The Not Happy Thread

I have that! It's a real bummer. I've had it for just over a week so I suspect you won't be feeling that much better by tomorrow. On the plus side, you might also get the joys of being kept awake by all the phlegm making you cough all the time like I did/have. Aren't colds great? ;D

And talking of colds, I wish mine would go away. I'm bored of half coughing to death just to try and get rid of all the phlegm. I even started eating really healthily, you know to get the needed vitamins, and it hasn't helped at all. I need to write and read but I can't concentrate because I'm tired from lack of sleep due to my stupid cold. Bleurghhh.

 

It might, but maybe it will get whatever you're depressed about off your chest and into something tangible. Worth a try next time you're feeling down.

 

Oh gosh. It seems to be going around. I knew I'd get a cold the minute I heard a woman say she'd been ill over the weekend - and I was standing in a lift with her. I'm one of those people who catches every damn bug going. I've also got lots of work to get on with - my work placement at Quercus to be exact!- and now this cold has come along to make it extremely difficult. Ugh, the amount of tissues i've gone through...

Here's hoping we both get better soon eh? Bleurgh indeed!

 

Yeah, it sucks. Indeed, let's hope we both get better soon. And oh man, I know about the tissues. My bin's basically full of tissues. I had a moment of panic last week because I thought I'd ran out and I couldn't face going out, but luckily I managed to find some.

 

How the almighty buggering nameless Judeo-Christian deity have corporations got away with not paying £25bn of tax while if I let my road tax slip I'm up in front of the magistrates?

 

Because, as annoying and naive as the Occupy protesters may frequently be, they have one hell of a point.

 

Very true. And I do support their motives if not their style of protesting. Though it does mean that it's still a visible cause to anyone who walks through quite a few city centres (I've seen first-hand the ones in Leeds and Newcastle).

 

It's always when I see some blonde, beautiful Oxford-educated girl that I start wondering what I actually have going for me. Moan, moan, moan...(fuck off insecurities, please)

 

^ Just remember, you don't have to go to Oxford for a well paying, and respectable job. Sure it helps, a lot more than most universities, but it's not everything. What counts more is, I'm told, what you do after earning your degree. And everyone is beautiful in their own way. Aside from Jack Black.

Sides, some guys (like myself, actually) prefer non-blondes.

 

I am curious. Why is it that the "Not Happy" thread is by far the most popular and largest thread in the lounge section (maybe the entire forum)? Is it because writers tend to be unhappy people or something? Or is it because writers just like to express themselves more, or maybe they tend to be more sensitive than others? I do not know, but I think this is an intriguing question. Someone should do a study on this.

 

I'd like to think that artists are not strangers to pain, anger or frustration. It's what we thrive on, and we're obsessed with it. As for a study, I would think that something's been done, but I'm gonna have a look at some point. It'll be interesting to look at.

As for me, working in retail for four years has made me lose all respect for customers. And being Christmas, everyone turns into dirty, ignorant monsters, regardless what they want to buy or can't. Workers like myself are just trying to be as helpful as possible, but when some stuck-up bitch bad-mouths me because she was too late in buying Mario and Sonic at the London Olympic Games 2012 when the price has returned to its regular status, it makes me want to jab her in the throat and smack her head into a pillar. (Note: I say "her" because most of my experiences with bad customers are disgruntled mothers. I have nothing against women in general.)

Bad enough I didn't like people very much to begin with, but idiots like this are why I hate my job. The job itself is great and the workers are nice guys, but customers are the bane in my world. God, I hate them. I really need a new job.

 

I think part of being a writer is being in touch with human emotion and since the world isn't really a "happy place," for whatever reason, we notice it hits us harder. It is hard to pay attention to what is going on in the world and not have it shape our mood, especially since the world is where we get our inspiration to write. I mean, even comedians are often deeply depressed and they get paid to laugh. This makes me wonder how well a sociopath would write considering they don't have typical human emotions. Maybe they are good horror writers. lol.

 

Pretty much, yeah.

We're sensitive to how the world works, and the world leaves a big impression on us. Since we don't exactly live in 'happy times' now, our writing tends to reflect that.

 

I think it's just that people like to have a moan on the internet...

 

That, and some of them actually are depressed about something and want to share it with the world.

 

Having to go to school all this week, straight up til Christmas... that sucks. And having to work a lot of hours this week doesn't help, either. Bleh.

 

That...really sucks! D=

My Not-Happy: Yesterday at 12 noon? Estatically happy because of my Final Grades. 6 at night? Bummed out because I stupidly read comments on an IGN article that had absolutely nothing to do with gaming (it was about politics instead.) Now I have to figure out how to be estatically happy again.

<Insert depressed/vomity emoticon>
