The Big Pointy One Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 So, as a few of you may know, at one point last year, I did indeed own my own house. As you may also know, I was trying to sell said house. As less may know, said house has been sold, and I have been since waiting to get my portion of the dough. Well, the other day, which next to none know, I got said money. WOOO! Yep, it's not a large sum (of which I will leave a mystery) but it works for me. I've been considering different things I can do with it, but the important thing is, yes, that's right, I bought my own computer! FINALLY! What does this mean for anyone who's actually reading this? Well, it means I will probably be posting more? Why? Because I'll always have this computer with 'net access *and* I no longer have to worry about an affliction known as 'pornogrpahic-popup'. It really sucks when you're trying to write out a decent post when all of the sudden your window disappears and is replaced with @*$(*&@(*&@)(#*#!(& and... well, I'll leave it to the imagination. Heh... did I get you to imagine dirty things? Ha! I'm so sneaky. Anyways, I just thought I'd share, 'cause that's what I do when something good happens. In fact, why don't we all share? Yes, how about everyone who reads this posts something good that happenned to them recently. Or, if you can't think of anything that happenned recently, try writing about something good that happenned to you in your life that you can remember with ease, and that makes you smile. Or something like that ^.^ Why you say? Because I like to imagine something like this would, as mentioned above, make people smile. Feeling all happy and mooshy-gooshy sometimes is a good thing. ^.^ Write on!
Vlad Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 It snowed, and school got dismissed an hour earlier. Which allowed me to make this post right now. ^.^
jonathan_wolfe Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 Class cancelled today, no paticular reason, which allowed me the state of mind to take the pen in at my Leisure and make this post
WrenWind Posted February 5, 2004 Report Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) Yesterday my sister and parents came to visit and we went out to supper together. It was a blast we enjoyed good food, good company and a lot of laughter Edited February 5, 2004 by WrenWind

Lady Celes Crusader Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 I drove in the Montreal area on my own for the first time of my life and survived.
Ayshela Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 mmm. it was a pretty nice, if insanely busy, weekend - and when it wasn't nice, i managed to stifle the urge to kill. two good things.
Alaeha Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 Gained suspicions that a former friend's boyfriend (who I insist vehemently is an invertebrate - sp?) may be scared of me. Was headed to the "rest"room (Whatever you want to call the room with all the toilets) as he was leaving the men's room. I swear he grabbed his broom (he works there) and bolted. Either he saw me or he thought he was going to be late for something. Either's possible. Either way it was funny.
Ozymandias Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 Found a gamer girl! ...and she's not single. Found another one! Here goes... ;>)

Tamaranis Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 I smashed my elbow with a snowshoe a lot harder than I though it was actually possible to hit something with a snowshoe yesterday... but I've got some of the feeling in my hand back now.
Peredhil Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 I am a member of the Pen is Mightier than the Sword. I have wonderful friends. I am alive.
Racouol Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 I am going on a much needed vacation Get to see my sister one last time before she joins the navy. Payday is a few days away.
The Big Pointy One Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Posted February 10, 2004 Peredhil, you cheater! You have to give us something we don't know already! ;p The fact that you are a (great) Member of The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword, that (we are proudly) your friends, and that you are alive (for a long time to come!) aren't things anyone would take for granted or anything... but give us some news! Did you see a penny? Did you pick it up? Did you give it to someone for good luck? ...c'mon! ;p
Peredhil Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 okay okay. Today, for the first time in nearly four years, I "saw" something well enough to write about it. Definitely a break through moment for me - I thought that part of my talent had gone into permanent hiding.
Yuki Kokoro Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 I went back to swim practice for the first time in over a year and survived! *in the midst of her joy she falls over backward and hits the ground with a thud and a whimper* It hurts, but I'm proud of myself.
The Big Pointy One Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Posted February 11, 2004 ^.^ That's the spirit, Master P! I'm glad to hear about it, and thanks for playing! ;P As a prize, I award you with the Chocolate Tree award! *Stick hands Peredhil a miniature tree-shaped chocolate* In fact, Chocolate Trees for all! Let's see those chocolatey smiles! *Stick hands everyone who has posted thus far a miniature tree-shaped chocolate* Seriously folks, thanks for sharing these little tidbits, I always find talking about even the smallest good things in life makes them seem that much better; and I always wish people's lives could be better, without making anyone else's worse ^.^ Feel free to keep it up!
Solivagus Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 Managed to go a week without sleep, without my work suffering
The Big Pointy One Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Posted February 11, 2004 Woah, that's smooth... I've only been able to do that for about 3 or 4 days... you get *2* Miniature chocolate trees! And hopefully a nap... ;p :tree:
