The Happy Post

I just passed the 10,000 word mark.

 

WELL IT'S TRUE.





Is it hypocritical of me to say that, knowing that my high school team is called the Cardinals as well?

 

I don't know what I'm happy today, I just am. Prolly cause I have wonderful friends I can talk to when I need a friendly ear and a loving family who never fail to make me smile. Today just feels like a really good day in the making.

 

Yes. Yes it is.

Tor!!! You've almost beaten your record!

I'm so nervous and excited for you!

 

I know!!! If I stay pregnant till Monday, I'll have gone passed my previous record of 32+6. I'm so nervous and excited.

I'm happy because I am all organised for a rush trip to the city should I go into premature labour, but so far things are looking alright.

 

Tori that is absolutely fantastic news!!!!

Please know that someone in Florida is cheering you on!!!

 

Thanks Chimmy!!!! I really do appreciate it

And I am really happy cause tonight I got to have a really yummy tea... iced donuts! was soooooooooo yummy! lol!

 

You can make it, Tor!

 

There is so much stress on me and my family right now. But I just know that there has to be a time to come when all of the pieces will fall into place. I was standing outside this afternoon, the cool breeze blew upon my face, and for the sweetest moment I felt a tinge of something hopeful on the horizon. It is there as real as this moment. I only need be patient and strong.

I am happy.

 

You can make it tor!!!

 

I'm happy cause I'm eating homemade cheesecake.

 

I'm happy because I'm eating some pretty good ramen. Cheap, fast and easy, and it tastes pretty good too.

 

Ramen is good. You can't beat ramen unless it's something that involves cheese.

 

Cheese on top of ramen?

 

Ramen is pretty good.

 

I've heard of somebody trying that, but never worked up the courage to do it myself.

btw, don't ever buy five year old cheddar.

 

I'm happy because I am home in time for Jeopardy!
And because I leave for France in only two and a half weeks!

 

I'm happy because WF is so wonderful, I had a great day at school, I feel very loved.....

And everything is just good right now.

 

Merc, that is awesome!!! I am so happy for you!

Gi, this place is kinda awesome, isn't it.

 

I'm just trying to be in a good mood. Nothing horrible has happened, and I got to talk about orphans in second block. THAT makes me happy.

 

I was in my AP Language & Comp class today. A girl who I'm sort of friends with asked me what I wanted to do when I grow up. I started to say that if I grow up (I still have hope that Peter Pan might whisk me away to NeverLand), I want to become a psychiatrist, but my friend butted in and said, "Dont listen to her; she's going to be one of the best and most famous authors of all time! Have you read any of her work?"
The girl said that no, she hadnt, but she said she can tell from the way that I speak, a career like that is definitely within reach.

I love compliments like that. I hold very slim hopes in the vein of becoming a bestselling author because I dont have very good self control (I love writing individual scenes, but it's incredibly hard to put together entire novels because I have the attention span of a rodent), and the market is so hard to break into. But I love hearing reinforcement like that, especially from someone who doesnt really know how much it means to me.

Also, I turned in my revised speech today. My teacher says it's (now) one of the best she's read out of all three of her classes, but she wont give me a grade because she knows I can still do better than this. Okay, so I'm pissed about not receiving a grade yet (some people got theirs three weeks ago), but I'm pleased that she somehow seems to expect more from me.

Also, LOL, I will again be home in time for Jeopardy! It's the best part of my whole day.

 

Merc, I used to always say "when I get older" instead of "when I grow up" because I don't plan on ever growing up. It's really nice that you got a compliment like that! I know how great it feels, so that's very exciting to hear.

Also, congratulations on the compliment from your teacher. It must be frustrating that she hasn't given you a grade, but you've got to love teachers who actually care enough to push you to do your best! Those were my favorites back when I was in school. Good job!! (and, on the bright side, at least she didn't do to you what my sister's teacher just did-she handed in a paper, and her teacher gave it right back and said "throw it away and write it again"-OUCH!)

 

i'm happy because my dreadful german class went rather well today. i hate the class--the language, not the teacher--and i want to drop it, but i need the credit for my electives and there's no other elective i can take.

also, community and grey's anatomy are on tonight!!

 

Congratz Merc. I always hated higher expectations because it somehow made them think I was going to work harder

Having taught students before, every time I hear a story like that I'm taken aback. It just seems so contrary to me to any reasonable approach to teaching, whenever I see something like it, it makes me angry.


I'm happy because the NHL season starts tonight. I'm nervous enough I could have posted this in either thread, but I'm pretty optimistic which feels very strange because I support the Leafs. The Leafs open tonight against Montreal- whom I hate about as much as the Denver Broncos. I am looking forward to seeing Luke Schenn drive the tiny Montreal forwards through the boards

 

I'm looking forward to the half day of school tomorrow and homecoming. I'm going to my friend's house with a bunch of other friends to do hair and all that, and I will be amazing. I'm excited to see people's mouths drop open when they see me, because the dress looks great on me and is something more sexy than I usually wear.
