The Convexity Thread

[Serpentine]

The Depression thread is necessary and useful but also, well, depressing. Everyone's gonna have a low point in their day/week/year/life, but there's also gonna be high points. So howsabout a place to exhibit all your highs, victories, serendipities and small pleasures to counteract the gloom and doom found elsewhere?

I, for one, have just been told that I did not, in fact, fail a class my results say I failed Which is good, as I've never genuinely failed a class before and I'd prefer not to start now...

[RationalGoblin]

I've survived the day with little suffering. That's good enough for me.

But then again, a high point in my life was.. hmmm.. hmmm... Well, how about when, no, thats not it... Ah! The day I realized my true potential in life. It was glorious.

Quite honestly, I don't care enough to have bad or good days, except for a few tidbits a couple of times each week.

Perhaps I'm a bad example for this kind of thread. My life's great, but I don't treat it that way. In fact, I rarely treat anything as incredibly good or bad. I'm like a robot.

[zeratul]

It actually seems to be going well with the girl I like! I could see it going well anyway.

[Lemur]

I got to see someone use the word "convexity". That's good enough for me.

[ForzaFiori]

the chick i like recently dumped her bf.
thats about as good as it gets for me.

[Serpentine]

It was either that or "happiness", which just seemed camp I'm glad 'twere such a shining point in your day, though

[Aramil Liadon]

The raspberries are in full... eatableness, there are still a few strawberries left, I found my first ripe blackberry in the woods, the gooseberries are still edible, the sorrel is still not quite off and I don't mind that woody flavor that rhubarb gets at this time of year.
On a related note, I'm growing.

I also got my report card today!
95% University Functions and Relations (grade 11)
93% University Physics (grade 11)
85% Histoire canadienne - 20eme siecle (grade 10)
92% Computer Science (Grade 10)
So tell me mate, what grade am I in? And who's voice am I thinking of?
Yes, Barbossa. "So tell me mate, after killing me, what was it you were planning on doin' next?

[Yiel]

I get to leave work in 30 minutes! Definitely the high point of my day.

[mikoto]

I finally made honour roll the year universities start looking at my marks

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

Today I added a new word to my vocabulary. I call it "convexity". Since knowledge=power, I therefore became slightly more powerful today.

[Charity]

Ah but Deatho what have you forgotten today? eh.

I'm just plain old in a good mood today.
Depite being plain and old
Oh and I have the day off tomorow,
and I got to call Tom a northerner again,
and I find that certain terrible rumours are not true which is a huge relief.
and my female counterpart in the colonies (oh she's gonna love that!) is all loved up again.

keep counting those blessings folk.

[Rawhide]

It was either that or "happiness", which just seemed camp I'm glad 'twere such a shining point in your day, though

Try gaiety/gayety

[Khantalas]

It seems the gayest point in my life was right before I was conceived.

Things got progressively worse after that.

[Indon]

I learned what Convexity is!

Does this mean that concavity is having a bad day?

[Xerillum]

I made you a funnel cake! But I eated it.

[Dr. Bath]

I got myself a tablet (about a week ago)! Hooray for me! I have waited ages to gather enough money, and now it's mine, all mine! Bwaahahahaha!

Also, I ate some of my homegrown strawberries today, they were exceptionally delicious.

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

I tried a thread like this before, and it faded away into unknownness.

For a good feeling, I sometimes go back to my senior year of high school. Mind you, I hated almost every aspect of my life then. But that was the year we did Fiddler on the Roof as our musical. While I didn't get the role of Tevye, I got my second choice: Perchik.

To be sure, I looked like a dork during the brief dance number I had. I don't have two left feet...I have two left everything. No matter how much help I receive, I can't dance. But what I CAN do is sing, and the role of Perchik offers a semi-solo, "Now I Have Everything." (His romantic interest has a few lines tossed in during the bridge.) My ability to belt out this tune earned me the greatest drug on Earth: a standing ovation!

*pleasant sigh* The good memories are out there. I just have to look a little harder to find them.

[ZombieRockStar]

I also got my report card today!
95% University Functions and Relations (grade 11)

Good for you. I failed that class way back in grade 11 (for some reason, I was dead set on being a forensic chemist back then). Might've had something to do with the fact that I never did my homework.

Took University/College Functions the next year, did my homework, got the highest mark in the class. Go figure.

However, this year (3rd year university):
The English Romantics - A
Modernisms - A
Modern and Postmodern Conditions - A
Modern Drama - B+

Got a pretty letter from the university telling me I was on some academic achievement list somewhere...top 5% of arts students, apparently. *shrug*

[Ranis]

I finally saw a doctor who looked at my chest today! It's a good thing.

(My lungs are probably inflamed and there may be something wrong with my heart, though.....)

[Syka]

I got my first Greek test of the term back...92%. I was so terrified I failed it after I came out of there, but I was just overthinking everything.

The guy I'm dating is coming to visit this weekend (and is bring up a couple things I left at home, like clothes and my Social Security card so I can get a job). I didn't realize I didn't have my Social Security card until....yesterday. And I can't get a job without it. And I kinda need a job.

Um. I'm alive and breathing. I always see that as cause for rejoicing.

Cheers,
Syka

[CurlyKitGirl]

Got a letter from my best friend, just come back from volunteering at Rainbows and I'm eating my favourite meal; fish and chips. Also I'm reading an absolutely amazing book too. Small things make me happy. And I've added a new word to my vocab

[Narmoth]

I have gotten together a band. It's a parody of something called "arian black metal".
We had our first rehearsal with most members today, and it wen't well.
I have also denied a person who was more or less godmodding on the town-forum (he made himself invincible) the pleasure of defeating a baatazu. (well, this was yesterday). This was so fullfilling only because he was so annoying and tried some things that was just sad.

[Sir_Norbert]

I attended my sister's BA graduation today. It was wonderful to have the whole family brought together showing our mutual love and support, and I feel really happy for my sister and everything she's achieved.

My relationship with my girlfriend is just getting stronger all the time, and we both love each other very much.

So all in all, life is more good than bad at the moment.

[Arang]

I came here thinking the thread was about glasses. Still don't know what convexity is, but just yesterday, I got appreciated. Which felt very good.

[Serpentine]

Does this mean that concavity is having a bad day?

Well, it does mean you're in a bit of a low

I tried a thread like this before, and it faded away into unknownness.

I remember that one. I don't really expect this one to last very long, but while it does, it'll make me feel better ^_^

[MandibleBones]

I'm going home on two weeks of leave... TOMORROW. Needless to say, I'm pretty bouncy right now. (Also caffeinated, since I got very little sleep last night due to opening night of Potter V).

It's a convex sort of 24-hour-period.

[Ceres]

I'm happy Life is good. I haven't been really depressed for years, and it doesn't seem to change. I live in one of the best countries in the world, have everything I need. Have people I love, and people who love me. I feel invincible

Yey life!

[FdL]

Next week I begin my winter vacations from work, 2 weeks off.

And I still believe in love.

[Zephra]

I'm almost always happy. Today I found out that I might be living away from home in the fall. I love my family, but that's exiting. Everything's just great, no sarcasm. Things are going well for some of my best, best friends, too.

[Tom_Violence]

Ah but Deatho what have you forgotten today? eh.

Depite being plain and old
Oh and I have the day off tomorow,
and I got to call Tom a northerner again,

I'm from London!!



See the difference? Tsk. Just for that, I give you this (not for the faint-hearted):

My day is now good provided that at least one person's eyes were ruined by what just happened.
