Good News

[feghoot]

I've been feeling kind of down lately, so I thought I'd start this thread to cheer myself and others up. The idea is simple, just write down one good thing that happened to you today, or something that you heard about that cheered you up.

I'll start things off. The father of a friend of mine was in a car accident, but everyone was ok. He didn't even need to go to the hospital from what I hear.

[loopy]

Youth group is on tonight. Being a leader and a friend to the girls is the highlight of my otherwise miserable and deceit-filled life. :smallbiggrin:

...Now if only the younger ones would stop falling for me. :smalleek:

[Shraik]

Sounds like a good idea.

I get to see Spamalot after last times incident

[Leper_Kahn]

Sounds like a good idea.

I get to see Spamalot after last times incident

Hey! I saw that. It's pretty good.

[Syka]

I got free food? And...um, yeah, some stuff I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention here (but I got it free through a campus group so it's not too bad...I just don't want to get in trouble). Free stuff is always good. As long as it's not disease. :)

Cheers,
Syka

Just bring a stick.

Also, you can't go wrong with spam-a-lot and free food.

[Haruki-kun]

Feghoot, I gotta say, I find this thread to be a great idea. :smallsmile:

OK. Today was a hard day but several good things happened. After an hour of desperately searching for an important document I needed for tomorrow, I finally found the link to print it out. Also, I think I did well in my recent exams. (even though one of them was really complicated).

[thubby]

i finished one of my high school courses early so now i have even more free time!
got a new army of good books.
got to lvl 61 in wow

[RTGoodman]

Good news, everyone! I've taught the toaster to feel love! Wait... nevermind. This apparently isn't a thread about Futurama. :smalltongue:


In other news, it turns out that the paper I was worried about having to write by Monday (while also being out of town until late Sunday night) only has to be 500-750 words (so about 2 to 3 pages), which I can knock out in an hour or two!


Also, in other other good news, I'm going to see Chuck Mangione in concert Saturday night. It "Feels So Good!"

[Em Blackleaf]

Uhmm... why is it that when asked for good news, I instantly think of bad news? Is there something wrong with me? :smallconfused:

Okay, okay, I don't know if this counts as "good news", but I Googled my username (for that thread over there *points*) and I found a whole bunch of old posts here from myself and others, and it made me all nostalgic. :smallsmile:

I can easily get more hugs from people in one school day than Krimm, which is cool because that's even when he's wearing a "Free Hugs" shirt. :smallbiggrin:

[Baerdog7]

Today I suppose I got a better grade on my math test than I thought I would.

[Sensate]

After skipping dinner and feeling dreadfully tired this morning, I found strength within me to persevere and do my cardio training anyway. Now I feel a bit proud of myself as I'm eating a bowl of oatmeal.

[Dispozition]

Errr...Good thing...Ummm...

I...Spent money? No, that's bad, I have little to none left now...Errr, wasted more of my life watching anime? No, that's bad too...

Nope, my day was full of negatives :D...Unless you count the 15 hour sleep...That might be a good one...yeah, that's good!

[Jae]

The goal seems all too familiar... :smallamused:

Hmmmm. Something good from today...my mommy said she was proud of me!
haha okay that was lame. but rly..

I gained some perspective. Im feeling a little less anxious, in that. But I'm also questioning things I wasn't questioning before, about myself. It is both a pleasant change and a rather horrifying one.

BUT WHOSE TO SAY :smallamused:

[Totally Guy]

And...um, yeah, some stuff I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention here (but I got it free through a campus group so it's not too bad...I just don't want to get in trouble). Free stuff is always good. As long as it's not disease. :)

Heh, that reminds me of my last Uni visit I made. They gave me some free condoms and asked if I wanted a free Chlamydia test.

I asked if they were "taking the piss". And they were! They had a lab and everything.:smalltongue:

[DarkLightDragon]

Weekend! Freedom! Sleeping In!

[Nimuialwing]

Good news, hm... I did that google username too and my website was on top, even though it's not open for public, so that is good.
Another good thing is that I decided to come out of just lurking on this forum.
Oh, and another good thing is that the spambots haven't defiled my weblog with spam yet, at least for today.

So, I guess that is all good news :smallsmile:

[Emperor Ing]

>_> <_<
no bad news in sight for me. :smallsmile: :smallconfused:

[Phase]

Good Grief I've had a long week.

TGIF

Thank Grapes It's Friday!

[Cobra_Ikari]

...I passed an exam with 40 points higher than the second highest grade? Which is resulting in people confronting the teacher about his awful teaching method?

...I don't know that that's really a good thing for me, but it'd be nice if it means that the rest of the class can pass, too...

[Lolzords]

My mum left last night to go to trainign for her job so she won't be around til 8:00pm saturday night.

I'm not an arse, but "house to myself" woo.

[Totally Guy]

Good news, I made a post in June 2007 that turned out to be right. See sig.

[valadil]

A friend I hadn't spoken to in a while just contacted me to offer up spare tickets to a concert tonight that I couldn't get tickets for on my own.

[Pwenet]

Good News!

For $25 each I found the perfect frames for the prints that arrived. Better yet the lady at the store framed the prints for me there without charging additional money. Even better the frames and the prints look GREAT together.

Better news - I recovered from CurlyKitGirl attack on me last night.

[Telonius]

Woohoo tax return! I might actually be able to afford the 4e books now.

[Glaivemaster]

Good news: I asked the girl I like out for lunch and she said yes. Bad news is I'm not sure if she realises it's a date or if she thinks it's just a friendly thing. I'll have to confirm that some time. It's a good starting point though

Also good news: I got to see some people who I hadn't seen for a while today and had a laugh. Bad news we didn't really spend long together and the person I most wanted to see left after only an hour

Oh well, there's always some bad mixed with the good

[Arioch]

I got the marks back for my final piece of GCSE coursework today - now I have no more extra work, only the exams! Even better, I got an A*, meaning I have almost 25% of my English GSCE mark in the bank already. :smallbiggrin:

[Quincunx]

Good news: I finished decorating some envelopes to fill with tea bags and send to friends. (Try it! Tea is light and inexpensive to send.)

Bad news: I have lost, when the last HD fried I would guess, the addresses I meant to send those envelopes to.

[Zakama]

I'm spending the night on a restored WW2 submarine tonight! Woohoo!

[FireFox]

@^ I know which one, is it your first time on that sub?

[truemane]

Well, I got a raise that I didn't ask for, completely our of the blue. Good times.

And last night my writing went obscenely well. I wrote over three-thousand words in just over an hour. I thought the word counter was broken. So I finsihed a Chapter two full days before I thought I would.

:smallcool:

[Zakama]

@^ I know which one, is it your first time on that sub?

O_o

Is it...
The USS Cobia?
Yes it is my first time, and how do you know that? Have you been on it or did I blab it somewhere?

EDIT: After a little stalking, my suspicions are confirmed, you live about 80 miles from me. I abide in Madison.

[Telonius]

Mrs. Tel just got a job interview! Two pieces of good news in one day now. Hope I'm not stealing mojo from anybody...

[reorith]

i got paid today, so i purchased a toothbrush.

[FireFox]

O_o

Is it...
The USS Cobia?
Yes it is my first time, and how do you know that? Have you been on it or did I blab it somewhere?

EDIT: After a little stalking, my suspicions are confirmed, you live about 80 miles from me. I abide in Madison.


Heh, I have been on it twice, and plan on going back. There is only the one WWII sub in WI, so it wasn't that hard a guess :smalltongue:

[feghoot]

Today I unlocked a new fighter in SSB:brawl. I think that that was the last character.

Edit: nope, still need to get wolf.

[Moff Chumley]

After picking up a guitar for the fifth (?) time, I jammed for two hours with my friends. I didn't play guitar the whole time, (and this is the best part), I got to use a Continuum! (I.E. keyboard dork's wet dream).

[Mr. Moon]

I got a free sandwich from a friend, and got to try some Japanese candies. Did you know that they sell cherry flavored kitkat bars for the Sakura festival? They're so good... ^_^

[Da King]

I finished my first two squads of Imperial Guardsmen for 40k.

[Hell Puppi]

I fancy myself as a bit of a wine lover, but I'm pretty poor.
For 3 years I wanted this one wine, but it was a bit out of my price range.
When I was able to afford the wine, I couldn't find it, i thought it had run out.

Finally found it two days ago


3 years of wanting, 2 years of searching, and now I'm drinking it :smallbiggrin:

[EmeraldRose]

Today is our little spawn's 5th birthday. :smallbiggrin:

We're hopefully going to be moving to our new house next weekend.

I have a very large mug of coffee (as the aforementioned spawn was wide awake at 6:15, due to it being his brithday :smallwink: )

[Felixaar]

Good news, everyone! I've taught the toaster to feel love! Wait... nevermind. This apparently isn't a thread about Futurama. :smalltongue:

Beat me to the quote. You magnificent bastard.

Uh... good things... well, I got three croissants cause we cooked too many (and they tasted delicious), I've got my weekend now (monday-tuesday) and I'm playing my (currently) favourite music.

edit- @^ I can't help but wonder if my parents ever called me their spawn. Rest assured I shall do so to my hypothetical (and unfortunate) children.

[feghoot]

Yesterday I got together with my friends and had a BBQ. When I came home I won a heroic victory in Rome: total war on hard difficulty.


Here's a tip boys and girls, don't march your hoplites up a steep hill whilst under heavy fire. :smallbiggrin:

[Sensate]

Alas, I was lazy and I hadn't studied much today. But, otherwise I had a pretty relaxing day: I read about a hundred of OotS comics (I'm catching up), had a nice walk, had some tasty food etc. You might call that day pretty standard, but it's a good day in my book nevertheless.

[feghoot]

Today I ate tacos. :smallsmile:

[Susil]

Kudos for the thread idea... It's kinda cool to think back over the day and find some good news to relate, makes you look for the positives!

Hm, thinking... I know, I went out and played badminton with my flatmates, getting me the first real exercise I've had in, well, too long, put it that way. :smallamused:

[Sensate]

Today I ate tacos. :smallsmile:

Me too! What a great day :smallbiggrin: .

[feghoot]

Yesterday I was really sick, but today I'm feeling much better

[Vaynor]

Yesterday I was really sick, but today I'm feeling much better

From the tacos?

[Cobra_Ikari]

From the tacos?

On a related note, I just ate tacos. Mmm, breakfast at 8 PM.

...I need to start eating more often. >.>

[feghoot]

From the tacos?

Nah, it was a virus that's been going around.

Today I ate some solid food and played SSB on my wii.

[Susil]

Yeah, I could go for some tacos right now....

I got a nice check for £70 cashed into my account today, yay... beers all round!

It should be mentioned that as a stundent money going IN to my account has somewhat of a novelty value to it...

[Gem Flower]

I did REALLY bad on my music test, but today we got this awesome easy music project that's worth 60% of my mark! Yay!!!!!

[Player_Zero]

Nah, it was a virus that's been going around.

Today I ate some solid food and played SSB on my wii.

Since this is a good news thread I won't say anything about my hatred of any particular delay which may or may not have anything to do with the Europe release day of Brawl...

Instead I'll just say that today I performed great deeds of mathematical import. Who knew that inverse hyperbolic integrals could be so easily expressed or that Newton's improved numerical method of determining the function of an equation from its differential equation was just as simple as expressing the differential in terms of a power series... :smallsmile:

I also won a game of mario kart.

[Glaivemaster]

My friend who I haven't talked to properly in a while signed online, so hopefully we can finally catch up

[Sensate]

One rather difficult task is behind me now - I have passed the Organic Chemistry test; only 2/3s left to finish off this exam.

[Castaras]

I've spent yet another day being able to talk to someone I love. That's good enough news for me. :smallsmile:

[The Rose Dragon]

I've learned that I'm, in fact, not a spineless antisocial coward. That's a good thing, right?

[Zar Peter]

I bought me a new pair of Inline Skates today so I can show my kids how to drive with them (my first pair broke together after I didn't use them for about 10 years)

[Glaivemaster]

Went out for a friend's brithday meal and had a laugh.

Also, managed to walk into the local game store and pick up a copy of the new Dark Heresy supplement (the third time I've managed to coincidentally be around town on the day that something I've really been looking forward to is released when I didn't know it would be)

[Darius Midnite]

What a neat idea this thread is. I sold a painting today, for a nice amount of money too. That should keep me going for a while. Time to work on all the other orders.

[Aereshaa_the_2nd]

I started a new game today! (making one, not playing:smallbiggrin: )

[SilentNight]

The band I'm in got into the Monteray Jazz festival. woot:smallsmile: . Umm, not much else, I'm a little depressed at myself right now.:smallfrown:

[Vuzzmop]

Ummmmmm, yeah.

I....just had a bagel?

I guess good stuff is about to happen. My comedy band Cactus Inc are part of a schoolwide competition on monday. One step closer to world domination! And then destruction. Maybe some heart breaking, I just don't feel that into it at the mo.:smalleek:

[Jimp]

Today I ate a delicious bagel. I hope to eat another delicious bagel tomorrow too.

[Sucrose]

I've managed to put in a half hour at the gym today, which has increased my Miles total for the Walk Kansas program. Also, I thought that I had lost my homework for my chemical engineering course, but managed to find it just in time to turn it in! I spent hours on that sucker, so I'm very glad to get credit for it.

Today's actually been pretty great, once I count my blessings; this thread is really a wonderful thing.:smallsmile:

[bibliophile]

Good news? I don't have a reason to be sad!

[feghoot]

Yesterday my internet was down, so I watched Dial M for Murder for the first time. Two thumbs up.

Edit: Also, I thank you all for your feedback, its really cheered me up. :smallsmile:

[Sensate]

In about an hour from now I'll be going to Pizza Hut with my best friend for a dinner/catching-up convo. That qualifies as good news.

[feghoot]

Today I watched An Evening With Kevin Smith.

[Zarrexaij]

I saw A Clockwork Orange for the first time yesterday. I was so interested in seeing the movie because I loved the novella. Well, it was real horrorshow.

In other words:

OMG. IT WAS ****ING AWESOME. BEST MOVIE EVER.

I'm glad I'm going to get it for my birthday- at least I hope.

Another on the brightside is that I'm almost done with a painting I need to finish for AP Studio Art. All my paintings are due the 9th.

[hobbes543]

My mom finally hung up :smallcool:

[Nychta]

This thread sounds great.

Today, I got in contact with an old friend, and spent about 3 hours on the phone... we had a really good chat.

[Sucrose]

I managed to get through a full chapter of thermodynamics homework today, putting me a good week ahead of my class; this is especially good, as traditionally, I don't bother very much with homework that I don't need to turn in.

[Quincunx]

I've drawn out two shakes of the death-rattle from the loving throat. Good work from my own don't you think?

[SilentNight]

My band took second place at the aforementioned Monterey Jazz festival.:smallbiggrin:

[feghoot]

Today I spent some time with my brother.

[Haruki-kun]

I had a good weekend, overall. :smallsmile:

And the game I'm gonna run in SMBG Forum seems like it's off to a good start. :smallbiggrin:

Also, I've been getting better at making stick figures. Which sounds sorta weird out of context. XD

[Sucrose]

I've begun work on my lab notebook for Analytical Chemistry lab, and finished my report in the same subject that's due this Tuesday. Also, I got to talk with my parents today, and that's always nice.:smallsmile:

[BizzaroStormy]

Lets see, good news... ... ...spring break, oh wait, ankle break as well,... *Cries*

[Nychta]

I'm almost over my cold.

And you guys made me smile.

[feghoot]

New Oots today!

[lumberofdabeast]

I beat Green Grass and High Tides (Hard Drums) on my first attempt, with over 400,000 points. 98% notes hit, 600-something note streak. My leg wasn't even sore at the end of it all.

My current MSN display name reflects this.

[Mooch]

My RC airplane will be finished tonight.

[xPANCAKEx]

i finally conquered a route at the climbing wall thats been giving me hassle for the last 3 weeks

[Kjata]

I just ran a 5 30 mile. Hell yeah.
