Sorrow: only two people have given me feedback on it so far.

I can offer brief, brutal, unyielding crits if you want. You get bonus points if there's no unnatural shipping, Mary or Gary Stus or shoehorned angst, grimdark or political views.

well what do you mean by unnatural? I don't mess with relationships that are explored within the comic. and Fox and king are definitely just friends in the comic in my opinion, if that's what you were worried about.

Unnatural to me:Relationships that are not at all viable, or only viable within a fanfic writer's mind. Such as any humans/pet, etc. And good for you.

joy:U.S. has officially ended military action in Iraq,
(I'm not sure how I feel about this and this isn't the forum to discuss it, but my best friend is in the Marines so my joy is simply out of consideration for his safety)

Had my last final this morning and I'm pretty sure I killed it!

Got my final paper back from my professor after the class, got a 3.5 on it

Sorrow:7 5 hr shift tonight, I misread my schedule, still sucks though.

Joy: I get to talk to my mate soon!! :3

Joy I haven't really thought of posting: I got a mate! :3

Joy: My friend whom I posted about yesterday is doing very well, and we were joking around and laughing in study hall!

Sorrow: We got in trouble in study hall.

Joy: IT WAS WORTH IT. I got to be sure that she's doing well, and it totally brightened my day!

Joy:My drawings are getting better and better
Sorrow: I can't show you guys
Not sure if anger or sorrow: if my step dad says one more insult to me, you better believe fists will be flying. Hopefully wont come to that, but I'm ready if it does
... Joy: exams almost over
Joy: my friend isn't as annoying as before
Sorrow: constant screaming children!

Joy: My laptop's fixed! It was having overheating problems, but a cleaning of the heatsink fixed that right up.

Sorrow: I was writing a chapter of my fanfic last night, but my computer did some system updates while I was sleeping, and restarted it without saving my progress. There wasn't much written anyway, but still.

Mettlebird · Post by **Mettlebird** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 6:56 pm

Sorrow: I'm probably not going to be able to talk to my mate tomorrow... :c

Joy: We cuddled for a good while tonight! :3

Sorrow: They had to leave already... :c

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 7:27 pm

SORROW: My stepdad is a total jerk

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 7:46 pm

YOU GUYS.

This is a rather personal thread, so if someone does not provide information, you do not push them to reveal it. Let privacy be privacy.

That also goes to anyone who happened to learn any secrets about any of our members just now. Keep it to yourself, and apologize to that member in private. It would probably help him or her inventory who heard and who didn't.

That is all.

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 7:54 pm

... Sorrow: that whole fiasco earlier
Joy: adventure time!
Joy: I am getting amazingly better at drawing

Mettlebird · Post by **Mettlebird** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 8:27 pm

Sorrow: There's a wild rain and windstorm going on at my house!! I have three VERY large pine trees all perfectly situated to fall on the house and do severe damage. YAY! *giggles* If they could withstand the gale-force winds we had a while back, then they can handle these very high-winds!

Sorrow: Splitting headache for the fourth day in a row...

Sorry your stepdad is doing that.

But be careful you don't lose the moral high ground by letting FISTS fly....

Sorrow: the one gift I really wanted to give my fiancee is unavailable at nearly every website I check, and it's overpriced at others

Joy: I have a few more ideas I get to shop around for next week!

Sorrow: my fiancee will be spending Christmas with her family and I will be left at home for the week to work

Joy: I'll be making plenty of money in the meantime to enjoy myself and pay bills and student loans

Mettlebird · Post by **Mettlebird** » Fri Dec 16, 2011 3:50 pm

Joy: My friend has finally stopped calling me un-American and accepting me for being a furry and my other 'flaws' as he calls them. xP He doesn't like things that are different. *giggles* I'm certainly no exception to being 'American.' He thinks that I have so many things 'wrong' with me. *laughs*

So you had one of those days too. Just know that you're not alone in the "male parental unit is awful" department.

I am so freaking annoyed: My car privileges got revoked for a week because someone has anger management problems.
JOY: I have the best friends friends and boyfriend any girl could ask for. Even though it's not their place to make up for the fact that I have an overgrown child as a father, all the plans I made for this week are still on. I have so much love for them right now.

Nurematsu Zenpaw · Post by **Nurematsu Zenpaw** » Fri Dec 16, 2011 5:05 pm

Sorrow: Some customer (who I would really like to call a number of colorful words) yelled at me over the phone at work. Very irrational...

Joy: I bought an OttLite lamp at a great discount! Now I should be able to take decent pictures of my sketchbook in good lighting

Sorry you all have to put up with such problems, I wish you didn't have to.

But like it or lump it, you can't change other people--and whether you find it easy or difficult to get along with your father, he is still your father. We have to remember that other people are suffering too, and so we need to do what we can to help them--to do whatever it is we want done to us, to set the example if they're not doing it themselves.

Mettlebird · Post by **Mettlebird** » Fri Dec 16, 2011 6:28 pm

Sorrow: It's been less than three hours and I already miss my mate really bad. :c

Joy: I have Monday to look forward-wait...NYYEEEHHH!

Sorrow: I'm actually looking forward to Monday.

Sorrow: I feel oddly lonely. None of my friends are able to talk, so I feel lonely from that tacked onto my missing my mate.

Joy: There's a chance I might be able to talk to my mate over the weekend... a chance, and not much else. But it's still a chance!

Sorrow: I'm probably going to get my hopes up super high then get disappointed. They said that they most likely not, but I'm still hoping. *shrugs*

Joy: My friend gave me a game for Christmas!

He gave me 'Link's Crossbow Training,' just because he knows I love the Legend of Zelda. :3

Joy: Me and my friend Jilly had a period off together, where we could play games and stuff, and we were playing checkers like total goofballs! We were going 'Shtaaaahp it!' to each other, (inside joke, you won't get it,) going 'NO!' in a whiny little kid's voice when we said 'king me' to each other, and towards the end of the game, we were doing the same moves repeatedly and fake arguing 'cause we weren't getting anywhere, then I just jumped my piece across the board and exclaimed 'I WIN!' ...it was my last piece, and I put it right next to one of hers, and she jumped it. xP

Mettlebird · Post by **Mettlebird** » Fri Dec 16, 2011 8:02 pm

Joy: I just remembered my teacher called my friend Jilly a weenie a few days ago. xP

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:34 pm

Sorrow: I have had this rather bothersome cough for the past 3 days, it is becoming increasingly heavy and more frequent, but oddly enough, less painful as time goes on.
Joy: My Dad's mom is here.
Sorrow: I can go nowhere near her, lest I get her ill.
Sorrow: Dofus is acting up again, still having the worst customer support ever.
Sorrow: This constant illness has left me feeling drained and tired, and I also can not seem to be not bored. :<
Joy: 311 Flea Market tomorrow, unless it rains. Hope we find some more spiffy games and cute Squirrel Figurines.

Joy: Mom's 50th birthday party is today!

Sorrow: I didn't sleep well last night.

Sorrow: I was having a really good dream, then I woke up.

Joy: My kitty was cuddling with me for over an hour this morning. :3

Sorrow: I still miss my mate. Well, it's kinda obvious that I would. But still, I miss them...

Joy: I have Monday to look forward to, so I can talk to my mate!

Sorrow: I'm looking forward to a Monday.

Sorrow: Starting to get a migraine.

Joy: I can take some of the pain meds they gave me for my shoulder for my head. Regular strength ibuprofen doesn't work for migraines. But 600 milligrams of it does! xP

Joy: I get to see a bunch of my family at my mom's party today!

yehoshua · Post by **yehoshua** » Sat Dec 17, 2011 10:38 am

Sorrow: my mother chases me even in my dreams now.
Sorrow: last night, I dreamt that my mother was questioning my responsibility and she took away my iPad... I really need that vacation.

Joy: I am the only one on the forum that uses this orange.

Making me irate: My idiot (ex)dad is harping on me about the **** child support, and being such a huge an incredibly interesting anecdote that I am completely ready to rip him a new one. If he doesn't shut the cuss up in a little while I'm going to flip.
