The motivation for this thread goes way back to my FCA days, that's Fellowship of Christian Athletes for those that don't already know. In our weekly meetings the first thing we did was share all the little things that had brought joy to our lives. I'll go first.

Today the fountain and reflecting pool next to the art buildings were finally filled and activated, I really had missed the fresh spray of mist they created that made for a nice cool off on hot summer days.

[Lord Rocha]

Well. Yesterday I got my monthly report card with all my grades and after 2 months of deception I got a perfect overal garde of 10.00 (equal to having a perfect score in my 12 subjects).

The last two months I had 9.9 and 9.8, that are also superb (since the average good students is happy 9.2 or 9.4) ,but I was getting worried about the consequences in my final results.

Now with half of this year months with a 10 average, another half with 9.9 and a sad month with 9.8 ; I will surely be Top of my class in the graduation ceremony in June.

It rained today, and as I stood outside in it feeling it kiss my face I felt truly alive and greatful to whoever made this earth.

School's out for summer...

I'm now a third year student, only 2 1/2 more years to go.

I moved out of my tiny dorm room and into the three bedroom house I'm renting for the summer. (anyone want to room with me? I have all this space all to myself and I don't know what to do with it.)

[Tovor]

What did you do with Darth Insightful, throw him in a trunk and put him in storage for the summer? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[Darth Fabulous]

No, we're from different parts of Ohio.

I got to see my girlfriend for the first time in weeks. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/inlove.gif

[Darth Whaler]

I recently went down to Miami U. and got to look at all the "scenery." Darth Fabulous will know what I mean. I love it when the weather gets warm. That brings lots of joy to the males in Oxford.

Plus: I got to play hockey with my brother (haven't played together in two years). Speaking of hockey, another thing that brings me joy: Colorado and Detroit are both out of the NHL playoffs already. Woohoo!

[Darth Fabulous]

Yeah, I miss sharing a quad with all the sorority girls already. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unhappy.gif

Yeah, but most of us have heard the stories about when seeing naked women was not nearly as fun as it sounds... :o)

<span style='color:purple'>This is what I've found in her mouth, and she's never been hurt or sick!!!! :

- she was chewing on something in the living room.. I pryed her mouth open, somehow she got a hold of one of my leg shavers and had the head of the shaver with the razor blade in her mouth.. chewing

- She was spinning in circles in my room making a wierd noise, she had something stuck in her mouth.. I opened it and it was a medicine pill foil thingy.. that you pop the pills out of.. it was stuck in her teeth and the pill had been eaten.. Claratin.. hahah

- I've found numerous eyeliners on the ground chewed and eaten along with lipstick.

- She chewed a hole in my handmade persian rug. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crying.gif

- she chews on wall corners.

- She got in the trash and ate some siran wrap.

- Plus she has a complex for ice..

Numerous other things I cant remember off the top of my head.. this dog is not a dog.. it's a GOAT! </span>

[Tovor]

she chews on wall corners.

[Blizzard]

This is the joys thread, right?

My almost-13-year-old came home from school last week and said, "Remember that super tall boy I told you about who looked really lonely and you told me to make friends with him?"

He did. I love my son. He's so cool! He's going to be a great man. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bigsmile.gif

Well her face is so flat I wouldnt be surprised if it was the inside corner.. but it's the outside.. ahha
