The Happiness Thread

My $120 flu vaccine return was found after all. It was received by the manufacturer 2 months ago. Yay! Post office never once scanned the tracking number into the system.

 

YOU HAVE CHOSEN 'Yes'.

PLEASE DO NOT OPERATE ANY MOVING VEHICLES.

ENJOY.

Are they all lazy, and quite possibly drunk? I thought it was, y'know, Post Office Lesson #1 to scan the tracking number into the system?

Ah well, good thing you've got it now.

 

I have no clue what the issue with the scanning is. Sometimes things only show up as 'tracked' when "out for delivery" and that can be many days after I dropped them off at the post office.

But now that this item turned up, the post office has only lost one game I shipped. Makes me feel better. I need not worry yet that lost packages are becoming a habit.

 

I'm happy that NBC, Macy's, Cheryl Burke, Thomas Roberts, and, yes, even Flo Rida are dissociating themselves from Donald Trump. One can only hope that the entire country can dissociate itself from him.

 

I met the student adviser for Eastern Kentucky University and he REALLY wants me to go there. My decision on where to go to school is getting even more difficult. School at EKU starts August 24th and school at Cumberland starts August 28th.

 

And izzybot's heart grew three sizes that day.

Happy things:
- Getting a personalized email-address of my school. Man, it feels good to say that.
- Swimming pools!
- The care and concern my parents show when I come back home from working late.
- Having fun things to look forward to.
- Earning moneeeey.
- Warm weather.

 

called it off with the guy I was seeing (actually feel happier now). Still gonna be friends with him. In the mean time I have a date Friday and two more next week for no other reason other than I want to.

Also my clothing order came and I have new going out clothes which makes me happy.

 

Well, it's been a while since I was on here. So, a brief update.

Decided to wait until next year to cycle across Canada, it just wasn't financially viable this year.

My freelance travel writing has somewhat taken off. I'm now published somewhere that isn't my blog, and a local cycling webzine that I write for, for free.

This piece was published in October, and was my first-ever paid article that I'd written and done the legwork for myself. The others being for someone else's website, via Odesk. A second interview piece featuring Mike Ranta will soon be published in Canoe & Kayak in the US, along with another interview piece of mine, featuring Scott Mestrezat, a man who stand-up paddled the Missouri River. Then, either late this year, or early next year I will receive my first-ever print publication, as that second interview piece featuring Mike Ranta will also appear in OuterEdge Magazine in Australia. Along with a second interview piece about an intrepid Northern Canadian adventurer... But I wouldn't want to give too much away.

Very, very happy right now.

 

I'm pretty happy after talking to the head of the Criminal Justice department And I just need to do something like 32 credit hours at Eastern Kentucky to get a degree. I also only need 18 hours for my minor in psychology but I've already taken some classes.

 

Zillow says my house value is going up $1,000 a day!

 

Tomorrow:

 

Funny enough, I'm eating hamburgers right now.

I'm also going to prepare for the loud fireworks that will continue for at least a week after the Fourth.

 

I'm staying home to sit with my dogs that freak out over explosions and thunder. My smaller dog freaks out if I say the word, kaboom.

And with our tinder dry conditions and 90F heatwave, I want to stay home with the hose ready incase any bottle rockets land on the roof. Though anyone shooting them off is going to get a police report. All the neighbors are on alert.

 

I remember going outside just when a firework went off. The dogs and I hauled ass back inside pronto.

How the hell do none of us go deaf at the sound of it? o__O

 

Just heard back on my commissioned poetry project, Violet Bright! They loved it, beyond happy with it!

 

Happy 4th to all Americans out there! I don't wear red a lot, but this is one time I'm willing to make an exception.

 

That certainly helps explain all your poetry comp medals

Do you discuss your poetry experience, mastery or publishing success anywhere? I would like to learn more about potential opportunities, market, etc?

 

I'm getting to make art with one of my really talented friends and I'm so excited to see the final product aaaaah

 

Tour de France starts tonight
Stage 1 is a TT

 

Muhahahahahhahahahahahahaha

Fireworks

YESSSSSSS

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

*Secretly wishes he still had old action figures*

 

I put in my first volunteer application for the local LGBTQ organization. I'm so excited to get started and to finally surround myself by like-minded people.

 

I can do my Masters in Creative Writing in September!!

Like sjdhajsd my parents said yes to funding it. I got a 2:1 which is what I needed to get into the course, but ahhhh.

BUZZING, MORE ALCOHOL NEEDED

 

Passed second year with a 2:1...yay! But now the real work starts...boo...

 

Who would've thought that just letting your own characters tell the story for you rather than the other way around would make writing so much fun!! I'm actually excited about my fantasy now! I actually feel a desire to write it after I *gasp-eth* allowed my characters to decide what their stories were going to be.

Now I'm going to do the same for my sci-fi and historical mystery!

And yes, it took me this long to figure it out. I'm kind of an idiot.
