(caught from the CGR (http://www.christianguitar.org) forums)
This afternoon, my dad was supposed to drive me to school for a meeting, but he got a migraine headache a few minutes before we were meant to leave (the kind where you just want to vomit for no good reason), so I had to get on my bike for the 40 minute ride in 37ºC heat. :ick:
-
And here's yesterday's reason: http://nodewar.penguinbomb.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=17780#post17780
-
well at least its a dry heat :)
-
Todays Reason To Frown:
Im not seeing my Girl Friend today :(
-
Today's reason to Frown:
The rain outside has turned 1 meter deep snow into water, my legal copy of UT2003 lacks a cd-key, I haven't got any sleep lately, my estonian grammar teacher said that a smart monkey could do better grammar than me, my chemistry teacher said roughly the same thing, I have no time whatsoever to do any socialising in the weekdays thanks to horrible amount of homework 'n ****, I missed a play I wanted to see, because I mixed up the dates, and getting a next ticket will mean standing 4 hours in a line at 6 AM in the morning.
That's frowny enough for you?
-
I'm sitting here in AP Government, waiting for my teacher to finish her lecture and taking "notes". Fun stuff. :)
-
Todays reason to frown:
My cheek still hurts from a filling I had on one of my teeth yesterday.
-
I have chips, beans, peas, sweetcorn and battered fish; A few good cheats for Gangsters 2; A copy of BSG-2003 Part 2; And I've had an adequate amount of sleep.
I have no reasons to frown........aside from a lack of money/a car/a girl.
-
I guess me having a flu is a reason to frown :doubt:
-
i am at work.. is that a reason to frown? [besides being paid $8.5/hour to do work as i feel like it and often end up broswing forums and writing code at the same time]
-
I think I have pieces of an exploded LED in my eye.
-
I have the kind of boss who assigns me a task and comes back to check six hours later only to tell me that I've ballsed it up and wasted a huge ammount of the company's money. Note again how long he left it before comming to check on me.
-
My reason to frown is the same as always, nobody notices my complete dominance of humanity, I guess my subtle takeover was a little too subtle.
-
i think i saw a 2 in there
-
Today's reason to frown:
The SVN and Jabber servers for a company I'm doing some work for are down, and I'm still waiting for a paycheck from them for the most recent work.
-
jabber is actually used.... amazing

I got turned down for a sysadmin position, after working my way through five interviews over the course of three weeks. This, after I had turned down a job at IBM due to the schedule preventing me from seeing my wife for the entire duration of the contract.
Joy.

I went in to uni for a tutorial which had been moved from 10am to 4pm. And I have a ton of work to do for my final year project.
-
Meh.. I can top all of that.
A guy at work asked me out today.
-
My reason - it's the third day of a >40 degree (ridiculously humid) heatwave and Western Power has banned the use of air conditioners...

I got out of the bed. good enough reason to frown.
-
New reason today. I just found out that I won't get my uni timetable until two days before lectures and tutorials start, so I have to turn down any job offers I get because of uncertainty of available hours. :no:

I heard about that on the news, dude. Hope it lets up over there.
Nico, how's that bad? :o
-
I like to stay in my bed. A lot.
-
Oh yeah, okay, that's a pretty fair reason. :p It's still Winter over there, too, what's the temperature like?
-
mmh, not too cold, hold on, gonna check.
5 or 6°C depending on sun/shadow. Could be worse, could be better.

That's "not too cold"? Dude, you gotta move to Australia. ;)
-
I'd love to, but not for more than a month :p ( I'm not a big fan of heat, being a true Normand :p ).
-
Come in Autumn or something (which is like, now). It's not too hot, even for you Normans. :D Seriously, I'm even trying to find Styxx a job... and Turnsky's not far away... that'd be a reason to smile. ;)
-
Hah! +5C
That's warm in this time of the year :D
-
You crazy Europeans. Seriously... some indeterminate time in the future when we hold the HLP Union (not Reunion, since most of us have never been united physically before ;)), I hope you guys don't melt. :D

it actually raineded yesterday. crappy place I moved too, back home the weather had the decency to stay below 0C the whole winter. were I to guess the temperature atm, I'd say -1 - -2 or something. not february cold, at least. not t-shirt weather, as it's been all the time now. don't think it's been lower than -13.
-
- goddamn possessed PoS fs2_open (1_20_2004 build) + S:AH combo -> INSTANT UNSTABILITY AND IMPOSSIBLE MISSIONS (yes, I am a huge nerd and I pray for death)
- none of my friends is doing anything this evening, means I just have to hang around at home and [see first part]
- no food + no money + no alcohol + low on tobacco makes Janos a sad boy
- It's ****ing February. Which means that it's cold and dark (though NOW sun shines and it's only -7 degrees C in shadow - that should change), and there are no birds anywhere - no reason to go outside
- I still can't model in TS3
-
Reunion, since most of us have never been united physically before
:lol: anyway I like Australian summer.
-
Today's reason to frown: None today. Maybe tomorrow.
-
When it rains, it pours.
The only other serious job lead I had dried up today.
-
Eddie, I have no sympathy for you.
Try walking to school in -30C weather, snow and a -40C wind coming off the North Atlantic. Thats reason to frown, but you probably wont be able to because your face is numb. I would have given my left testicle for 37C weather then...
-
Take your pants off, and you will.
Well, it'll feel like 40*C. Some would argue that hypothermia isn't quite the same thing as actually being warm, but I say **** them.
Reason to frown? Transfer applications. They suck and I hate them. I have to get out of this hellhole into somewhere properly unpleasant, or at least otherwise interesting enough to hold my attention, but it just so turns out that one of the wonderful features of lecture-based college courses is that you no longer have access to professors who can assign a face to a name, much less write a passable letter of recommendation.
-
By the time I got all my pants off it would have been 40C.
3 layers of clothes and I still couldnt feel most of my body.
The walking in that weather wasnt the kicker though. In the time it took me to get to school, they went and cancelled it, SO I HAD TO WALK BACK! When I left in the morning they were saying school was still open.
-
But you got the day off school, surely that's a large counter?
-

Two words. Severe frostbite.

Ah, whine whine. At least something can be done about it being cold.

Sure... if you have power, but in that kind of weather power tends to get knocked out pretty fast.
Its easier to cool off than to warm up.
-
I found out that I have to wear a formal suit for almost all of the meals at that science talent institute thing, so that's something to frown about. :( I'll probably just put it on right over my normal clothes. :D
-
Actually, I was referring to insulation. There's nothing you can do about extreme heat that doesn't involve power or a vat of liquid oxygen.

I'm moving back to Nova Scotia on Monday. I'll be withing driving distance of the North Atlantic.... After about 10 seconds in that you'll be nice and cool...
-
my throat is sore as heck... and I feel like I'm gonna loose my voice :doubt:
-
Gah, reason to frown is that I have band practice at 8pm today, which means I'm going to get home really late... but tomorrow morning I have family stuff to go too as well. So much for sleeping in. :o
-
I get braces put on my back molars tommarrow. Yay.
I also miss my history class, which pisses me off because I like it.

3dsmax has been rendering a scene all night, I wake up this morning, it's still not done. In the meanwhile, I wanna watch the recently released Naruto movie trailer ( which in fact ended up being a crappy 5 seconds catch line ), which was a real player file. I stupidely decided to install real playuer ( for many reasons I hate it ). So I install it, launche the trailer and... PC crashes. Weeeeeeeeee. A whole night of calcul lost. For a 5 seconds video :doubt:
-
My reason to frown. Last week sometime I managed to get a really bad case of poison ivy all over my upper thighs and I wake up at night scratching it like hell.
Last night I was awake until 3:30am.. (I get up at 5:45)
and...last night I decided to take my shower around midnight, so when I go downstairs I find the bathroom taken...I missed the first part of Conan O'Brien because I couldnt take my shower until like a half hour later...
-
I am going to be flogged.
-
I can't get my new motherboard/computer to work :(

:mad: Oh man, I totally empathise. I also have this unnatural hatred for Real Player... man, that sucks. Well, at least it's not like an oil painting that's screwed over, all we have to do is hit "render" again tomorrow night.
My reason's not so bad in comparison. I have this double-18th-birthday party next week that I've been waiting for ages for, but now it turns out the date they picked, I can't go, because I'm doing stuff with relatives. Blegh.

im starting med school on monday, i have to choose an elective that doesnt clash with the timetable that they'll give us on monday or else i fail my whole course before ive started, i have to travel three hours from my sydney home to get to school, i dont know anyone in my class, my room's a mess, i have to work out what crap my brother's recently loaded onto my computer, im going to be a doctor...
yeah, plenty of reasons to smile.

Feel your left hipbone. Move down a few centimeters. There. Now, the same area, but on the side of the of my body as well.
It's on my hip, but it's not quite a bone. It could be a muscle, but the way it hurts, it's either a ligament or a joint. And it feels like I'm smashing a third testicle everytime I run.
:p

We can't afford to start a club.
-
However, gangs are relatively free.
-
And, if put to good use, can even become a source of revenue.
I think the unemployed of HLP are probably a little bit too dispersed to organize an effective mugging, though. It really doesn't have the same effect when the big guy standing behind you with the bike chain is actually 1400 miles behind you emailing his threats.

*stand infront of an old woman with a knife*

snow today.
-
That's a bad thing?
-
yeah: that's cld, sticky, white, annoying, useless, ruins my shoes, block cars, basically, I can't see what's so cool about snow apart from it making pretty sceneries.

Makes a useful improvised weapon. Or a building material. Or a meal, when not yellow.

1) doesn't hurt, ice hurts
2) snow, a building material? sure, you can build snowmen with it :p
3) will give you the flu more surely than anything else
really, snow sucks.
-
I have a headache, and I'm at uni at 10 in the morning. And somebody managed to scratch a cut in my eyelid playing football on Friday. And we lost. By 13. And we're now out of the running for the league. And i have plastic burns off the rubber-crumb.
Oh, and if you live next to a big hill you will quickly learn to appreciate snow.

I used to go skiing when I was young. Even tried again this year. Don't like skiing. Everybody likes skiing? So sue me if I'm not everybody :doubt:

Actually, i was talking about sledging down the hill....or just sliding on a giant tarpaulin.
-
I like snow, but I don't know if it's in spite or because of I've never really been exposed to it (closest is sleet, no thanks).
My reason: did some driving today, left the handbrake on for about half a minute after heading off. Dad displeased... :nervous:

Thats nothing man. In high school I got an aluminium baseball bat hit me in the nose. Right on the bridge of it. The end of the bat. The bat was traveling in a straight line. My physics teacher got bored and took us out to play baseball. Some people should just not bother with sports at all. You do not let go of the bat halfway through the swing. If you've ever played Splinter Cell and used the Ring Airfoil you'll know what it sounded like just before, and as the bat hit me.
-
Your nose still work?
-
It looks and works normally, but I can feel a lump in in where the cartilege got smashed.
-
Pfff. That's nothing. You people should try playing football/soccer with some of my friends.
We play a 'no rules' variation of the game so every dinner time for over 2 years we'd all end up getting ****ed-up before going back to college.
There'd be people being tripped, punched, covertly bitten, thrown into walls and kicked in the face once they were on the floor. And more often than not, someone would get pissed and there'd be a fight.
It was all in fun though.

Its probably just flurries...

Yes, snow here, as well. Unfortunately, it immediately warmed to around 10°C here, so it's melting like mad, the roads are like slushy rivers, and they didn't cancel my classes, so I actually have to get out in this muck.
And Thorn, 'nuff bragging about your 3m snowfall. :p
-
Its not bragging... I'm just bitter....
-
my reason to frown: my gf has been sufferring pharmacological libidio loss for 4 months - had switched pills and it didn't work, then tried depo (three months effective one dose) and it turned out to be worse than the pill
meh

What does that mean in laymen's terms?

Thorn summed it up nicely
but explaining what i said - her Birth control has caused her to lose her libido -- it was Depo, depo lasts three months -- she switched to that from another one that was stealing her libido - to see if depo wouldn't have the saem effect -- depo was even worse that the other stuff
-
Well you better find some sort of birth control that works, because I would really prefer there not be more of you running around on this planet... :shaking:
-
you better just be giving me a hard time
-
He probably is, knowing him..
But **** man... Having a g/f that wants to go, but cant... ****... thats probably worse than not having a g/f at all..
poor bastard...
must be worse than dental surgery for you...

Well there's always alternatives I guess, if you're into those...

Apparently, Diet Coke is 90% effective as a spermicide.
But, er, not when drunk.

I'm glad I don't drink soft drinks. My sister's a dentist, though, that's why. :p
Blegh, today I slept in and didn't get to go riding around the hills today (by the time I woke up, the sun was too strong... I'd get sunstroke). I'll have to try tomorrow.
-
To me, that'd be a reason to smile, but heh :p

Awww, well, the fresh air over here is great to breathe and the skies are clear and the weather is absolutely perfect for some good exercise. It's Autumn now, so the weather's going to be less and less ideal for cycling. Exercise is good for you. :p

I'm all sore today from playing cricket yesterday, so I'm going to be a bit stuffed at band practice (my right arm in particular hurts, which is my strumming arm on guitar). I need a massage...

Whooo, today was exhausting. Orientation day at uni, I walked around the campus (about the size of a whole suburb on its own) for about 5 hours. My legs are all dead. (I guess they'd be more dead if I hadn't been cycling regularly, though.)

Re: Today's Reason to Frown.

@ vyper: very close to most of my lecture halls. The uni's biggest bar is practically right next to the education faculty (where I am). ;)
@ aldo: there's the catch. The University of Sydney's something like 150 years old, and they still have these old wooden benches which are harder than a rhino's butt. No sleep for me. :p
-
Gah. I went to band practice today, but there's this other guitarist who can't hold a rhythm, and he seems to think he's the only one in the group who's actually playing properly. The biggest problem of all is, he won't listen to reason and change how he's playing... bah. :doubt:

Well, that's what rucksacks or (if the weather permits) thick jackets are for. Good padding.
-
Yeha, it's gonna start getting colder soon, so that should be the go. :) On the note of uni, my first day was great, but I have to start at 8 o'clock - which means I have to get up at the ungodly hour of 5:30am. I'm retiring now.

Did daddy spike your Diet Coke (™©) again?
-
I like how he's mistyping with keys that aren't even close to each other. Gives it that authentic air... oh, wait, no it doesn't.
Seriously, what does faking drunkenness get you? Do you think we stop and say "Hey, wow, that guy on the Internet has alcohol! I've never even seen the stuff, mummy and daddy say it's an evil devil-drink of the devil and I must obey my parents! How cool and/or exciting is he?"
Hell, even if you were it'd be more like "Hey, you've got a hold of some booze, instead of going out and hanging out with friends or vomiting on the local landmarks you sit there alone and type incoherent messages to people on the Internet. How sad is that?"

I know I ****ing don't.
If anything, I type better c'z I don't delegate the typing to an automated part of my subconcious while my higher brain functions think about Zoe in that tight little bathing suit she wears to work and how her boo.................err.............Anyway.

anon: just take the job, then piss about so you get the sack after about a week :D.
Or get a job at a garden centre or diy place - easter season is the busiest time, and they're usually hiring about now. Try B & Q - I know they're taking people on now (I work for 'em). Crappy job, but the pay ain't too bad.
-
I was thinking of just sending such an appaulingly ****ty CV that Williams would just laugh and tell me to **** off.
And if I'm forced to get an actual job, I'm going for night-shifts, shelf-stacking at Morrisons.
It pays a stupidly high amount per-hour for a shelf-stacking job and because it's a night job I wouldn't have tp ****-up any customers for being dicks.
-
It's easy enough to fail a job application, anyway. Just hint at a poorly concealed criminal record, or take up a twitch during interviews.
The worst thing is, I know more about intentionally ****ing them up than I do about getting hired.

Haha.
"Well, I need the job. I've been hella-poor since I got kicked out of college."
"You were kicked out of college?"
"Oh, not for anything serious. I just had a disagreement with one of the teachers."
"What kind of 'disagreement'?"
"Well, he said my theories on infinites within polynomial differentiations were totally unorthodox, so I set his car on fire."
-
Heh. Me, I've been saving up "And why do you want to work at___?/ I want the rewarding experience I know this job can give me, I believe I can genuinely help people in this position, and I just need a few more hundred before I can get this sweet AR-15 subautomatic I've had my eye on."
Oblique references to cult membership or some hideous terminal illness are always good for the expressions they get when they figure it out, too.

okay, this is actually yesterdays reason to frown, but since my itnterntet is still down:
my bike is busted
my internet is shut down
my collection of old school work and my collection of carefully ripped mp3's are gone along with a partition on my brand new hard drive.
-
/Me Sunburnt today. Yelp.

Its snowing. Again.

My left leg's gone numb. maybe this is a sign? maybe i should finally kick my dog off my leg. meh i'll let him finish then give him a cigarette.

snow flies horizontaly

Better do something about that leg, Hermes. ;)
Gotta wake up at 5:30am tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after that. :shaking:
-
I can't seem to get the opportunity to be alone with a certain person so we can talk.
Most frustrating.
-
I empathise there. In fact, now that I think of it, I have exactly the same reason to frown myself. :no:
-
Knowing you, I'm not sure that's the exact same reason, but heh :p
-
Well, maybe not exact. :p But I know how frustrating it is when people are deprived of relationship, in all forms. Ain't the way people are meant to live.
-
Hangover.

i just botched my 127th suicide attempt.

Guys, this is really not the place for this kind of thing - the thread may be to vent irritations and so on, but this kind of thing is OTT. Please leave it alone.
-
i was kidding, seriously
-
Well, OK, but suicide is really not something to joke about.
-
He just doesn't wanna admit he botched #128, too.

I had a very good day, which paradoxaly depressed me.
I'm off to bed, cya tomorrow.

Agreed. Even if we are not seriously considering it at all, joking about it trivialises it for the people who really are thinking of ending their own lives, which is a terrible thing.
Tired, and going to be more tired tomorrow. :p Hope I don't fall sick again.
Ideal gases, KT? This is all I know about them:
[q]A gas that obeyed the ideal gas equation exactly under any conditions would be an ideal gas, but no actual gas perfectly conforms to the equation at all temperatures and pressures. Under the conditions of high temperatures and low pressures present over much of Earth’s surface, however, most real gases behave as ideal gases. Gases with boiling points below –173ºC (-279ºF), such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and the noble gases, come closest to being ideal gases. Gases with relatively high boiling points, such as carbon dioxide, obey the gas laws only approximately.[/q]
Yay Encarta! :D
-
Wow, today has sort of been sucky and not.
Alarm clock failed.
Binder's zipper ripped off.
Sick stomach this morning.
Left my english binder with papers at school over the weekend.
Said papers were due first period.
Chemistry test of death.
40 minute run in 90 degree weather, that was fun.
Now I have to go out and get school supplies and junk before comming home and doing homework and getting to sleep around 12, just to wake up and do it all over again.
On the bright side, I'm eating a cinnamon muffen, I might go to Best Buy, and I think passed the chemistry test.
-
Knight: running in 90 degree weather? been they're done that - i set my all time fastest mile time (5 minutes flat) at 93 degrees [and no, i cannot match that time right now, i'd probably be lucky to get an 8 minute as i haven't been able to work out for like... 3 and a half months because i've been busy)
Try rock climbing at 100 degrees with the sun beating down on ya
-
Oh, I know what it's like. Especially having started Cross Country last year in the summer, that's hell. I'm just *****ing because it's the first warm weather of the year and I'm not used to it. Plus I have a nice wife-beater burn/tan going.
-
Ah :D dusting off the hot-air lungs ... i hear ya
-
I've biked bout 70 miles such heat it feels like your throught is burning. water is your frend
-
Ja. I swear I had a centimeter thick layer of spitty-gunky dry mouth yuckiness on the roof of my mouth by the time we were done.
Running really makes you like water. A lot.

Oh man, I completely empathise. Riding is so much fun though, it's great exercise too.
KT: :yes: @ the cinnamon muffin! ;)
-
I've stunned myself on my car's trunk. I have a nice slash on the forehead now :doubt:
-
ouch
-
Aye, my day was suprisingly better than yesterday evening - when I got into a spot of bother with some evil bastard phone marketting company. Hopefully that's resolved but it screwed my evening over royally.
-
Today's reason to frown: I just smashed my f***ing big toe in a door and ripped the toenail off.
-
Too bad it didn't take the toe with it. Then you could put it in a jar of pickles. :)

-
Yeah, congrats Venom - you're now a WW2 vet. :D
Today, I'm just plain tired. Not really getting used to all the early routines, though I enjoy the mornings... still getting too tired, overslept my bus stop. :(
-
Well, all my scars are so glorious that I would die :doubt:
Like that one on the hand, nobody could EVER guess how I got that one if I didn't tell :doubt:
-
Dare I ask? I have a scar on my hand from when I snapped a big guitar string, that whipped back on my hand because of all the tension - that was a nasty one. How about yours, then? :nervous:
-
My scars are for the most part hidden - but they came as a result of a series of operations on my ankles to correct a birth defect.
Hurrah for Great Ormand Street hospital, says I.
-
[color=66ff00]I have a rather striking one on my forehead from where I ran literally head first into a television when I was but a nipper of 5 years or so. :)
My mom said two orderlies (hospital assistants) had to sit on me so that they could put the stitches in. *Feels all manly* :lol:
BTW Setekh what variety of guitar? An acoustic?

Was kid, didn't want to lend my tennis racket to some chick, she tried to take it from me using force ( the fool :p ), I didn't let go, so she scratched my hand to bleeding point.
I can't remember if she got the racket or not in the end :p
Girls... :doubt:
There's also that one when I tried to open a stuck glue pot with a cutter. I reaped a fair portion of flesh out of my hand. I'm sure not many people here have seen their own bones, well, I can say I do :p
The one I could "admire" ( when the water managed to beat the blood stream, that is ) looked white and healthy, should I add :p
-
*bow's*
I have one scar... it's on my cheek. Reminds me that cat's have a short temper time to times (I was a kid at the time though)

Ha! "Hold him down, he's too strong!"
Yeah, acoustic alright. I re-string fairly regularly, but to start with I had no idea how much tension I ought to put on. The tightness of a steel/bronze string, though, is incredible - hurt like nothing else I've felt! I'm glad I didn't cop it in the face.
Whooo, Venom, that's nuts. If that's how you fair in everyday life, don't ever go to war. You'll step on the battle field and snag your whole leg open on some barbed wire or something :shaking:
-
well, I'd get to look at my leg bones :p
-
Reason to frown: It's been 3 weeks since I've ordered my stupid AMD 2600XP processor. I ordered it on Friday, the 5th and was supposed to be shipped UPS Ground. By last friday I hadn't received it so I called the company and said they didn't have it in stock but were going to ship it on Monday (the 15th) and upgrade the shipping so I'd have it by Wednesday. It's now Friday again and still nothing.
If I don't get it by today, I'm calling the company and telling them that if I don't get it by Monday that I'll be cancelling my order and giving them a terrible review on pricewatch.
-
Sick, again, for the second time in three weeks..
****.
-
who did you order from
-
Today: I have two assignments (Maths, Software) and one 30 minute presentation (Education) due in university next week, and I haven't really started on any of them. I'm so stuffed, just got no time to do stuff anymore. :sigh:

Was the TV on at the time?
fortunately, my major scar (from driving a big tipper truck into a wall and cracking open me noggin) is hidden by hair..... Although i have a bit on the back of my head where the hair was burnt off when i was a baby...... which is incredibly bloody annoying as everyone except me can see it.
"Why's there a hole in your hair?"
"What hole?"
"There...."
"Where?"
etc.
-
[color=66ff00]THe reason I asked Setekh was that you should check the bridge and nut for any sharp edges, make sure the string slots on the nut are not too tight (gripping the strings) and make sure that the angle from where the string leaves the peg hole to where it hits the top of the bridge is not excessive. Both can cause string breakage. Then again if it doesn't happen too often it's nothing to worry about.
I don't know if the TV was on at the time aldo. As for the 'he's too strong' bit... you wouldn't like me when I'm bleeding... ;)
[/color]
-
Rebuttal originating from the wisdom of Sir Maeglamor of Greenscripte
[color=66ff00]THe reason I asked Setekh wast that you should check the bridge and nut for any sharp edges, make sure the string slots on the nut art not too tight (gripping the strings) and make sure that the angle from whither the string leaves the peg hole to whither it hits the top of the bridge is not excessive. Both can cause string breakage. Then again if it doesn't happen too often it's nought to worry about.[/color]
Yeah... :) Later I found out that the strings had wound up super-tight because they'd gone from a hot to cold very quickly (dropped 15 degrees in a couple of hours, it was a crazy day). I hadn't tuned up when I began playing, and so I didn't realise how much tension they had in them - then I started playing quite loudly, and it snapped. Lesson well learned. ;)
-
Well, tomorrow I have a day off uni because it's Good Friday, but I actually would have had a day off anyway - because I take Fridays off on my timetable. So I don't end up getting that extra holiday. :p Well, that's a pretty weak reason, but it has to be, because my day's going pretty well right now. ;)

I've had one snap on me before, except I had my hand across them, so the damn thing tore my hand open...
*TWANG* ****!!!!
-
I've seen that happen a few times. It's funnier when it's not me. :devil:
Heh, how many of us are guitarists actually? Seems to be quite a few...
-
I used to be... not anymore... Had to sell my guitar a long time ago...
-
Well, I can play the Guitar, Bass Guitar, Sitar, Tabla drums, Kaiko Drums ( though not for too long, you wouldn't believe how much those things hurt!), various other palm-drums, keyboards, Indian pipes (a bit) and I can also get a squeak out of other reed instruments. But then, I have an instrument fetish ;)

Bigots of all shapes, sizes and nationalities

Styupid ****ing AgentServer not ****ing working because the ****ing ****ty RMI call is buggy and the linear itinerary is equally ****ed. ****ing spent 7 hours working on 3 machiens to ****ing disscover that there's no ****ing logical reason for tghe ****ing thing not working, and I'm running hoirribly sodding late trying to get hte damn thing finished before my exams.
Natch.

I'am going kill someone!!!!!!!! ****ing teens who can't drive cars
I was almost hitted by car today when I was driving to home that would be that's man end who did drive that car
-
Yikes. Those are some pretty heavy reasons there. Glad to hear you're safe now, though... that is, unless the guy's still driving and chasing you... :shaking:
All I've gotta say is that even though tomorrow's Saturday, I have to wake up at 7:30am. Gahhh, my poor weekend...
-

I'am fine :) but that driver is not when I find who he is:drevil:

Reason to Frown: I really hate my legs I was today in doctor
and he found proplem to my lately walking proplem [dammit!!
just when everything was great :(
-
Ack! You're the third HLPer I've recently heard to have a serious health problem. Hope you recover, HIG. :)
Man, I turned on the TV today, and straight away I just heard about the bomb in Basra, and the train in North Korea. The world's a shocker. :(
-
Can I claim forth? When I was born I suffered from inturn on both my feet - it meant several months in and out of hospitals up to my early teenage years - strangely I then went on to win the 100m races on several sports days ;)
Admittedly it's not current.
Todays reason to frown? Slight hangover and it's an amazingly sunny (for England anyway) day outside. I'm at work now. Go figure.
-
Yowch, Kal. Well, glad you've gotten effective treatment for that. :yes:
Heh, on the note of weather, the Winter is starting to set in over here - it's getting colder, but nothing like England. ;)
-

thanks god it's not that big proplem it's just water in my leg [I don't know medical term) I'am going next week to hospital here doctors take that out:)
-
Todays Reason to Frown:
I still have 2 exams left to write! AHHH!!
-
todays reason to frown... I posted a nice working good quality 14" monitor to my friend and they broke it during the trip. Damned and I didn't even pay extra in order to get a "Breakable" mark to the package which possibly means no money back. Didn't think they would throw it that hard :doubt:
-
my reason to frown..
Artist/Writer's block... big time.
-
This sounds really lame, but my right-handed ring fingernail just snapped. :o That means I can't play fingerpicking on my guitar until it grows back... which is like, my prime hobby for leisure (aside from taking photos). Gonna take a couple of weeks to grow back. :(
-
Ouch, that does suck man - it doesn't sound lame at all, kinda like if my bike were to get a puncture or break - yes I'd lose an important method of travel but I'd also lose a lot of freedom that I enjoy with that thing. Good luck growing it back! (I don't suppose you could get a fake could you? Just a thought).
As for me... it's a sunny day outside and I'm stuck in work. I've also got a lot of university application forms to go through when I get home... so that's my reason. Small really - but irritating.
-
Heh, thanks. Yes, in fact I could get an artificial one and stick it on, but they're kind of expensive and I guess I could use a little break. Cheers for the good wishes. ;)
Uni application forms, eh? What degrees are you applying for? Yeah, I empathise with being stuck indoors... I got that very same feeling today, and I'll be the same for the rest of the week (though it'll be at uni rather than work). Hopefully you'll be able to get out and about in the days to come, since Summer starts in a week. :nod:
-
ouch, that does suck.. i remembered when i rolled my ankle once, (which is quite easy for me, since i have hyper-mobile joints) and couldn't go for my nightly walk (yeah, i'm kinda trying to get fit, instead of being a fat slob) so it was kind of annoying to be stuck inside a fair bit. the loss of one bit of freedom and all.
also from time-to-time, i have a benign tremor in my hands (i.e, they shake like crazy) so it's well neigh impossible to draw anything..
but right now, what's irritating me, is the severe lack of decent art supplies, i'm particular about what medium i draw on, and right now, even the local K-mart doesn't have those visual arts diaries i use for my sketches and comicing. instead i have to use some crappy sketchbooks with only 20 or so sheets of paper, and pratically no backing on them..
-
so, it's time for sharing one's malfunctions? :p
Well have nothing that requires me to have a constant following of my health, but I have a few very annoying things:
1) my sight is awful ( to be blunt I have 1 and 3... )
2) I have a busted ankle ( was kid, played football, kicked the ball, the guy in front of me kicked it too. we both kicked VERY hard, at the exact same time. Two kids down :p )
3) I have a busted back: right now, for exemple, I can hardly turn to my left w/o having a frigtening grin on my face.
Then there's a few other minor things.
