Post about how happy you are and the good things going in your life.

    Original post 
After going over a week wondering if Poison and I were still a couple and if he was safe, he contacted me last night. After that I had a talk with my father and sort of told him about the plans Poison and I have, but stressed that we're not going to do it until we're at least in our mid twenties, and he was very happy.

Sonic Generations, my first self-christmas gift(the other being Mario Kart 7) arrived today, along with Rayman Origins, which I can't play until the big "X". My Lady Gaga concert Blu-Ray movie(Over two hours long with an amazing set list) is on its way, and next week my complete Harry Potter Years 1-7(8 pc) Blu Ray set will ship.

And finally, I'm getting back into writing. Inspiration has struck and I'm working on my book, my play, my screenplay, and I've written three more songs. Not only that, but I'm back to painting and drawing. I've realized that the reason I can't create art I'm happy with is because I'm an abstract artist. When I experiment and strive to create what I feel, I'm finally happy with my work.

Eh, I'm blissfully content with myself and more so, seeing other people around me being happy, as circular as that sounds.

The emotions of others can seem like such well guarded mysteries, people 8egin to 8elieve that's how their own emotions should 8e treated.

Well, bad things didn't go down, so that's good.

Also, due to collective withdrawal of labour (man, I'm never going to stop using that), my school is shut due to strike action. tomorrow!

A seriously important professor just wrote me an email saying that he enjoyed reading two of my papers and would like to meet me! grin

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

Thanks! A part of me is a bit worried — one of the papers builds on some of his work, and I keep wondering if he's not going to tell me that I have forgotten to cite properly some of his papers. I don't think I did, and I spent quite a lot of time researching what had been published before, but who knows...

Eh, that's probably just paranoia.

It's great that things have been getting better for you, Tendo!

Yeah but I genuinely know how you feel. I've sent articles of mine to my favorite journalists and gotten a positive response. Seriously, that's so cool[lol]

Let's see here...

I'm secure in the knowledge that my friends care about me, I'm watching Fairy Tale (which is amazing), and I'm determined to get to writing my planned webcomic.

take a screenshot and black it out or something.

I had a poem of mine published in the library's circular once. Does that count as being a published author?

There's nothing specific going on but I just enjoy life in general. There's so much to do and learn, and humanity in general is pretty awesome. The only problem is that I probably won't live long enough to do everything I want.

Solution: Become a vampire.

And don't just aim for "better than Twilight", go for like, "better than Dracula".

Become a vampire lord and rule over the night with an iron fist.

go ahead and do every stupid thing you can imagine

"State paper", if I understand the term correctly, means.. a document that your state will use to define its policies? That's really quite huge! Congratulations!

Quick, post something unpleasant!
I finished eating my box of cookies. I wanted to leave some for tomorrow's breakfast, but I felt that I needed to celebrate the good news somehow. But still... my house is now tragically cookie-less sadtongue

Thanks — I had not heard of the term before, and I hand to check it on Wikipedia. Silly English Language with its confusing compound nouns. tongue

No no, it's a state newspaper.
Ah, OK grin. Well, congratulations! My brother works as a journalist for a tiny local Italian newspaper, and I know that it's a very difficult business to get in...
