    Dude...huge source of conflict between me (and my sister) and the rest of our family. It's really infuriating. :mad::(

    I'm sorry you guys are having rough times. *hugs* Just remember that what goes down must come up!

    The only thing good about fall is TV season.

    You have a very similar situation to mine.
    My father basically told me I'm a failure because I don't go out often enough and because I'm in the wrong line of work (he thinks I should be studying science... like him.)

    My job certainly isn't the best, but I'm not planning to study science either...

    So true! I don't watch a lot of TV, but I'm excited to have the shows I do watch back!

    Goodness. I've always had my struggles with my parents, but one thing they've always been cool about is supporting me in my choices about school and career. Must be frustrating to hear stuff like that. :(

    You got it in one. School Assembly's been cancelled. But seeing that 3 cases have been confirmed in our school and over 30 in Doon School, I'd say that's wise.

    Gigi-Those are the very shows I've got my reminder set on. *fingers crossed* to the new seasons starting soon.




    :( I have it warped up. Why is it that a guy I liked 4 months ago has to tell me NOW that he'd liked me too then.....*sigh* for opportunities lost.

    Aaah.... I just received the exact dates for my exams... and of course mathematics comes first!! :mad: And history is about a month later than math, why couldn't they just switch it? :(
    Oh well, I also got a letter of my best friend, so that cheered me up a bit...

    I'm not angry or anything, just a little disappointed with someone who sadly did exactly what we all expected of him to do today. I was hoping that we would be wrong and that the someone would do the opposite of what we expected, but no.

    I would say it is a simple case of "expect the worse and you won't be disappointed" but I expected the worst and I'm still disappointed that it was exactly how I thought it'd be...

    I'm sad...should probably not be as sad as I am, because I saw it coming, but still...very, very sad.

    I have no idea if they're related, to be honest. My sadness is forum-related, so it's possible...but I don't know.

    I'm pretty sure Torana's is not forum-related.

    Parents insisted I stay home from school today due to my flu symptoms, but I'm worried about everything I'm missing in my classes, not to mention the homework. :(

    Sorry you guys aren't feeling great.

    Don't worry about falling behind, Marina. If you keep pushing yourself instead of getting better, you'll probably ultimately end up further behind than by missing a day, right? Take the day, relax, and I hope you feel better tomorrow!

    This is arguably the worst day week period of time ever.
    It is hard to keep myself composed, and yet I must. Tears are a sign of weakness, and I must be bionic for anyone to give a damn about me.
    I will have to settle for a teary, runny nose and a tight throat. I hope no one talks to me (I'd be surprised if anyone did; I'm all but invisible when I'm "good" and all but excommunicated when I'm "bad"); otherwise, I will burst Nevermind. Too late.

    I dont know why I am not good enough for anyone. Not my friends, not my father, not my college, certainly not myself.

    Desperately, I wish to make a cave out of bedsheets and not leave my room for several days, but this too is not an option.

    I have my dog.
    That's all.

    I'm really sorry you aren't feeling too happy hideen. I hope you feel better soon.
    No, not at all.
    You are right and you have probably guessed what the disappointment is about as well. sigh! Oh, well, at least someone else has made up for it in a major way! :)

    Leopards don't change their spots. Zebras don't change their stripes. Waiting for either to happen will only frustrate you.

    I'm very glad that Ami actually managed to enjoy this birthday in good health and surrounded by people who live her. :)

    Very true. It is a shame though, because things are going to get nasty next week now.

    But you are right, she had a great day and was surrounded by those that love her.

    Hmm...I am sorry that several people are troubled here. It has been a difficult week for a lot of us and some bumps in the road have appeared along our paths.

    Keep your heads up, life has a way of picking us up and giving us strength for the journey. My thoughts and best wishes are with you all.

    Thanks, Marina. :)

    Hugs, Tor! I hope everything is ok.

    Say "oink" for the swine flu! My nephew gave it to my brother. My brother had a fever so high he actually had a seizure and stopped breathing. The fever is better. That was pretty scary though. Here's hoping the rest of the family doesn't get it.

    Goodness! I hope everyone feels better soon, and that no one else in your family gets it.
