humanperson832 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 1. I finished and turned in this video re-edit that has been hanging over my head for a few days now. One step closer to being done-zo with school.2. I got a whole page of photos in the special edition of the local paper that hosted my photojournalism class, where most students only got a half-page. Maybe I'm not a hack with a camera after all!3. I'm taking active steps to recognizing my worth and making sure it's visible for anyone with two eyes or brain cells to see.4, just because I'm feeling especially good right now: This really complex, technical story I was assigned is finally taking shape. Just in time, too, 'cause it's due on Friday at noon. Quote Link to comment
Gilfren Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 1. Tomorrow is payday, yet I have a full fridge already 2. Its effing beautiful today3. I've never been a baby person. At all.

tseecka Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I almost wish that we had a commiseration thread to go along with this one--for whining and complaining when our days are absolutely headed down the toilet. But I guess that isn't really in the spirit of NF, is it? So instead, I'll try to find 3 things to be happy about today: 1) I got invited to a dinner party at the home of an incredibly talented artist that I was lucky enough to meet at the con last weekend, along with my girlfriend and the friend that came with us. Hurrah for making grown-up friends to do grown-up things with, without giving up fandom squee! 2) I wore a fancy shirt to work today instead of my usual t-shirt (still just wearing the jeans though) and I feel pretty. 3) Looking forward to heading out to the forest tomorrow afternoon for cosplay photoshoot! I want to wear my Arthur costume all the time omg Quote TseeckaLvl 2 Amazonian AdventurerSTR: 8 DEX: 5 STA: 3.5 CON: 6.5 WIS: 6.5 CHA: 1.5 "When you have eliminated the impossible, what remains, however improbable, must be the truth."~*~Exercise daily if convenient.

I-Jo Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 LOL that's the whole point of this thread- to focus on the positive things- instead of negative. That in and of it self is a mind set- and you gotta focus on that!!! Quote Link to comment
tseecka Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Fair enough--but sometimes it is nice to get certain things off your chest in a supportive forum And "just stay positive" doesn't always do the job. Not saying that forcing yourself to see the positive in a day rather than the negative is a bad thing, or that it isn't helpful, but sometimes the two just don't balance... I went to a retreat once where they told us, "Don't see your problems as obstacles, see them as opportunities!" It's a great thought in theory--"I feel crappy about myself, so I'm going to use that to motivate me to go to the gym" or "Work s*** just hit the fan, so I'm going to prove to myself and my coworkers that I am adept and super-skilled and fix this!" are two examples I've used more than once--but sometimes things are just completely out of your own control and there isn't anything you can do to better the situation. Anyways! I don't want to drag this thread down, so I'm going to dig up another three things! 1) Iron Man 3 comes out today!!!! 2) There are officially less than 2 weeks left until my vacation!!! 3) I just found Nenya and Yarya in Angband--I may manage to beat Sauron yet! (Though I want to find Anduril first...lol) Had to add a 4th--one of my coworkers brought in food from his homeland (Turkey) for everyone in the department! Homemade tandoori chicken, kabob, and a bunch of other stuff I don't know the name of--delicious!

I-Jo Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 nbah I hear ya- I use my battle log to vent a little. Seems safer and who wants to read can read. noms- I love M.E. food. I eat at a Lebanese place as often as I can- my BF's family is Syrian/Greek- so we get some good food- well I do- he doesn't like it. Love me some home made Taboulie!!! Quote Link to comment
Tarmac Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Today's 3 - before they become "yesterday's 3" 1. After an exceedingly long week, I get to spend the entire day tomorrow with my girlfriend. Moreover, I'm grateful she hasn't found the gift I left in her car yet (she took her nursing school entrance exam this week, and I hid a small gift in her glove box - while I was hoping she'd find it on her own, I did want to see the look on her face)... 2. Tomorrow's excursion involves a visit to a tattoo shop (her), followed by a foray to a cell phone store (yay, upgrades for me, considering my 4S has been through the ringer at this point) and Iron Man 3... 3. I was able to get out of work earlier than planned, and actually got in a really nice ride this afternoon.

humanperson832 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 1. The rain. It sounds weird, but I had plans to lay by the pool today, had it been nice enough, but it's been raining all week. I know I wouldn't have brought my CommLaw book to the pool, so it's really a blessing in disguise that I have to stay in and study.2. I'm going to a cookout later, hosted by my photojournalism professor at his house with all the other students in the program. Very excited, even if it won't be a cookout so much as a mid-afternoon gathering with indoor cooking. Happy to see everyone before graduation goings-on, where the tears will flow like wine.3. I'm going to a roller derby bout shortly after with my roommate! It's on my Athens bucket list, happy to cross another thing off. Okay, so maybe this is just a list of things I'm doing today. But I'm grateful for each one of them, so...? Quote Link to comment
Maria Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 1. I won't have to adjust to waking early to go to my new job tomorrow. (It's Sunday, after a wedding, and I still woke before 7AM. :/) 2. Sleeping in the cellar of the party venue, instead of driving several hours to get home. Very thankful! 3. Spring is coming!

Gilfren Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 1. Tonight is class #20 of pure barre, which completes my 6-week challenge goal 'early' 2. I have a weak backbone. Not literally. But I don't often stand up for my opinions.. I let 'em rip this weekend and feel good about it.3. Last night, I heard something fall in my house. Normally, I'm terrified and hide under the covers... this time, I got up and investigated. Hardcore me. Quote Level 2 Wood Elf.
