Yay! Yuss, Abi, MCR does make people UnSad. LOTMS made me very UnSad, from the first time I watched it. It still makes me happy now, even though I've watched it a thousand times. I remember once Mary-chan and I were having a sleepover and we stayed up till all hours watching LOTMS because it made us laugh so much. And I will always thank Mary-chan for introducing me to MCR, because they truly did change my life.

Thank you for that. It really means a lot to know that I helped to make you happier :arms:

For me, that song would have to be Waterfront Dance Club by Funeral For A Friend. There are some weeks where I just fall into routine and I feel tired, and I just can't see the point any more. And then I can listen to Waterfront Dance Club, and all of a sudden I feel alive.

I loved this
It made me grin so wide.

I'm was going to write about a couple of bands that changed my life
I don't think you'll mind if I still do - it's just they're really important to me.

Oh. And that's great about your Grandfather. X)

Don't worry, darling! I shall write you a chapter. In fact, I shall write it right now.

My Grandma's had her last dose of chemo for now. She's in remission and is feelineg so much better.
I owe you so much for having this story up. I've re-read it all so many times I almost know it by heart. I don't know what I'd do without it.

And I'm so, so happy for you about your Grandfather :arms:
It's really awful about that guy though. But if he's going to break up with you like that, then he wasn't evern worth your time to begin with. You're better than him, and you can do better than him.

I'm defnitely going to write you a peice too.
I feel like I owe someting to you and to this story after everything you've got me through.

And... I just realised. It was through this that I met Abi!
We turned out to live really, really close to eachother - like, in the same town. And without this I never would have realised!
So I guess I owe you even more now. Abi's an amazing person and a great friend to me. Wow, it really is amazing how much reading this has - without sounding too cliché - changed my life.

I'm gonna be writing one for you :con:

:arms:

I might write a chapter of this cause I have a really good way to make myself happy :)

Just another hug. To say thanks for the UnSaddening.

I hope you continue this when you feel better, because it got me through last year with a smile on my dial, just because I felt that someone on the other side of the world cared, even though they didn't have to.

So here's to you, Alexandria Precie. Peace and Love.

I'm sorry that all that sh*t has happened to you and I'm also sorry I'm really late reading this.

This might not be what you want to hear but, if you keep thinking about things that could have been a big mistake or might not you might just start regreting and overthinking everything that you have done and will ever do.

If that was not what you wanted to hear then just ignore that whole part up there.

I hope that there is something someone has said or done that has made you feel better, if not some one somewhere will do soon. =)

Sister Asleep:

Oh, and I thought I'd add.
My grandma's getting better. The cancer's going into remission, and although she's not going to properly recover, she feels better. She has one, possibly two more doses of chemo, and then she should be okay for a while.

Just thought you'd like to know.
:arms:

Now that's something to make you UnSad. Although (I hate to cast a shadow over such good news), two of my friends' mothers had cancer, were in remission, and then suddenly died. One of them died just last Saturday. Not so much the UnSadness there.

Today made me kinda unsad.
We had a snow day. It's the first time I've ever missed a day of school 'cos of snow, and it's the first time my current school has been cancelled since the 1970's.
I've built an 8 foot tall snowman and had a four hour snowball fight.

But I guess all this isn't really making you unsad. Hmm...

Eat cereal. That's what I do when I'm sad. Eat lots and lots of cereal. My favourite is Special K, but I don't know if you can get that in America-land, so anything will do.
Have about half a pint of milk on it, and eat it with a tiny spoon.
And don't let anything distract you from it until it's all gone, or it'll go all soggy and gross. Then leave the bowl for someone else to wash up :tehe:

Play very angry music very loudly. Although that's probably better for when you're mad at people than when you're down. My personal favourite is PS Don't Write by Pencey Prep. Does the job nicely.

If you have a guitar or something, learn some new songs and play them super-loudly. 'Cos then you're doing something productive too.

Bake a chocolate cake and ice it pink and yellow.... Don't ask, but it'll probably make you smile. Especially if you do it with a friend. It'll make you laugh and such.

Face paint is also good. Doesn't really need an explanation.

Have a hunt around on myspace and find some new bands. Always cheers me up.

Talk to me on msn if you like... susannah.lewis@talk21.com

And if all else fails, imagine Pete Wentz in a tutu.

:mrgreen:

Here's DubDub's personal guide to making yourself UnSad:

Sit in a tree. Trees are your friends.
Hug a tree. Trees are your frieeeeends...

Hug a cat.
Hug a sheep.
Hug your grandfather.

Watch Whose Line is it Anway? It always makes me laugh so hard the tears run down my cheeks. Ryan and Colin are the perfect pair, the kind of friendship they have is something I've always wished for.

When you are like me, doubting everyone and believing you have no friends, all you can do is dream. So dream. Close your eyes. Turn off your mind, relax and drift downstream.

Read Twilight. I never thought I'd be advocating Twilight usage (it's a drug, honestly), as up till two weeks ago my view was "I would not go near Twilight with a long sharp point stick," but quite honestly it's the perfect romance. Just insert yourself into it. You'll feel better in no time.

If it would make you feel better to read (haha I meant to put hear, but my fingers decided to be correct) my complex love life, here it is:

Scott and I went out last year, but he decided something just wasn't right. However, I still really like him and he still really likes me. But I've started at a new school, and there's a guy in my Japanese class who is really cute... And I'm sort of over Scott, but I don't know how he would feel if I was going out with another guy. Because I did tell him I really liked him.

So my love life is complicated, yet frustratingly nonexistant. And yet... I like it. It's nice.

AND I started at a new school, yes, so I'm the "mysterious new girl," and I'm basically silent in class except when I have to give an answer (and I do that a lot because, quite honestly, I'm smart), and I hang out with my best friend from primary school at lunchtime and so none of my classmates know anything about me (except Ben, but that's because he had to interview me in English).

Why am I telling you my life story?

ARE YOU UNSAD?

XD

I am, just reading what I'm writing.

I'm just a little bit CRAZY!

Heheheh.

Happy new year to you to!

I hope this year is better for you... You totally deserve it!

You inspire me a whole lot, you know that?
You make me want to go out and live every single day to the full, and put everything I have into what I do. So I owe you a huge thank you for being there for me this year, and here's to a better 2009 :arms:

I brought in the new year with three people who I met through mibba. We all came together for one concert, despite living hundreds of miles away from eachother. We queued in -3 degrees cold weather for over 3 hours to get to the front, and sang along with every song. I came out of there with bruised ribs and a huge smile on my face.

And I wouldn't have had it any other way.

your messages are always inspirational and i can't help absolutely loving every update.
i've had hard times too, and you kinda help me through some of them. i thank you with everything.

fer cereal.

this year, i saw the one-year anniversary of my brother's death, i saw my father getting married and going into rehab for drinking, i found someone i love more than anything, and i'm going to see him tomorrow. my parents and i have gotten along better this year, and i saw four shows in three months. i realized that some people are better friends than i thought, and some people i though were worth it.. well, weren't after all.
i spent weeks with my friends who i rarely get to see, and we had a lot of fun together.
i got to meet my favorite band, find more bands, and meet them too.
i wrote a 24-part story that i'm still working on, and that's the farthest i've gotten with posting on any story i have.

thank you for inspiration and help through hard times, and happy new year!

This past year,
I got dumped.
Had a boyfriend and got dumped again.
I went on camp.
I went to Japan.
I made friends.
I lost friends.
I saw my friends with my enemies, having fun that I had never had.
I felt jealousy more intense than I have ever felt. So intense I didn't know what it was.
I felt guilt and embarrassment so intense I wanted to die.
I was confused and exhausted.
I carried on.
I realised... things are not always as they seem.
I found out exactly what it means to be the bigger person.
I found out it doesn't always make you happy.
But I also found out it's the best thing in the end.
I realised I am not as worthless as I have always been told.
I stopped being so hard-out fangirly.
I accepted my friends' faults.
I came to terms with my friend's smoking.
I found something new to be obsessed about.
I wrote my first fan letter.
I found a reason to live.

And most importantly,
I am now UnSad.

Thanks, Alexandria. I love you. Happy New Year.

I just found this and I'm so effing happy I did.

It's not at all like anything else on here.

To put it simply, I effing love this. You have no idea how many times I am going to re-read this after finding it.

Sister Asleep:

And today Grandma was diagnosed with incurable cancer of the bone marrow.

I was just talking about this with one of my friends the other day. She said she wanted to die coughing up blood (she's very sadomasochistic) and she said, "Maybe mesothelioma or something like that."

I just looked at her funny for a minute and said, "That's bone cancer."

I have to tell you, you hit all of these things right on the mark. I don't remember who told me about it, but I appreciate it.

And have you ever found a song that makes you cry for a good reason, 'cause it's just so darn sweet? I always cry during happy moments or something cute, or whatever. This morning, the guy I love told me I was beautiful and I nearly cried. I was just so happy.

forserious.

And Taylor Swift's song "Love Story" makes me cry every time I hear the lyric, "Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone." I want someone to say that to me someday. Or something like that.

When I was 12 weeks old, my grandma gave up work so that she could look after me full time while my mum went back to work. I've stayed with her at least 3 days a week, often more, ever since then. I'm pretty much closer to her than I am to my actual mother.

And today Grandma was diagnosed with incurable cancer of the bone marrow. Her chemotherapy starts tomorrow. SHe has to take 24 tablets avery morning, and she's going to lose all her hair. That's only a low dose to get her started.

And all this is just to slow it down and buy her a few more years.

So I just wanted to say a huge thank you, for making me laugh when I felt like never smiling again. ILY.
