Joys And Sorrows

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sat Nov 29, 2014 12:39 pm

I went to see Mockingjay yesterday. I haven't read the books so I had no idea what it be like.
It was awful. Boring, little action, mostly talking, probably the biggest waste of time ever. I fell asleep for half of it and was still able to piece together what happened. It was awful.

It seems that was the norm as most people complained about there being little action on Rotten Tomatoes also.

Not really sure. My mother always has had stomach issues. If it wasn't a bowel obstruction, it was gastritis. Either way, whenever she has to repeatedly use the bathroom, I already know that she probably will have to go to the hospital.

Jeez, I hope they can find out some sort of fix for it or something.

Joy : Finished Trigun.

Okay, first time trying this, lets see here...

Sorrow: Coldcoldcold so cold, it's cold even with the heating on, poor insulation sucks.

Joy: Having a thermos with hot oolong tea to keep me company.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Nov 30, 2014 1:04 am

You aren't the only one, but so far nothing.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Sun Nov 30, 2014 9:08 am

Sorrow: I don't know what daylight is.
Joy: A friend helped me frame some of my old photography. Makes me want to go on shoots again.

Wolfy · Post by **Wolfy** » Sun Nov 30, 2014 9:37 am

Blue screen of death...poo.
Ah what can ya expect from a roughly 10 year old machine. Thank god for friends and their laptops. I think a friend has a XP startup disk somewhere which might have a chance of fixing it. Hope so.

Speaking of friends, I LOVE MY FRIEND (Not in THAT way!

)
He took me to town so I could have a oppurtunity to put my room money into my bank, so I can have SOMETHING in there to save up for my fursuit. Not only that he gave me fifty pounds of his to put in. THEN while he was browsing 24/7 games he bought me Alpha sapphire which was about 32 pounds with the black friday deal, and he bought us lunch and train tickets. He spent nearly a hundred on me that day. Not only that he has already bought me Guardians of the galaxy for christmas. You KNOW who your friends are, and he has always been my best, ever since we were kids. Course the highest reason is because he KNOWS just how god awful I have it here. So's he's trying to do what he can to help me. Planning an entire week (ish) long sleepover soon...again. WHOOT!

Also speaking of fursuits. IT IS NEARLY DONE! I'm desperatly trying to save up enough to get shipping (and customs) ready to be paid. I just need a few hundred more to be safe. Hopefully I can get some of mah old stuff sold to make some sort of dent in the amount. I did have a sponsor link to save up for that and being able to move out but it refuses to be posted anywhere. The url is really crap. Doesn't work 99/100 times.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Sun Nov 30, 2014 9:44 am

It would be awesome to see that fursuit when it's done, Wolfy. Sounds like you're really investing in it!

Sorry to hear about your computer (or OS) dying.

Joy: We put our Christmas tree up

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sun Nov 30, 2014 10:17 pm

Joy : I'm getting a small, personal Christmas tree to put up in my own room.
Joy : My jeep "runs". For about 5 minutes before the transmissions warms up and it starts to die. Needs a new battery, dimmer switch and gonna get some new door panels because the old ones look awful. Can't wait until I can get the money to turn it into my daily driver. This Escort really wears on me.
Joy : Reading Enders Game in my contemporary communications class, easy book, only had to read 5 chapters, 1-5, read from 1-9.
I have sorrows but I don't feel like they really amount to anything besides me complaining about senseless things that are easily remedied.

Cm4F · Post by **Cm4F** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 7:30 am

Joy: Just finalized my team for Omega Ruby.

Post by **ArcWolf** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 2:38 pm

Joy:

Taking Music theory next semester.

It should be a nice break from calc, chem and physics.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 3:11 pm

Sorrow : I am trying to get work done but these people sitting around me won't be quiet.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 5:44 pm

Joy: Decided to flip my school schedule around to early mornings instead of late evenings. My job makes it difficult to sleep at a normal time, but with this, I can be awake during most of the daylight hours. It'll be work at 3am, school at 8am and sleep at 6pm, rather than sleep at 9am and school at 5pm.
Joy: This also means I can join my friends from work in D&D when I'm free. We're all novices except for one, so it'll be a good way to get better.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:42 pm

Joy: Got my copy of Housepets! Book 5 in the mail today.

Radio Blue Heart · Post by **Radio Blue Heart** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 8:09 pm

Joy: I had a job interview for temporary work at a rest home. It will get me through the break at the university. I think it went well.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:24 pm

Joy: My car is driving great since I got it back Sunday!

Akagitsune · Post by **Akagitsune** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 1:35 pm

Sorrow #1: I haven't seen my boyfriend for almost 2 months now, and still have almost 6 to go...
And sorrow #2: I haven't had a good cappuccino since I left germany. I miss my parent's coffee machine...

But joy: My roommate invited me to spend christmas with her family, so I don't have to sit alone in my room over the holidays

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 9:52 pm

Sorrow: The last chapter before the final in my math class is the only other chapter I just don't get.
Joy: Still might come out with an A, depending on how much time I can allow for studying for the final. Plus, I feel ready for Calc.
I sense a study binge consuming the next two weeks.

Sansash · Post by **Sansash** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 10:11 pm

Joy: I'm on vacation! Spending the week in Orlando to visit the Harry Potter theme parks at Universal!
So far: Knockturn Alley is the awesome-est!

D3ath_0ps · Post by **D3ath_0ps** » Thu Dec 04, 2014 11:43 am

Joy: Eating Cheerios while I'm studying for finals and writing fan fiction... pretty good day so far...
Sorrow: I have to go to my 'Social Problems' class... I hat that class SO much...

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Thu Dec 04, 2014 12:06 pm

Joy : Got the form to drop from my psychology class. It's unnecessary for my graduation and is only an added stress for both me and my teacher.
Best joy : Paid my ticket, showed proof of insurance to negate that ticket and I didn't have to get out of school just to go to court.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Dec 04, 2014 10:21 pm

Sorrow: I have a massive headache and I tend to get headaches a lot.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Thu Dec 04, 2014 11:13 pm

Ew. I had a headache today too. I hope yours gets better. Drink water, sleep, take meds, etc. Hope it goes away soon.

D3ath_0ps · Post by **D3ath_0ps** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 6:32 am

Joy: Watching the 'Orion' test flight...
Sorrow: ... on NASA's livestream. I so wish I could be there...

Orion's test flight is the first phase for bringing Humans on the surface of the planet Mars, as well as possibly bringing insight on the possibility on bringing an asteroid into the Moon's orbit to do Human mining operations on the surface of that asteroid. Although, that is if EVERYTHING goes as planned (I have no doubts). So much science!

EDIT: JOY: After 4 Hours and 24 minutes, at 11:29 EST, Orion has splashed back down in the Pacific! YAY!

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 11:12 am

Sorrow: my two year old computer died on me. The first blue screen of death since I first built it.
Joy: I was able to get a pretty decent tablet\ 2in1 laptop thing that will do for now.
Joy: I got a 25 % off voucher for working thanksgiving and black Friday.

deepskycyan · Post by **deepskycyan** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 11:34 am

Joy: Watched Aladdin: The Musical today!
Sorrow(?): It wasn't that great. Oh well

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 11:35 am

I don't get it. Is the BSoD like the end all for your computer or what? I've bluescreened my rig before and nothing happened after I restarted it.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 11:57 am

Sorrow: It doesn't look like my friend Stan is going to be able to visit me for New Years.

His trip is dependent on him selling his Anubis costume. If any of you know of anyone who would be interested in buying it (perhaps as a Christmas present), I would ask you to direct them to it, if it's not too much to ask, please.
(Stan will be relisting it on eBay if it doesn't sell this time around)

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 1:49 pm

Oh dear. Trust me, if I had $700 I would more than likely not spend it on a suit. But, I wouldn't mind shoving money at him as a donation of some sort. If I had money.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 5:09 pm

Well the BSoD occurs when there is critical damage done to your computer so it means you would have to get a whole new computer. Sometimes its just something with an application, which is why restarting it from the switch may fix it.

Post by **Obbl** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 5:42 pm

To be more precise, a Blue Screen of Death occurs in machines running Windows when an exception is thrown in the OS which it believes cannot be recovered from, so it shuts down and prints the error out on a blue screen. (Linux has the Oops screen, and I don't know what Mac does). In current times, these should be quite rare occurrences and may be indicative of deeper issues (like my computer probably has an issue with the WiFi driver), but it may be a very random event that you will never run into again.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 11:14 pm

I believe that a kernel panic is the equivalent of a BSoD for Mac users, though I never really got them. I just had problems with the screen giving me a prohibitory sign.

Deske · Post by **Deske** » Sat Dec 06, 2014 12:27 am

"Critical Damage Detected: Run bsod.msi" Made me chuckle a bit. Personally I've never had a computer suffer such damage that it couldn't be recovered. I've had to reinstall the OS a few times, but backup files save me from lengthy redownloading processes.

it wouldn't have been the end all. but; it wont turn on, one time it did and wouldn't let me in. Saying something about a login system.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Dec 06, 2014 4:46 pm

That might have meant that the login system was wiped out.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 7:51 am

Sorrow: My grandfather was hospitalised today for management of the pain caused by his cancer. He's also beginning to hallucinate as it's gotten into his brain. I think he won't be with us much longer.

At least the morphine drip seems to be working.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 10:21 am

Joy: The review for exams enlightened me about the last math chapter, so I got this.
Joy: May be transferring to Uni as early as this (2015) summer!

Post by **ArcWolf** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 1:04 pm

...
Sorrow:...

Sorry guys. This one's... Kind of heavy.

An old, but still very close, friend of mine fell into a coma and died..

but uh... No one bothered telling me anything about him being sick
so I didn't get to say good-bye...

In fact, the only reason I found out about his passing
was a week old post on facebook that lightly mentioned it.

I'm this weird mixture of angry, sad and confused
and I really want to kick someone.

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Dec 09, 2014 1:22 pm

I'm sorry to hear that. Poke me if you need to talk.
