Welcome to Disneyland

[Roller coaster.
That's all I can say. Roller coaster. It describes my day pretty well, I think...
This morning started off great. I woke up early from a good long night's sleep with the kind of weird dreams I love, got to school on time, didn't get in anything resembling a fight with my parents...
And just when I was beginning to think the day would be decent, I got to school.
And everything went to hell.
No, I don't know how that happened, I don't know why, but suddenly my day went from great to bad. And all day it got worse. My only spot of light (until I got home, that is) was the fact that I got to spend all of my lunch period working on something I wanted to work on, rather than some project or other. So by the time I got on the bus I wanted nothing more than to sit and listen to my Japanese rap (don't ask) in peace.
Fortunately, things started looking up when I got home. The dog only peed once (a rare event) so I only had to mop half the house; the computers weren't locked up or displaying any error messages; the TV worked and I hadn't missed any of my shows. Of course, the computers were slow as heck and wouldn't let me open a file I needed, and my math homework was a bugger, and the VCR still won't spit out my friend's tape, but overall things were looking up. And to top it off I saw the preview for this weekend's YGO episode. It looks like it's going to have two of my favorite characters who aren't shown very often (Shadi and Pegasus! Yay!).
And to make things better, I downloaded another Inu-yasha movie clip that had part of Sesshoumaru's transformation to demon. Pure bliss...
But really, the highlight of my day came when I showed up at my friend/math teacher's house for our weekly Irish music session and found out we had another guitarist. (This was very good news - we've been a flute duo and one guitar/bodhran since March of last year, and we need some new input badly.) I had just barely begun to celebrate when he came out.
Have you ever had one of those teachers you absolutely loved? Y'know, the kind that you would spend all day in their classroom because they're just so cool, but unfortunately the rest of the world seems to have dibs on him/her? That's what Mr. Riddle is like. So when I found out he was the new guitarist, I was overjoyed. Actually, overjoyed isn't strong enough. Let's just say a thousand "Eek!"s wouldn't have sufficed.
So from great to good to bad to horrible to worse to indifferent to decent to okay to good to excellent...yup. Roller coaster. ]

To find yourself jilted is a blow to your pride. Do your best to forget it and if you don't succeed, at least pretend to.
