Today's Unhappiness

In a (big) mug, mix:

- top it up with red wine
- a few smashed juniper berries (you can use 2 or 3 cloves if there are none of those available, like in Australia, but don't smash them) - you want to smash them enough so the smell gets stronger, but not so much that they fall apart
- a bit of honey


Heat this up in the microwave, but make sure that it doesn't boil (you want the alcohol). Drink it while it's hot.

You'll start feeling really, really hot, but once that subsides you should feel a lot better.

Now, what I came for: my bit of unhappiness. I just want to say, damn, growing up is tough.

I don't have any juniper berries, but I do have some whiskey.

Lol - it might even work too!

Seriously though, give that a try when you get home. It's pure gold. If gold were purple and tasted like YUM.

The exam period began !!

I' can't find a summer job !!!

My old friends turned their back and my other friends are abroad !!

I feel lonely !!

Don't get me wrong, twenty has its upsides. But damn, it's not easy.

Amen to that, you're technically not allowed to be an immature little shit anymore. And its half-way to forty which is extremely depressing.

Big heh at you lot being unhappy to be 20. I'd fucking die to be 20 again. Last birthday I got closer to 30 than 20. Now that is something to be unhappy about. I'm over it now though.

[Pygmalion]

Finally remembered why I moved out of home. Mother....trying to make me get a job.....ahhhhhhhh.......

[hasselbrad]

One of the warehouse guys is out with a bad back. Therefore, I have to cover the warehouse.

[Ranman]

Thats a good thing, a little exercise
won't hurt you chubby

[Leonie]

I'm unhappy cause I'm sad. And I hate there isn't anything I can do about it. Ah well, this is where we sing along with U2's Walk On as loudly as possible.

[Mandy]

*huggles Leonie* Don't be sad. It's bad for your smile.

My smile hurts

[Mandy]

I sort of know exactly how you feel.

On other unhappinesses, I'm unhappy because I *still* can't find a decent job.

[hasselbrad]

Wildfires are burning nearby. Thus, my allergies are in overdrive.
Not a good day to be working in the warehouse with two giant roll up doors.
Plus, having spent a fair amount of time in the burned out hulk of the old building, I am so over the smell.

[Leonie]

Dude, this is where you stay over at Marcia's place. Duh.

If 'where' is supposed to be 'why', it really wouldn't matter. This smoke is all over central Florida. It's so hazy, we can barely see across the parking lot.

You know, after I posted and re-read, I see what you were saying. It's that "place in time" there that you were talking about. Duh indeed.

As for unhappiness...Tom Sizemore arrested...again. He's on crystal meth, so I'm afraid he's moved near the pole position in Celebrity Death Race 2007.

I found a perfect sgian dubh but it is out of my price range (damn your black heart currency).

[Pygmalion]

I'm going to grow old and die all alone like Judy Dench in Notes on a Scandal and have young women take restraining orders out on me.

[Mandy]

My mom told me she wants me out of the house by November.

(For the good news, check the "Today's Happiness" thread)

[hasselbrad]

I'm stuck in the warehouse for the rest of the week. Boo...hiss.
