Sorrow: Today is SilentPrincess's birthday.

She is a close friend of mine in real life, and I tried to find her today in the school to wish her a happy birthday in person on her actual birthday, but couldn't. When I couldn't find her by the end of the day, I was ready to kill someone if they spoke to me the wrong way. I was ticked off and disappointed. I know I can always wish her a happy birthday tomorrow, but it just won't be the same.

For that reason and the reason alone, today was a bad day. I don't care if I won the lottery, today is just a bad day because of that.

Can you call her and tell her?

No phone number. I sent her an E-mail like I said I would, but I also had something that I wanted to give her. It's a bracelet-type thing.

Although I got it with intention of giving it to her as a funny kind of thing (We have a joke between us about expensive cheap jewelry) it is kind of nice and because her birthday was on the second day of school, I wanted to give it to her then.

But stuff happened and I'm just so... AHHHHHHH!!

Is she the one people think you're dating but you aren't?
cause I can totally see why. Inside jokes, your day is bad only because you didn't see her.
Oh well, guess those apply to really close friends too :lol:

Actually, yes she is the one.

And it's not that I wouldn't be upset if I didn't see my other friends, but she is my only close friend that isn't in band. So we tend to hand out in the morning together, but I don't know where she is in the morning right now. And due to some stupid traffic stuff that went on, I was 5 minuets later to school that I would have normally been and didn't have time to look for her.

Joy: I had forgotten how much I love crash team racing! Only been a day and I have already surfed passed my sister's percentage score and trashed her fastest laps! And as a bonus I somehow managed to get a Platinum relic whoot!

Joy/embarrassed. My sister convinced me to record Clifford's really big movie. I watched it and liked it. I AM TOO OLD FOR MY BRAIN!

Sorrow: Once again I was stood up by my friend. He spent an entire week trying to convince Dan and me to go to his house last Saturday for a barbeque and what does he do? He cancels on us on the Friday night! I could have been round somewhere else but no I kept that day open just to make him happy. His reason, he couldn't be bothered to walk down to the shops to get food even though I said we would come with. This sort of thing is becoming a habit with him. Fine next time I will just say no, I have better things to do.

Sorrow: Dad has taken yet another week off of work. By my reckoning he has now gone over his holiday allowance by about three times and it isn't even September yet. I wonder how long it is until his boss gets annoyed and just fires him?

Joy: Came across another revelation. I have not had one in such a long time, I feared that I would no longer progress and develop but I should have known better than that.
Joy: The revelation removed a mental block. But exactly what it was blocking only time will tell.
Joy: I recently won a debate. It feels good to be right! :lol:
Joy: Things are going moderately well which is better than being moderately bad.
Sorrow: Tensions are running high at home. Being related to very stubborn and strong willed people can have some draw backs.
Major Joy: I am now better off than I have ever been!
Major Sorrow: My job is eating away all my time! I wish I relished in all the time I had when I was in college.

Joy: Happy to know Sleet is alright. :)

You are at University at your age? I thought students left school at 18 in the United States. Are you an advanced student?

it depends on when your birthday is. because his is after the beginning of the school year, it means he graduates high school in the first half of his 17th year and his first year of college is the second half of his 17th year and the first of his 18th.

I am sure my statement is true regardless of his age.

Added: Someone I have been talking to lately has failed to reply. I hope he's alright. :?

Hey, at least you don't have to stop because you're getting stressed out over something that you should love. If you can't some up with anything, we understand.

Sorrow: I should love band, but I'm getting stressed out over it. And the stress is getting to me.

Hopefully not too bad: I've had to resort to insufflating pure caffine and taking diet pills to stay awake enough to do work. Hopefully I can finish my work and get some sleep soon.
Joy: None of my teachers seem too stern.

Sorrow: Got told today that I failed professional exam. Had to wait two months for results. Could put the whole blame on archaic system responsible for constructing exams for phototechnician, but still It's my fault. I hate to work on photos in limited time, but still I shouldn't be that stressed then. Now my plans to find a job got complicated...

Joy: I made this post on Tumblr earlier today:
"Things happening today

A blue moon, a very rare occurrence.

The funeral of Niel Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon.

No wonder the moon is blue, its first human friend is dead."

and it's gotten nearly 300 notes (likes and reblogs) and is steadily climbing at an alarming rate.
I've never even gotten into the double digits before.

Sorrow: This'll only happen...
once in a blue moon.
(honestly, I'm only mentioning this for that joke)

Sorrow: I thought that having a few days off from school and band would help clear my head, but it hasn't really.

I don't know what to do. I don't really want to quit band, but if I stay it could end up being harmful to my mental state of health if the drumline doesn't get disciplined.

Sleet wrote:Make an anonymous complaint to the band director.
I'm not sure if that would help. He's pretty aware of everything. It's just... he want's us to discipline ourselves. But to do that, we have to already have a level of discipline. So if I complain, he'll tell everyone to discipline themselves, and they might for a day, but then the cycle will just start over again.

Oh well, I'm going to stop thinking about it for now. Going to the races.

Annoyance: I wish people would stop bothering me over the most trivial matters imaginable. Don't they have better things to do with their time?

Surprised: A particularly... vocal member of society came out of hiding today, it would seem. The last time I saw him he very nearly raised a lynching against himself, and I had not seen him after that before today. He should be far more careful with what he says publically since spouting that same particular world view he once did would make his life very difficult and lonely. Thankfully, he seemed civil but I still think he needs help (professional help).
