The few people I've told to play Lusternia all stopped because they said there was too much reading. Looks like we're a select group

If anyone in this game is like me, they can read two 1000+ page textbooks in a day and actually understand them. I find this game mentally stimulating, and a nice replacement for those people on the outside who feel that reading means looking at the pictures in Vogue and having an intellectual conversation means talking about how cute that guy's/girl's butt is who just walked by.

Man, that guys ass was sooooooooo cuuuuuuuute. Never seen anything better!

(I kid.)

Being ill. Yuck. I liked it when my head wasn't pounding.

Also, despite the fact that it shouldn't be a problem, I always feel guilty that I can't play Lusty at weekends. When I come back on Mondays I log on and go - I missed so much *flail* I fail as a (whatever character).

I have SO MUCH SCHOOLWORK due this week. Two papers, 5 pages long each, due on Wednesday, two midterms on Thursday, and a paper that's only due Friday via e-mail because I had to e-mail my TA and beg for him to give me an extension, so that my Thursday would not be a paper and two midterms.

Additionally, I can't afford to skip any classes except perhaps one lecture tomorrow in order to work on these things. This means that I'll be able to do my calligraphy homework for 2-3 hours tomorrow after 11 AM, study for an hour or two, go to my 2 hour long calligraphy class, come home at 8, and scramble to revise my two papers that I'll hopefully finish tonight, and then try to study some more.

Oh, and I have class Wednesday from 10:10-12:30, then from 3:35-6:05, leaving not so much room for continuous study for my Thursday midterms there either. *panic* I'm so screwed.

Holy crap, that's a lot! Um, um, I hope everything gets done without any hitch! And... and... have a hug.

Family.

There is no such real word. There's only a group of people who are loosely similar, only through law or blood. They do not have to love each other, be kind to each other, or care about each other. They can hate each other and make each other feel like for no good reason.

Love.

Something from the past. A fleeting emotion that exists very briefly, and may manifest between two people who are very affectionate to one another, but in terms of the falsified "family"... non-existent if the person the love had originally stemmed from has passed on. An illusion of it will exist only to benefit one's self and screw over other members of the falsified "family".

Happiness.

Unachievable by those deemed unworthy. You'll know if you're deemed unworthy, because if you were happy, it was for such a brief moment in your life and something happened to destroy and negate it completely.



I'm being thrown out of my house because I started crying when my stepdad screamed at me over how angry he is at my sister, her ex-husband, and his mother, and he was expecting me to make it better somehow. I have till Saturday night to leave.

I'm not very good at making people feel better, so until Noola comes along with a post full of sunshine, I'll just say... I hope you get through this okay.

To add on to the pleasantness, my ulcer got even with me for being upset, and I had to change my clothes.

AKA: I puked.

Come2Mag... I mean, the South. We love our family here.

Myrkr.

Sadly, these apply to me as well, although I'm not in as bad a situation as Myrky by any means. I'm just depressed.

Hope everything turns out okay Myrkr

Dude. *hug* I hope it all gets sorted out.

Wow, Myrkr. That's really rough.

Do you have somewhere to go? If so, maybe it's for the best? It sounds like it's a kinda sucky place to be anyway, if you're getting thrown out just for getting upset. Anyway, I really hope things work out for you!

Failing my Exam #1 in CS1110.....but! if I do better on the final the teacher said he would replace my Exam 1 grade with my Final if it was better.

Either those textbooks have very little in actual text, or you are the world's fastest reader, or there is option C.

For Mykar.

I am sorry that you are having such a hard time with those you call your family. Been there done that myself so I know what its like. It is hard and no, its not fair. But you know what, while you might not believe it now ... what you have now is a very brief time. You can endure it and you will survive it and in the end you will be better off. Family is not the random group of people who have dna in common. Family are the people who will go help you at 3 am when you call cause your car broke down at Wal-mart, not the people you might receive a random Christmas card from once a year. You know where you stand in that house with your step-dad, your mom and anyone else that is there. Never forget that, because it is something worth remembering. Not everyone has to learn it, but you do. People can say they are sorry and whatever ... let it go in one ear and out the other. It is wrong and you deserve so much better, everyone does. Be strong.

So I shall now close, but leave you with two things. I wish I could claim them as my own, but I ain't that good with words.

Failed my algorithms test today too. It was quite difficult.

Option C being that it was, of course, an exaggeration and meant to encourage the anal reader for over analysis.
