Good things come in threes

lokifanMy parents visited me on Sunday. Not only did that stress me out, and incidentally mean I couldn’t attend a meeting to try and get in on the student union’s radio station, they also give me some distinctly unwelcome news. They’re the ones who pay my living expenses, since I spend the loan on my accommodation. Since they’re not doing too well financially, they’re going to decrease it from £60 a week to £50.
Of course their jobs are stable – they work for London university and the C of E respectively – and the reason they’re not doing well is that they did building work so my sisters would have a bedroom each. And they know I got scammed recently. And – *stops self before she starts to rant*
Right. Time to post about the happy things that have happened to me lately!
I got a Skyehawke account! Isn’t it pretty? I love it! I keep going over whenever I’m online, just to look at my official-looking SKYEHAWKE archives account! :)))
I was v surprised (and bothered with myself) when I realised I didn’t post about this when it actually happened. But it has, and it is marvellous. All hail
lavillanueva! Another good thing is the very, very lovely Christmas cards I got. Thank you
original_lie and dripping_cherry! (I am praying I have got that right. If I’m wrong, please please tell me.) I love 3D cards, so I was super-chuffed! And the sparklies in your envelope, original_lie, will be ingrained in both my memory and my carpet forever. :DMuch as I try to avoid cliches: good things come in threes! This is the third ‘good thing’ in more than one way, so this is clearly true. Check it out: another award nomination!
I was nominated for Best Slash (!!!) at the Rogue Poet Awards for What ‘One Time’? I am so very pleased I got nominated, though. Whoever did it, I am supremely grateful! First ever nomination. *hugs it*
Tell me about a nice thing that’s happened in your life lately! Maybe a bad thing as well, if you need to rant. My favoured method would be one bad thing, three good things, because that’s how your lives should be, my darlings. Also because I’ve come to realise that I myself am somewhat obnoxiously perky.
My “happy” tag has 22 uses, my “anxious”, “angry” and “sad” tags 7 uses between them. This is why I’m lucky.

Date: 2009-01-22 01:30 am (UTC)It was rather funny for me to read your post as last week my life was also ruled by three's.
Not Terribly Happy Things:
1. My fridge broke. Although it was mostly filled with condiments and alcohol, this was still ridiculously inconvenient! And there was no ice for the alcohol. :(
2. I fell down the steep, icy, flight of stairs from my apartment. Again, there was alcohol for my pain but no ice for my bruises! Oh, the irony. (no, no, I'm not really alcoholic... no really!!)
3. Because my car didn't pass a certain test my insurance was 4x more expensive and I am already quite pathetically poor.
Happy Things!:
1. Our landlord bought us a new fridge! Woo hoo!! It's shiny & pretty & clean. Yay!!!
2. Though battered & bruised, I didn't break anything during my fall! Double Woo hoo!!! (except perhaps my pride? haha)
3. I heard from a friend who had been MIA for over two weeks and the last message I got from him said he had been in the hospital. But he's still alive & doing better! Now that's Very Very Happy News!!! :D
I think you have just a fabulous attitude in life, luv! *hugs*
