Good Day to All

This is the Joys and Sorrows thread, since this forum often involves people making "updates", as it were, about their lives I thought that this particular thread would thrive.
So this is what you do; just write some particular development in your life (which can be as trivil or serious as you wish), then at the top rank it as a Joy or Sorrow to indicate whether its a positive or negative development, then post.
And it goes without saying to follow the forum rules, and make sure you use your common sense when posting on this thread (meaning don't post anything you would rather not let anyone know about).
So, since this is my thread, I will start:

Joy

I keep getting good marks in my tests and essay papers which on average is a B, I just need to be able to get this or higher in the exams, I do badly in exams.

One final note/plea: If you comment on someones Joy or Sorrow then please try to keep your comments positive.

MOD EDIT: Vague joys and especially sorrows are not allowed. "Joy: my life is awesome!" and especially "Sorrow: everything sucks..." are discouraged. Please elaborate on why you're happy or sad and we're all good. :3

ill bite.

sorrow

i got a 66% on my project :(

Joy

I passed the first nine weeks of AP US History with a 75.

Sorrow

Everyone is afraid of Calculus from my high school, so I'm the only one taking Calc 2 at college.

Joy

Soon the school begins, I get to see my classmates again and have something to do for most of the day!
(Sorrow, I have to get up early )

You know you don't have to just talk about school, you could talk about:
Romance
- People you fancy
- People you've gone off
- And any past, present, or future relationships
Friends and Foes
- New friends you've made
- Old friends you've lost
- Any particular rivals or foes
- And anything about the development of your relationship
Family
- Good family relations
- Bad family relations
- Or your own family (as in you, your partner, and children if any)
- And general family situations and events
Career
- Your current job
- Your next promotion or goal
- And any good or bad occurrences at work
Others
- Social gatherings
- Charity work or hobbies
- And anything else which is part of your development in life.

Sorrow:
I've been suffering with procrastination recently.

Joy:
I live such a blessed life that something that small can be treated as one of my biggest problems.

Joy

I weighed myself and my weight WITH clothes, WITH full belly and wet from shower is 75kg,
I think without all that it is like 71 or 72.

Sorrow

I have the same problem, I have had a lack of motivation recently and I can't seem to overcome it.

Sorrow

Yeah I lost my writing motivation

im supposed to be finishing my health project now :(

Joy

Last weekend I went to a family reunion. It was the first one I had been to in a while, and I got to see some relatives that I hadn't seen for a long time. I found out that the old guard is still alive and kicking.

Neutral territory:

It was at the ancestral burial grounds ( a church), so I visited a few family graves to pay my respects. It was a good experience for me; even if I didn't know them, they were still family.

Joy!

I finally got enough motivation to start on my 5th honors civics project.
An hour and a half of paper writing... thank God I'm almost done. (Then I get to type the bibliography and title page.... yaaaaay. >_< )

is it bad if you inherit money from a family member you never met (not even as a baby) and you dont feel very sorry at all? (i mean, just a little. its not like im jumping up and down saying "yay! shes dead!")

Joy

Sofa Wars is going so well for once. It's nice that one of my dreams is finally being realized after all the effort that's gone into it.

Joy

The tornado DIDN'T rip my house out of it's foundation =DD

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Texas weather.

Mine neither!

Sure, my house is nowhere near the tornado, but isn't that in itself enough to be joyous of?

this isnt exactly what i wanted...
>.>
<.<

Agreed.


yes! yes it is!

Oh and Joy

I got really close to my stuffed bunny today. I nearly hugged it to pieces trying not to freak out

Sorrow

Procrastination is #1 cause of dying children from self-made stress...Divorce/Marriage Arguments is #2.

Sorrow
I'm getting a schedule change in my classes.

Joy
Epic Yarn is epic.

Sorrow
My organic chemistry lab instructor decided that even though lab was canceled for two weeks, the online submission that's due before each class would be due last week even though there was no lab. I just now found that out after finishing it and trying to submit it.

Joy
Epic Yarn really is epic.

Sorrow:
I am procrastinating too much as well.

Joy:
I feel a lot better after procrastinating that much!

Sorrow:
I want to procrastinate even more... >_>

Neutral:
I have to write a 500 word essay for my scholarship application... But I have 3 weeks to spend!

sorrow
all this talk of procrastination makes me feel bad that i should be trying to finish my powerpoint.

Joy: All this talk of procrastination has motivated me to work on tracking down the Seg fault in my program
Joy x2: I found it!
(or at least the first one, here goes nothing . . . *tests again*)

My chances of survival have deceased massively then.

Sorrow

I suspect a girl at my college fancies me, I keep trying to tell myself its just my paranoia or my imagination but she keeps giving me looks and she has gotten distant from her boyfriend lately. I worry that something might happen at some point, which will mean a lot of problems since I have no interest in her.

SORROW !!!

I went to the theatre because I go invited to a performance called " Casimirus & Caroline". And I must say that I've wasted 2 hours of my life there! The actors were behaving like they were idiots and that wasn't making situations look funny. There was a lot of "extraordinary" epithets and I did not know what the entire plot was all about. There was a lot of daub in this performance. I sorrowfuly regret that I went there. It's my last time I went to this theatre, as long as they have their current director.

i allways giggle when someone says "fancies". but i any case i hope you get that worked out or you know whatever.

joy:
my silly little quiz thing seems to have goten mostly positive feedback so far.

@Psyke - Yes...I don't know what to do though...I just hope she goes off me real soon because I get rather unconfortable in class especially since I (unfortunately) sit next to her.

Sorrow

I got Joey as the Housepets character I am most like in Psyke's quiz

Joy

I hope that I will finally be getting rid of the pile of college work this week giving me the weekend off, plus me getting a new game that's coming out at the end of the week will feel more like a reward than just me being greedy.

Sorrow
-Everyone has a love life at a certain age.
-What quiz?

Joy
-I noticed that people become happy when they don't know what's wrong. Let's leave them that way, for they'll really be sad when they figure out what's wrong anyways (if they ever figure it out..), but at least they were happy.

look in the "the comic" forum.

Quoted because i'm the same way right now...-_-'

Sorrow:
I found out that I will be working on Halloween.
Eh, I guess I can deal with that.

sorrow:
the critter chased me around the haunted house, and i nearly killed my self trying to escape and hide, and i will be scared for life.
joy:

Sorrow: One plus one equals one in marriage... E|:(

Joy: One plus one with logic equals two in math! E|:D

Why not just go up to them and talk to them, they (that someone you want to talk to) will not get hints, and the like, because they will not know for certain that your interested in them. And maybe they might feel the same way about you.
