She knows that.

Thanks, Hoodcom. I'll try. I can't imagine failing.

Eeh, that sounds terrible, keep her in good spirits, and let her be appreciated, she's a best mate to you, after all.

Letting a person know they are appreciated by yourself is always a good first step. I wish you the best in your attempt to bring her out of this gloomy pit of despair, Rulez.

+NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams arrived in the door today. I played it for a bit, and I'm really enjoying it!

+My main tutor gave me feedback today on my progress in college. He said I'm doing very well, even in attendance. I suppose I've been hard on myself. He even said that if I do well in Wednesday's exam (and I most definitely will, as it's going to be piss easy), it will put me in a position where I've already passed a mandatory module at the year's halfway point. He said he was disappointed I didn't have a finished 2D game for my first assignment, but considering the circumstances, that was never going to happen. And I can take that as a positive comment, in a sense, as it means the work I have been doing is impressing the tutors.

+I'm taking tomorrow off to make a final push with my last two assignments, and they should be just about done by the time I'm finished. There's no point going in, as it will waste time, especially when there is a Christmas concert on in the canteen during my 3 hour break, which I would of used to wrap up assignments. After that, things should be fairly easy going for me leading into the holidays, and then I get the new laptop on Friday (and Thursday is my last day, so I have all day to tinker with the laptop when I first get it)!

+/-I'm still worried about my performance in other modules, but in all fairness, there has been a HUGE overload of work to do which has negatively effected my health, and there has even been poor organisation and conveyance on the part of the tutors. So I can't blame myself, as I've really been trying hard and pushing myself to make the best of what I have to work with. I hate sounding like I'm complaining about the educational institutes I enroll in, as it seems to be a thing I do often. It's just that there is so much wrong with things. At least I'm not alone in thinking this.

-Things may get rather lonesome over the Christmas, in a strange way...

All in all though, things are pretty good right now, actually.

Awful, really. Gives me a bit of an emotional jab. I really do hope she'll be alright.

- The first day of the final week was pretty much worthless.

- Homework, lots of it

+ Wii U arrived

+/- I'm actually pretty busy and my mother is...forcing me to play video games? I guess playing Rayman Legends is at least not such a bad thing.

Hopefully she isn't, though if she is, try to convince her to perform an abortion. Even if she is against it, killing herself will result in the death of both her and her unborn child, rather than just the child. It's depressing, but the best option. Convince her that her life is worth living, and that you and others would miss her very much.

I cannot put into words how much that sucks, though, if she is. :(
Evidently you've never heard of adoption, a much more humane option.

Evidently, it seems as though she doesn't want to birth the child in the first place.

Also, in my opinion anyway, abortions are no less humane than not having sex. I really don't want to get into a debate about this, though, since it is a sensitive topic.

+ Pistachios.
+/- I sometimes feel like friends are a drug, I can't live without them and the more I spend time with them the worse it gets when I don't because I can't wait until the next time I do.

- No mom, don't start with your shit. Honestly, can she ever learn that there's no point whatsoever in getting angry over every little thing? Life is short, don't spend it mad, don't spend it angry; spend it glad, spend it happy. I realize that I should probably take my own advice considering how much of a melodramatic bitch I can be, but I've actually been taking that advice myself a lot recently and it's helped me as much as or even more than talk therapy. Which did help but felt like a load of bullshit considering how pricey it was.
+/- A new day arrives tomorrow, will I spend it worthwhile or in sorrow.
+ (- for everyone else) The rhymes I've started, hopefully I'll find a word other than farted.
- Dear God, I'm not even trying anymore.

- Tomorrow will be really busy. I'm also gonna have to discuss how I'm gonna get trough some work with my English teacher and when I don't like a teacher I always have this invisible tape on my mouth that keeps me from speaking up. I guess I don't like the "The quiet kid said something!! Gasp!!!!" reactions either. Oh well.

+ But for now let's just enjoy this night which has been great so far. C:

+ Finished all my homework.

+ Another day closer to vacation. Just four left now.

- I have a test and exam to take in just a few hours. Better sleep.

What stolen video is this? I don't recall you mentioning this before, unless I've read it already and forgotten.

+Am pleasantly surprised many people here share my distaste for casual sex and abortion.

-Truly sorry to hear about that, Rulez. If you're the slightest bit religious, pray for your friend. And even if you're not, it could help calm things down. It did for me back when I wasn't religious, anyway.

I personally think abortion is a better option than adoption if she is pregnant, but that's only if she could get it done legally. Black market abortions are terrible.

Sorry, I'm an atheist.

+ she got her period today. God, were we ever so stressed. Strange that it was late, but man, the relief.

I've been feeling a little off too, but that might be to do with the event I have to go to tonight, I hate having the attention of an audience.
