I went for a walk a little while ago and I kicked a rock. It bounced a few times then hit the curb and broke neatly in half. Now I have a cool shiny rock piece, which makes me slightly less sad. Rocks are cool.
I was able to finally get my webpage uploaded to my server after thumbling around with it all day. Which means I have a whole day to do finishing touches before I present it on Wednesday. :D
Tomorrow is my last day of work before I have a couple of days off. #Midweekend
My new USB mic came through so I can start doing some decent music recording! Spent the evening recording Psy's FFVIII parody of Whatever which I'll finish this week.
Also been writing a FFVII parody of Fast Car which is coming along nicely :)
Yeah, she's awesome. I really like Talkin About a Revolution as well.
Fast Car has a lot of lyrics though so I'm just working my way through them at the minute.
At risk of sounding like a broken record, today I was super productive! Edited ~25 pages of my fiction novel, wrote ~2,000 words on my non-fiction critique, worked on an essay for uni, and sorted out some general life crap and money crap and whatnot, and had time to spare. I love getting to the end of the day and feeling like I actually did something.
Finally found someone to cut my hair on the 24th and also am all registered for my volunteering, so I'm set to go with the training
Just sat my final exam ever.
Sold a snare drum I had up on eBay. $600.
Not bad.

Complete and utter relief.
I got my results back for the exam I sat yesterday. I thought I did really well, so I felt awful seeing an 18/30 grade on the website. That means a pass for the exam and a pass overall for the course; I've never received lower than a credit overall and the impact that would have on my GPA is awful.
After like forty-five minutes of being depressed about that, I finally looked at the grades again and realised that the tasks were listed out of order - 18/30 was the grade I received for a much lower-weighted earlier assessment task for the course. I actually got 26.5/30 for the exam, which is 88% - a high distinction. That means I received a distinction overall for the course. A much more agreeable result.
That caused such an Hermione-esque identity crisis for me, so it's a relief to know I was wrong. Although I do feel awfully stupid for getting so worked up about it when I obviously didn't read it properly. Who lists the tasks out of order? :roll2
I had a sucky morning, but I decided to rise to the challenge anyway. O:
Got some ideas for some new projects. Made headway on my thesis.
My blog has reached over 1000 views and my treadmill is coming home today!
Seeing my old college roommates tonight! Always a good time. I'm also about finished learning how to use Scrivener (thanks again for the discount code, Pike!) and will soon be working hard and several of my writing projects that have been on standby lately.
My The Last of us Platinum Trophy. I finally got it.
Going to 6 Flags in Jerzey tomorry! Just bought the tickets & parking pass online!
Jay & I will also be getting a hotel room and staying the night - just to piddle around and hang out and be away from the apartment for a lil bit. We may stop and see an aunt of his on the way back.
Hard. Core. Cleaning.
The cleaning wasn't awesome, but the after part is. I've been making an attempt to get my cluttered life smurfing organized lately in getting rid of things, cleaning things, organizing things, and making sense of my jumbled hard drive, bookmarks, and email so that I can feel better and focus on doing more fun things instead of being nagged by the sensation that "I should be doing something more productive right now." I also think it will help allow for creativity to flow more freely as I don't have to worry about things I should be doing instead of not doing them. (I procrastinate a lot. A lot.)
Cleaning, donating unneeded possessions, and physical organization done! Next comes digital organization, and then comes fun things like hanging rainbow origami hearts from my ceiling and putting up posters and writing and brainstorming for a new etsy shop.
This.

I could not look away.
I can't help how cute they are.
Allergy: worth it.
(But they'll be assholes when they're older and I'll hate them for it. At least they're not mine.)
I just want you all to take in these lyrics right now.
Came up with some great jingles for describing my activities such as making scrambled eggs, ect. All my animals are still alive today. The weather is good and I get to go to a BBQ and drink 10 beers or so.

This happened! :excited:
The best sitcom ever made: Newsradio.
And also devil's food cake :jess:
I feel like I've said this already.
Jay and I have officially decided we'll be picking out a girl boxer puppy. I talked to my dad about it and asked his opinion.. He said a girl would be the better choice.
Maybe in the future we'll get a second boxer and it'll be a boy. :D
I'm happy to find myself here in EoFF again :kaoclove:
Finished my first draft of my essay. Bought Transistor and started playing.
Playing CAH online with a bunch of #eoff'ers. that trout needs to happen more often :colbert:
I feel like I'm being dumb but CAH???
So far today, I'm in an extraordinary mood. I woke up early to the sun shining, proceeded to get ready for the day and managed to achieve the perfect shave with my straight razor, not one cut or nick. This made me proud and boosted my good mood even further.
I was somewhat distraught at work today, but a coworker was leaving, and dressed in medical scrubs to go to their internship. I yelled out, "HEY, YOU SCRUB UP REAL NICE!" and the customer behind me burst out laughing.

Aced my classroom training exam for my job (118 points out of 116--perfect score plus two of the bonus questions) and now it's on to floor training! :D
LOTR came in the mail today!
CAH was fun. Had some nice chats with friends. Made rocky road.
I love that you took the time to count them, Jinx.
Jay got $1000 today. We're going to mail off the deposit check for our puppy when he gets home!! I'm so excited!
The weather was beautiful & I took a nice walk @ breaktime.
Also, 3 day weekend!!!!!:chocobo::kakapo:
High five for three day weekends!
I also have a 3 day weekend. Yay for bank holidays! :jess:
I got a free Jack & Coke at Buffalo Wild Wings today. My waiter accidentally made an extra and just gave it to me.
feels good man
I'm actually planning a weekend vacation with attractions and a hotel and this super cool brewery and grill place and I've never done this before and I'm incredibly excited :omgomg:
Back and forth conversation with the author Kim Cormack (90k+ followers on Twitter).
Back and forth conversation with the investigative journalist Jerry Mitchell (verified on Twitter).
Random conversations with a bunch of other writers, including one that resulted in some rad gender education.
20+ new followers over the last few days. Holy crap.
The early morning number 2. You know, some days it just comes out and leaves you feeling inexplicably refreshed. Today was one of those days.
It made me happy today when I thought that me and 'mettymum' were going to 'get to know each other better through email and pictures' but then I saw that she was already banned. Oh no. No mettymum for me. Could of been my new EoFF best friend :heart:
Just realised this live video of me is on YouTube. Had no idea!
http://youtu.be/ORd63J9D7tM
Half original/half cover. A couple of bum notes and they messed my sound up right at the death but other than that I think it sounds half decent.
A short documentary that I was working on all Memorial Day weekend, was entered in a contest an hour late due to several things out of my control, but today we got an email from the contest runners saying that they'd still accept the film and will send it to the company sponsoring the contest. Here's hoping we walk away with the Grand Prize, or at least second place, which ain't too shabby either. ;)
I made my mother laugh :)
I woke up inexplicably happy today. I think it probably has to do with the fact I haven't went out and got really drunk for a few nights, and I've had more than one hour's sleep for a couple of nights now, and I smashed it at the gym last night. And this weekend is my friend's birthday and I'm really looking forward to that, everyone is in their 20's now and we all get together less and less because of life stuff.
Guess who just finished her sixth edit of her novel, Elymas.

Went shopping with mum this morning and she bought me awesome things. Then, after I got home, she sent me a message saying she ordered a couple of books for me online as well! It's nice when my interactions with mum are super positive like this.
Also, chocolate mug cake!

Edit: Sorry for double post - I figured in the last two days somebody would've done something that made them happy. Come on guys!
I'm angry about missing the party times of the ciddies tonight but on the other hand am seeing people I haven't seen in years, I have eleven beers which is a good number for going to London and partying in my friend's dorm. I'm wearing my rarest vintage jacket today, a really cringey (ironically so though so it's cool) Puma track top. On the back it reads in colourful letters 'climbing is a mix between fun and hard work. it needs excellent condition of body and spirit', oh the 80's when clothes said things on them more than they do now.
It's Ciddies day today! Huzzah!
I have a week off work starting tomorrow. Yes. No reason though, and I don't get paid until friday and spent all my money this weekend. But I still have a week off yessssss
I've also got the week off. Other than maybe clean my room, I'm not doing anything & loving it! :monkey:
Pocky :love:
Saw a decent house, made progress towards my goals (slowly), and jalapeno poppers

You ARE famous! EoFF famous. It's the best kind of famous.
I walked into my new home and it was quiet. It was very very very nice. I was alone and it was quiet. It was lovely.
Talking with Del and the surprise VM from Freya.
Talking about an internship opportunity next week. Finally beginning to feel like my life is progressing! This is a very happy thing
:wcanoe:
New set. :jess: Having pretty new graphics always makes me feel good.
I met my neighbors, they were awesome!
Sleep <3
Went to bed early, woke up early, have been productive, sharky going to see a promising house tonight, I have my volunteering tonight. Pretty satisfied overall
Aaaand I can afford a nap because I've been productive before I usually even wake up :jess:
It's raining. And only 63 degrees today.
I'm happy.
I have groceries. AND BEER! I havent had either really in a couple weeks. YAY BEER :love: For the beer connoisseurs: Im drinking Traverse City Cherry Wheat from Atwater BreweryAttachment 56654
My little sister is coming to NYC in October for her birthday!!
I'm so smurfing stoked and excited to see her it's ridiculous.
And I'm beyond proud of how well she's turned out. I'm so happy for her and I can't wait to see her.
I think that I'm gonna get her a Pandora bracelet and charm for her birthday gift.
One of my co-workers was pretty obviously having a trout day, and I got him to laugh and smile and he told me that time goes by a lot quicker when I'm there. Then we hugged in a pretty homoerotic sort of way. It was awesome.
I am about to say goodbye to my very.co.uk account. Never spend money you do not have. Goodbye Very, goodbye 600 pounds I owed you for like a year. I am leaving. :love:
Going to watch the sunset with some pizza tonight
Maybe if I feel generous
Won't the pizza get jealous, though?
That is an excellent point that I had not considered
It is decided then, sharky will buy me pizza, drive me to the park, and go do something else as I enjoy the pizza and the sunset
I woke up and thought I had work, then I realised it was sunday. Then I realised it was saturday. Now I have the weekend back. :love:
Got my hair done.
HNB bought me lunch and took me to see How to Train Your Dragon..
I bought a new sweater and hoody
Amazing Saturday! :)
Having a pretty easy saturday today, and 2 of my favorite dogs are here today :D
Managed to get a fair few things written. Made a start on my report, sort of.
My hair is being kind to me lately. It's finally beginning to get a little longer, which makes me happy.
I was going to post in this and say 'nothing made me happy today and why do I bother to continue living :nonono: '
but then I remembered on the walk home from work a girl gave me a big nice smile for no reason and I realised the world isn't as cold, cruel and harsh as I previously thought.
Internship confirmed :up:
The whisky bar I used to work at is looking to hire me back. Time to save for 2016!
This morning I was super angry because I had to get a filling repaired and I hate the dentist, but on the way home, me and the gf spotted a pair of seals chilling out at the harbor, so we went and spent a half hour watching them and it made me most happy.
Playing Gears of War 3 with Jiro was the highlight of my week. There are going to be more good things to post tomorrow; I'm going to make sure of it.
Having 100+ followers on my Twitter page and 30+ followers on my story at Fanfic.Net made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I packed for Switzerland! So excited to be going abroad for the first time on Saturday.
People using my smiley makes me happy :omgomg:
Thinking about tomorrow being Friday is making me happy today!
I've been on a mission in North Carolina for the Air Force this week so I'm excited today was the last day and I'll fly home tomorrow to see my fiance and our puppy. I can't wait. I've been away from home a bunch these last few months so some time home before the wedding will be nice and relaxing!
Yesterday my mom got hit by a semi while she was in her work truck (she works for Fedex). I found out too late last night to go see her so I went this afternoon. I'm extremely happy and grateful that she's still alive and going to be OK. Just a reminder odds, life is too short to be anything but happy!
Has nothing to do with me but, this video made me happy!

I found out that the horses in Metal Gear Solid V will poop. I'm still laughing.
What a wondrous world we live in. :hyper:
I also just made $30.
It's finally the weekend, it's so sunny outside, I'm about to cut all my jeans into shorts SO THERE IS NO GOING BACK :bigsmile:
My dad made it to 65! Today is his birthday.
I ordered a gift basket to be sent to him with treats and snacks and things and a $100 gift card to put towards new dentures ... Or groceries. Or beer. Whatever.
I got one of the chocobos!
*does a cartwheel*
Isn't it pretty?
The fact Jinx thought our book chat was nice and the fact Dr Unne exists and this classic tune
My dad got his gift basket and called me immediately.
He said "You shouldn't have done that.... You made me cry."
And then -I- started crying.
Hell, the man still has the $1 bill I gave him for his birthday when I was 6. :)
England still haven't lost a game at the World Cup!
Finishing Chapter Ten of my fanfic.
having a day off with my husband is a rare occurrence now but always makes me happy <3 especially since our son is feeling so much better! cutting three teeth at once really takes its toll i suppose!
Getting off work 1.5 hours early. :D
Not having to pay $5,000 for a new phone. I had no idea I was due for an upgrade, but it makes sense considering I've had an out-of-date phone for years now. I loved the 4S, but so far loving the 5C just as much. If it were as small as the 4S I'd love it even more. :jess:
this did cause me a half smile, so this was nice.
I am alive digging my nose! :bigsmile:
And I found a tadpole in it! :bigsmile:
I've read the archive enough to get excited by this. When I saw "Last Post by Christmas" on a few threads I let out a gasp.
I can't describe the feeling, I am celebrating by eating so many rice crispies :love:
I woke up this morning and it was Christmas!
Hopefully every day is Christmas now so we can all be happy every single day :love:
I have heard so much about this phantom Christmas and suddenly they are here and posting once again. I look forward to seeing why they were voted most missed and I was told I must vote for them also.
I have done 80 challenges in 80 days and I am so happy with myself because I was worried I would quit after a few weeks. But I didn't and I'm so happy I didn't and this blog has been great for me and keeping my motivation up :jess:
Nothing yet, I am waiting for my happiness to arrive!
I finally really started to plan out my first vacation of this year. 58 days!
Getting my work done for yet another week.
Seeing my friend in the psychology department, Nina!
My mum's friend will no longer be renting my old bedroom so soon I will be in my own bedroom for a while! I can relive my youth :spin:
Slept in and then went exploring. :jess:
I am about to pour myself another cup of coffee! :greenie:
I'm about to pour my co-worker a glass of shut the hell up.
Mine is pretty generous! I have two even larger at home but I like to use those for gin (I like drinking out of mugs and used to have a collection but it has now been widdled down to like, five ;-; )
I hate using glasses because I cannot stand seeing my fingerprints all over the goddamn glass, it drives me nuts xD
We took Kitty outside last night cuz she'd been pitch in a fit about eating to go with us everytime we head for the door..
She surprisingly stayed within the little front yard of our "building" & when she got kinda scared of getting left out, headed straight for the door. lol
While we were holding her (out on the sidewalk while Jay was smoking), a couple of people walked past and said she's gorgeous. xD

It also meant I got to walk around attacking things with this for half an hour:

This. This made me happy today.
Parker (the only one that matters- my girl.. xD jk eoff parker) Is here!!!
We had a lunch date at Red Lobster & went shopping at Target.
I managed the train all by myself. I'm so proud! And P was totally fascinated with the train and Target being 2 floors.. Lol She loved putting the buggy in the thing that carries it down with the escalator..
Tomorrow we're going to the Museum of Natural History and maybe the Empire State Building!
Oh mine! Oh mine! I got back the exam results from my part time studies and I actually passed every single modules!!! EVERY MOTHER SMURFING SINGLE ONE OF THEM!! Even the one that I thought I've screwed up!!! :kaoclove:
I am so so SO freaking happy that I took a bunch of selfies with my hamsters and threw them into a big huge bowl of hamster food to make them fatter than anyone can possibly imagine!!! :quina:
After which I went jogging and met big head, our friendly neighbourhood stray cat which have a rather oversized head for its small puny body. I shook hand with him and we went jogging together. :bigsmile:
Actually he resisted but I decided to carry him and cuddle him so hard that he gave up on the struggle and accompany me on my jog! :kaoclove:
Then I went to buy dinner at McDonald and share some with big head before big head got horny and went chasing after other stray cats to satisfy his lust. Naughty Kitty~~~ :bigsmile:
And lastly, here I am posting in EoFF still elated over my exams and my hamsters still stuffing themselves with hamster food inside the big huge bowl. :bigsmile:
PS: I decided to terrorize MANUS today too. I just can't resist not sharing the joy with him. :bigsmile:
I am off today and tomorrow, so I get to spend the days with my son! :D This morning he asked me for "cerebal" so he's eating his cereal for breakfast! :jess:
also, last night, he kept whispering "i wuv woo" and that made me happy :)
My blog has reached 2000 views, my first day of work yesterday was excellent, and tonight is taco night!!
I am about to eat chow mein noodles! :love:
With me passing all my exams, I've decided to be a sweet girlfriend and fetch my boyfriend after his overnight shift at like 8am in the morning. I couldn't stop hopping and jumping around with my excitement while he behaves like a dead zombie deprived from eating brains. :zombie:
We had breakfast together and it was great. I put the food in my mouth while he put his face in the food because he dozed off. lol. :bounce:
I took him home and tuck him to bed after reading some of my bedtime stories which he complains is a bit too scary for his taste. :(
After he fell asleep, I wrecked havoc in the house by looting everything I found in the fridge. Some went straight to my stomach while others into my ration bag. I took whatever mangas and games I found appealing and declare my ownership over them. :bigsmile:
Happy with my loots and rewards, I give him a kiss on the forehead and head back home to party~~~~~ YEEEEEHAAAAAA~~~~~ :kaoclove:
Beautiful glowing EoFF Forums Experience member ToriJ said it could not happen and I believed him and was quite content with my place in this world but I have just realised I am top poster without meaning to be! But I have to make up for 2008 - 2013 of not posting much at all and so am proud and happy about this :greenie:

I posted this ooo n FB, but yeah.
I jokingly told P that she should be in pageants cuz she's so gorgeous... She goes "Just because I'm beautiful & amazing doesn't mean I need to be in pageants, Mom."
& then she saw a shirt hanging in a store front outside and said "Mommy.. That shirt is supposed to say 'Thing 1', but it says 'Bitch 1'."
I nearly lost it. lmao She knows not to say bad words, but hearing it slip just cracked me up.
We went to see the Statue of "Liverty" today... While laying in bed, P informed me that the Statue was supposed to be given to Nashville. Cuz it was 1st. And it's very special.
I felt good this morning. Work was actually okay today, even if it was a little slow. There was a gorgeous sunset over the river as I drove home. I wrote some words on one short story this morning, then started and finished a 787 word piece this afternoon/evening. I still have time to play some video games before bed!
Just got back from a fun weekend in Knoxville, TN :cool:
There are several things still wrong between me and this person I've been friends with for nearly a decade, but I'm still kind of happy that we're on speaking terms again.
At some point a few hours ago, my hangover went away :greenie:
England have only lost two games at the football World Cup!

Shes so cute!
Should be a nice relaxing Monday at work today.
I got an increase in my money an extra £30 p/w.
I got a backdated payment of £915.
I bought 2 scratch cards and won £10, then bought 2 more (they were £5 each) and won £210, £200 on one and £10 on another.
I bought a new electric strimmer :
http://homebase.scene7.com/is/image/...id=420&hei=420
It works like a dream, and it only cost me £50.
On the whole today has been a pretty awesome day, and after the total crap weekend and months of having crap money, things are finally starting to turn for the better.
My resilience and my bright shining lights of love against this horrible day is a reason to rejoice at least!!!
It wasn't today, but the ending of one of the anime I was watching, even if it wasn't clear cut, wasn't the disappointment I feared it would be. It leaves me content.
Also, team's victory on the World Cup! Even if this is as far as they go, it was a good group stage performance.
Ten new likes this week on my facebook page makes me happy! (shameless plug please like it I post cool trout)

I meant to post this earlier but forgot; my mom is out of the hospital! She'll continue recovering at my aunts house now. I know she's thrilled to be with her dog Groovy again.
Good to hear, Starlet.
Jinx, don't have too much fun.
CEPHALOPODS ARE FUN. But scary. My daughter's favorite show is Squid Girl. It's on Netflix.
Tonight is chest night so I get to walk out of the gym with a slightly larger chest than I originally walked in with :greenie:
With more hair too? :bigsmile:
Second day of work went well and I finished early~
Yeah, it was true, I am experiencing it right now, my chest is so pumped everyone :greenie:
I've lost some weight, time to feast so that I can fill up the void. :bigsmile:
Seeing people slap each other on video.
That made me quite happy.
