The Friday Five

[Horus]

I found it too!!! It took me a while to actually figure out. I kept reading that whole little piece over and over again (and it was actually very good.) because I thought it might be there, but it's not. I know what the R in Kenneth R. stands for!! That's another great mystery of life I can cross off the list. Now, onto figuring out what WLOJ stands for.

Alright, Friday's not for half an hour yet, but I'll be leaving early tomorrow to go see my birthfamily again for a few days (OBX here I come, woohoo! Ya'll be good for JayDub while I'm gone or I'll sic him AND Deron on you ), so here are this week's questions:

1. What is the one outfit/piece of clothing/accessory you own that makes you feel incredibly good whenever you wear it? Why?
2. What do you do to make yourself feel better when you're in a funk?
3. Has anyone ever surprised you in a way that let you know you were special? How?
4. When you are having a "good day," how do you spread the happiness to others?
5. What is one thing that puts you in a bad mood, no matter how good you were previously feeling?

I found it, it was really easy to find it too. Now my nightmares are over!

But why did you have to bring up WLOJ now? Now my headaches will come back.

1. What is the one outfit/piece of clothing/accessory you own that makes you feel incredibly good whenever you wear it? Why?
2. What do you do to make yourself feel better when you're in a funk?
3. Has anyone ever surprised you in a way that let you know you were special? How?
4. When you are having a "good day," how do you spread the happiness to others?
5. What is one thing that puts you in a bad mood, no matter how good you were previously feeling?

1. My beanie. I've had it for 5 years, and it's served me well every day.
2. Make music. (Not play it, I mean actually coming up with new stuff.)
3. Yep, my bandmates once told me that I have the most musical talent in the band, and they can't come up with ideas, so they said they rely on me. (Personally I don't believe that they're trying hard enough.)
4. Arr! I keep all me happiness to meself!
5. My computer always does the trick. In fact, it's the only thing in my entire house that would put me in a crappy mood instantly.

1. None. Though after I have to start wearing black pants and a proper shirt regularly I'm sure I'll appreciate my jeans and CoTM polo shirt a lot more ;D
2. Listen to music. At the moment my first choice would be For The Love Of Art And The Making by Beyond Twilight.
3. No.
4. Like War_Blade I send out a general positive vibe.
5. Any action by a select few that gives me a feeling of worthlessness.

1. Either my combat boots or my Dream Evil shirt. I just think they're cool.
2. Listen to Zeppelin, Van Halen, Rhapsody, Blind Guardian or ESPECIALLY Andrew WK.
3. One time a friend, who I think can absolutely kill me at anything involving music, asked me to write out my Meltdown solos because he wanted to learn to play like that. It was really cool.
4. Try to make people laugh, with mixed results.
5. When someone acts like an asshole for no reason other than it makes them happy to bring someone else down. *cough*mybrother*cough*

4. Smile a lot
5. Other people who are having a bad day always bring me down, especially those who cope by snapping and flipping out for no reason.

1. (Combo) My Legend of Zelda t-shirt and blue jeans. Not only do they look great together, but the shirt reminds me of happy times in my childhood.

2. Listen to my fav. music and play my axe and bass!

3. After speaking with a former co-worker of mine at a previous job, he let me know how much my absence was felt with everyone and how good a co-worker everyone there thought I was.

4. I seem to open up more and talk more to people around me.

5. Thinking about how past "friends" pulled the rug from underneath me. But I'm doing better in getting over shit that should stay in the past.

1) My cross necklace. I bought it at an anime convention, of all places, which I went to with my cousin after her friends who were supposed to go with her had a change of plans. It's slightly goth-looking, and I've never seen another one like it, which I like...especially since not all of us believing types are cut out of the same mold.

2) Go play with the cat. Sometimes take a nap with the cat. If the cat isn't available, I might call my mom or watch mindless TV until I cool off a bit.

3) After a major project where my group and I worked our tails off (including an almost all-nighter) for 3 months on, one of my group members bought me a very fancy business-card holder with my name on it. I was totally, completely floored, as I hadn't expected or ever asked for something like that. Especially since they'd been the ones to generate the original idea...I was more the sounding board and number-cruncher (It was bad. I dreamed Excel spreadsheets, and there is no worse nightmare.)

4) I'm not exactly sure. It's usually such an in-the-moment, spontaneous thing that I couldn't say what I'd do next time I'm really, really happy. (NOT to be taken in an emo "I'm never happy" way! I AM happy fairly often. )

5) People who have to get nasty with their political or religious opinions. Having an opinion = fine. Ramming it down my throat or calling people names who disagree = BULLCRAP.

1 - A wicked shirt I bought from Tesco's that I wear when I'm out on the piss selling my metal soul to mindless garage and RnB crap because there is absolutely no metal scene in this bum town.

2 - I depends on the funk, if angry I'll beat hell out of my drumkit with some old Blind Guardian or Iron Maiden, if sad I'll wack on some comedy, perhaps a little Billy Connelly or Peter Kay to take the piss out of life and stop taking things/myself so damn seriously.

3 - Yeah when I failed my driving test for the fourth time my instructor said 'You're an especially crap driver aren't you'. That was before he mysteriously flew off the M10 overpass.

4 - Nothing because I find it unbearably patronising when people attempt to spread happiness to me. Happiness in the West is a transient state people go in and out of dependent on their external fortunes or ego gratification. I say to you 'your hair looks great today' presto there's your happiness for a good few hours, its easy and false, a bit like Christina Aguilera.


5 - Being fucking put on hold by technical support call centres only to be transferred to some place in India where they take you through such priceless nuggets of wisdom like 'is the computer plugged in to the appropriate socket?, 'have you tried pushing the on-switch?'. Oh thank you Raj you solved all my problems, you see I was having a picnic in the woods and I thought by plugging my PC into an old Willow tree it would work fine, thanks to your expert knowledge I now know that wood is not a viable conductor of electricity. Tossers.

FYI that's the Brits who spell the word that way. We Americans understand you just fine.
