Joy: I got Season 2 and 3 of Startrek

Sorrow: My puppy chewed on the powercord for the DVD player

Joy: The power was off when my puppy chewed on the cord

Sun Jan 08, 2012 3:02 am

Joy: Just finished a good web comic recommended to me by one of Sleet's avatars.
Joy: I pretty much guessed one of the big twists of the ending within the first few chapters.

statement: I'm reading Homestuck now, but have a ways to go before I catch up.

Sorrow: I have to go back to college tomorrow and class starts on Monday.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Jan 08, 2012 4:57 am

Joy/Sorrow: Oh WOW, Chewy made me realize Friday night: I'm Marlin from "Finding Nemo"!!!

Horrifying sorrow: I had a nightmare this morning... it is still scaring me. (look in dream topic)

Joy: Going to Rachmaninoff concert :3

Sorrow: I took a fall last month and the nasty scrape that I got from it on my elbow hasn't healed up properly. Checking it today, it seems there might be a good chance that it is infected now, so I'm off to the doctor (most likely) today.

Sorrow: Seems my new PC doesn't like the security package I use. I don't really want to have to fork out more for another one and free anti-virus (even if I use multiple) would likely be insufficient protection.

Joy: Got around to reading the books my brother gave me for Christmas. Enjoyed them somewhat, no doubt I will read them again soon. Perhaps I should go read some of my older books but...

Sorrow: Sorta makes me wish I managed to purchase more books when I was younger. It makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong when I go to consider purchasing books meant mainly for teenagers or even children. Yeah, I'm a very indecisive being sometimes...

Nurematsu Zenpaw · Post by **Nurematsu Zenpaw** » Sun Jan 08, 2012 6:58 pm

Joy: I got to talk with one of my best friends from my home state for the first time in a long time!

Sorta Sorrow: It only lasted about 15 minutes... I was on my way to work when he called me. Wish it could have lasted longer

but I won't complain! It was nice all the same

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:10 pm

Joy:Finally Got my work schedule figured out

Joy:Got the shifts I wanted (monday and thursday night)

Superjoy:No more 6 A.M. shifts

Joy:Finally out of my parents house and away from my crazy sister (I know she's family but I honestly have nothing good to say about her)

sorrow:It's alot harder to hang out with my friends now that I'm back on campus.

Nurematsu Zenpaw · Post by **Nurematsu Zenpaw** » Sun Jan 08, 2012 8:53 pm

That's pretty cool, Seth! I do empathize with you about not being able to see your friends very often, but it'll be easy to cope :3

Hopefully, I'm making an effort to be less introverted and make some friends on campus, so that should help.

Sorrow: school tommarow

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Sun Jan 08, 2012 9:52 pm

Sorrowish Joy: School begins tomorrow. I am not all to worried about the first day, as I need to go to a class from 1 to 3. But Tuesday I need to BE at the school by 8, meaning I need to leave at 7:15 when the sun is low and I am tired. Dun feel safe.
The Joy part of it is that I finally have something to do. ^^;

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sun Jan 08, 2012 10:33 pm

zeldakeeper · Post by **zeldakeeper** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 7:15 pm

Actually I love the book XD I read it yesterday and I have read it a couple of times before.

I absolutely love writing about George and Lennie's bromance, however sometimes it's like writing slash fiction or something...

What about 1 day with something good happening? That's considerably less to ask for, and you'll have that to make you happy.

TensaZangetsu wrote:Sorrow: there is no such thing as happiness

Please don't give up.

There can be if you really want it.

might I ask who or do you want to save them from everyone bugging them for their real name?

TensaZangetsu wrote:Sorrow: there is no such thing as happiness

Perhaps there is and you have the wrong definition.
You'll never have a "perfect" life, you'll never be totally happy with yourself, and there will always be people who hurt you or let you down.
Life is a terible ugly thing, but we are all capable of carving out a little oasis in the midst of the filth.
You just have to figure out how to make your own happiness, none of us can give you the answer, maybe we can guide you, but you'll have to find it on your own.
But trust me, it can be done.
sorrow:one day into the semester and already well over 100 pages to read by wednesday

TensaZangetsu wrote:Sorrow: there is no such thing as happiness

Yes there is. I'm happy right now. Happiness does exist so go out and find it instead mopeing about on the forums feeling sorry for yourself and getting Chewy to spout fortune cookie paragraphs. There's worse things happening to other people you know. So do as the British do and keep a straight bottom lip and be awesome.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 6:26 am

Sorrow: I had to wake up at 6:00. So tired. ;-; Why school must you need me this early. D;

Cm4F · Post by **Cm4F** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:21 pm

Apparently it is the year of the Dragon (which I just found out)

I personally think dragons are awesome so I guess this counts as a Joy!

Woop Woop!!!

Joy:Left my bag on the bus, but I was able to get it back.
