Sorrow: Working on the first of the month sucks... I mean, I still had a good day at work, but it was non stop busy until around 8 tonight.

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Thu Feb 02, 2012 1:40 am

Sorrow: Exhausted

Joy: Edguy tonight!

Sorrow: this is the most unorganised trip to Manchester ever, and I still don't know where the club academy is

Joy:Just officially accepted the offer to pledge at the frat.

Joy:I can probably get my mom to cover part of the cost.

Sorrow: Well, I never thought I'd live to see the day when I said this....

I think I'm underweight.

Joy:
I went to Longhorn's with Mom and it took a while for our stakes to get to the table, but when they finally came, the manager came out and told us that he was sorry for the wait and he would take care of our dinner.
We got two stakes, salads, and sides, FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!

Sorrow: Sick... not feeling good at all. Head hurts.

this joy is like the antithesis of this sorrow.

Joy: 8/8 heroic Dragon Soul. Done with this tier. rank 26 US, rank 77 world for 25 man guilds. We're so good.

Bad loot though.

Joy: I gave to charity

Sorrow: I don't feel good about it. It's hard to explain. Somebody walked up to me smiling with a clipboard. She didn't speak, and I noticed the paper on the clipboard said mute. Scanning it, it looked like some sort of petition. After signing my name, and other short details, I notice there was a 'donation' column. since I was already there, by my own ignorance, I wrote £1 and gave her the money. That'd be all right and dandy, but then (with the same smile) she point to the signature above mine and tries to say what I think was "15". I'm not tight, but I didn't even have that much on me. When I said the I couldn't, she seemed to say "5". Ultimately, I gave her £2 more. Long story short, I felt kinda scammed, even though I was cheap to begin. (Worth thinking, I donated about $5)

Neutral: I have no idea if I did a good deed or not.

Donating generally feels good if you were the one who did it, not others telling you, true. =S

Ah, yes, the Chuggers (Charity Muggers). They seem to swarm my city, they try to squeeze every penny they can out of people, and they use all kinds of tactics to make their targets feel bad about not contributing or not contributing enough. Those people are actually hired by private companies on behalf of charities to get donations out of people on a grass roots level, what those "charity collectors" don't tell you is that the private companies take a percentage of the donations for "expenses" before giving the rest to the charity they were collecting for. A sleazy way of making money, it would be best to avoid them and donate directly to the charity rather than giving your money to those collectors, tell that to them to next time they stop you and don't feel bad about turning them away. Your donations go to private hands before anywhere else when you give them to those collectors.

Joy: Finally some proper snow! Woohoo!

Alastair · Post by **Alastair** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:13 am

SORROW: I need to stop being so sensitive and wearing my heart on my sleeve... I'm a very emotional person, and am not one to bottle up my feelings. I need to work on controlling my emotions.
SORROW: I also expect too much of myself, and it bothers me a lot when I don't succeed at something.

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:28 am

Joy: It is /has been snowing a bunch today and its cold as crap! Woo!

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:32 am

Joy: It is expected to snow all day today and tomorrow!
The snow is piling up slowly but surely

Coatl_Ruu · Post by **Coatl_Ruu** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:37 pm

Irritation: There is no snow here. What the carp is this. :/

I almost got caught by one of those a couple years ago in Paris.
Sorry to say it but you probably got scammed.

Joy:I was gonna have a stay in friday night but I've been rescued from that!!! Off to the frat house!!!
sorrow:had to cancel my plans with my friend that was going to come over and hang.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 2:24 am

Joy: I got a job! Even though it's a really cruddy job. :/
Sorrow: Can't start until my backround check goes though, which will take a week or two.
Joy: Got to see Chronicle tonight.
Sorrow: I'm really missing a friend right now.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 3:05 am

Sorrow:Have taken up the habit of smoking cigarettes

Joy: I only have like one a day.

Sat Feb 04, 2012 3:28 am

still not a great habit. I would suggest quitting before you go up to a pack a day.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 3:34 am

I'll probably stop when hockey starts in like a month.
I'm already a slow skater, dont need messed up lungs on top of it.

Sat Feb 04, 2012 4:32 am

from what I understand, it's kinda hard to quit smoking. better plan ahead an try to stop now if you want to be in good health in a month.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:16 am

Yeah but I'm young and arrogant so I'll just keep acting as if I'm going to be the exception to the rule.

Sat Feb 04, 2012 3:15 pm

are you also the one person immune to cancer? because that can happen even years after quitting. my Grandpa quit before I was born, but 17 years later had to have surgery to remove the cancerous cells from his lungs.
though that may have been unrelated at that point. Still,

ReCreate · Post by **ReCreate** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 6:38 pm

Joy: Finally finished moving things after 3 days of nearly constantly running around doing so. Some time to relax now.

Nope, I'm very aware of the health risks. But like I said, young and arrogant.

Joy:Had fun hanging out with my nerdy friends tonight.
Sorrow:I promised myself I wouldn't spend any money and I did.

Joy - I'm going on holiday 2 days earlier than expected

Sorrow - Just had to rain a couple of hours after I put clothes on the line, will be likely wet tomorrow and I want enough clean clothes to go on holiday with...

Cm4F · Post by **Cm4F** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 2:26 pm

Sorrow: For one of my exams, I am having to write a 13 page term paper on Molecular Dynamic Simulations used in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The 13 pages are not including the Title Page, Abstract, or the Reference Sheet :p

KalloonWhite · Post by **KalloonWhite** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 3:04 pm

Sorrow: I won't be able to get the new video game I want because I have to go to the doctor cause my teachers think I might have a sleeping problem!

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 10:56 pm

Joy: Today was another beautiful day, I got to spend most of it at the beach.

Sorrow: people keep asking me if I'm gay and it's really aggravating me
I mean yes its true but I really don't feel like talking about it

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 12:49 pm

"Who cares?"

Then you stop talking about it.

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 12:52 pm

People will keep asking
And if you don't answer then the rumors will begin
Then my cousins will know and in turn my whole family
And I really don't wanna be disowned at 15.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:10 pm

Then if you really don't want them to know, just say you're not.

ReCreate · Post by **ReCreate** » Mon Feb 06, 2012 2:18 pm

Welp. That is indeed a bit difficult to handle. I guess the best solution is to tell them otherwise. Though, My family has known for a while, I seriously thought that I was going to be disowned too, But with the long scenario I won't explain here x3 It ended up with just about nothing really changing, Due to them denying it, and me simply not bugging them on it. Perhaps the same could happen with you. *shrug* Regardless, Good luck with that. I know how difficult that is in some families. *hugs*
