Housepets!

Sorrow:I feel really... off lately. I don't think I'm particularly sad or stressed or anything. I just feel very out of sorts. This is really rough coming off such a good semester. I just want to get home and have a good conversation or two with some of my friends.

Joy: Financially, I'm in pretty good shape at the moment, which is good.

Sorrow: Someone I tried dating and stupidly gave up on is seeing someone else once I've started to try to get my paws wet seeing them again.

Joy: Flying to UK to see some relatives, then to Paris for a short vacation next week!

Small sorrow: May not have wifi for three weeks while abroad. Guess I'll have to catch up on Housepets when I return.

Sorrow: Haven't been coming back to this forum as much as I'd like.

Joys: Yesterday, I could say was one of the best days of my life.

I went to my very first gay pride parade, World Pride Toronto 2014. That same night, I came out to my parents.

Wow, a big step. Sounds like everything turned out great, though! Excellent!

As for me..

Joy: Won a couple of prizes at Godzilla Night in San Leandro, California, a fun event with a Godzilla themed band, a raffle, vendors, and a Godzilla movie.

Sorrow: I did not win the "Godzilla-themed ringtone" competition. 5 seconds of a song was better than what I brought to the table? Robbed, I tell you. I was robbed!

Joy: Germany won.
Sorrow: Germany won.

Congrats Yeshoua. Hope that works out for ya. I gotta do that one of these days


Sorrow:lack of creative output is lacking.

Joy:almost to "at the mountains of madness" in my horror anthology I'm reading.

Joy: My wood dragging days are over this year. No more wood smelly cat!

Joy: Moved into the room that could be my home for at least a whole year, and here's the internet speed that I get: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3598603574

Sorrow: Not much to do besides sleep nowadays.

joy: New computer, joined the forums, AND finished HTS.

Sorrow: The tropical storm of the east coast turned into a Hurricane.
Joy: It won't hit South Carolina too badly.

Sorrow: I have to work on the 4th of July.

Sorrow



Went to the gas station near my university.




I just realized how knee deep in the ghetto we are

Joy: Had my very first surfing lessons today... it was awesome!

Joy: got a new puppy

sorrow: not sure how easily our old dog's gonna get used to her being here.

Sorrow: I submitted my university application and am now faced with the fear of uncertainty. Its not a huge deal if I don't get accepted but I already have low academic self esteem.
Joy: I'm realizing that working less and cutting back on expenses makes everything better.
Joy: I had an awesome time with my friend visiting me last week.

Joy: Got more money! Now I can buy more games!

Joy:Close friend is helping me out income wise, now I can go see the doctor like I needed to.

Joy: My mom came to visit and spent the 4th with me!

Sorrow: Where to begin...

My DVD player died so I found a cheap one for $26 at the local K-mart, which is going out of business. I take it home, hook it up and it shorts out my TV! Now I have to mail my TV back to the manufacturer to claim the warranty. I tried to take the demon DVD player back but they made me wait until the store manager showed up and he only gave me store credit. After that I went to another store and found a Sony DVD player for only $30, compared to other which was a Curtis and a piece of junk.

And I was mocked and called names, including derogatory terms for a gay person, by my loving class mates because I liked the movie "Frozen".

Why must life be so hard?

man, that all sucks. Frozen is an awesome movie, don't let them get to you.

Sorrow: My finger still stings a bit from when I accidentally hit it against the wall hours and and it started bleeding.

Joy : I think me and my friend are getting a bit closer, not dating closer, he's a nice guy though and we really help each other out mentally at least.

Sorrow : My Graphics Card might be dying or something slightly less worse could be wrong with it. My phone decided to be sad and boot loop. Probably because I rooted it. Makes me miss my iPhone.

Other Joy : I think I fixed my phone. It is now happy and stuff.

Initial joy. Lecturers: "The moment the board releases everyone's total grade percentages we will send them over via email, then you can know them as soon as possible and begin to prepare for next year/referral work/actual work due to failure."

Later sorrow. Lecturers: "Well the examining board threw a massive hissy fit about that idea and wants to release the grades by post instead. Meaning you wont get them for up to ten or so days." The best part of that statement? We can't see what referral work we would need to do until after we get the grades...and the lecturers will all be on their individual holidays within a few days time. What that basically means is if you need to know what referral work you have to do, and you get the grades after the lecturers are on holiday...well it means you are totally screwed.
Thumbs up for universities because they are SOOOOO well run and organised. Yeah I am so nervous about this seeing as I don't do well in tests.

Sorrow. I thought my grades arrived today. A big letter saying private and confidential...but no. No it was just my bank kindly reminding me how poor I am. Aww thank you bank, you know just how to lift someone's spirits at this point in time. *Cries in a corner*

Joy. At least I got to visit my best friend for just over a week. He's got a horrible job so doesn't get much time off. So we used this time wisely, to the best of our abilities...we shunned daylight by playing the xbox and destroyed our digestive tracts with an OBSCENE amount of cola. The pain.

Sorrow: Just learned that my Grandfather is in the hospital. He had no choice due to his kidneys getting weaker. He was very stubborn when it came to going to the hospital, but we had to get him to go and it looks like he finally agreed and went.

Joy : Figured out what was wrong with my computer.
Sorrow : It's my graphics card. It's kaput.

Sorrow : My phone restore reverted my phone back to when I had my Jeep and my job. I played music on the ride home on my phone because radio doesn't work. Last time I listened to it was in my jeep. I wallowed in sadness for about 2 minutes while walking inside. Not really a sorrow.

Joy: I finished my master's program application 100%! Now nothing to do but wait for their decision.

Joy: The screen protector I ordered for my new phone just shipped. It was back ordered and when I ordered it, it was estimated to not ship till the end of July. I figured it wouldn't be THAT long, and it looks like I was right.

Uh, oh yea. Joy: Samsung S5 is a great phone. I don't think I told you guys I got it.

Sorrow: didn't get that scholarship.


Balls.

Joy and Sorrow: Back to work tomorrow. Vacation week is over. But I had a good vacation. Played a lot of good games, went to make sure my Grandpa was doing well in the hospital, got some good work done around the house.

Sorrow : Phone screen is broken.

Joy: Horse the band is coming to lansing!
They were my favorite band through most of high school. I still absolutely love them even if I don't listen to them as much as I used to. Their shows are supposed to be really crazy too. I'm more than excited for it.
Sorrow: Gotta wait until mid august for it.

Joy: My uncle is moving into town, closer to where I live. I haven't seen him for almost 15 years now. It feels weird that I never really seen or remember him and not sure what to think. But having family is a good thing.

Sorrow:a "friend" of mine this weekend pressured me into doing something I didn't want to do. He fought with me and threatened me to not show my face around him.

That's awful! Are you OK? PM me if you want to talk.

I know it's late, but you must say "NO!" right in his face to make him understand. Bring some of your other friends to increase your number and reduce the likelihood he'll do something to you. If he's truly your friend, he'll get the message. I know, I made the mistake of not saying no back then, and that was my worst life mistake.

Sorrow: So many world crisis happening right now, especially that involves my country for no reason whatsoever. Really makes me shun humanity as a whole, and makes my anxiety rise up again... *sigh* I stopped watching the news to protect my sanity, but I guess as an adult, you gotta deal with all the darns thrown at you.

Yet I feel like a little kid at these times. *sigh* No one would listen, and no one would care, but thank you for putting up with me now anyway. I'll go lick my wounds, and will be back when I'm okay again :3

Thank you for the advice. Sadly, he didn't get the message.

I am sorry to hear that. I understand though not wanting to hear the news. I personally don't think you need to feel bad. I don't watch the news either around here.

Joy: At the last band meeting, the band talked about doing a cover for a song from Arch Enemy's new album "War Eternal". Last night, we agreed on the song "As the Pages Burn" and I already have half the song memorized

Sorrow : My friend hurt himself a day or two ago and lay I heard he can't move his leg.

Sorrow: tornado in Dover. This was unexpected.
Joy: I get to watch the lightning and listen to the rain.
