...Bob's entry #6

This week had a lot of ups and downs, but mostly downs. I was so stressed out last weekend, because I had so much stuff to do, but I thought I didn't have enough time. I finished everything today, and all I have to do is my studying for my finals.

I found out that my first term paper I wrote in college, I got an A-. I think the big reason for that is all the writing I did due to my old When Vacations Go Bad fic I did with Teef and Kuro a while back.

Yesterday was an interesting day to say the least. Bowling alone was very interesting. 2 people on my team were making a big mess. One kept on overflowing his glass of beer, and another spilled his Jack and Coke, while breaking the glass, getting all over his towel. Imagine getting the oil off the ball with a towel filled with alcohol! My games were pretty good, except for my last one. I had a 148, 183, and 123. It brings my average back to 147.

Yesterday part II: Keep in mind that my roommate has been treating me like crap ever since I got back from Thanksgiving break. He was being a jerk, and I flipped out on him, since I couldn't take it anymore. He needed to know that he can't walk all over me anymore.

Well today is my mom's birthday, so on sunday I will go to the mall nearby and get her something. Shhh!!!! Don't say anything!

Msjones' entry #3

Yaay! I'm done with uni for the rest of the year! I did my Law presentation today, with Jes, and I was also meant to be working with a girl called Jo, but she's had a lot of presonal problems lately and has gone home. We only went to court to listen in on a few cases on Wednesday (we were meant to go a lot earlier!) but I thought it was really interesting. We had to discuss what could and could not be reported if the cases we heard went into the newspapers or whatever... very boring... Jes bought me a drink beforehand and we sat in 'The Shed,' the student bar, for an hour beforehand. I think that was a little bit of a mistake!

On Saturday I decided to not do the research, and go see a film instead. Just as I planned, I went to see 'Brother Bear.' It was really sweet, but as it was a kid's cartoon, you didn't get to see any real action, like when the hunters kill a bear. One of the hunters gets turned into a bear himself and looks after an orphaned cub called Koda. There was some really sad bits, and I was crying. A woman sitting on the right of me was in tears too, and a little girl two seats away was sobbing her heart out...

Sunday I went to the Lincoln Christmas Market with Toni and her friend Andrea and Jane, her mum. I had a German hotdog (which gave me heartburn all night and most of the next day) mulled wine (which was still boiling when I got it, I swear! ) and four hot donuts. Mainly we were just wandering around looking at the craft stalls, but I bought a ton of candy, including a box of vanilla fudge each for my parents, Malibu and Tia Maria truffles (I hope they're ok in my suitcase!) sugared almonds, honeycomb, aniseed balls, peanut brittle... all the old-time sweets which are never as good as they used to be when my parents were young. I also bought a new plush dog, which I've named Taylor, after my little friend... Against the fantastic backdrop of Lincoln Cathedral, all lit up (which I've never seen that close-up) I had three goes at a 'score over eight and win a prize' darts game. The guy was really nice to me -- he said I was a natural at darts (I have never played before, but I used to watch 'Bullseye' -- a darts game show -- every Sunday at my nan and grandad's) As I said, I had three tries and scored SEVEN each time. How unlucky is that! I also had a packet of cinnamon flavoured glazed almonds, which are the best-tasting food in the world!

I gave Taylor his Christmas card this morning. It's a musical one which plays 'Jingle Bells' when you open it up, and it has flashing lights, too! He put his face really close to the lights and sat watching them, hypnotised, when Tracey held the card up to him. He's just learnt how to crawl now, and is already getting pretty fast! I'm going to miss him when I leave tomorrow!

God, I knew I forgot something...

Dagger's 4th entry

WELL FOLKS, I made the so-called cheering squad.
Some of the other girls were really disappointed they
didn't make it, so... I try to take this as seriously as I can.

But I'm not as hyped up about it than I thought I would be.
I even felt like quitting at one point, but yeah.

My classmates pushed me into joining, and they'll keep on
making me stay too. Plus, they scaaary.

I asked to be a substitute, anyway.

Well, more on what is happening lately..
We've been practicing non-stop since last week.
...THEY were, anyway. I skipped Tuesday-Friday.
Which pissed some of the girls off. But yeah, screw them.

Our first game's this Thursday.

Family - No comment.

Love life - Can it get any better!? ^__^
Ozzy and I are still as lovey-dovey as ever.
We talk about.. pretty much everything. And as a result,
Operation Distancebreaker!! We're working on it, and
I can honestly say that on my part.. So far, so good ^^

Err.. but I forgot. I'm trapped here for 2 years. ;
But anyway... Once I get my Green card, I'm outta here.
It's gonna be the greatest mission to be completed.. ever.

Vacations at last!
I was starting to become sick of school. Everything is running very well, except for maths...you should know that I have messed up maths since I was in 6th grade.
Well but the problems arent the grades, its just... dont know, guess myself.
I came late to every class, the past two weeks. And I missed sports 4 times now, I think that the teacher thinks I just dont want to go to his class, so I am afraid that my grade is messed up (I expected to be the best boy, but I am not sure about that anymore...[why am I interested in beeing the best anyway?])
In these two weeks, I just had the feeling, that everything went wrong, so I was a bit pissed of all day.
But that is over now! Free at last! (for three weeks )...
I will enjoy these vacations, you will hear from me when they are over.

Aether's next entry:

What can I say? Christmas is pissing me off and it's not here yet. Apart from the incessent carols (on the tape at work since the start of November) and the idiotic customers, my brother has been his usual selfish personage and spent about $20 on gifts for the family and about $200 on his girlfriend....Big fight the other night

On my brother, his girlfriend's uncle died the other day and her MOTHER asked him to stay to console her (the mother, not the girlfriend). Does anyone else find this even the little bit disturbing?

Christmas lunch at my place isn't going to be the disaster I thought it would be as a few hams and turkeys won in a raffle will do. I'd better cook them the night before though. I went from going to my cousin's new house to feeding about 20 at my house in the space of about two days....go figure.

Apart from all that, nothing much happening until next February when I go to Uni and start my first year subjects. My defferment year is up, so I've got to start on the net leg.

[Veev]

It's been awhile since I last put one in and so much stuff has happened since then, so.....

Veev's journal entry #7:

I exchanged Christmas gifts with a few of friends, and the funny thing is everyone got a calendar, but me. I got a Simpsons mug, Simpsons poster, Front Row ticket to the January 12th episode to WWE RAW, and a gift certificate to the mall.

Well I am on my winter break which means first semester is over! I ended with a 2.61 GPA. It's goos ocnsidering it's first semester, but my goal is to get that up to 3.00. I have faith that I can do it!

A few weeks ago, the doctor advised me to start working out. I've started around 2 days ago since that was the first time I was actually able to. I'm feeling a little sore, but it's normal. One of my friends is training me and he says that's normal. The best part about that trainer is, he's free! Here's what's in the workout: 50 stomach crunches, 3 reps of 10lb weights for each arm to workout the pecs and triceps then 3 more to work on the biceps. I'm mainly working on the upper body. I'll go running when the weather is nicer. Pretty soon, I'm gonna look like Brock Lesnar.

That's pretty much it.

Bee's Entry #6

Tch, I'd just like to state that I hate alcohol. I really really really really hate it & I hate what it does to people. I finally figured out a few days ago exactly why I hate it & won't touch the stuff. It stems from my family. When I was little my mum & I lived really near my great-aunt & great-uncle, and every Friday night we'd go spend the evening with them. I liked my great-uncle, he used to play with me & stuff, but on Friday nights he got different. He'd start out really nice, but as the evening went on & he drank more and more whiskey he'd get nastier and more vicious. I'd get told off for practically anything I said, & quite often Mum would cut me off mid-sentence by pinching me, because she knew he'd start yelling at me for what I was going to say. But if he didn't start on me he'd start on my great-aunt & make her really upset, and sometimes Mum too. I hated it. But that's not always the way the evening would go. When I eventually learned to shut up when he started drinking, they'd enjoy themselves and Mum would drink too. And my abiding memory of her on those nights is her saying "Give us one for the road" "Go on, one for the road" "One for the road" "One for the road". Those words echo in my head so often. And then, when we went home, she wasn't herself. She wasn't abusive to me or anything, but she was different. I couldn't talk to her any more because she was strange. Obviously at the time I didn't fully understand what alcohol does to you, I just knew that every Friday night I'd get put to bed by someone who'd changed, & was a hybrid of my mother and someone else.

Heh, why is this coming out now? Because since we moved to this area we've made a lot of friends, and obviously friends equals social gatherings with alcohol, particularly at Christmas. And for the majority of this Christmas my mum has been flicking between being herself and someone else. It's been..really difficult. Flashbacks. Memories of events & feelings that I really do not need to relive. Seeing her like that just scares me and makes me feel horrible.

So yeah, I hate the stuff. Sorry for rambling on- I just needed to get it off my chest.

Other than that, things went smoothly enough. Nice presents, nice food, etc. And I got to see my cousin, who I don't see enough of. He's an archaeologist & he's great.

Apart from that, not much else to say.

[Sylverline]

Tired

Hmmmm...is this number two? I forgot =\

Anyway, not much is happenning in life for the Kat. I'm still trying to plod along...with a dead wrist.

It's always been pretty weak since an accident I had way back, and now its been grabbed one too many times and is now twice the size of my right one - so I'm kinda sore, kinda miffed...Ok I lie.

I'm pissed off

So yeah I ingored it and tried hiding it as normal and I was fine. Then the person I was talking to left for a while and I ended up 'snapping' because I was on my own - something I'm not that keen on =\

He came back and I changed. I started snapping and being cold. I still feel it now but oh well. So I think I've fucked up.

Meh. At least I've been accepted into Huddersfield...which isn't really good, but it's progress.

EC's Entry #1

So. Almost done with midterms. Don't think I tanked any of them, which is a good thing. I need to bring up my C in history, mainly so my parents don't get mad at me. I hate how they blow everything completely out of proportion all the time. School is important. It isn't the only important thing. A C in history in one quarter doesn't mean I'll be working at McDonalds for the rest of my life. Or at all. Can't stand that place. XD

I mean, I'm finally happy. I actually have friends, I go to clubs, all that. I was planning on running away a couple times last year. My parents were worried about me because I was never really happy. Now I'm decently happy, but edging into compulsive liar territory because there's so much pressure to get A's all the time. How come they hardly ever congratulated me when I did get A's? If it's just going to be taken for granted, there's no point. I wasn't doing it for myself.

Wow, that was a lot more ranty than I'd planned. XD

[antman]

antman - rantman;

Dentists suck I go last week to have a cavity filled in, and he finds another. I get booked to come back and have that one done. Tuesday of this week, I'm back, he starts, but then can't finish cos a gum kept bleeding so now I have a big hole in a tooth until next week when i go back again *sighs and shakes fist*

[Letara]

Forgot to post here...
So this is Nr.2:
School: Boooring! My grades are great, but still... boooring!
The rest: Love. I am a little confused about it, because I have the feeling that everybody around me is falling in love, myself included. Normally that would be great, but now I discovered that two of my best friends are in love with the same girl. So that is messed up. The one says that the otherone should take her, because he has no chance anyway and the otherone doesnt want to take her, because he fears that, that would destroy their friendship. If you ask me, that girl is not worth their friendship, but I am not the one in love with her. So I am trying to clear things up without breaking anything.
Drugs. I hate drugs. They destroy the people I love. I am talking about smoking, alcohol and weet. At least I have convinced al lot of people, to stop smoking, or at least try to. So I am very occupied helping them, because I know that they cant make it alone. I became a vegetarian and the girl I love stops smoking too. I never thought I could resist meat, but this is worth it.
I think thats it. See ya around...

[Shadow-Poet]

i'm new, but in all the other forums i've been at... they spammed at these thread, just to get them closed. i am so happy to be here, but here is my story. last year around may i was feeling pretty good, besides the ups and downs of friends teasing me. i had a big crush on a girl, and then she came out and said she did too. my heart leaped and i was in joy. but every joy comes with a price it seems (like final fantasy, gotta pay for them, but boy they are worth it). in my humanities class, we decided to go see a movie for a field trip, that teacher was amazing... the second movie we saw that year... and this girl came over because we were basically car pooling, and right before we left she said something that broke me. "i'm moving to texas". texas. i live in PA. Her dad got a great job there, and he had been out of work for like 3 years. i tried so hard to be happy for her, i did! but it was worthless... that began a new era in my life. i like to call it misery.
__________________________________________________ _______________ It was summer. i spent days with friends, nights at home, doing whatever going where ever. And then i went to camp, acting camp, shakespeare. i told my friends there. but it was 2 weeks, and that wasnt enough time for them to help. so even before that i used a forum called "battlegrounds" that was for an online game call SFO (streetfighteronline). i made my ground breaking thread. simply called life. people loved it. or it least the people that posted did. it helped. but then came the spam. 400+ posts it accumulated over what... a month. later it was closed.
__________________________________________________ _______________
This year everything changed, and not to the better things. Jounior High. your friends are on other teams, new friends dont care, nobody you like, and it all goes down the drian when you're the real mature sencitve kid that everyone picks on.

well thats my misery story in a nutshell. anybody need some help? i'm good with that, both the parents are psycologists.

EDIT: not comments? please?!

[Shadow-Poet]

ahhhh, i dont mean to double post, but i dun want to have to edit, this needs a whole new one.

Shadow's 2nd entry

GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! today i was sick, i had off from school cause of it. i was feeling emotionaly alright, phycially crappy (i still am). but i would go onto POL (playonline) for chating (POL is used for comp to play online SE games ex. FF XI). this was fine, i would have a time chatting and not thinking about me being sick. but then maybe 2 minutes ago i went back on to chat. i went into a room, chose my font color and started to talk.
__________________________________________________ ____
well, my color was already chosen, and we all like our individuality, so i chose a different one. i started to say how i came to chose my color that i had before (purple) and no one cared. my new color was a blood red. some one called me a shit face and it all went down from there. it was like being at school, people not caring.... the black spiral of negitivity..... none of them cared about how i felt.... and i do.... i care about other people... i keep anger inside because of that.... just so i can be nice and a good person, which sets me up for people to pick on me. so right now, help me.... i really need some people to be kind to me right now... please?

[ERROR]

ERROR's first entry:

Hey people, I have only just found this so im making my first entry .

Straight to buisnees then - Last night i went down the pub with my mates, as im 16 I just played pool while I watched my mates get pissed. I felt a bit left out so I got Ally (mate) to buy me some booze from the shop around the corner. So I ended up drinking
when we left the pub. We went to house party too. It was quite funny. I watched this guy hit on this girl that diddnt even like him... he wouldnt give up and it just got funny arfter a while.

I stayed there until 5 am. I woke up an hour ago 2:00 PM.

When another glimpse of a social life bursts through i will write it up.
