Recant!

Apologies to everyone for my unhappy Happy post yesterday. Posting last thing before bed time is probably not the wisest time to start an embarrassing self-pity-fest, and I knew it was a bad idea at the time - my finger did hover over the disabling comments for a moment. But then I remembered times when flisties have posted things and done the whole no comments thing and I'd been frustrated, so I left it open.

Anyhow, thank you for all the kicks up the proverbial backside, pep talks and general slaps round the head for being an idjit. I don't usually whinge, I prefer to be Dean-like in my stoicism, and keep all that unpleasant lack of self confidence hidden because no one loves a moaner. Including me. So don't worry, I won't make a habit of it!

Back to being British, normal service is resumed.

Everyone is allowed to have one day of self-pity once a month. Especially females :)

ha ha I can't use PMT as an excuse, I'm way past that LOL. Self pity is fine, but one should keep it to oneself, darling. Especially when one is British. So infra dig.

I had an utterly petulant day about a week back. Threw my toys out of the pram cos my computer was wired up ALL WRONG and it was JUST SO STRESSFUL!

So I had a cup of tea and a biscuit and told myself to stop being such a child :)

*hugs*
Most of my friends-only entries are whining and ranting. Please don't defriend me! QAQ...

Nah you don't whine, and ranting is fine. I don't defriend people!
Besides, I have good double standards - I'm always telling my friends to vent but I don't like doing it myself.

What's QAQ?

QAQ is two tearing eyes and a half open mouth!

oooooh an emoticon! Never seen that one before!

Now there's a thing - you must normally write using Chinese characters - do you have hanzi emoticons?

[chomaisky.livejournal.com]

I think there's only one frequently used hanzi emoticon which is 囧 (pronounced like John)it resembles a face. You can use it when you've done or encountered something embarrassing or ridiculous or unbelivable.
My friends and I actually use lots of graphic emoticons when chatting. My icon in this comment is one graphic version of 囧.

That actually looks like a little house inside a box - but yes I can see a face too!

We have all been there and had those days so many times. You are awesome!

I get it; I've had similar thoughts, so I'm here if you want to talk it out, rant, whatever...No need for apologies. We all have those days where it feels worse and it helps putting it into words and getting it out of your head every so often.
