Joys And Sorrows

Sorrow: I was woken up from a very happy dream this morning by my boss calling to inform me that I was not working nights the rest of the week and had to be at work 7 in the morning. This meant I had to try and stay awake after begin up all night.

Joy: I ate out at longhorns last night and it was awesome. Nothing like a nice 22 oz. steak with vegies and mac and cheese, stuff mushrooms and blackberry tea and a slice of cheese cake to follow it up.

Sorrow: new school year having hard time making friends

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 6:26 pm

Joy: This is a really friendly place where there are friends to be made!

Sorrow: I stayed up 150 minutes too late because I forgot school started on a Tuesday and I don't have my (later) Monday classes.

Sorrow: Been really mad lately. People are stupid. Their reasonings behind the things they do are stupid.

Joy: I have amazing friends whom can take my mind off of things and calm me down, not letting me stew in my thoughts. I am so very grateful to have them...

If you really believed that you wouldn't be posting it here, you'd have tried to end it.

The fact that you haven't should tell you something....

Well that isn't to say that you can't make it a fun ride, but it really isn't too great when you look at it as a whole.

Well, I'll have to strongly disagree. If you're alive enough to complain about it, I'd say you have it pretty good.

That's much too optomistic for my taste but whatever works for you.

All of it.

That's my sorrow for this thread, that people buy into this baloney.

Yes, please dismiss me as a piece of meat.

No matter how bad your life is, if you're alive you're winning in life!

Joy: I wouldn't trade my nihilism for anything despite the obvious downsides of having such a worldview.

Unsure: Having mixed feelings. Not sure what to feel or how to react to this.
Sorrow: I lack a future. Worried about what will happen later.

That made me laugh a lot

Sorrow: My friend has been hating on me for...stuff. He flips out if you mention something that is distantly related to something that is somewhat related to being on the fringes of something that mildly has to do with it. In an indirect way, and when it comes up he goes "NEEEEEEHHH" and covers his ears.

Joy: Sold my PSP (that i didn't need anymore) and now i'm going to buy a pair of Sennheiser HD202 II headphones! Buying from newegg, estimated date of arrival is early next week. ^^ Also getting my TabletPC and desktop repaired very soon! Yay. I've been waiting many months for these things.

Sorrow: Having reoccurring dreams about things of my past, that I rather not be reminded of.

Alastair · Post by **Alastair** » Wed Jan 18, 2012 4:11 pm

Anger/Sorrow: My cousin thinks Houspets is lame...

She says it's not funny enough, even when there is plenty of humor in every strip...... GAAAAHHH!!! Y U NO LIKE HOUSEPETS!?!?

Seriously.... What's not to like?....

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Wed Jan 18, 2012 5:31 pm

Only thing I don't like about Housepets! is the adventures of Spot. I don't know, I just never liked these parts. The idea is nice and all, but its sort of annoying.

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Wed Jan 18, 2012 5:43 pm

I don't find the comic that funny either... but that's mostly because I'm uncultured and stupid. Spot comics are definitely annoying and feel like fillers to me.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Wed Jan 18, 2012 5:49 pm

Joy: My week is essentially over, sort of.
"Sorrow": By sort of, I mean I have a lot of places to be for the next couple days.

Because people have different senses of humor. Case in (and?) point: I love Spot. Spot comics are often my favorite (this one especially); I love the flavor and delivery of the jokes. But obviously, not everyone does. There are plenty of well crafted comedies that some don't like because it doesn't tap into their sense of humor.

Of any reasons one might have dislike Housepets, saying you don't think it's funny is certainly of the more reasonable.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Wed Jan 18, 2012 5:55 pm

Joy: I don't have midterms tomorrow, so I don't need to go to school. Foolish mortals.

I know in my previous post I said that there was plenty of humor in every strip... What I should have said was that Housepets has "frequent" humor in it... I think that the comic overall is pretty funny, though... I guess my cousins sense of humor is a bit different than mine. We've always been alike with our personalities though... I still wouldn't say that a comic is lame just because it wasn't funny.

Slight Anger: I told my friend how he was upsetting me and hurting me with his constant hating, and he's said nothing. If only there was an ignore list in real life, like there is on some games. Then I wouldn't have to hear his hating. >.<

You know, it's just a webcomic, however much you love or hate it. It isn't worth getting this upset over.

Is anyone buying that claim? Because I'm not. If you were uncultured and stupid, you wouldn't know it enough to say you were.

If he's said nothing, maybe no news is good news, at least for now....

Sorrow - I will be 20 this year...

Joy - But a comforting thought is that I will have to relive my life (from birth to today) four times over before I approach my grave. It's a little morbid but I will look on the bright side of it.

KalloonWhite · Post by **KalloonWhite** » Thu Jan 19, 2012 10:59 am

Good to have you back!

Joy: Decided to finally start working on my Housepets story again... I'm on chapter 5 right now.
Sorrow:It's been like 4 months and I lost what ideas I had for the following chapters...

Sorrow | I feel sick

I've always had a problem with acne, but it's not black heads that I have to deal with. The majority of it is cystic.

I have to take 1000mg of ampicillin every day to expedite the process at which it goes away, but some days it makes me feel like I have the flu.
I know this isn't a doctor thread, but does anyone have any advice?

I know what you mean I just turned 19 and it's pretty terrifying.
It's like once you pass 18 you really feel like the whole highschool/childhood thing is gone and you're actually aging

Even scarier that there really aren't any milestone left after 21
at that point you're just aging......
*shudders*

Have you tried Proactive or OXY? They also make special acne soap.

Sorrow: I want to go visit my family in Indiana, but I don't know exactly when I'll have the chance. If I could get a weekend off of work that'd be great. Otherwise, I'll ask for some time off.

Sorrow: It'll get below freezing and I don't see any snow. >:V
Joy: I'm happy to have my mate.
Joy/Sorrow: Most of my classmates in high school are jerks, but they're hilarious too. Makes art class so much more tolerable. |D
Joy: I got caught up on all of my work, so I'm free to be here again!
