Joys And Sorrows

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 6:04 pm

Kurowolfe, I know parents usually try to look out for your best interests, and a lot of times they may be right when it comes to stuff, but here is the biggest piece of advice that I think someone can follow:

Do what makes YOU happy. Do what you won't regret years from now. If you always do what people tell you to, you WILL be miserable for the rest of your life. The reason I'm not in college now is because that's not what I want to do. I want to join the military, then get a degree later when I need one.

You seem to have a handle on the situation right now and have the ability to make the choice that you know you'll be happier with. Don't do something just because your parents told you to or you want them to stop bothering you. Do it because it's the best choice for you. That's my advice.

Sorrow: It is so warm here. I mean it is January and we have up to 13 or 15°C outside. I could even wear a T-Shirt (if it wouldn't rain so much...).

Would you guys mind to send some of your coldness to Europe?

Sorrow: I got NOTHING going on now. Like, I keep trying to IM with some friends on Skype, but they either ignore me or randomly disappear, leading me to believe they weren't at their computer to begin with when I sent the message.

I have nothing I'm excited to proofread right now.

Nothing I'm in the mood to write.

I'm all caught up on YouTube with everything that I follow.

I seriously have nothing to do but sit here and complain about my lack of stuff to do on a forum for my favorite webcomic, except I don't even talk about the webcomic on said forum because I hate how people get so darn serious about it.

About the only other place I'd post on this forum is the MLP thread but even then I don't want to for reasons I probably shouldn't state here.

Joy: I just changed my town tune in New Leaf to Saria's Song! So proud of myself.

Dootdootdoot dootdootdoot dootdootdootdootdoot, dootdootdootdootdoo.

Would you like to Talk to Saria and/or Navi?
I wanted to make the song of time but its just too long to make it a time, So I settled on the Prelude of light.

Oh my Dog, I read that to the tune of the song.

Sorrow: I accidentally told my teacher that one of my friends were agnostics. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but when my teacher started talking about it well... I don't know. He's not mad at me anymore, but I feel guilty knowing what I just did.
Joy: I got to give 5 hugs today. I'm trying to do it every day to keep me not depressed. It really helps.

Joy: Had another awesome Skype call yesterday.

Sorrow: Waited over 30 minutes for a taxi and was almost late to school.

Joy?: Seemed like my parents accepted my proposal to take a break. My mum woke me up at 5am the next day to tell me that she's ok with it as long as I keep my end of the bargain, and my dad consented as well. Still need to head back to college for a while to really confirm the arrangements.

Again, thanks for the advice, both here and via PM.

Hey, that's good to hear, kurowolfe.

Sorrow: I was reminded of how awesome it is to drive down icy hills today. I slammed against a curb pretty hard and bent the axle on my car. Then I waited on the tow guy for 4 hours to arrive.
Joy. Didn't break the CV axle, so I was able to ease my car off the road.
Sorrow: It's going to be an expensive fix.

Foxstar · Post by **Foxstar** » Sat Jan 11, 2014 11:19 am

Sorrow, had to make some charges to a card that I just had completely paid off. I hate when stuff like this happens.

Joy:At least I'll get the money back I hope and be able to pay the card off again.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sat Jan 11, 2014 2:05 pm

Sorrow: My phone just got really stupid and I just had to factory reset it. Upon doing this, it seems I can no longer access anything I have on my SD card because of some encryption stuff. It's not bad enough I have to set my phone back to new and load everything back, but now I can't access all of the pictures and stuff I had on my SD card? What kind of interesting banana is that? I have my backgrounds and stuff on that. This has just... *Tries not to kill someone right now*

Put the SD card into a PC and use a data recovery program(I recommend Recuva).

Sorrow: Just missed my best friend.

ShadowLightning · Post by **ShadowLightning** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 7:07 am

Sorrow/Guilt: I've done something bad that might end up ruining my friend's life.

Even apologizing doesn't seem to help since doesn't even care what I say to him anymore...

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 7:12 am

If you want to talk about it feel free to PM me Shadow.

Sorrow: I feel like I need more friends.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 4:09 pm

Sorrow: I was informed that one of my old friends has been missing for several months.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 5:18 pm

Oh no! That's really awful.

*hugs you*

Joy/Sorrow/????: My friends have found out that I'm gay. Well, I told most of them, but the others just found out on their own. At this rate, my entire class will find out by tomorrow. On one hand, I'm a little happy and relieved that they know and are okay with it. BUT on the OTHER hand, once they all know, it's only a matter of time before the teachers hear about it. And when they find out, they'll call my parents. And then they'll know.
I feel so conflicted about this... again.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Tue Jan 14, 2014 5:41 am

Sorta natural that you would be worried about other peoples opinions, but you shouldnt really care. you can live life as you choose to, and the opinion of other people have of your choice should mean very little at best.

I'm a little confused now. That's something that needs to reported to the parents? Do they also call the parents if they notice straight people?!
Sometimes I really don't understand mankind.

ShadowLightning · Post by **ShadowLightning** » Tue Jan 14, 2014 6:09 am

Okay, I think I was exaggerating a little. But we're gonna have a Parent-Teacher thing happening this Friday, and I just KNOW this sort of thing will come up. Especially with how much my mom wants to know what I've been up to at school.

Post by **Render** » Tue Jan 14, 2014 6:25 am

Ah Okay, I see what you mean.
Maybe you could tell them before. But I expect that not an easy step.

You can't be serious.

I can't believe your school would do that. Sounds just plain wrong in my eyes...

Anyway, same thing happened to me when I came out. Spread like wild fire across the school. Thing is, all the teachers still thought I was straight (to the point of when I went to meet a female classmate, one of them suggested we were together). Maybe things are different in England, like how teachers wouldn't tell parents things totally unrelated to studies, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Why would the teacher bring it up? She really doesn't have a reason to.

You have some really nosy teachers. Hopefully they don't have the nerve to highlight it like it's a problem at all, let alone even mention it.

Joy: A friend from work is helping me out with transportation until my car is repaired.

Sorrow: Due to complications, we won't be getting home until tommorow.

Joy: on the bright side, we get a hotel suite almost for free.

Joy: The Barnes and Noble by my work looks very similar to the Borders that I used to love going to near my house. It feels almost just like it, which is really nostalgic and nice. ^_^

Meh: It turned out that the subject that I thought was not offered this semester was actually being offered on a special-case basis. And everyone, the Head of Department, my parents, the councilor and my supervisor wants me to take it and complete my studies by this semester.

To be honest, I don't mind being able to continue on, and I would love to get out of this prison called university alive and well, but I had been looking forward for the supposed 4-months break.

Sorrow: I got talked into buying a life insurance plan over the phone. I had wanted to get this, but only when I started working later on, not when I'm still having to ask for money from my parents.

Sorrow: All in all, I guess I'm just a pushover in terms of getting talked over by everyone around me. Maybe it's for the best, but it does kinda suck that I am basically a yes-man or something like that. Reminds me of my apparent naivete: anyone can turn me into either a holy saint or the worst of criminal murderers, they just have to convince me, and my apparent self-will is very weak. Heh... this sucks...

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Wed Jan 15, 2014 4:42 am

Sorrow: No work for the rest of the week.... Gotta deal with an extra hour of nothing.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Wed Jan 15, 2014 6:29 am

Thats better than me, all my free time has been taken up by teachers trying to talk to me and I have gotten very little work done as a result.

When you're like me, free time is more of a curse then a blessing.

Sorrow: My friend wants me to get help for my problem but is worried that if I do, I won't be able to visit him. At the same time, he doesn't want me to suffer for half a year. It's quite a conundrum.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Wed Jan 15, 2014 7:59 am

Is your problem your wrist? If it is there isnt much I can do about that to help. (unless I become a Chiropractor and fly to New York...) Well either way you will have to fix it, and if your suffering constantly wouldnt that limit what you could do when you do see your friend?
