The Happiness Thread

Downloaded a legitimate free copy of CS2 Photoshop and InDesign. Anyone else can as well, it seems Adobe messed up.

 

Going to write a short story for my Fiction Writing II class due next Thursday! Very excited, and a bit nervous at the same time. I've never done a short story before.

 

I've finished my hardest exam, and 4 people online said it was really hard so i feel reassured that i wasn't the only one who failed

 

It's free for 30 days, then you have to pay 700.00 to keep it

 

A great big doggy smile from my faithful Rue...Sure it's a little thing, but he made me laugh.

 

I don't think so... Unless what I've read is incorrect, of course.

 

In May I'll be off to pre med and far far away from where I am atm. Everyone says I might not be able to handle it but they don't know how much I want to leave. A fresh start, a promising beginning, May's just 4 months away. Plus I'll be 17 in April, big whoop I'll still be 5'1

 

Happy that I've just started a couple of voluntary things and got another voluntary thing lined up. So I'm keeping busy. I'd have far too much free time otherwise, being unemployed an' all.

 

I just received a belated Christmas present from my daughter. Because she has attended culinary school, I have asked her for advice on high quality kitchen cutlery.

Today I received a high quality chef's knife, which she sent late so she could get just the right one. It is perfectly balanced and devilishly sharp.

 

My wife has a job interview! She's been searching for a while and finally got an interview and has a good chance of becoming employed.

 

Awesome! I hope she gets it, and that it is a job she can grow in.

 

I'm very excited that I finally reached 95,000 words on a novel I'm writing! It's not nearly done, but my goal was 50,000.

 

The aroma of freshly baked bread coming from my wood oven made my day. Looking forward to bake some pizzas too.

 

What kind of bread, Michael?

 

Just simple whole wheat bread, spiced up with some black pepper and origan, Cogito.

 

I got a performance management review today. ended up with a decent bonus for my hard work.

 

I stopped smoking last October, few months on and I've not had a single smoke and I feel much better for!

 

Yay, Lemmy!

Guess what? I handed in my short story a few days ago for my Fiction Writing class, and they said that for my first tackle on fantasy, I did a decent job! xD The characters were compelling, and there was a bit of a plot developing. I am so thrilled that I will now go and do the revision for the teacher!

 

Awright Lemex!

I stopped over thirty years ago. Fresh air rules!

 

Thanks everyone. I stopped and didn't tell anyone, I didn't want to curse it, but it just felt right to quit when I did. I'm not going to lie, it's been hard going cold turkey, and still is really, but it's much easier now. There still is the temptation but it's just no where near as pressing. I just don't 'need' it.

But the best thing about it is I'm now very conscious of the smell of tobacco, and it's repulsive!

 

Congratulations Lemex! That's a great achievement!

 

i got my phd-A!

i'm retardedly happy-A!

 

Congrats Lemex!

I've been trying to quit for a while but seeing people smoke at work is tough. I quit once, two years into college and started again when I graduated and the job market was keeping me on the hunt for a year. Even after I got a good job I couldn't quit. trying though! What's your secret?

 

I was struck with inspiration for a new idea to add to the story I've been stuck in since November. I'm excited to begin writing again.

 

I just received my first acceptance, though it's not fiction, it's poetry. The magazine is Wisdom Crieth Without.

Came at a rather incredible time to, which is a story within itself.

Serendipity is a rather crazy thing.

Anyway, even though I feel like a fraud voicing that, I did need to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening.
