sorrow: I've learnt today that I really, really don't like those blood pressure reading machines. I want to call it a fear, since I spent a good 5-10 minutes trying to psyche myself up to use it...but in the end left without using it.

Whether or not I like them depends entirely on whether or not the term "sphygnomanometer," one of my favorite words ever, still describes them.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Heck, I've had a good past 6 or 7 days, so I think I should list some more of the things that I feel good about.
-I got some new Drill Bits. A full set of titanium ones for under $5. (Well, titanium coated. Full titanium would be nice, but I'm not even sure if they make such a drill bit.) For price comparison, a similar Dewalt set would cost between $15 and $20. And the bits in the one I got actually seem to be of comparable quality. It seems they tried to make up for the price difference some by giving them a cheap case, unlike the Dewalt bits that have a nice one. (Plus they were on some kind of major sale.)
-I recently got two more folding utility knives. Like, nice ones. I've wanted a few for a while now so that was good.
-Got a major job off of my to-do list today. I'm glad that it's finally done so I don't have to worry about it anymore.
-I also got paid for said job today as well. Money is always good.
-For said job I also finally got a nice brush for stains. Only I could get so excited over tools.
-Three days ago I went into a thrift store and found a really nice, heavy jacket that was my exact size. This jacket was easily worth $100 or so new, and I got it for $15. I don't think it was ever used much by its previous owner as I see no signs of wear on it either.
-Today I happened to find not just one, but two pairs of jeans that were my size at a different thrift store. You have to understand, it's not often my size come up in a thrift store. When they do, they usually get taken instantly. That makes 4 new pairs including the two others I got from a clearance rack at Walmart. I think I'm set for a while.
And that's it. Just been having a good time these past two weeks I guess.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Joy: Been really busy with choir, and it's fun being the arranger, trainer, manager and tenor at the same time. Learned a little bit more on music theory in the process too. And my depression problem's been pushed way back because of it.
Sorrow: I actually needed some help. A friend has just lost several family members over the course of the year with her cousin passing away yesterday, and she's really down in the dumps. What's the best advice that could be given to her at this time? I only told her that it's okay to grieve the lost of your loved ones, and she should find time for herself to reflect or even cry her heart out; but everyone has to go at one point, and she should be strong in the end for their sake, and the rest of her family members. But somehow I think it's not the right thing to say to someone who doesn't want to cry in front of everyone.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Joy: I feel like a great weight has been lifted off me. No particular reason why, I just do.
Joy: Someone thought it was a good idea to post pictures of Gabe Newell all over my school. Whoever did that deserves a medal. It just made my day seeing that in first period.
Somewhat of a sorrow: I have one D. In English. |C I always had a hard time in English though. Hopefully it'll go better this year because my teacher says there will be a lot of free-writing assignments. Last year we had one and I ACED it. 100/100. I'm so proud of that, in fact, that even a year after it was completed I still can't figure out how to top it. Usually pieces only last a couple months at the very best under me.
Joy: Otherwise, things are good in school.

Joy: I've dealed with all the tasks that I had due but one. Given that last one is history, and it's still 2 weeks before I have to turn the paper in,it's okay.
Sorrow: Well, I've put away PIN code from the bank card somewhere so I don't lose it. Guess what happened *facepalm*
Joy: While searching for the code, I've found some money that I put away, like, half a year ago, and it covers all the stipendy that I have on the card for two months

Re: Joys And Sorrows
JOOOOOOOY! Okay so first of all things were not going well. We had a lesson to start at 1:15. The vet arrived at 3:45. Then stood around for ten mins having a chat. So some muttered name calling and general hate words were sent his way for a while. Buuuut then things went underway and we got to witness the vet working on a couple of SCOTTISH WILDCATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG THEY ARE ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay yes so in terms of animals they rank in the highest level of pure evilness holding the record of being one of the only animals in existence to be un-tamable...BUT THEY ARE SO SWEET!
They had to catch them (which was a merry chase indeed) and then they anesthetised them and took blood samples and weighed them and gave them booster shots AND IT WAS SO SWEEET! They are giant Tabby cats and they are simply *scream of delight*. We were allowed into the pen when they were sleeping and they were sooooooo cuuuuute. I WANT ONE...however they would probably kill me so

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Sorrow, A friend of mine, and fellow Subaru enthusiast just purchased back the car he sold a year ago after putting his heart and soul into the build. He sold it for $2500 (It's not an extreme build, but it's really a loving one) He just bought it back for $150, with signs of serious neglect, including a hole the size of a tennis ball in the side of the motor.
Joy (I guess) I will probably be getting parts off of it as he pulls it apart before junking it.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
I bet that the guy who bought it actually drove it for a while but used the wrong gas, so the engine blew up and the guy never bothered to fix it.

This car has (had?) an EJ22E, one of the more indestructable engines out there. Our theory is that the kid ran it out of oil and didn't check it, just kept driving.Mickey the Luxray wrote:I bet that the guy who bought it actually drove it for a while but used the wrong gas, so the engine blew up and the guy never bothered to fix it.

Re: Joys And Sorrows
Sorrow: This week has been a complete, pardon my use of the word, hell for me. First of all, our weekend last week had to be cut short because we had classes on Saturday. Then, our computer broke down the day after. After that, we had exams. Halfway through exam week I started to feel ill and weak. And then after that, I had to stay in school late cause of cheer practice I've been forced to go to. AND THEN, I had to go through two of the most exhausting, grueling days of my entire life... that I can't really talk about much due to confidential reasons.
A little Joy: Our computer's fixed and I have the whole week off. At least that's good, right?
