Roses And Thorns, tell us about your day Options

[Yannick]

Rose: Pretty fantastic day. Went down to Tampa for some serious Amtgarding.
Rose: Did pretty well in the tournament. Third in Florentine. Second in Open. Second in Archery. Not sure where that puts me overall.
Thorn: Both of those seconds were such *stupid* mistakes. Lost to my knight both times lol. With enough patience, it would have been different, but I was all excited about winning, so goofed up. Next time!
Rose: Got to see Tom and V and the kids. Going out for dinner in garb is one of my favorite past times.
Thorn: There was this annoying drunk guy. It was Kingdom Qualifications, so there was an Arts and Sciences Tourney, and someone made Skittles Vodka. He decided to sample every flavor of the rainbow. Wanting to swing stick drunk at noon on a Sunday in Florida summer is just a recipe for disaster. Bleh.
Rose: Still, great day. All those thorns are minor compared to the roses.

Thorn: Except for this one. adfljkadsjklafdjkfd;fdak;fdjklfakdjfal;kdsfalksdfjalksdjfaklsdjfaklsjdf at a completely unrelated event. Gah. Can't even bring myself to type this bull.

[BigMistake]

Rose: Went bowling and BBQ'ing, next week it's paintball and wakeboarding!
Rose: I got the call that I actually get to go through to next year, which is so much better then being kicked out \o/
Thorn: I've been having a massive headache for the last few days, which kind of undermines my ability to parteh

[Mata]

Congrats, don't waste the chance!

[BigMistake]

Congrats, don't waste the chance!

Wasn't planning on it. Using the vacation to get up to speed with Unity, Blender, PHP and MySQL. I have to miss out on the first GameLab, but thankfully that just gets moved up from what I've understood.

[Yannick]

Rose: So stoned and my friend's mom is bringing us McDonald's. Large #12 with a Coke, kthx.
Rose: Bright Eyes is so good. Don't tell anyone.
Thorn: Frustrating realizations.
Rose: But, realizations. Better than none.

[Hobbes]

Rose: a day off

[Yannick]

Thorn: I've completely vandalized this shirt with snot and tears, and it's not even mine. :/

Thorn: I haven't been home for more than an hour since Thursday. I miss my bed and cat, and I'm sure they're enjoying each other right now.
Rose: At least I have my pillow.
Thorn: Can't tell if I'm moody because I'm hormonal or if I'm moody because of all the suck.
Rose: I wasn't going to submit this, so I scrolled to the top of the page to hit "View New Posts", and then wanted to mention that I got third in that tourney from last Sunday. In a dumb way, remembering that kind of makes me feel better.
Rose: Chocolate and alcohol.
Thorn: I can't get the "I'll start drinking like the way I drank before" line from this song out of my head.
Rose: I actually listened to the live version of the above before posting it to figure out which one I wanted to link. I love how he changes the lyrics and develops the story further.
Rose: This thread always pacifies me. Typing this out has made me go from a "F*ck everything" to a "I think it's bed time."

[Hobbes]

Rose: This thread always pacifies me. Typing this out has made me go from a "F*ck everything" to a "I think it's bed time."

Putting something into words (whether spoken, or written) is a good technique for trying to cope with stuff, or come to terms with stuff, or evaluate stuff, etc. I think it's a decent way to take whatever your mind is fooling about with, and make it more tangible - thus helping you find solutions... or whatever...

Thorn: Wow, that sounded patronising. Really wasn't mean to be.

Rose: At home now, work has finished for the day.

[Yannick]

Thorn: Meh.
Thorn: Knight and wife couldn't make it to the Day Battle (monthly Dagorhir event), but I decided to go anyway, despite having recently broken up with my unit leader.
Rose: I ranked up in my unit, and the fighting was actually decent.
Thorn: A shield bash throwing me against the floor put me out of the commission for the day. Hit my head so hard on the ground that it still hurts, now about six hours later.
Rose: Boy was kind and brought me a wet cloth to put on my head and stuff. :/ We went home early, as he wasn't feeling well either.
Thorn: Worst. Car ride. Ever. 45 awkward minutes of holding hands and crying. Nbd.
Rose: Just spent two hours sitting in the shower and drinking vodkacoke.
Thorn: My head really really hurts. The back got slammed, but the top hurts. I'll probably prod my mommy about it if it doesn't stop by the time she gets home.

I'll give today a 4/10 maybe.

[Hobbes]

Rose: Sunshine!

Thorn: Managed to pull a muscle in my back yesterday by doing something particularly stupid and reckless: sitting in the sun.
Thorn: Nope, I really have no idea how I managed it.
Thorn: Damn hurts though.
Thorn: And at work today, which usually requires me to do some heavy-lifting from time to time.
Thorn: Needless to say, my posture is slightly angular today.

Rose: Sunshine!

[Yannick]

Rose: Went to my favorite playground from when I was little with my grandma today. Everything was the same, but I outgrew the dinosaurs.
Thorn: Everything hurts.
Thorn: I can't get up from laying on my back without rolling over because the strain on my neck is too much.
Thorn: My head is still tender.
Thorn: My wrists and fingers feel like they need to be cracked, but won't.
Thorn: Some of my ribs are very sore.
Rose?: I guess that's a legitimate reason to stay away from Dag for a while.
Rose: Home.
Thorn: Time to start the coffee and do four chapters of physics.

[Yannick]

Rose: Pretty good week.
Rose: Went into a store I would never normally go into earlier (because they sell music, of all the free things >_>) and found a super adorable Finn hat. Think I'll be an Adventure Time Jedi instead of a normal Jedi for Halloween this year.
Thorn: The majority of my friends have gone back to school, but I'm still free for another two weeks. Not sure what to do with all my free time. D:
Rose: Besides go to the beach and Wet n Wild and other fun outside things, obviously.
Thorn: Meh, but it's really just a minor meh.

[Hobbes]

Rose: I went swimming for the first time in over two years.
Rose: I love swimming.
Thorn: It was a leisure pool, so there was not much opportunity for 'proper' swimming.
Thorn: And no deep-end to plunge into.
Rose: But still swimming!
Rose: I feel very comfortable and happy when in water.

[Yannick]

I feel like that sometimes. For the last year or so, for the first time in my life, I'm living in a house with no pool. I hate it.

Rose: Went to Wet n' Wild a few days ago.
Rose: Learned how to wake skate!
Thorn: Still sore.
Rose: At least I can move now. Day one of recovery was the worst.
Rose: Got most of the classes I wanted to take...
Thorn: Calc filled up between the twenty minutes I said I wanted it and the time spent getting my decision approved.
Rose: I still have until August 31st for a spot to open up. *hopeful*
Rose: Waiting for my friend to show up. Going to swing some stick today.
Rose: I get my new bow today!

[Hobbes]

Thorn: It's a Monday and I am just finding Mondays harder and harder to get through. Ugh.
Rose: The weather is 'nice'. Not stupidly hot like yesterday, not horrible and sucky like the rest of the year.

[Pikasyuu]

rose(?): i noticed someone on these forums just turned 15. what are the odds they registered when they were 5? i could check, but i like this idea and don't want it shattered.
thorn: i should really be getting ready for work right now.

[Yannick]

Thorn: Tomorrow might suck so much.
Rose: It might go well.
Thorn: More likely, it's going to suck.
(Might have to see my ex for a few hours. At least he was considerate enough to ask first. Too bad I'm either too stupid or too nice and said it's fine. Damn our mutual friends and interests.)
Rose: Got a 104 on my math test.
Thorn: My Federal Government professor is such a joke. The answers on his exam, that he went over with everyone as a class today, are 'A,B,C,D' repeated for forty questions. He asked if anyone would prefer an alternative form of the exam, and I actually said yes. I was outvoted by the morons in my class.
Rose: At least I'll get a 2398098% in the class.
Rose: Finally bought some Armadyl armor on Runescape. :3

[Pikasyuu]

rose: everything is good and my brain has a shiny new toy to play with.
rose: self confidence in appearance still increasing and not lapsing into horrible 'i am hideous' days
rose: little baby girl mouses (3)
thorn: if i think too hard about the future and what i want, i end up as the imagined equivalent of a girl covered in several different strings and wires of varying colors who seems to be trying to untie them and find out what to do with them, but has no idea where to start.
thorn: the settlement on my grandmother's house (aka england money) probably wont happen anytime soon because of a few complications. this really hurts, because i realized that even though i love my job and my friends and my life, sitting in irc at 11 am in my pajamas with 15 people, all of whom i like beyond words, was probably the most ecstatic i've been for a very long time. i've wanted this for ten years, and i had an opportunity to save when i wasn't paying bills. i assume what i'll have to do is really tighten my belt on everything besides those bills and very slowly build up to it. if i want it that badly, i have to make it happen.
rose: i could also just sell a f*cking egg. (seriously considering, as if they take it, you make 5k.)
thorn: my genetics might make them not want it. but maybe they take into account positive genetic traits?
rose: worth a shot~
rose/thorn: what if i accidentally run into my biological child someday and we don't know who the other is and then i buy her/him some ice cream, realize this, and tell them they were a magical trip to england for me and also the gift of life for their parents?
rose/thorn: what if i KNOW their parents but their parents don't know they got MY egg? it could be a sitcom.
rose/thorn: it's weird to think of myself as having eggs. i am not a chicken.
rose: i'll stop now.

[Pikasyuu]

rose: i just bought an awesome acer ultrabook for 850$ ^____^
thorn: i have to sign for delivery. i am almost always at work during delivery hours and considering having them deliver it to work, but what if they deliver it when i AM at home? ugh.

[Yannick]

Thorn: I'm only awake because some Romney lover decided to go door to door and wanted to hand me things. Eff that guy.
Rose/Thorn?: I heard this weird sound after that. It sounded like a plane falling out of the sky or a missile or something. After bracing (by looking out the window) for impact and not dying, I still don't know what it was. It woke me up, though.
Thorn: I hate Saturdays.
Rose: Picked up a guitar last night, and didn't suck anywhere as badly as I should have for not having played regularly in about five years.
Rose: Almost fixed the PC that's been in the garage for about a year now.
Thorn: And just as it was doing a full factory settings restore, it decided to crash and eat the BOOTMGR or something. Now I pretty much need a Windows disk to be able to do anything with it.
Rose: But when I do, I'll finally be able to play League of Legends and have somewhere better than my Macbook to play Runescape.
Rose: Actually, maybe I don't need the disk. I'm fairly sure this was the exact reason the computer was in the garage in the first place, and leaving it alone for a while seemed to do the trick.

[Yannick]

Thorn: Met this guy tonight. I don't know why, but something about it just made me really uncomfortable. He was cute, and he didn't say anything inappropriate, but the timing was just odd. (I was on the swings, as I often and predictably am, at the park in my neighborhood as it was getting dark. He rode his bike over, started swinging on the swing next to me, and we talked a bit. Other people were leaving the park, so I told him I had to go, which transitioned into this "So... can I have your number?" thing. It just... idk. He was so nervous, but it didn't seem like he was nervous about the number thing, it seemed like he was nervous about something else.) Just kind of wanted to post that somewhere in case something happened. >_> He said his name is Kenny.
Rose: I probably just watch too much Criminal Minds. I told my mommy, and she agreed to stay home tonight.
Thorn: It reminds me of a gun debate I had on Facebook a while ago. It makes me sad to say that I would have honestly felt more comfortable if I had a gun or something.
Rose: Today was pretty fun otherwise!
Rose: I got my third Order of the Rose, which is an award for service to the Kingdom. We're currently doing a Zombie themed reign, so the artwork on it is really cool.
Rose: Stopped the "infected" people from winning today at the park. Humans - 1. Zombies - 0.
Rose/Thorn: The ex came out. Wasn't... bad. Went much better than I expected it to.
Thorn: Still wanted to cry afterwards (for really no reason at all, a PMSing Izzy is silly sometimes), but currently more concerned about creepy guy mentioned above, so yeah.
Rose: Joined a clan in Runescape.
Rose: Started PKing (People Killing, PvPing, etc.) on Runescape. Currently only targeting botters that sit at the green dragons, but they're sometimes protected by high level mage players that profit heavily from the botting. So far, I've killed 17 and haven't died yet.

[LoLo]

Rose: Heard back from a job I was hoping for.
Thorn: They don't think they can sponsor me for a visa.
Rose: They said they'd look into it and call me back if they can.
Rose: They sighed and said, "What a great application."
Thorn: I'm obsessively checking the status of the application.

[Pikasyuu]

rose: LOVE the laptop
thorn: will be broke for a v. long time.
thorn: argued w/co-worker yesterday.
rose: did not lose temper.

[BigMistake]

Thorn: I've been spending a ludicrous amount of time doing retakes these days.
Thorn: This has caused me to drop two of the three 2nd year classes, which plain sucks.
Rose: In the precious few free hours that I have I've been playing Rocksmith and thus my guitar, which has been a New Years resolution for years.

[Mata]

Those retakes are worth it and the most important thing for you this year.
