight (demonstrated by the fact that it's 7:49 and I'm on LJ instead of at work) so I might just not be rememberizing.

Err, never.

Depends on what drug you're taking? :)

More seriously, I think it could be common if people could find a way to let it be common. I know there are times when I'm so angry I can feel that I'm a well of blackness that's just going to make everyone's day worse.

Humans are a social animal and moods are infectious, and recent science has suggested that your mood really can directly affect the mood of those around you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neurons

Hey

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

..., found your LJ while looking through abe_kroenen's flist for similar lulz (so far I discovered that hellboy anime has a LJ and that hp_funnyfest exist).

For me, who've been better, the answer is still never. Happy yes, giddy, I've felt that a plenty, influences free too. Peace and love? No. I think it's quite possible and healthy for people to lose themselves in a moment so peaceful and loving that they can forget for a moment the world around them, but I haven't yet.

i've had that happen a few times, mostly for just a fleeting moment when my partner says something really affirming or such, i love those moments and hope to have many in the future and i hope for many for you as well!

Once. For no apparent reason.

Uhm, yeah. I should probably work on that.

Whenever I IM with my friends. <3

I believe I speak for everyone when I say, "not often enough".

[masstreble.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I am uncluded in this "everyone"!

Not often enough. But it happened on Saturday, so I really can't complain. (I saw Jesse and Marie). Love isn't the right word to describe Saturday really, but certainly warmth and acceptance and peace.
