Joys And Sorrows

Sorrow: I am experiencing this displeasing sensation. I am in fear of something... but I don't know what I am afraid of. I just need to calm down. Why am I so anxious? Nothing feels right, I cannot give a description to my emotions. I feel so uncomfortable in my own skin as if I don't belong here... everything feels so unnatural... I feel like I am going to suffocate and die. Why am I so worried, what is the problem? I don't understand why I have this irrational fear. It is so uncomfortable, I cannot enjoy anything. My skin is so itchy, so irritating, it is making me mad. Should I be crying or screaming? I hope it soon passes.

I hope so too, because I know how that feels. It'll soon pass, but try being with those who you trust and love and spend time with them. Nothing scares these thoughts better than being with your loved ones ^_^

Sorrow: Final year of undergrad studies is as tough as nails. Two final year projects! @_@
Joy: Taking up Basic Mandarin this semester, and the classes are quite interesting and fun so far.
Joy: Having a roommate really helps in pushing depression away

Joy: All my exams are finally over

Sorrow: I doubt I did anything really good with half of them, but meh, could be worse.

Thu May 31, 2012 2:54 pm

major sorrow: apparently the leaking problem we've had in our basement has led to mold growing. We're cleaning it, but don't have enough money right now to replace the carpet.
selfish joy: I almost never go down there, so any exposure I've had has been minimal.
wish us luck with not dying.

Joy: I got a summer-long research internship that very easily could lead to next year as well! I start Monday.

@kuro: Yay! Glad to hear the depression is being helped.

Good luck!

@Sleet: Awesome!

Congratulations!

Sorrow: Got a cut on the back of my heel somehow and it is stinging. I should probably wash it out before it festers. Pity I am too lazy.

Sorrow: Comfort eating too much makes one fat. But I don't have enoough time in the day to excercise more. I should stop but Twiglets are so tasty.

Joy: Haven't watched Futurama in ages and a couple of episodes were on today.

Sorrow. The holding clamp on my other dumbell still wont bend back into shape. I can only use one until it gets fixed. Plus there are not enough weights for both dumbells

McFly · Post by **McFly** » Thu May 31, 2012 11:03 pm

Joy: Finally watched Kung Fu Panda 2. 'Twas hilarious.

Major Joy - My aspirations are finally starting to take shape, and I am so glad those A-Levels from college came in useful. Now I just need to do the hard work, and hopefully the first phase of the plan will come together.

Joy - I have also gained a new job. However, I suspect they will not be supportive in my career choices. If they attempt to stall me I may need to resign. Hopefully that will not be necessary.

Joy - And I will not have to take the enormous gamble that I thought I might have to take in order to gain the career I want. Therefore, I would be financially secure (if not entirely comfortable) for the next few years. Although, this will not last forever.

In other news...

Joy - The Queen's Diamond Jubilee is underway and everyone seems to be getting into the spirit of the occasion. I have not seen so much red, white and blue in all my life. Its nice to have people being patriotic for a change (as long as such patrotism does not mutate into anything extreme).

Thank you kurowolfe, it is gone now.
Joy: I've apologised to some people. I admit I'm not a very pleasant person to be around but I'm hoping that no one still holds a grudge on me.
Sorrow: I realize that I am pretty much a walking stereotype. I never noticed it, but I'm becoming someone that I never wanted to be.
Joy?: I don't know what people see in me that they want to help me... I feel like I don't deserve it.

Take it from someone who's been through it: don't judge yourself--it's just as bad to judge yourself unworthy of what you get as it is to judge yourself worthy of better than you're getting.

The fact that you "never wanted to be" what you're becoming is a good sign--it means that you're not becoming that entirely, so there's still a chance. THAT is part of what people see in you. Try to see yourself as others see you--as those who want to help you see you.

Joy: I found out that my favorite restaurant on campus can be ordered via the interwebz

I rather missed using the older models, they're built to last. Today's phones are as fragile as glass; one drop and that's it =w=''

Mixed: Just returned from attending my high school friend's wedding reception. The event was ok and all, but it made me realize I'm at that age already...

PhoenixAsper · Post by **PhoenixAsper** » Sun Jun 03, 2012 6:00 am

Joy: My job rocks, in the basics.

Sorrow: Paranoia, highly unreasonable fears, and impatience...

Joy: Got my first day of voluntary work today. Gotta say, I'm more nervous then I thought I'd be.

Not all of them are. I once saw someone just throwing there phone against a wall, multiple times, then picked it up, put the battery back in, and it worked just fine. Of course, the phone was specifically built to withstand such punishment, just like my current one is, but that's still pretty impressive.

Sorrow: I got one day of school left. Tomorrow. I have to go in on a Monday, take my final two exams, then I'm free.
MONDAYS!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!

Phones are glass, so of course!

And don't worry! You're plenty young.

Joy: I had corned beef for dinner! Its sooo good!
Joy 2: Saw MIBIII, Its actually not that bad, I say see it, its worth your time.

Gonna try to see that movie this week.

Sorrow: Back hurts again.

Seems like it's something worth the try. Both, the movie and the food! c:

Reviewed my mission objectives on my game, the usual of course.
1. establish base
2. Blow up submarine yard
3. Annihalate all remaining yuri forces.
Completed step one and built up a force, destroyed his submarine dockyard. Mission complete for absolutely no reason.
Joy: Yay no hunting around the map for that one last submarine to blow up.
Sorrow: I like blowing stuff up.

Joy: Felling hungry and luckily there are some chips left over still. To the microwave!

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 8:15 am

Sorrow: Forgot to do something I needed to do for my last exam, and I am rushing to do it now. Hope it turns out to be good enough.

EDIT
Joy: I'm finished, and it looks pretty good.

Joy: Had my first driving lesson (17 is the legal age in UK). I have a new found respect for those who drive manual cars.

Tue Jun 05, 2012 2:43 pm

I've never driven manual. Automatic all the way.

44R0NM10 · Post by **44R0NM10** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 2:50 pm

you can go to manual to automatic rather easily, but it's impossible to go from automatic to manual.

Also, I'm English, 95% of cars are manual.

Tue Jun 05, 2012 2:59 pm

and you drive on the wrong side of the road

no, it's for the lazy, commie.

I rarely see a manual living in America. But I should learn how to drive one anyway. It's a good skill to have.

Joy: My first day out of school has gone great so far. Haven't done a single thing worth mentioning.

Sorrow: My hard drive is probably dying.

Clicking, to be precise. It may have anywhere from a week to a couple months to live. I might disappear quite suddenly from here one of these days.

Joy: My new computer will be here sometime soon!

Sorrow: I can't wait for it to get here.

JOY:FUN Tech-club meeting, it was just heaven for computer geeks. everyone just gathered around the table and played poker and 21 something while betting their own computer parts. I earned power supply and bunch of graphic cards

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 7:55 pm

Joy:I'm going to be in country when my mom has her mastectomy later this month, that's a huge relief. I really wasn't looking forward to having that on my mind while I'm trying to enjoy the other side of the pond.
