    Ooh! Ooh! I call dibs on October 31! It is only fitting that the Mistress of the Macabre should deliver on Halloween.

    Thanks, guys. I tried singing it along with the video too, because I have horrible range so I had to make sure that I could hit all the notes, and I can! Yay!

    Now I just need to get rid of my sore throat so my voice doesn't sound all gravelly and masculine...

    I don't think I could... I'm not great in singing high.
    Though once I was picking berries with my little brother, and I was singing that song of 'Mulan', and suddenly he said :"Wow, you've got a good voice!" :p
    Lol, it's funny. :)

    Awwww! Hope he had a great day at "big boy" school. Did you get any pics of him in his uniform?? You both must have been so proud of him. :)
    Such a special day!!!!

    Exactly. And if we have a boy, Universal Studios Halloween Night has a Saw theme. And what is the boys name we chose? Tobin after Tobin Bell!!! hehehehehehe! How fitting would that be? :p

    That is great news.

    EDIT: I am happy because today I am 30 weeks and 1 day and still pregnant. Also, my new heaters work so well warming up the house. I think the power company will love them as much as me though :p lol

    Glad the Happy Thread has been active! It's always nice to read about others' happy moments.

    I'm pleased because the fundraising event paid off! Between roughly 40 people who attended, we are now nearly $2000 closer to our France trip! :) Just $2000 to go, but the amount we raised today was enough to solidfy our tickets and housing, which takes up $12,000 of our $16,000 budget for nine of us! Lossa money, but at least it's going for a good cause.

    I got 5th High Individual today, and my team got 3rd place. Very proud of all of us.

    My Oral Reasons score was a 46/50, and my Placings got a 46/50 as well. Which is a GREAT score. So proud of me. :)

    I am happy for you Emily. :)

    I am happy because I just had a wonderful revelation about myself and "who" I am. ;)

    I went back to Black Bear Diner (where they gave me the Bacon Ranch and I freaked out) just to prove to myself that I could do it, go back to where I had had a panic attack and know that didn't mean I always would. Silly I know. But I went. I felt anxious at first, but was ok. I had only moderately crappy service (to be expected). No bacon. So...victory.

    Seriously, congratulations. It's great to challenge yourself and win.

    I am happy because I got a good sleep in and the pains stopped after a long hot bath lastnight. Today I begin the Celstone-Chronodose treatment incase the baby is born early. I don't like them as they hurt loads, but if bub is born early, it will give bub a better chance at life because it helps to develop the lungs of the unborn child. Fingers crossed!!

    I'm happy because I have a short day tomorrow. After the nightmare of yesterday and today (although today to a lesser extent thanks to meeting a really nice lass), I only need to be in for an hour tomorrow.

    Well, I say an hour. I'll probably be in for nearer 5, but even so. Lighter work than the 15 hour epic of yesterday and today's 10.

    Well there's a silver lining to all the school, work, and money crap going on lately. It's made me take refuge in my writing time. Something that I did only when I felt like it has turned into the part of the day I enjoy the most, and now I'm coming to enjoy the process of writing as much as the end product. It's totally worth getting up at 5 AM. ;)
