The Happiness Thread

My obsessive compulsiveness was taking over my life, and today I decided to stand up to it.

I feel so proud of myself.

 

Well done! OCD is really hard to beat, you should be incredibly proud

 

It'll take a while, but I know I can do it. If I could pass pre-cal even though I'm mathmatically challenged, I can do this.

 

She is, I love her.

Way to go! I know how tough that is. I have OCD too, and it's so horrible sometimes. Recently I got pills prescribed to help deal with it, and I've been able to stop touching things like I used to have to do.

 

The world is still here today. No global quakes, no fire raining from the skies. no people vanishing and leaving their clothes behind...

Didn't say I was surprised, but happy mevertheless. After all, it was a hoot.

Although -my daughter works in a convenience store. She told me more than one of her customers told her last week they quit their jobs because the world was ending. For real.

 

How is it that people still continue to do this? Have they not learned anything from previous... failures (or I guess.. wins)? Makes me laugh.

 

It's finally tanning and summer dresses weather! I've just come in from the yummy sun rays and put on my favorite peach-colored dress. Can't wait for summer!

 

You mean it's still spring...? >_<

It's been in the 90s around here (Fahrenheit, obviously). If summer is any worse than this, I'm going to construct a rocket-propelled freezer and launch it at the sun. Or maybe I'll just turn the freezer into my new house and find a way to install an extra AC unit. Good God, I hate summer...

But on the positive side, a nice layer of clouds just rolled in to reflect some of that heat back at the stupid sun. I've also written more today than I have in the past three months, and that sounds like something I can put in the happiness thread. Maybe I'm out of my slump.

 

I'm almost done with school! Just one more exam and I am DONE! I'm probably going to take it tomorrow. Can't wait for summer break!

 

I don't like the heat, either. But today was just the right kind of heat -- nice tanning weather but a nice breeze, AC cranked up in the house, and now it's storming outside, which is my favorite kind of weather.

 

Yay! That's a great feeling, I know.

I'm happy because last week was really great- seen lots of friends, went to play tourist in my own country (I'm incredibly good at that), went to the sea, played volleyball, took lots of pictures, got sunburnt again (yes, even that I enjoyed!) and lots more...

 

Woohoo, beach volleyball! I'm glad you had fun.

I had a horrendous nightmare last night (not uncommon) and decided to start a blog where I could post them. Instead of trying to be like "so I had this dream where this happened, then this happened..." I just turned it into a story, and it's been pretty well-received so far. Makes me happy--I never let people read my writing. Ever.

 

Just lifted some weights. I want to try and bulk up my 100 IBS self.

"Why not eat junk food?" you ask.

Because I don't like it.

*Half of world collapses in shock*

Oh dear...I'd better gather a bunch of healing potions. Methinks I'll need a lot of 'em...

 

I've found that an excellent way to beef yourself up is to roller skate for at least 4 hours a week. Since I started derby, I've gained 15 pounds. None of my siblings will leg wrestle me.

 

Oi, I don't like to roller skate. I'll just do laps and run.

<--- Fears that being blind in one eye won't make him a good roller skater.

 

Running is a solid plan, too. I guess not everyone needs to love roller skating.

 

I love roller skating, but I haven't done that in a while. I should probably take that up again.

 

You should...to prepare for a face-off against me.

 

Oh gosh, I'd probably go down really hard if I tried roller derby. I'd have so much fun, though. And probably laugh a lot at my falling down, too.


I'm pretty happy today -- it rained all day, I have the house to myself and I got a good grade on my math assignment today.

 

Honestly, I think a lot of people look at roller derby and think that it's worse than it is. I'm tough, but I'm no super woman...

I actually got my first real derby injury tonight. Kinda proud. If the bruises turn out nice, maybe I'll post a picture.

 

I honestly just had the best day ever. We had an assembly which was a double bonus because it was a really good/inspiring one (anyone heard of Rachel's Challenge?) and it meant short class periods. Then I had a good lunch talking and debating with my friend about the assembly and other things. Then I had meeting for the school's literay magazine which is AMAZING and I can't wait to sell it. My friend also came to the meeting so he could buy a copy in advance which meant I got to hang out with him a little which was fun and I finally got his number which made me super excited because I kinda sorta like him :redface:

But wait, theres more. I then got a badly needed hair cut and finally got feahter extensions which are super cute and I'm soo happy about!! I also had a fun soccer game tonight PLUS the aforementioned friend that I kinda sorta like texted me to tell me that he really liked my stories in the literary magazine and I've been texting with him since and it's been really great

So in summary good assembly+short classes+fun lunch+getting the number of the guy I like+him liking my story+texting with him+getting feather extenstions=a really good day

 

Pics of the new hair or it didn't happen.

Glad to hear you had a good day!

 

I've just had a message on Twitter from one of my favourite authors, offering me an advance review copy of his upcoming novel!

 

I just finished my internship at this grafic design company. So now im done with school for some months before i start the swedish counterpart of college.

13 weeks of summer break

 

I'll post some this afternoon!
